\\ \\ CN'o M5-Memorandum to the File STAFF CONCLUSIONS REGARDING LICENSE TO EXPORT SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL TO WEST GERMANY (XSNM01393)
In October 1978, Transnuclear, Incorporated applied for a license to export 37,160 kilograms o-uranium, enriched to 3.0% U-235, to West Germany for use in the orunsbuttel reactor.
In response to our November 13, 1978 request for views, the Executive Branch (1) concluded that issuance of the license would not be inimical to the common defense and security, and (2) confirmed that the material will be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Additional Agree-ment for Cooperation between the US and EURATOM.
These views and license application analysis by the Executive Branch were forwarded by State Department memorandum of January 15, 1979.
Confirmation of the applicability of the US-EURATOM Agreement was set forth by letter dated November 15, 1978 from the EURATOM Delegation.
The material requested under application XSNM01393 is low-enriched uranium intended for routine reload of the Brunsbuttel reactor.
Under 10 CFR 110.40(b)(2) the staff is authorized to issue export licenses for routine reloads of low-enriched uranium fuel for use in power reactors witn respect to which a previous export license to receive fuel has been issued.
Export licenses have been issued previously for fueling the Brunsbuttel facility.
The Comission, in reviewing prior export license applications to
'Mst Germany (e.g., XSNM01210 issued September 1,1978 and XSNM01281 issued December 26,1978), has determined that West Gennany meets the applicable export licensing requirements of 10 CFR ll6.44(a)(1).
The staff has found that there are no material changed circumstances associated with the subject application from those existing at the time of issuance of XSNM01210 and XSNM01281 therefore, the license may be issued under the authority contained in Section 126(a)(2) of the Atomic Energy Act and 10 CFR 110.44(a)(2).
