WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 Q etj APR 2 71979 Memorandum to the File STAFF CONCLUSIONS REGARDING LICENSE TO EXPORT SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL TO BELGIUM (XSNM01430)
In December 1978, Transnuclear, Incorporated applied for a license to export 10,581.0 kilograms of uranium, enriched to 3.4% U-235, to Belgium for use in the Doel No. 2 reactor.
In response to our December 14, 1978 request for views, the Executive Branch (1) concluded that issuance of the license would not be inimical to the conmon defense and-security, and (2) confinned that the material will be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Additional Agreement for Cooperation between the US and EURATOM.
These views and license application analysis by the Executive Branch were forwarded by State Department memorandum of February 22, 1979.
Confirmation of the applicability of the US-EURATOM Agreement was set forth by letter dated January 10, 1979 from the EURATOM Delegation.
The material requested under application XSNM-1430 is low-enriched uranium intended for routine reload of the Doel No. 2 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 with respect to which a previous export license to receive fuel has been issued.
Export licenses have been issued previously for fueling the Doel No. 2 facility.
The Conmission, in reviewing prior export license applications to Belgium (e.g. XSNM01260 issued September 8,1978 and XSNM01326 issued February 26,1979), has determined that Belgium meets the applicable export licensing requirements of 10 CFR 110.44(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 XSNM01260 and XSNM-1326, 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).
