FEB 131979 MEMORANDUM TO THE FILE STAFF CONCLUSI0f;S REGARDING LICENSE TO EXPORT NUCLEAR MATERIAL TO BELGIUM (XMAT0006)
In July 1978, Aldrich Chemical Company, Inc., applied for a license to export deuterium to Belgium for NMR applications in analytical chemistry.
In a letter dated February 1, 1979, the State Department informed the NRC that it is the view of the Executive Branch that proposed exports of nuclear material to the European Community meet the three criteria of 10 CFR 110.42(b) for the export of nuclear material and that such exports will not be inimical to the common defense and security. The three criteria of 5110.42(b), (1) application of IAEA safeguards to the material, (2) no nuclear explosive use of the material, and (3) no retransfer of the material without prior U.S.
approval, are met by Belgium as confirmed in a letter to the Department of State dated January 25, 1979 from the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities. The staff agrees that the three criteria are met.
As required by Section 109b of the Atomic Energy Act and 5110.44 (a)
(1)(ii) of Part 110, the staff has concluded that the proposed exoort would not be inimical to the common defense and security of the United States or constitute an unreasonable risk to public health and safety.
