Dear Mr. Shea:
f refer to my memorandum o f December 12, 1978, which enclosed an Executive Branch analysis and favorable recommendation with respect to a license application for the export of highly-enriched uranium to Japan, which inadvertently failed to in.lude the favorable Executive Branch recommendation for the intermediate consignee in the Federal Republ.ic of Ger-many, as described below:
NRC No. XSNM01190 -- Application by Trans-nuclear Inc. for authorization to export to Japan via the Federal Republic of Ger-many 4.5 7 2 kilogams o f U-235 contained in 4.9 kilograms o f uranium in the form of enriched to a maximum o f 9 3.3 percent U308 U-235.
The U 0 8 vill be shippe.d to Nukem, 3
GmbH, Hanau, FRG, for conversion to UF6, then transferred to the Nuclear Fuel In-dustry Company, Ltd.,
Osaka, Japan for fabrication into. fuel assemblies for the Kyoto ~ University Critical Assembly.
The proposed export to the intermediate consignee in the FRG would take place pursuant to the Additional Agreement for Cooperation Between the United States and The European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) as con-firmed in a letter from the Delegation to the Commission o f the European Communities dated June 20, 1978.
EURATOM has hdhered.to the provisions of its Agreement for Co-operation wi'th the United States.
The Executive Branch has reviewed this application and concluded that the requirements o f the Atomic Energy
~
Act and P.L.95-242 have been met and that the proposed export will not te inimical to the common defense and security o f the United Sta:es.
A detailed analysis for 9 'i 0 3 O foo 2 5 t
2 the FRG and the European Community was submitted December 8, 1978 (NRC No. ISNM-1241).
There has b een no material change i'n circumstances regarding the European Community since that submission.
On the basis o f the foregoing, the Executive Branch recommends that the lic.hns e b e issued.
Sincerely, j/
