Memorandum to the File STAFF CONCLUSIONS REGARDING LICENSE TO EXPORT SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL TO SWEDEN (XSfN01532)

In June 1978, Edlow International Company applied for a license to export 44,870 kilograms of uranium, enriched to 3.55% U-235, to Sweden for use in the Oskarshamn II Nuclear Power Plant.

In response to our July 2,1979 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 Agreement for Cooperation between the US and Sweden. These views and license application analysis by the Executive Branch were forwarded by the State Department memorandum of August 29, 1979. Confirmation of the applica-bility of the US-Sweden Agreement was also set forth in a le~tter dated August 15, 1979, from the Embassy of Sweden.

The material requested under application XSNM01532 is low-enriched uranium intended for routine reload of the Oskarshamn II Nuclear Power Plant. Under 10 CFR 110.40(b)(2) the staff is authorized to issue routine export licenses for 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 previous-ly have been issued for fueling the Oskarshamn facility.

The Commission, in reviewing prior export license applications for Sweden (e.g.,

XSNM-1074 issued June 12, 1978 and XSfM-1248 issued April 11,1979) has determined that Sweden 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 XSNM-1074 and XSfN-1248; 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).
