Dear Mr. Boright:
I refer to your letter of May 11, 1981, which forwarded assurances from the Government of Spain that all nuclear activities in Spain currently are under IAEA Safeguards, and, should that situation change, the Government of Spain would consult with the U.S. Government 90 days in advance.
In the event the U.S. is notified of a change in situation which affects IAEA full-scope safeguards in Spain, it is requested that the Department promptly inform the NRC.
With respect to recently approved exoorts to Spain and to applications for material to Spain currently under Commission review, there has been some confusion with regard to the license and amendment numbers noted in the Spanish letters of assurance.
Commission review of these cases has been on the under-standing that the numbers referenced in the.Spanish assurance letters correspond to the following quantities:
1.
Ldtter dated May 11, 1981 from the Embassy of Spain (Ref. No. 332a) re:
XSNM01045, Amendments 1 and la.

enriched to 3.72%, containing 635 kilograms of U-235. This request was approved by the Commission on May 22, 1981 and is now referred to as NRC License No. XSNM01045, Amendment No. 2.
XSNM01045, Amendment No. I covers an additional 71,803.56 kilograms of uranium, enriched to 3.72%, containing 2,513.123 kilograms of U-235. This request is currently under Commission review.

We would appreciate it if you would inform the Embassy of Spain of our under-standing with respect to the references in the Spanish letters of assurance. With respect to future assurances obtained from the Embassy, it would be helpful. if they referred to the specific quantities shown on the application.
