The File FROM:

R. Neal Moore Senior Licensing Officer Office of Intunational Programs

SUBJECT:

STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED IMPORT OF 30,000 KILOGRAMS URANIUM ENRICHED TO 3.5% FROM FRANCE ISNM82010 Edlow International Company applied for a license on August 3,1982 to import 30,000 kilograms of uranium enriched to 3.5% U-235 from France for ultimate use by Florida Power & Light at its Turkey Point Power Plant.

The UF6 will be transported in 30A cylinders, DOT Spec. 7A, IAEA certificate number USA /4909/B( )F.

Thousands of tons of normal and slightly enriched UF6 are transported within the U.S. annually and this practice has been going on for many years without a significant incident. This proposed import represents an extremely small transported each year in the U.S. and would not

'~

percentage of the total UF6 result in any significant change in the probability of a potential accident involving UF -

6 l

The propo ed import conforms with the -standard provisions that have governed shipments of low-enriched UF6 for many years with no significant impact on the environment or the general public. The staff finds this importation i

will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or constitute an undue risk to public health, safety, or to the environment.
