SUBJECT:
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED T0'THE PROPOSED IMPORT OF \\
N
gkEh3p i
12,500 KILOGRAMS URANIUM ENRICHED TO 1.10% FROM FRANCE - ISNM81019 Transnuclear, Incorporated submitted an application dated August 7, 1981 for a license authorizing the import of 12,500 kilograms of uranium enriched to 1.10% U-235, as UF, from France.
The material will be returned to the U.S.
1 6
Department of Energy to be used as enriched feed against further product deliveries under a EURATOM-held uranium enrichment services contract, num-ber UES/EU/41.
The UF6 will be transported from France by sea and trucked from the port of entry to the DOE enrichment facility in specification packages bearing the certificate of competent authority number USA /4909/B()F.
Thousands of tons of normal and slightly enriched UFs 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 percentage of the total UF6 transported each year in the U.S. and would not result in any significant change in the probability of a potential accident involving UF -
6 t
i The proposed 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 will not be inimical to the common defense and security or constitute an undue risk to public health, safety, or to the environment.
