Dear Admiral Watkins:
The Commission has recently reviewed with your staff the issue of export control requirements on sensitive nuclear technology,(SNT) as defined in Section. 4(a) of ~ the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978 (NNPA). Under the-law, the Department of Energy (DOE) is required to-consult with HRC~and other agencies before authorizing SNT-and other, less sensitive, nuclear technology exports. L Our conclusions differ on the oasis for defining SNT, as' summarized in the. enclosed memorandum from our General Counsel, However, the-Commission q recogp1zes that DOE has full and fiaal authority under the law both to define ~ 1 3.'1. SNT and regulate its export,. L Cw.. ks40n-does-not4ntend-tc cias enratten-fur-ther-in curTtiture caTe tiyxcaTe tolmrtt'ztions orrmueten, munuiegy axpart vagunsla. We will continue to provide DOE with our views on whether } such exports are inimical to the national interest. As you know, we have agreed in the past with DOE's overall statutory findings. <t i Because of its significance, I am bringing this matter to your parsonal attention in case you wish to review past practices in this area. Sincerely, /Qf ' ' - h =n Carr l
