MEMORANDUM FOR: The File FROM:
R. Neal Moore Senior Licensing Officer Office of International Programs
SUBJECT:
STAFF FINDINGS RELATED TO THE PROPOSED IMPORT OF 66,000 KILOGRAMS URANIUM ENRICHED TO 3.4% FROM USSR-ISNM82005.
Exxon Nuclear Company, Inc., applied for a license on February 26, 1982 to import 66,000 kilograms of uranium enriched to 3.4%
U-235 from the USSR' for the manufacture of fuel assemblies for reloads XN-3 and XN-4 for the Biblis B reactor, /6 m.6d trMy.
A-The UF6 will be transported in 30B cylinders, D0T Spec. 21PF-1 overpack, l
IAEA certificate number USA /4909/AF.
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 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 UF6-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 undut risk to public health, safety, or to the environment.
