Dear Mr. Helfrich:
Enclosed please find an application from Pathfinder Mines Corporation for a license to export U 08 to Mexico which had originally been imported from 3
Mexico as impure uranium concentrate. Pathfinder will purify the material and export the material to Mexico for storage purposes.
It is our under-standing that the U 03 8 will be reimported into the United States at a later date for enrichment purposes and eventual use as fuel for the Laguna Verde nuclear reactor facility.
Before taking action on this license application, we would appreciate your views, in accordance with established procedures and from the overall perspec-tive of the Executive Branch, as to whether the issuance of the requested license would be inimical to the interests of the United States, including the common defense and security, and whether the proposed export meets the applicable criteria in the Atomic Energy Act as amended by the Nuclear Non-proliferation Act of 1978 Sincerely, B
Bz N PetYrson, Acting Assistant Director Export / Import and International Safeguards Office of International Programs
