Dear Ms Hemby,

Q Re: Export Licence Application for replacement 6 Drums Heavy Water by US Department of Energy under Contract No: DE-AC09 76SR00329.

1.

Please find attached Licence application, together with a copy of our Purchase Order 15378, issued in favour of the United States Department of Energy.

2.

Due to an unforseen delay of some six months in obtaining the quotation from the United States Department of Energy, the low stock level of Heavy Water at the Australian Atomic Energy Commission has reached a critical level.

3.

We would therefore appreciate if the attached application would be expedited at your earliest convenience.
