1 Statement Regarding the Arrangement Between the United States Nuclear Regulatory 1 Comission (U.S.N.R.C.) and the Israel Atomic Energy Comission (I.A.E.C.) For j the Exchange of Technical Informatien and Cooperation in Nuclear Safety Matters, '
'( - Washington, DC April 11, 1983.
Explanation of Arrangement ,
This Arrangement pr'ovides a vehicle for formally continuing the timely exchange of nuclear safety infomation on the design, construction, and operation of [
nuclear power plants in the U.S. and Israel, which was begun in May 1978 with signature of the original five-year exchange Arrangement. It is, in essence. [
very similar to the original Arrangement, although several of the provisions i
, have evolved into greater specificity, reflecting lessons learned from five l years of experience with the program. The exchange of infomation will take ;
the foms of technical and operating experience reports, news releases, corres-pondence, visits, and other such means as the parties agree. Nonproprietary i information exchanged will be allowed unrestricted dissemination; proprietary and confidential or privileged information, except as agreed, will be exchanged i under existing national policies, laws, regulations, and agreements. No proliferation-sensitive information will be exchanged. Signature of this n Arrangement extends its provisions for another five years. i Background Information on Negotiations !
![
i-This Arrangement continues the nuclear safety exchange and cooperation between the U.S. and Israel formalized by the predecessor Arrangement signed on
(
May 19,1978. Without renewal at this time, the original Arrangement, also of five-year duration, wounddare expired May 18, 1983.
h
- (
Effect of the Arrangement i This Arrangement continues the formal comunication end cooperation channels >
through which NRC and the IAEC exchange nuclear safety information. It assists .
in assuring the continued safe operation of power reactors throughout the world i j by contributing to a data bank of experience from which we all can draw. l l

SCOPE OF THE ARRANGEMENT C
I.1 Technical Infonnation Exchange l
To the extent that the U.S.N.R.C. and the I.A.E.C. are permitted to do so under the laws, regulations, and policy directives of their re';pective countries, the parties agree to continue the exchange of the following types of technical information relating to the regula-tion of safety and environmental impact of designated nuclear ,l facilities: -
- a. Topical reports concerning safety, safeguards, and environmental y .
't effects written by or for one of the parties as a basis for, or in support of, regulatory decisions and policies.
l b. Documents relating to significant licensing actions and safety i
and environmental decisions affecting nuclear facilities. These may include, but not be limited to, documents relating to site licensing principles and problems, with specific emphasis on principles and guidelines for site safety evaluations regarding . -
(1) the proximity of capable faulting, l_
(2) the proximity of a potential earthquake focus, and '
(3) the site response to a nearby earthquake; and principles and guidelines for using probabilities in safety evaluations of I
(4) seismic and tectonic events, i
~
\
l
- . , d 3
(
(5) tsunamis and like phenomena, and (6) meteorological and hydrological phenomena. '
- c. Detailed documents describing the U.S.N.R.C. process for licensing and regulating certain U.S. facilities designated by [
the I.A.E.C. as similar to certain facilities being built or j planned in Israel and equivalent documents on such Israeli
.f facilities.
- d. Infomation in the field of reactor safety research which the parties have the right to disclose, either in the possession of I i.
one of the parties or available to it, including light water '
reactor safety infomation from the technical areas described
,. in Addenda "A" and "B", attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Each party will transmit to the other urgent infomation concern-ing research results that require early attention in the if interest of public safety, along with an indication of significant implications. .
, i
- e. Reports on operating experience, such as reports on nuclear incidents, accidents and shutdowns, and compilations of historical reliability data on components and systems.
. s
- f. Regulatory procedures fer the safety, safeguards, and environmental impact evaluation of nuclear facilities. ;I
- g. Early advice of important events, such as serious operating incidents and government-directed reactor shutdowns, that are of immediate interest to the parties.

.[
j I.2 Cooperation in Safety Research The execution of joint programs and projects of safety research and
- development, or those programs and projects under which activities l-are divided between the two parties including the use of test -
facilities and/or computer programs owned by either party, will be agreed upon on a case-by-case basis and be the subject of a separate ,
agreement implemented by the appropriate research organizations of i the parties. Temporary assignments of personnel by one party in the -
other party's agency will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
I o'
! I.3 Training and Assignments f- ,
1 The U.S.N.R.C. will assist the I. A.E.C. in providing certain ,
training and experience for I.A.E.C. safety personnel. Costs of salary, allowances and travel of I. A.E.C. participants will be paid p I
by I.A.E.C. Participation will be permitted within the limitation
- of available resources. The following are typical of the categories of such training and experience that may be provided
1
- a. I.A.E.C. inspector accompaniment of U.S.N.R.C. inspectors on ;
reactor and reactor construction inspection visits in the U.S., I
- including extended briefings at U.S.N.R.C. regional inspection offices. l 1

The U.S.N.R.C. will attempt, within the lim'itations of appropriated .i i
resources and legislative authority, to assist the I.A.E.C. in i
., meeting its needs. For example, within these limitations, the '
f-.
U.S.N.R.C. will attempt to meet requests that come through the IAEA for technical assistance missions to Israel by U.S.N.R.C. safety experts. .
II. ADMINISTRATION I
- a. The exchange of information under this Arrangement will be accomplished through letters, reports, and other documents, and by visits and meetings arranged in advance on a case-by-case basis.
