POLICY ISSUE (NEGATIVE CONSENT) t August 4, 1996 SECY-96-171 FOR:
The Commissioners FROM:
Carlton R. Stoiber, Director, Office of International Programs
SUBJECT:
DOE PART 810 REQUEST FROM DUKE ENGINEERING TO PROVIDE TECHNOLOGY AND SERVICES TO THE DEM0CRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC 0F KOREA i
PURPOSE:
l To inform t'he Commission of the staff's intention to send a letter to the Department of Energy (DOE) regarding a proposal to provide nuclear tec,hne-logy 4
2 and services to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

DISCUSSION:
Duke Engineering & Services, Inc., a subsidiary of Duke Power Company, has requested DOE authorization under 10 CFR Part 810 (Attachment 1 -96KN004) to provide to the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KED0) nuclear
. technology and services in connection with the reactor project in North Korea.
'The proposal would be part of the implementation of the U.S.-DPR,K Agreed Framework and the DPRK-KE00 Supply Agreement for the supply of two light water reactors to North Korea.
The subject request _is similar to recently granted DOE Part 810 authorizations for Sargent & Lundy, Comb,ustion Engineering, Stone & Webster, and oavtheon to participate in the KEDO project. The Commission posed no NRC ob'.tions to
?
these approvals, given the President's approval of the underlying Agreed Framework between the U.S. and the DPRK.
The staff believes th'at the policy issues and proliferation c0ncerns raised in j
these earlier cases were thoroughly addressed by the Commission and that there j
have been no changed circumstances since their review. (See SECY-96-040, SECY 96-104, SECY-96-126). Accordingly, the staff does not believe it necessary t
for the Commission to visit these issues again and agrees with DOE's conclusion that the subject case meets the statutory requirements for approval of a 10 CFR Part 810 request in light of its consistency with and support of U.S. obligations under the Agreed Framework and Supply Agreement.
