Memorandum to the File STAFF CONCLUSIONS REGARDING LICENSE TO EXPORT SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL TO SWEDEN (XSNM-1357)
In July 28, 1978, Westinghouse Electric Corporation applied for a license to export 109,406.170 kilograms of uranium, enriched to 3.30%
U-235, to Sweden for use in the Ringhals Nuclear Power Stations Nos. 3 and 4.
In response to our August 3, 1978 request for views, the Executive Branch (1) concluded that issuance of the license would not be inimical to the common defense and security, and (2) confirmed that the material will be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Agreement for Cooperation between the US and Sweden.
These views and license application analysis by the Executive Branch were forwarded by the State Department memorandum of November 17, 1978.
Confirmation of the applicability of the US-Sweden Agreement was also set forth in a letter from the Embassy of Sweden.
The material requested under application XSNM-1314 is low-enriched uranium intended for routine reload of the Ringhals Nuclear Power Stations Nos. 3 and 4.
Under 10 CFR 110.40(b)(2) the staff is authorized to issue routine export licenses for reloads of low-enriched uranium fuel for use in power reactors with respect to which a previous export license to receive fuel has been issued.
Export licenses previously have been issued for fueling the Ringhals facility.
The Commission, in reviewing prior export license applications for Sweden (e.g. XSNM-1074 issued June 12,1978), has determined that Sweden meets the applicable export licensing requirements of 10 CFR 110.44(a)(1).
The staff has found that there are no material changed circumstances associated with the subject application from those existing at the time of issuance of XSNM-1074; therefore the license may be issued urder the authority contained in Section 126(a)(2) of the Atomic Energy Act and 10 CFR 110.44(a)(2).
