MAR 1 1988 MEMORANDUM FOR: The Files FROM:

Marvin R. Peterson, Assistant Director for International Security International Programs Office of Governmental and Public Affairs

SUBJECT:

PROPOSED EXP0RT LICENSE XCOM1013 On February 29, 1988, Reuter-Stokes requested a license to export 20 fission chambers to Austria for testing and ultimately to Canada for use in the Darlington Nuclear Power Reactor.

The applicant has requested an exemption to the normal 15-day waiting period due to the short lead time before shipment.

The staff has concluded that the proposed 1(cense meets the requirements of the Atomic Energy Act, as amended, and would not be inimical to the common defense and security of the United States. In view of the above considerations, the staff issued the license without the normal 15-day waiting period.

Attached is correspondence from IAEA requesting We ship 20 fission chambers to Austria for testing before they are installed in the  ;

Darlington Reactor in Canada.

These chambers can be shipped t.o canada for use in a reactor l under NRC General license llo.26(a).  !

The special nuclear material contained in these fission chambers can be shipped to Austria under NRC 110.21(a)3. (Each chamber contains 0.13323gm of U235. Enrichment is approximately 93%.)

Please verify that Router-Stokes may ship these to IAEA in Austria for testing only, from there to be shipped to and installed in the Darlington Reactor, Newcastle Township, Ontario, Canada. ._,

I will look forward to your reply.

R. .ssion Counter For neutron counting in a high gamma flux

.; I The AS P0-O%5134Isa fissioncounterforuseina mixed neutron and gamma flux.

. ,. ,- . It has special advantages in applications where the detector must operate while exDosed to high

~ gamma flux (>108/R/hr), in such cases, the very

'. ., large fission pulses permit discrimination against gamma pu!ses and pulse plie up because of the high neutron to gamma s!gnalratjo. B 10and BF,countors would expehence gamma pulse pile up to the extent that they cannot oo operated satisfactorily.

1-An additional advantage of a flSaion counter la that it does not suffer the rapid lifetime degradation common to B 10 and BF, counters.

in all potential app!! cations the inherent low sensitivity (0.14 ces/nv in 0 R/ht) must be weighed against the advantage of satisfactory performance (with reduced neutron sensitivity)in a high gamma environment.

In all cases of operation in a high gamma flux.

perdermance is greatly dependent on associated electronics. High count rate electronics are required for optimum performance.

The unit is constructed of aluminum alloy for minimum neutron absorption and residual activity.

All seals are ceramic to-metal. Insulators are high purity alumina.
