" Transaction:
The export of 4.572 kilograms of U-235 contained in 4.9 kilograms of uranium in the form of U 03 8 enriched to a maximum of 93.3 percent U-235 Applicant:
Transnuclear, Inc, Applicant's'
Reference:
NUK-186 77-298101 Date of Application:
August 17, 1977 Purpose of the Export The highly-enriched uranium will be shipped to Nukem, GmbH, Hanau, Federal Republic of Germany for conversion.
The highly-enriched uranium dioxide will then be shipped to the Nuclear Fuel Industry for fabrication into fuel assemblies for the Kyoto Company University Critical Assembly.
Shipment of this material is scheduled for'(KUCA) at the Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute, Osaka, Japan.
This research facility first achieved criticality on August 6, 1974.
This critical assembly has three cores--in the A and 'B cores square plate type fuel is utilized; in the C core a long flat plate type fuel is utilized.
The A and B cores combined use about 10 kilograms of uranium per loading; the C core utilizes another 10 kilograms of highly-enriched material.
The Research Reactor Institute has 20 kilograms of highly enriched uranium on hand for cores A, B and C.
The present application of approximately 5 kilograms is intended for a new core experiment utilizing fuel plates of different dimensions (long and curved).
