Dear Mr. Shea:
Mba O Transnuclear Inc. is licensee for export licenses XSNM 02241 and XSNM 02315.
Material was planned to be shipped under these licenses in early 1988 in accordance with 10 CFR 73 strategic special nuclear material requirements.
The shipment was to be imported into Germany and transported within Germany by Transnuklear GmbH.
The material under licenses XSNM 02241 and 02315 was to be further transported to France.
In view of the temporary suspension of Transnuklear's and Nukem's licenses, Transnuclear has been requested by Institute Max Von Laue-Paul Langevin (ILL) in France to ship the French taaterial directly to France via.the French Air Force.
Enclosed is a copy of a letter from ILL requesting changes to licenses in question.
The inland US over the road transport for this shipment is contemplated using the services of the US DOE Safe Secure Transport System.
The US DOE, in late December stated that they would utili:e their SST System for only one more transport after which a conmercial carrier must be utilized.
At present there is no commercial carrier approved for this type of transport.
Accordingly, Transnuclear requests that the following changes be made to licenses XSNM 02241 and XSNM 02315.
