Dear Ms. Wright:

G' Please find enclosed our application for a license to export enriched UF6. This material will be used for the fabrication of fuel assemblies and ultimately loaded into Tsuruga Unit No. 2, Region 4 owned by The Japan Atomic Power Company in Japan.

4 The contract for the uranium enriching services with the U.S. Enrichment Corporation (USEC)is EC-SCOl-98UE08240 Please note that the feed material is supplied by Canada and Namibia.

The relevant enriched UF6 will be delivered from USEC's Portsmouth Enrichment Plant in Piketon, Ohio. After being exported to Japan, it will be converted to UO2 powder, palletized and fabricated into fuel assemblies by Mitsubishi Nuclear Fuel Co., Ltd.

As to the validity of the export license, we wish to have a two-year period from the date ofissuance.

With regard to sampling, we request that Two (2) P-10 tube samples be taken from each parent cylinder. These samples should be delivered to Mitsubishi International corporation c/o Teledyne Brown Engineering Environmental services for independent analysis. 'We also request that JAI Corporation witness the weighing, sampling and loading operation.
