September 21, 2020 Mr. Robin DeLaBarre Office of Nuclear Energy, Safety & Security Affairs, Room 3320 HST Bureau of International Security
& Nonproliferation U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20520
Dear Mr. DeLaBarre:
Enclosed is an application dated July 28, 2020, received by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission from EnergySolutions, requesting Amendment No. 02 to license XW018/01 for the export of radioactive material to Germany. The purpose of the amendment is to: (1) increase the cumulative radioactivity limits for the total quantities of radioactive material/waste; (2) increasing the weight of radioactive material/waste exported to Germany; (3) revise the route of shipments; (4) rescind specific authorization for disposal of imported material/waste in certain RCRA Subtitle D landfills in accordance with the conditional release conditions of our Bulk Waste Assay Program (BWAP) authorized in the ES Tennessee RMLs as Tennessee does not authorize this process for imported radioactive material/waste; and (5) extend the license from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2026.
Before taking action on this NRC license application, we would appreciate your assistance in notifying the German Government of the proposed radioactive waste export and obtaining any comments that the German Government might have in the context of the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management.
We also request your views as to whether the subject export will be Consistent with the Convention's guidelines.
Sincerely, 9/21/2020 X Peter J. Habighorst Peter J. Habighorst Signed by: Peter J. Habighorst Peter J. Habighorst, Chief Export Controls and Nonproliferation Branch Office of International Programs
