Dear Mr. DeLaBarre:

Enclosed is an application (XW027) dated April 27, 2020, received by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) from Perma-Fix Northwest Richland, Inc. The application requests the export of low-level radioactive material in the form of contaminated personal protective equipment, plastic, paper, and small quantities of glass generated by hospital and research projects in Germany. The material will be imported into the U.S. under a general import license and will be returned to Germany, the originating country.

Before taking action on this NRC license application, we would appreciate your assistance in notifying the government of Germany of the proposed radioactive waste export and obtaining any comments that the government of Germany 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
