SUBJECT:

Dear Chris Schwarz:
By letters dated April 7, 2023, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System
[ADAMS] Accession Nos. ML23097A077), Louisiana Energy Services (LES), LLC dba Urenco USA (UUSA), requested the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of an amendment to Materials License SNM-2010 to revise License Condition 10.k and approval of Revision 12 of the Movement Plan for Transportation of Classified Centrifuge Components/Materials between Tripartite Countries and the U.S.
By letter dated June 24, 2023 (ML23177A054), UUSA informed the NRC that the Centrifuge Collaboration Security Working Group had endorsed Revision 13 of the Movement Plan. As a result, UUSA requested NRC approval of Movement Plan, Revision 13, and that Materials License SNM-2010, License Condition 10.k be updated with this version.
The NRC staff has completed its review of the above submittals and find that the changes proposed are in accordance with the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 95.39(e), and do not decrease the effectiveness of the Standard Practices Procedure Plan. Therefore, license amendment request 23-03 is approved and License Condition 10.k of SNM-2010 will be amended as follows:
k.
Movement Plan for Transportation of Classified Centrifuge Components/Materials between Tripartite Countries and the U.S. dated February 26, 2008, as revised by letters dated December 8, 2017, and June 24, 2023 (ML23177A054).
Enclosures 1 and 3 transmitted by this letter contain Security Related Information. When separated from Enclosures 1 and 3, this letter and Enclosure 2 are decontrolled.
