SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The United States engages in 

significant nuclear cooperation with 

other nations, including the authorized 

distribution of source material, pursuant 

to the terms of an Agreement for 

Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Nuclear 

Energy (123 Agreement). TLI currently 

holds a specific license, XSOU8839/01, 

authorizing the export of source 

material to several countries including 

the U.K. TLI’s export license was issued 

under the legal framework of a 123 

Agreement between the U.S. and 

EURATOM. 

On December 31, 2020, the U.K. will 

exit from EURATOM, and on January 1, 

2021, a 123 Agreement between the U.S. 

and the U.K. will enter into force. The 

U.S. Government has already made 

arrangements with the Government of 

the U.K. for this transition to occur on 

January 1, 2021 for all NRC-licensed 

exports to the U.K. However, beginning 

on January 1, 2021, the NRC is currently 

unable to authorize the export of 

EURATOM-obligated and Canadianobligated material from the U.S. to the 

U.K., until pre-approval to retransfer 

such material to the U.K. is received 

from EURATOM or the Canadian 

government, respectively. 

This suspension is required as an 

operation of law and only applies to 

exports of EURATOM-obligated or 

Canadian-obligated source material to 

the U.K. The NRC is reproducing the 

text of the Order as an attachment to 

this Federal Register notice.

Attachment—Order Suspending Export 

Licenses 

ORDER MODIFYING LICENSE TO 

SUSPEND CERTAIN EXPORTS TO THE 

UNITED KINGDOM 

(EFFECTIVE January 1, 2021) 

I 

Transport Logistics International 

(‘‘TLI’’ or ‘‘the licensee’’) holds a 

specific license (XSOU8839/01) issued 

by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) pursuant to Sections 

62 and 127 of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended (AEA) and 10 CFR 

part 110. This specific license 

authorizes the export of source material 

to Germany, the Netherlands, and the 

United Kingdom (U.K.), under the terms 

of an Agreement for Cooperation in 

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (123 

Agreement) between the United States 

(U.S.) and the European Atomic Energy 

Community (EURATOM). 

II 

On December 31, 2020, the formal 

transition period marking the U.K.’s exit 

from the European Union (EU) will end. 

On this date, the U.K. will also exit from 

EURATOM. On January 1, 2021, the 

U.S./U.K.123 Agreement will enter into 

force. At that time, TLI’s export license 

XSOU8839/01 will authorize exports to 

Germany and the Netherlands under the 

legal framework of the U.S./EURATOM 

123 agreement and will authorize 

exports to the U.K. under the legal 

framework of the U.S./U.K. 123 

Agreement. After the U.K. exits 

EURATOM, the NRC is prohibited from 

authorizing any exports of EURATOMobligated material from the U.S. to the 

U.K. until EURATOM, pursuant to the 

U.S./EURATOM 123 agreement, 

provides its pre-approval to retransfer 

EURATOM-obligated material from the 

U.S. to the U.K. The NRC is likewise 

prohibited from authorizing any exports 

of Canadian-obligated material from the 

U.S. to the U.K. until the Government of 

Canada, pursuant to the U.S./Canada 

123 Agreement, provides its preapproval to retransfer Canadianobligated material to the U.K. 

The United States Government has 

already made arrangements with the 

Government of the U.K. for the 

transition from the U.S./EURATOM 123 

Agreement to the U.S./U.K. 123 

Agreement to automatically occur on 

January 1, 2021, for all NRC-approved 

export licenses to the U.K. However, the 

U.S. Government cannot authorize the 

export of EURATOM-obligated or 

Canadian-obligated material from the 

U.S. to the U.K. without pre-approval 

for retransfer from EURATOM or the 

Canadian government, respectively. 

Therefore, beginning on January 1, 2021, 

TLI will no longer be authorized to 

export EURATOM-obligated and 

Canadian-obligated material to the U.K. 

under license XSOU8839/01 until such 

prior approval is received. 

III 

Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 62, 

64, 123, 127, 161b, 161i, 183, and 186 

of the AEA, and 10 CFR 110.50(a)(1) and 

(2) and 110.52, it is hereby ordered, 

effective January 1, 2021, that license 

XSOU8839/01 is modified as follows: 

A. The licensee’s authorization to 

export EURATOM-obligated material to 

the U.K. is suspended, and such exports 

are prohibited, until the licensee 

receives notice from the NRC that the 

United States Government has obtained 

EURATOM’s pre-approval, pursuant to 

the U.S./EURATOM 123 Agreement, to 

retransfer EURATOM-obligated material 

to the U.K. When the licensee receives 

such notice from the NRC, this 

provision of the Order will expire 

without any further action by the NRC. 

B. The licensee’s authorization to 

export Canadian-obligated material to 

the U.K. is suspended, and such exports 

are prohibited, until the licensee 

receives notice from the NRC that the 

United States Government has obtained 

Canada’s pre-approval, pursuant to the 

U.S./Canada 123 Agreement, to 

retransfer Canadian-obligated material 

to the U.K. When the licensee receives 

such notice from the NRC, this 

provision of the Order will expire 

without any further action by the NRC. 

The NRC finds that this action is 

required by operation of law and the 

common defense and security. 

Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR 

110.52(c), the licensee need not be 

afforded an opportunity to reply and be 

heard prior to issuance of this Order. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 17th day 

of December 2020. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
