DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Office of International Regimes and 

Agreements; Proposed Subsequent 

Arrangement 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Subsequent arrangement. 

SUMMARY: This notice has been issued 

under the authority of Section 131 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(42 U.S.C. 2160). The Department is 

providing notice of a proposed 

subsequent arrangement under the 

Agreement for Cooperation Between the 

United States of America and the 

Government of Australia Concerning 

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy and the 

Agreement Between the United States 

and the Argentine Republic Concerning 

Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy. 

This subsequent arrangement 

concerns the retransfer of 10,120.40 kgs 

of tritiated heavy water in 46 stainless 

steel drums from the Australian Nuclear 

Science and Technology Organization 

(ANSTO) in Lucas Heights, Australia to 

NucleoElectrica Argentina SA (NA SA) 

in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The heavy 

water is 99.32% pure and contains 10 

grams of tritium. The material, which is 

currently located at ANSTO, will be 

transferred to the Atuche and Embalse 

nuclear power stations and will be used 

as coolant and moderator material in 

these nuclear power stations operated 

by NA SA. ANSTO originally obtained 

the material from Atomic Energy 

Canada Limited and exchanged this 

material with an equivalent quantity of 

U.S. obligated material. 

In accordance with Section 131 of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

we have determined that this 

subsequent arrangement is not inimical 

to the common defense and security. 

This subsequent arrangement will 

take effect no sooner than fifteen days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. 

Dated: August 10, 2009. 

For the Department of Energy.

Director (Acting), Office of International
