DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Proposed Subsequent Arrangement

AGENCY: Office of Nonproliferation and International Security, 
Department of Energy.

ACTION: Proposed subsequent arrangement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document is being issued under the authority of the 
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. The Department is providing 
notice of a proposed subsequent arrangement to be carried out in the 
Republic of Korea under the Agreement for Cooperation between the 
Government of the United States of America and the Government of the 
Republic of Korea Concerning Civil Uses of Atomic Energy, signed 
November 24, 1972, as amended (the ``Agreement'').

DATES: This subsequent arrangement will take effect no sooner than June 
9, 2014

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Katie Strangis, Office of 
Nonproliferation and International Security, National Nuclear Security 
Administration, Department of Energy. Telephone: 202-586-8623 or email: 
Katie.Strangis@nnsa.doe.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This subsequent arrangement concerns a 
proposed Joint Determination by the Government of the United States of 
America and the Government of the Republic of Korea pursuant to Article 
VIII(C) of the Agreement, that the provisions of Article XI of the 
Agreement may be effectively applied for the alteration in form or 
content of U.S.-origin nuclear material irradiated in pressurized water 
reactors, CANDU reactors, and a research reactor, at the Post 
Irradiation Examination Facility (PIEF), the Irradiated Material 
Examination Facility (IMEF), the Radio Isotope Production Area (RIPA), 
and the DUPIC Fuel Development Facility (DFDF), along with identified 
analytical laboratories, at the Headquarters of the Korea Atomic Energy 
Research Institute (KAERI), in accordance with the plans contained in 
the documents KAERI/AR-1003/2013, ``Post-Irradiation Examination and 
R&D Programs Using Irradiated Fuels at KAERI,'' dated August 2013, and 
KAERI/AR-1004/2013, ``DUPIC Fuel Fabrication Using Spent PWR Fuel at 
KAERI,'' dated August 2013. These facilities are found acceptable to 
both parties pursuant to Article VIII(C) of the Agreement for the sole 
purpose of alteration in form or content of irradiated U.S.-origin 
nuclear material for post-irradiation examination and for research, 
development and manufacture of DUPIC fuel powders, pellets and elements 
for the period beginning on the date of entry into force of an 
agreement extending the terms of the Agreement beyond March 19, 2014, 
and ending on the earlier of March 19, 2016, or the date of entry into 
force of a successor agreement to the Agreement, unless terminated 
earlier by written agreement of the Parties to the Agreement. Any 
activities additional to the plans or changes in the equipment in these 
facilities will be reviewed by both parties to ensure the general 
consistency with the scope and objectives of the Joint Determination.
    In accordance with section 131a. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 
as amended, it has been determined that this subsequent arrangement 
will not be inimical to the common defense and security of the United 
States of America.

    Dated: May 7, 2014.
    For the Department of Energy.

Deputy Administrator, Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
