Having a mutual interest in a continuing exchange of information pertaining to regulatory 

matters and of standards required or recommended by their organizations for the regulation of 

safety, security, and environmental impact of nuclear facilities, and 

Considering the Agreement for cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy 

between the European Atomic Energy Community and the United States of America, done in 

Brussels on 7 November 1995, 

Have agreed as follows: 
I. 	 SCOPE OF THE ARRANGEMENT 

A 	 Technical Information Exchange 

To the extent that the Parties are permitted to do so under the laws, regulations, 

and policy directives of their respective countries, they shall exchange the 

following types of unclassified technical information relating to the regulation of 

nuclear safety, security, radioactive waste management, radiological safety, and 

environmental impact of designated nuclear energy facilities and to nuclear 

safety research programs: 

1. 	 Topical reports concerning safety, security, radioactive waste 

management, radiological safety, and environmental effects written by or 

for one of the Parties as a basis for, or in support of, regulatory decisions 

and policies. 

2. 	 Documents relating to significant licensing actions and safety and 

environmental decisions affecting nuclear facilities. 

3. 	 Detailed documents describing the USNRC process for licensing and 

regulating certain U.S. facilities designated by SNSA as similar to certain 

facilities being built or planned in Slovenia and equivalent documents on 

such facilities regulated by SNSA. 

4. 	 Information in the field of reactor safety research that the Parties have the 

right to disclose, either in the possession of one of the Parties or available 

to it, including light water reactor safety information from the technical 

areas described in Addenda "A" and "B," attached hereto and made 

integral parts of this Arrangement. Cooperation in these itemized 

research areas may require a separate agreement, as determined to be 

necessary by the research organizations of one or both of the Parties. 

Each Party shall transmit immediately to the other information concerning 

research results that requires early attention in the interest of public 

safety, along with an indication of significant implications. 

5. 	 Reports on operating experience, such as reports on nuclear incidents, 

accidents and shutdowns, and compilations of historical reliability data on 

components and systems. 

6. 	 Regulatory procedures for nuclear safety, security, radioactive waste 

management, radiological safety, and environmental impact evaluation of 

nuclear facilities. 

7. 	 Early advice of important events, such as serious operating incidents, 

government-directed reactor shutdowns, and emerging technical issues, 

that are of immediate interest to the Parties. 
8. 	 Cooperation in Nuclear Safety Research 

The terms of cooperation for joint programs and projects of nuclear safety 

research and development, or those programs and projects under which 

activities are divided between the two Parties, including the use of test facilities 

and/or computer programs owned by either Party, shall be considered on a caseby-case basis and may be the subject of a separate agreement, if determined to 

be necessary by the research organizations of one or both of the Parties. When 

not the subject of a separate agreement, the terms of cooperation may be 

established by an exchange of letters between the Parties or the research 

organizations, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this 

Arrangement. Technical areas specified by such exchanges of letters may be 

modified subsequently by mutual consent. 

C. 	 Training and Assignments 

Within the limits of available resources and subject to the availability of 

appropriated funds, the USNRC shall cooperate with SNSA in providing certain 

training and experience for SNSA safety and security personnel. In addition, 

temporary assignments of personnel by one Party in the other Party's Agency 

shall also be considered on a case-by-case basis and shall, in general, require a 

separate agreement between the Parties or the research organizations. Unless 

otherwise agreed, costs of salary, allowances, and travel of participants shall be 

paid by the Party that incurs them. The following are typical of, but not 

necessarily exclusive of, the kinds of training and experience that may be 

provided: 

1. 	 SNSA designated inspector accompaniment of USNRC inspectors on 

reactor operation and reactor construction inspection visits in the United 

States, including extended briefings at USNRC regional inspection 

offices. 

2. 	 Participation by SNSA employees in USNRC staff training courses. 

3. 	 Assignment of SNSA experts for certain periods to be determined by the 

Parties within the USN RC staff to work on USNRC staff duties and gain 

on-the-job experience. 

4. 	 Training assignments of SNSA employees within the radiation control 

program in the United States. 

D. 	 Cooperation During Nuclear Emergencies 

In case of a significant nuclear incident or accident in Slovenia involving a U.S.­

supplied nuclear power plant, within the limits of its legislative authority and 

available resources, the NRG will try to provide technical advice and assistance to 

the SNSA at its request. The type and extent of such NRG advice and assistance 

will be determined by the NRG and the SNSA on a case-by-case basis. Unless 

otherwise agreed, however, all NRG costs for providing specific advice and 

assistance to the SNSA under this Paragraph will be borne by the SNSA. 
11. 	 ADMINISTRATION 

A 	 The exchange of information under this Arrangement shall be accomplished 

through letters, reports, and other documents, and by visits and meetings 

arranged in advance on a case-by-case basis. Periodic meetings shall be held at 

such times as mutually agreed to review the exchange of information and 

cooperation under this Arrangement, to recommend revisions to the provisions of 

this Arrangement, and to discuss topics coming within the scope of the 

cooperation. The time, place, and agenda for such meetings shall be agreed 

upon in advance. Visits which take place under this Arrangement, including their 

schedules, shall have the prior approval of the administrators referred to in 

paragraph 11.B. 

B. 	 An administrator shall be designated by each Party to coordinate its participation 

in the overall exchange under this Arrangement. The administrators shall be the 

recipients of all documents transmitted under the exchange, including copies of 

all letters unless otherwise agreed. Within the terms of the exchange, the 

administrators shall be responsible for developing the scope of the exchange, 

including agreement on the designation of the nuclear energy facilities subject to 

the exchange, and on specific documents and standards to be exchanged. One 

or more technical coordinators may be appointed as direct contacts for specific 

disciplinary areas. These technical coordinators shall ensure that both 

administrators receive copies of all transmittals. These detailed arrangements 

are intended to ensure, among other things, that a reasonably balanced 

exchange giving access to equivalent available information is achieved and 

maintained. 

C. 	 The administrators shall determine the number of copies to be provided of the 

documents exchanged. Each document shall be accompanied by an abstract in 

English, 250 words or less, describing its scope and content. 

D. 	 The application or use of any information exchanged or transferred between the 

Parties under this Arrangement shall be the responsibility of the receiving Party, 

and the transmitting Party does not warrant the suitability of such information for 

any particular use or application. 

E. 	 Recognizing that some information of the type covered in this Arrangement is not 

available within the agencies that are Parties to this Arrangement, but is available 

from other agencies of the governments of the Parties, each Party shall assist 

the other to the maximum extent possible by organizing visits and directing 

inquiries concerning such information to appropriate agencies of the government 

concerned. The foregoing shall not constitute a commitment of other agencies to 

furnish such information or to receive such visitors. 
Ill. 	 EXCHANGE AND USE OF INFORMATION 

A. 	 General

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ANNEX 


I. General Obligation 

The Parties shall ensure adequate and effective protection of intellectual property created or 

furnished under this Arrangement and relevant implementing arrangements. Rights to such 

intellectual property shall be allocated as provided in this Annex. 

II.Scope 

A. This Annex is applicable to all cooperative activities undertaken pursuant to this 

Arrangement, except as otherwise specifically agreed by the Parties or their designees. 

8. For purposes of this Arrangement, "intellectual property" shall mean the subject matter listed 

in Article 2 of the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization, done at 

Stockholm, July 14, 1967 and may include other subject matter as agreed by the Parties. 

C. Each Party shall ensure, through contracts or other legal means with its own participants, if 

necessary, that the other Party can obtain the rights to intellectual property allocated in 

accordance with this Annex. This Annex does not otherwise alter or prejudice the allocation 

between a Party and its participants, which shall be determined by that Party's laws and 

practices. 

D. Except as otherwise provided in this Arrangement, disputes concerning intellectual property 

arising under this Arrangement shall be resolved through discussions between the concerned 

participating institutions, or, if necessary, the Parties or their designees. Upon mutual 

agreement of the Parties, a dispute shall be submitted to an arbitral tribunal for binding 

arbitration in accordance with the applicable rules of international law. Unless the Parties or 

their designees agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration rules of the United Nations 

Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) shall govern. 

E. Termination or expiration of this Arrangement shall not affect rights or obligations under this 

Annex. 

Ill. Allocation of Rights 

A. Each Party shall be entitled to a worldwide, non-exclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free license to 

translate, reproduce, and publicly distribute monographs, scientific and technical journal articles, 

reports, and books directly arising from cooperation under this Arrangement. All publicly 

distributed copies of a copyrighted work prepared under this Arrangement shall indicate the 

names of the authors of the work unless an author explicitly declines to be named. 

B. Rights to all forms of intellectual property, other than those rights described in paragraph Ill.A 

above, shall be allocated as follows: 

(1) Prior to participation in cooperative activities under this Arrangement by a visiting 

researcher, the host Party or its designee and the Party or its designee employing or sponsoring 

the visiting researcher may discuss and determine the allocation of rights to any intellectual 

property created by the visiting researcher. Absent such a determination, visiting researchers 

shall receive rights, awards, bonuses and royalties in accordance with the policies of the host 
institution. For purposes of this Arrangement, a visiting researcher is a researcher visiting an 

institution of the other Party (host institution) and engaged in work planned solely by the host 

institution. 

(2) (a) Any intellectual property created by persons employed or sponsored by one Party under 

cooperative activities other than those covered by Paragraph Ill (8)(1) shall be owned by that 

Party. Intellectual property created by persons employed or sponsored by both Parties shall be 

jointly owned by the Parties. In addition, each creator shall be entitled to awards, bonuses and 

royalties in accordance with the policies of the institution employing or sponsoring that creator. 

(b) Unless otherwise agreed in an implementing or other arrangement, each Party shall have 

within its territory a right to exploit and allow others to exploit intellectual property created in the 

course of the cooperative activities. 

(c) The rights of a Party outside its territory shall be determined by mutual agreement 

considering, for example, the relative contributions of the Parties and their participants to the 

cooperative activities, the degree of commitment in obtaining legal protection and licensing of 

the intellectual property and such other factors deemed appropriate. 

(d) Notwithstanding paragraphs lll.B(2)(a) and (b) above, if either Party believes that a particular 

project is likely to lead to or has led to the creation of intellectual property not protected by the 

laws of the other Party, the Parties shall immediately hold discussions to determine the 

allocation of rights to the intellectual property. If an agreement cannot be reached within three 

months of the date of the initiation of the discussions, cooperation on the project in question 

shall be terminated at the request of either Party. Creators of intellectual property shall 

nonetheless be entitled to awards, bonuses and royalties as provided in paragraph lll.B(2)(a). 

(e) For each invention made under any cooperative activity, the Party employing or sponsoring 

the inventor(s} shall disclose the invention promptly to the other Party together with any 

documentation and information necessary to enable the other Party to establish any rights to 

which it may be entitled. Either Party may ask the other Party in writing to delay publication or 

public disclosure of such documentation or information for the purpose of protecting its rights in 

the invention. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the delay shall not exceed a period of six 

months from the date of disclosure by the inventing Party to the other Party. 

IV. Business Confidential Information 

In the event that information identified in a timely fashion as business-confidential is furnished or 

created under this Arrangement, each Party and its participants shall protect such information in 

accordance with applicable laws, regulations, and administrative practices. Information may be 

identified as "business-confidential" if a person having the information may derive an economic 

benefit from it or may obtain a competitive advantage over those who do not have it, and the 

information is not generally known or publicly available from other sources, and the owner has 

not previously made the information available without imposing in a timely manner an obligation 

to keep it confidential.
