--title to special nuclear materials produced from U. S. -supplied

materials.*

As for limitations and controls, the agreements include guarantees not to use transferred items for nuclear weapons or military purposes, to use them for civil purposes, and provisions for safeguards by the United States or the International Atomic Energy Agency. Table III lists the major provisions of three typical agreements, one with Portugal for research and power, one with Indonesia for research only, and one with the United Kingdom for power only. A detailed identification of provisions of agreements

* Congress in writing the Atomic Energy Act of 1946 and the revision in 1954 defined three categories of nuclear materials affected by the legislation. The categories are source materials, special nuclear materials and by product materials which are defined as follows in the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 as amended:

"The term 'source material' means (1) uranium, thorium, or any other material which is determined by the Commission to be source material; or(2) ores containing one or more of the foregoing materials, in such concentration as the Commission may by regulation determine from time to time.

"The term 'special nuclear material' means (1) plutonium, uranium enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235, and any other material which the Commission determines to be special nuclear material, but does not include source material; or (2) any material artificially enriched by any of the foregoing, but does not include source material. "The term 'byproduct material' means any radioactive material (except special nuclear material) yielded in or made radioactive by exposure to the radiation incident to the process of producing or utilizing special nuclear material.

Note that under the first two definitions, the Commission (now the Energy Research and Development Administration) can add other items to these categories.

for cooperation appears in Appendix I and a side-by-side comparison of the texts of provisions from typical agreements appears in Appendix II. Contents of research and power agreements

The agreements for cooperation for nuclear research and power are the most comprehensive type in scope and content. They call for cooperation in achievement of uses of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, a term which is not defined. As shown in Table IV, the agreements all include definitions; exchange of information; access to

sections dealing with: facilities; transfer of materials, devices, equipment, and special nuclear materials; transactions between persons and organizations; reprocessing of nuclear fuel materials supplied by the United States after irradiation in the agreement nation; disposition of special nuclear materials produced in U.S. supplied materials; guarantees not to use the transferred items for nuclear weapons or military purposes; a commitment to use transferred items for civil purposes; and safeguards rights for the United States and IAEA safeguards. A few agreements provide for conversion or fabrication services involving U. S. supplied special nuclear materials.

Variations occur among provisions for materials to be transferred, conditions of transfer, supply of enriched uranium and enrichment services, limitations upon amounts of nuclear fuel materials to be transferred, reprocessing of U.S. supplied special nuclear materials after they have been irradiated, and disposition of additional special nuclear materials produced by such irradiation.

Provision for transfer of SNM or related services provided that arrangements involving persons under the jurisdiction of the recipient nation will not be undertaken

until the U.S. Government is notified by the recipient nation that these persons may undertake the necessary arrangements.

Private individuals and organizations in either nation may deal directly with private individuals in the other nations for transfers of materials, equipment and devices and services related thereto.
