SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed subsequent arrangement 
concerns the retransfer of 147 grams of U.S.-origin highly enriched 
uranium, containing 130 grams of the isotope U-235 (88 percent 
enrichment) in various forms originally exported under numerous U.S. 
Nuclear Regulatory Commission licenses, from Toshiba Corporation, in 
Tokyo Japan; Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation in

and disposal. Upon transfer to the UK, the proposed 147 grams uranium 
containing 130 grams of the isotope U-235 (88 percent enrichment) will 
be subject to the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of 
Nuclear Energy between the United States of America and the European 
Atomic Energy Community (Euratom).
    Pursuant to the authority in section 131 a. of the Atomic Energy 
Act of 1954, as delegated, I have determined that this proposed 
subsequent arrangement concerning the retransfer of nuclear material of 
U.S. origin will not be inimical to the common defense and security of 
the United States of America.
