SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Article 8.1(C)(i) of the U.S.-Euratom 123
Agreement permits retransfers of the following to third countries: low
enriched uranium, non-nuclear material, equipment, and source material
transferred pursuant to the U.S.-Euratom 123 Agreement or of low
enriched uranium produced through the use of nuclear material or
equipment transferred pursuant to the U.S.-Euratom 123 Agreement, for
nuclear fuel cycle activities other than the production of high
enriched uranium. Paragraph B.2 of the Agreed Minute to the U.S.-
Euratom 123 Agreement requires the United States and Euratom to
exchange lists of third countries to which retransfers pursuant to
Article 8.1(C)(i) of the Agreement may be made (``advance consent
lists''). To be eligible for inclusion on the advance consent lists,
third countries must have made effective non-proliferation commitments
and, for countries on the U.S. advance consent list, must be a party to
a civil nuclear cooperation agreement with the United States. Such
agreements are entered into under the authority of section 123 of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (``123 Agreement''). Paragraph
B.4 of the Agreed Minute provides that either the United States or
Euratom may delete third countries from its lists following
consultations with the other Party.
The Agreement for Cooperation between the Government of the United
States of America and the Government of the Arab Republic of Egypt
Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy (with annex and agreed
minute), signed at Washington June 29, 1981, expired December 29, 2021.
The Agreement for Cooperation between the United States of America and
the Republic of South Africa Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear
Energy, done at Pretoria August 25, 1995, entered into force December
4, 1997, expired December 4, 2022. In the absence of 123 agreements
with Egypt and South Africa, these countries are being deleted from the
advance consent list of countries eligible to receive retransfers from
Euratom of low enriched uranium, non-nuclear material, equipment, and
source material transferred, and low enriched uranium produced through
the use of nuclear material or equipment transferred for nuclear fuel
cycle activities other than the production of high enriched uranium.
