SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Paragraph 2 of Article 10 of the U.S.-ROK
123 Agreement permits retransfers of the following to areas beyond the
territorial jurisdiction of the receiving party if the United States
and the ROK agree: nuclear material, moderator material, equipment, and
components transferred pursuant to the U.S.-ROK 123 Agreement, and any
special fissionable material produced through the use of any such
nuclear material, moderator material, or equipment. Subsection 1.a. of
Section 3 of the Agreed Minute to the U.S.-ROK 123 Agreement permits
the United States and the ROK to retransfer unirradiated low enriched
uranium, unirradiated source material, equipment, and components
subject to paragraph 2 of Article 10 of the U.S.-ROK 123 Agreement to
third countries or destinations. The United States and ROK exchanged
lists of third countries or destinations for which retransfers of
unirradiated low enriched uranium, unirradiated source material,
equipment, and components subject to paragraph 2 of Article 10 of the
U.S.-ROK 123 Agreement could be made by the other Party (``advance
consent lists''). Subsection 1.a. of Section 3 permits either the
United States or the ROK to delete third countries or destinations from
either list temporarily or permanently following consultations with and
written notice to 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, 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
or destinations eligible to receive retransfers from the ROK of
unirradiated low enriched uranium, unirradiated source material,
equipment, and components subject to
