BILATERAL AGREEMENT PROGRAM (continued ) amount of fuel to be provided to 40 kilograms, whereas the other three agreements allow fuel up to 500 kilograms of -235 for the ten-year life of the the agreement. Theee are, therefore, for power demonstration programs rather than for the support cP power renter: A significant new provision in the Australian, Swiss, and Dutch agreements permits up to 6 kilograms of the 500 to be enriched up to 90 percent for use in the materials testing reactor. In the case of the Belgian agreement, it has been agreed to allow them 8 kilo- grams (apparently for political reasons in order to demonstrate the preferred position of Belgium). All agreements require reprocessing of spent fuel elements in the United States or in facilities designated by the United States. Recent developments in Europe have been the negotiations among six coal and steel community regions; Selgium, Luxemberg, The Nether- lands, France, Italy, and Germany. DR. BUGHER asked if subcritical assemblies could be made available under the existing program. DR. VANDER WEYDEN answered that they could under existing policies Another question by DR. BUGHER was the manner in which a foreign university could initiate a request for a reactor. MR. TREVITHICK explained that the university should make its proposal to the Atomic Energy organization existing in its own country, if one in fact did exist. If not, arrangements should be made through diplomatic channels since the AEC would accept such a request only from a foreign government but not from the university itself. DR. GLASS asked the criterion for defining a foreign government as a friendly one. MR. TREVITHICK stated that, in general, any country not within the “Iron Curtain" could be considered friendly. DR. GLASS also asked if there were any comparable agreements between the USSR and any other country or satellite to which MR. TREVITHICK answered that the USSR had bilateral agreements with some of its satellites; including, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and Yugoslavia. MR. VANDER WEYDEN pointed out that in all the peaceful uses of the atom, the Biology and Medicine programs have been among the first advances and still are the means by which opportunity and promise can be offered. This view was endorsed and emphasized by DR. WARREN. Admiral Foster and his staff were thanked by DR. WARREN for the informative presentation.
