§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy what discussions have taken place between his Department and the officials of(a) the Euratom 761W Safeguards Agency and (b)the International Atomic Energy Agency Safeguards Division, on the subject of the fungibility of nuclear materials under safeguards controls.
§ Mr. Michael SpicerThe international requirements covering fungibility of materials are contained in article 20 of the Official Journal of the European Communities, Commission regulation 3227/76 of 19 October 1976. No recent discussions have taken place on these requirements with Euratom. The IAEA is concerned solely with the total amounts of nuclear material not its origin.
