The proposed action is a new Agreement for Cooperation with Japan concerning the peaceful uses of nuclear energy pursuant to Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act. as amended (AEA)l/, and an associated ``subsequent arrangement`` pursuant to Section 131 of the AEA. Together these actions will provide the framework for the return from EURATOM to Japan of plutonium recovered from spent fuel reprocessed for Japan in France or the United Kingdom. This Environmental Assessment has been prepared to assess the potential environmental impacts of air shipments of plutonium without a refueling stop in US territory under the proposed new agreement with Japan and associated subsequent arrangement with EURATOM. Where applicable, it also considers, indirectly, the likely environmental effects of such shipments on the global commons. This assessment includes a discussions prepared by the Department of State, of the political and policy setting in which the new US-Japanese Agreement for Cooperation has been negotiated, the quantities of plutonium that could be shipped, the likely number of shipments that would be involved in a given period, the nature of the conditions that will have to be met before any such air shipments will be approved by the United States and the alternatives to authorizing air shipments of the subject plutonium from EURATOM back to Japan including their environmental implications.
