WITNESSETH THAT: WHEREAS the Contractor, in reliance upon the Commission's undertaking to deliver for chemical processing the amount of material set forth in Article II hereof, proposes to design, construct and operate a Plant capable of chemically processing irradiated reactor material delivered to the Contractor by the Commission, persons licensed by the Commission, and others; - and WHEREAS the Commission desires to obtain chemical processing services for irradiated reactor material owned by the Government; and WHEREAS the Commission desires that chemical processing services be available to persons licensed by the Commission, and others, at charges and under terms and conditions which are considered by the Commission to be reasonable; and WHEREAS the Commission desires to withdraw from providing for chemical processing services in accordance with the Federal Register Notice of March 12, 1957 (22 F.R. 1591), as amended, to the extent such services are commercially available at charges and under terms and conditions which are considered by the Commission to be reasonable; and WHEREAS the Commission desires to obtain and widely disseminate technical and economic information concerning the chemical processing of irradiated reactor material, the widespread availability of such information being important to the Commission's continuing program of nuclear reactor development; and WHEREAS the Commission is undertaking to deliver for chemical processing the amount of material set forth in Article II hereof in reliance upon the Contractor's undertakings as provided herein; and WHEREAS the Contractor is willing to provide the services specified in this contract for the Commission, persons licensed by the Commission and others; and WHEREAS the Contractor is willing to compile and provide technical and economic information concerning the chemical processing of irradiated reactor material in the Plant, as provided in this contract; and 21-261 0-64- -17 WHEREAS this contract has been negotiated and is executed pursuant to the authority of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows: The following terms, as used in this contract, shall have the following meanings: A. "Act": the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. B. "base charge": the dollar amount per unit of uranium distributed by the Commission (excluding U-233, and mixtures of U-233 and U-235 as defined by the Commission and published in the Federal Register from time to time) in standard form and specification, determined by the Commission and published from time to time in the Federal Register, in effect as of the time any particular event under this contract takes place. C. "blend": to mix uranium with uranium or plutonium with plutonium. D. "byproduct material": any radioactive material (except special nuclear material) yielded in or made radioactive by exposure to the radiation incident to the process of producing or utilizing special nuclear material. E. "chemical processing": all services required for the mechanical and chemical treatment of irradiated reactor material in order to separate and recover the recoverable uranium and plutonium contained therein. F. "Commission": The United States Atomic Energy Commission or any duly authorized representative thereof, including the Contracting Officer except for the purpose of deciding an appeal under Article XLVIII. G. "Commission's price": the dollar amount per unit of (i) U-233, (ii) mixtures of U-233 and U-235 as defined by the Commission and published in the Federal Register from time to time, or (iii) plutonium, which the Commission pays for such material produced by a Commission licensee in a nuclear reactor and delivered to the Commission in standard form and specification, determined by the Commission and published from time to time in the Federal Register, in effect as of the time any particular event under this contract takes place. H. "consumed or consumption": includes (i) the reduction in value of uranium and/or plutonium due to blending or other alteration of the isotopic ratio and (ii) the disposition of such material in such manner that it cannot be economically recovered for further use. I. "Contracting Officer": the person executing this contract on behalf of the Government, including his successors and any duly authorized representative of any such person. 2. |
