During the negotiation of the Agreement for Cooperation between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Concerning Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy ("the Agreement") signed today, the following understandings, which shall be an integral part of the Agreement, were reached.

1. Coverage of Agreement

a. Material, equipment and components transferred from the territory of one Party to the territory of the other Party, whether directly or through a third country, shall be regarded as having been transferred pursuant to the Agreement only upon confirmation, by the appropriate government authority of the recipient Party to the appropriate government authority of the supplier Party, that such material, equipment or components shall be subject to the Agreement.

b. With respect to the definition of "Restricted Data" in subparagraph (R) of Article I of the Agreement, it is the understanding of the Parties that all information on the use of special fissionable material in the production of energy from standard civilian reactors has been declassified or removed from the category of"Restricted Data."

c. For the purposes of implementing the rights specified in Article 5 and Article 6 of the Agreement with respect to special fissionable material produced through the use of nuclear material transferred pursuant to the Agreement and not used in or produced through the use of equipment transferred pursuant to the Agreement, such rights shall in practice be applied to that proportion of special fissionable material produced that represents the ratio of transferred material used in the production of the special fissionable material to the total amount of material so used, and similarly for subsequent generations.

d. Material, nuclear material, equipment and components subject to this Agreement shall no longer be subject to this Agreement if:

(I) Such items have been transferred beyond the territory of the receiving Party in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement and are no longer under its jurisdiction or control anywhere;

(2) In the case of nuclear material, if the Parties agree, taking into account among other factors an IAEA determination, if any, in accordance with the provisions for the termination of safeguards in the relevant agreement referred to in paragraphs 2

- 14-

Page 18: ATOMIC ENERGY Peaceful Uses...TREATIES AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL ACTS SERIES 14-1003 _____ ATOMIC ENERGY Peaceful Uses NOTE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE Pursuant to Public Law 89—497,

or 3 of Article 9, whichever is applicable, that the nuclear material is no longer usable for any nuclear activity relevant from the point of view of safeguards; or

(3) In the case of material (other than nuclear material), equipment and components, it is agreed by the Parties.

2. Safeguards

a. If either Party becomes aware of circumstances referred to in paragraph 4 of Article 9 of the Agreement, either Party (hereinafter "the safeguarding Party") shall have the rights listed below, which rights shall be suspended if both Parties agree that the need to exercise such rights is being satisfied by the application of IAEA safeguards under arrangements pursuant to paragraph 4 of Article 9 of the Agreement:

(1) To review in a timely fashion the design of any equipment transferred pursuant to the Agreement, or of any facility that is to use, fabricate, process, or store any material so transferred or any special fissionable material used in or produced through the use of such material or equipment;

(2) To require the maintenance and production of records and of relevant reports for the purpose of assisting in ensuring accountability for material transferred pursuant to the Agreement and any source material or special fissionable material used in or produced through the use of any material, equipment or components so transferred; and

(3) To designate personnel acceptable to the other Party (hereinafter "the safeguarded Party"), who shall have access to all places and data necessary to account for the material referred to in paragraph 2, to inspect any equipment or facility referred to in paragraph 1, and to install any devices and make such independent measurements as may be deemed necessary to account for such material. The safeguarded Party shall not unreasonably withhold its acceptance of personnel designated by the safeguarding Party under this paragraph. Such personnel shall, if either Party so requests, be accompanied by personnel designated by the safeguarded Party.

b. The simultaneous application of safeguards with respect to one Party by the IAEA and by the other Party is not intended.

c. Upon the request of either Party, the other Party will authorize the IAEA to make available to the Government of the requesting Party information on the implementation of the applicable safeguards agreement with the IAEA within the scope of cooperation under this Agreement.
