The primary objective of the negotiations was to agree on a legal framework which would guarantee to the European nuclear industry, whenever it operates with US-obligated materials,
security of supply, stability and long-term predictability. The Commission considers that these objectives have been attained, since the new agreement, which will remain in force for at least 30 years, followed possibly by subsequent 5-year roll-over periods, guarantees the following framework as long as it remains in force: 1. Any non-sensitive nuclear activities, as well as en
richment up to 20%, irradiation ...[+++] of fissile materials and post-irradiation examination involving chemical dissolution or separation of irradiated nuclear material will be freely and unconditionally allowed. 2. Retransfers to third countries will be authorised on a long-term basis according to procedures set out in the agreement. 3. Storage of sensitive fissile material will be possible in any facility that meets the usual physical protection levels. 4. Reprocessing and alteration in form of content of sensitive fissile materials will take place under a generic programmatic consent, in facilities forming part of the list of nuclear facilities ("peaceful programme") delineated by each party.1. toute activité nucléaire non sensible, de même que toute opération d'enrichissement à concurr

s seront autorisées gratuitement et sans condition; 2. les retransferts à destination de pays tiers seront autorisés suivant les procédures fixées dans l'accord; 3. le stockage de matières fissiles sensibles sera possible dans toute installation conforme aux normes courante
