Out -of-Specification Uranium Inventory Sample Clauses

Out -of-Specification Uranium Inventory. Without any admission of liability, DOE agrees to replace any out-of-specification uranium hexafluoride (up to 9,550 MTU) not meeting ASTM C-787-90 for commercial natural uranium hexafluoride (the “ASTM Specification”) transferred by DOE to USEC on or about June 30, 1993, April 20, 1998, and May 18, 1998 (the “Affected Inventory”) as described in this provision:

Out -of-Specification Uranium Inventory. Without any admission of liability, DOE agrees to replace any out-of-specification uranium hexafluoride (up to 9,550 MTU) not meeting ASTM C-787-90 for commercial natural uranium hexafluoride (the “ASTM Specification”) transferred by DOE to USEC on or about June 30, 1993, April 20, 1998, and May 18, 1998 (the “Affected Inventory”) as described in this provision: (a) In exchange for DOE’s taking title, but not custody (until processing), of DUF6 generated by USEC at the Paducah GDP1 during USEC’s fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and one-half the amount of DUF6 generated during USEC’s fiscal years 2004 and 2005 for a total of up to 23.3 million KgU of DUF6 ( the “Specified DUF6”), USEC agrees to operate, entirely at its cost excluding infrastructure costs (DOE will pay all site infrastructure costs, subject to the availability of appropriations), the Portsmouth Shipping and Transfer (S/T) facilities for fifteen (15) months following the date of execution of this Agreement to remove contaminants from a portion of its Affected Inventory to meet ASTM C-787-90 or produce material acceptable to USEC for use as feed material in its enrichment facility. At the end of each month, USEC will release the United States from any and all liability and claims relating to or arising from DOE’s transfer of the portion of the Affected Inventory equal to the amount processed during the month that meets the ASTM specification or is accepted by USEC, subject to DOE’s taking title to the DUF6 as described above. At the end of the 15-month period, USEC agrees to have released, regardless of the actual amount processed, a minimum of 2800 MTU. Such releases shall first relate to the May 18, 1998 transfer, and continue to relate next to the April 20, 1998 transfer, and then the June 30, 1993 transfer. As USEC operates the S/T facility to remove contaminants to meet the referenced ASTM standard, USEC will provide to DOE monthly reports on the technetium contamination of each cylinder of the Affected Inventory before processing, other available test data after processing and the number of cylinders processed in the S/T facility that meets the ASTM Specification or are accepted by USEC. DOE will document its taking title to the Specified DUF6 upon receipt of USEC’s confirmation of the Specified DUF6 generated 1 The DUF6 shall not exceed the design base criteria contained in Table 1 of the DOE RFP NO. DE-RP05-01OR22717, dated October 31, 2000 Part I, Section C, IV.A. (Attachment 1). USEC will ...
