1. Unauthorized disclosure of the information provided below is
prohibited by Section 12C of the Export Administration Act.

legitimacy and reliability of the end-user, Klioinvest Inc., Moscow,
Russia. The company is listed on BIS license application: D368648 as
the ultimate consignee of one (1) cryo-pulse 5 CP5 (LPT9310/XX),

3. On April 7, 2009, Export Control Attach Peter Liston and LES
Natalya Shipitsina conducted the requested post-shipment
verification at the offices of Klioinvest, Inc., 1-st Magistralny
tupik, bld.11, Moscow, Russia. The export control team met with
Valery Fedichkin, General Director, and Alexander Eruslanov, Chief
Executive Officer.


4. As per the instructions in reftel, the end use check was
conducted on Klioinvest, Inc., the purchaser listed in reftel, not
the ultimate end user of the commodity. Therefore, the export
control team was not able to visually inspect the reftel commodity.


5. Valery Fedichkin, General Director of Klioinvest, Inc. told the
export control team that he purchased Klioinvest, Inc. approximately
10 years ago. Fedichkin advised the export control team that is was
easier to purchase a pre-existing company at that time in Russia
than to go through the bureaucratic obstacles within the Russian
system of setting up a new business. Fedichkin stated that
Klioinvest is a closed joint stock company, and it employs
approximately 150 people. Fedichkin told the export control team
that he did create a second company, called Kliogroup.


6. Fedichkin advised the export control team that Klioinvest and
Kliogroup are not end users of the technology they purchase. He
stated that they act as buyers for clients in Russia and the CIS
countries in securing technology, obtaining the necessary import
licenses from the Russian government and facilitating the customs
clearance process.


7. Fedichkin told the export control team that he is very
knowledgeable of the U.S. export laws, and stated that he and his
company imported the first PC from the United States that went into
the Mir Space Station in 1989. He stated that the licensing process
was a logistical nightmare, but a great learning process.


8. Fedichkin told the export control team that the commodity in
reftel was purchased by Klioinvest from Canberra Industries, Inc. in
the U.S. for Canberra Moscow, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canberra
Industries, Inc. Fedichkin stated that Canberra Moscow received the
reftel commodity after customs clearance. Canberra Moscow then
added its own software to the reftel commodity if necessary before
shipping it to the Moscow State University, Department of Nuclear
Reactions, Moscow, Russia. The export control team did not verify
that the reftel commodity is at the Moscow State University,
Department of Nuclear Reactions.


9. Fedichkin stated that he has been doing business with Canberra
Moscow for approximately 10 years. The General Director of the
Canberra Moscow office is Oleg Toritsyn, telephone number:
+7-495-429-6611.


10. Fedichkin also stated that he has been a long time distributor
for the U.S. companies Andrews Corporation and Comscope.


11. The export control team found no indications of impropriety at
Klioinvest and did not find Valery Fedichkin, General Director of
Klioinvest evasive when answering the ECO's questions.


12. Recommendations: Post advises that there is additional
information which was provided by another agency which should be
considered when making a final license determination.
