In this entry– | ||
“special fissile materials” means plutonium-239, uranium-233, uranium enriched in the isotopes 235 or 233, and any material containing the foregoing; | ||
“uranium enriched in the isotopes 235 or 233” means uranium containing the isotopes 235 or 233, or both, in an amount such that the abundance ratio of the sum of these isotopes to the isotope 238 is more than the ratio of the isotope 235 to the isotope 238 occurring in nature (isotopic ratio 0.72 per cent); | ||
“other fissile materials” means previously separated americium-242m, curium-245 and -247, californium-249 and -251, neptunium-237, isotopes of plutonium other than -239 and any material containing the foregoing; | ||
