ANNEX I

CATEGORY 0 – NUCLEAR MATERIALS, FACILITIES, AND EQUIPMENT

Materials
"Natural uranium" or "depleted uranium" or thorium in the form of metal, alloy, chemical compound or concentrate and any other material containing one or more of the foregoing;

Note: 0C001 does not control the following:
a. Four grammes or less of "natural uranium" or "depleted uranium" when contained in a sensing component in instruments;
b. "Depleted uranium" specially fabricated for the following civil non-nuclear applications:
1. Shielding;
2. Packaging;
3. Ballasts having a mass not greater than 100 kg;
4. Counter-weights having a mass not greater than 100 kg;
c. Alloys containing less than 5 % thorium;
d. Ceramic products containing thorium, which have been manufactured for non-nuclear use.
"Special fissile materials"
Note: 0C002 does not control four "effective grammes" or less when contained in a sensing component in instruments.
Deuterium, heavy water (deuterium oxide) and other compounds of deuterium, and mixtures and solutions containing deuterium, in which the isotopic ratio of deuterium to hydrogen exceeds 1:5 000.
Graphite having a purity level better than 5 parts per million ‘boron equivalent’ and with a density greater than 1,50 g/cm3 for use in a "nuclear reactor", in quantities exceeding 1 kg.
NB: SEE ALSO 1C107.
Note 1: For the purpose of export control, the Secretary of State will determine whether or not the exports of graphite meeting the above specifications are for "nuclear reactor" use. 0C004 does not control graphite having a purity level better than 5 ppm (parts per million) boron equivalent and with a density greater than 1,50 g/cm3 not for use in a "nuclear reactor".
Words in Annex 1 para. 0C004 Note 1 substituted (31.12.2020) by virtue of The Trade etc. in Dual-Use Items and Firearms etc. (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/771), regs. 1, 3(22)(d) (with reg. 5) (as amended by S.I. 2020/1502, regs. 2(3), 10); 2020 c. 1, Sch. 5 para. 1(1)

Note 2: In 0C004, ‘boron equivalent’ (BE) is defined as the sum of BEz for impurities (excluding BEcarbon since carbon is not considered an impurity) including boron, where:
BEZ (ppm) = CF × concentration of element Z in ppm;
and σΒ and σΖ are the thermal neutron capture cross sections (in barns) for naturally occurring boron and element Z respectively; and AB and AZ are the atomic masses of naturally occurring boron and element Z respectively.
Specially prepared compounds or powders for the manufacture of gaseous diffusion barriers, resistant to corrosion by UF6 (e.g. nickel or alloys containing 60 % by weight or more nickel, aluminium oxide and fully fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers), having a purity of 99,9 % by weight or more and a particle size less than 10 μm measured by ASTM B330 standard and a high degree of particle size uniformity.
