1 “Fissionable isotopes” means the isotopes uranium-233, uranium-235 and Plutonium-23 9.

[2] This paragraph constitutes an interpretation of paragraph 35 of the principal safeguards document.

* [1] This abbreviation means “peaceful nuclear”.

* [2] Subject to the exemptions provided for in paragraph 36 below.

* [3] The word “facility” is used in the sense defined in paragraphs 14 and 15 taken together.

* [4] Equivalent amounts can be determined from the equation in the Appendix. The equivalent amounts of plutonium and uranium-233 are the same as for fully enriched uranium.

* [5] For the purposes of this document “the total possible error in the measurement of the quantity of nuclear material used or produced by the reactor facility” shall mean one standard deviation of the measurement.

* [6] Annual usage is the equivalent yearly throughput or inventory, whichever is larger, and “equivalent” is used in the sense in which it is used in paragraph 32 above and in the Appendix.

* [7] Examples of the application of the principle illustrated in the above table are given in the following table; they are calculated on the basis of typical operating conditions at the reactor facility:
