1.   Any person or undertaking setting up or operating an installation for the production, separation, reprocessing, storage or other use of source material or special fissile material shall declare to the Commission the basic technical characteristics of the installation, using the relevant questionnaire shown in Annex I.

For the purpose of the first subparagraph ‘use’ of nuclear materials is taken to include, inter alia: power production in reactors, research in critical or zero energy installations, conversion, fabrication, reprocessing, storage, isotope separation, and ore concentration, as well as treatment or storage of waste.

For ore production, the provisions of Articles 24 and 25 apply.

2.   Each Member State being a party to Additional Protocol 1999/188/Euratom, shall designate a site representative for each site on its territory who shall provide to the Commission a declaration containing a general description of the site, using the questionnaire shown in Annex II.

The declaration shall be submitted within 120 days of the date of entry into force of Additional Protocol 1999/188/Euratom in the Member State concerned and updates shall be submitted by 1 April of each year.

The declaration shall fulfil the requirements of Article 2(a)(iii) of Additional Protocol 1999/188/Euratom and shall be separate from the declaration required pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Article.

3.   While the site representative carries the responsibility for the timely collection of the relevant information and the submission of the general description of the site to the Commission, the responsibility for the correctness and the completeness of the declarations remains with the persons or the undertakings setting up or operating the installation, and for buildings on a site which do not involve nuclear material with the Member State concerned. As far as possible the declarations provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be submitted in electronic form if they are kept in such form by the person or undertaking. If information is sent to the Commission both in electronic and in paper form, the paper form shall prevail.

Article 4

Time-limits

The declaration of the basic technical characteristics of new installations shall be communicated to the Commission in accordance with Article 3(1) at least 200 days before the first consignment of nuclear material is due to be received.

For new installations with an inventory or annual throughput of nuclear material of more than one effective kilogram, all relevant information relating to the owner, operator, purpose, location, type, capacity and expected commissioning date shall be communicated to the Commission at least 200 days before construction begins.

Changes in the basic technical characteristics for which advance notification is not required as specified in the particular safeguard provisions set out in Article 6, shall be communicated to the Commission within 30 days after the modification is complete.

Installations in the territory of States acceding to the European Union shall communicate to the Commission their basic technical characteristics within 30 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation in that State, except for waste treatment or waste storage installations whose basic technical characteristics shall be communicated within 120 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation in that State.

Using the questionnaire in Annex I, existing waste treatment or waste storage installations shall communicate to the Commission the basic technical characteristics of their installation within 120 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

For other existing installations any additional information required by the questionnaire in Annex I shall be supplied within 120 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

| New measurement | NM | Quantity of nuclear material, in one particular batch, accounted for in the nuclear material balance area, being the difference between a newly measured quantity and the quantity formerly accounted for, and which is neither a shipper/receiver difference nor a correction. |
| Balance adjustment | BJ | Quantity of nuclear material accounted for in the material balance area, being the difference between the result of a physical inventory taken by the plant operator for his own purposes (without reporting a physical inventory listing to the Commission) and the book inventory established on the same date. |
| Material unaccounted for | MF | Book adjustment for material unaccounted for. Must be equal to the difference between the ending physical inventory (PE) and the ending book inventory (BA) reported in the material balance report (Annex IV). The original date must be that of the physical inventory taking, while the accounting date must be after the date of the physical inventory taking. |

Explanatory Notes

This form should be used either when the initial request is made for derogation of an installation from the rules governing the form and frequency of notifications, or when nuclear material which may qualify for a derogation is imported from a third country.

Point 13 should be used only in the case of imports, and should state the name and address of the shipper.

A separate request should be submitted for each type of derogation (Article 19(2)).

NB: Under Article 79 of the Treaty, those subject to safeguards requirements shall notify the authorities of the Member State concerned of any communications they make to the Commission pursuant to Article 78 and the first paragraph of Article 79 of the Treaty.

This form, duly completed and signed, must be forwarded to the European Commission, Euratom Safeguards, L-2920 Luxembourg.
