ANNEX

1.   STRUCTURE OF THIS DOCUMENT

The guidelines are presented for each chapter of the Regulation, and are further broken down into articles and related annexes where needed.

Given that most potential users of this document (i.e. the accountants of the nuclear installations) are already familiar with nuclear material accountancy and reporting under Commission Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 (1), it was not deemed necessary to cover articles for which no changes are introduced by the Regulation.

On the contrary, for those parts of the Regulation where substantial innovations have been introduced, the guidelines analyse and explain in detail what is expected, and go further in providing examples of reporting.

These detailed explanations and examples will also be of value to the operators of nuclear installations in countries acceding to the European Union.

For some of the explanations, links to Internet addresses are given. These allow the users to get further information on the subject.

The guidelines cannot address all possible issues relating to the application of the new Regulation, and there will very likely be specific questions, which would require further, more detailed discussions between the Commission and the operators concerned.

2.   GUIDELINES PER PART OF THE REGULATION

2.1.   Chapter I — Scope and definitions (Articles 1 and 2)

Article 1 excludes from this Regulation the final holders of end products used for non-nuclear purposes, which incorporate nuclear materials and which are in a practically irrecoverable form.

Examples of end products are: decorative glaze in ceramics, colouring in glass, coating of filaments for fluorescent lamps, pigments for paints, gas mantles, etc.

All other holders of nuclear material shall report under this Regulation.

The definitions of Article 2 will be dealt with, if necessary, at the appropriate parts of these guidelines.

2.2.   Chapter II — BTCs and PSPs (Articles 2 to 6)

2.2.1.   BTCs (Basic technical characteristics) (Article 3.1)

BTCs of existing installations: basically no change to BTCs submitted under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76, except declaration of use, to be done by letter within 120 days of entry into force.

BTCs of installations should reflect the actual status of an installation. They should thus be updated when necessary.

Installations may use the opportunity of the new Regulation's entry into force to update or adjust their BTCs. Small adjustments can be communicated to the Commission by letter, giving a clear reference to the version of the BTCs that is updated.

It is reminded that the Euratom safeguards system recognises the following statuses for an installation, with the corresponding definition:

| — | an active installation: an installation where nuclear material is present and operations are ongoing. This category also includes those installations that are under construction and those that already have an MBA code but have not received any nuclear material, |
| --- | --- |

—

an active installation: an installation where nuclear material is present and operations are ongoing. This category also includes those installations that are under construction and those that already have an MBA code but have not received any nuclear material,

| — | a shutdown installation: an installation where operations have been stopped, but where nuclear material remains at the installation. Shutdown installations are a subset of the active ones. Shutdown installations have the same set of reporting obligations as active installations, |
| --- | --- |

—

a shutdown installation: an installation where operations have been stopped, but where nuclear material remains at the installation. Shutdown installations are a subset of the active ones. Shutdown installations have the same set of reporting obligations as active installations,

| — | a closed-down installation: an installation where operations have stopped, the nuclear material has been removed, the empty state of the installation has been verified by inspections, but has not been decommissioned, |
| --- | --- |

—

a closed-down installation: an installation where operations have stopped, the nuclear material has been removed, the empty state of the installation has been verified by inspections, but has not been decommissioned,

| — | a decommissioned installation: an installation at which residual structures and equipment essential for its operations have been removed or rendered inoperable so that it is not used to store, and can no longer be used to handle, process or utilise nuclear material, |
| --- | --- |

—

a decommissioned installation: an installation at which residual structures and equipment essential for its operations have been removed or rendered inoperable so that it is not used to store, and can no longer be used to handle, process or utilise nuclear material,

| — | individual cases, which cannot easily be categorised, will get a preliminary status indicator ‘S’ until solutions have been worked out. |
| --- | --- |

—

individual cases, which cannot easily be categorised, will get a preliminary status indicator ‘S’ until solutions have been worked out.

Please note that when an installation receives the status ‘closed down’, no more accountancy reports are required under this Regulation. Submission of Annex II may have to continue because a closed-down installation is still part of a site until its decommissioned status has been confirmed. The above is normally stated in a letter to be sent by the Commission to the operator concerned.

BTCs for waste treatment or storage installations (see part 2.5.1 on waste).

2.2.2.   The site declaration (Article 3.2 and 3.3)

2.2.2.1.   Site representative

The state designates the ‘site representative’ and informs the Commission of the names of the ‘site representatives’ of all sites within 30 days after the entry into force of the additional protocol.

The ‘site representative’ is the ‘link’ between the operator(s) of the installation(s) constituting the site and the Commission for the transmission of site information.

Role of the site representative for Annex II is the following (2):

| — | collection of information for all buildings on the site, |
| --- | --- |

—

collection of information for all buildings on the site,

| — | transmission of the site declaration to DG TREN, |
| --- | --- |

—

transmission of the site declaration to DG TREN,

| — | contact point for DG TREN in case of questions. |
| --- | --- |

—

contact point for DG TREN in case of questions.

2.2.2.2.   Format of site declaration

It is recommended to provide the site declaration in electronic form using the CAPE software. Details of using the CAPE software are given in the CAPE ‘Help file’. The CAPE software is available through the Commission.

2.2.2.3.   Content of site declaration under Annex II

The site plays a central role in the expanded declaration under the additional protocol, as it requires the provision of information far beyond the information given in the BTC. The site boundary definition in turn has a direct influence on the Agency's far-reaching complementary access rights, which allow access to every building on a site and in principle every location inside a building with often very short notice of only two hours (only in combination with a routine safeguards inspection at the site). This puts new obligations on building owners.

Sites have, therefore, to be designed carefully. They should be large enough to allow the IAEA to draw the conclusions of the absence of undeclared nuclear material or activities. But in line with the spirit of the additional protocol, there is no reason to include in the site buildings, which do not contribute to the nuclear mission of the site.

What constitutes a site?

The core of a site is always an installation. Several installations can share one site, but a site cannot exist without an installation.

Co-located buildings

| 1. | A pragmatic and reasonable approach for the interpretation of ‘co-located ... for the provision of essential services’ could be to include within the site boundary the buildings in the neighbourhood of a nuclear installation, which are functionally related to the nuclear mission of this site. As a consequence ‘essential services’ can be understood as hot cells, waste treatment, storage and disposal installations, buildings engaged in Annex I of the additional protocol activities, that are needed for the nuclear mission of the site. These are buildings, which in principle could cover up clandestine activities. |

They should be included if they exclusively serve the nuclear core on the site. |

| 3. | The ownership would not be a criterion for exclusion or inclusion of buildings housing essential services. Therefore different operators, owners, companies may exist on one site. The ‘site representative’ would be responsible for the collection of the descriptions of the different buildings and their transmission to DG TREN. |

| 4. | The question what is meant by a ‘building’ should be answered pragmatically. A ‘one-word’ description (e.g. ‘parking shelter’) could be sufficient. Underground buildings, should be declared like all other buildings indicating the surface, number of floors etc. |

Site boundary

| 1. | It may not always be obvious to understand why a certain building is not included in the formal site boundary when it is located in the vicinity of an installation. It may therefore be good practice to supplement the declaration with supporting documentation explaining the functions of those buildings and the reasons why they should not be included in the formal site definition as is foreseen in the IAEA ‘Guidelines’ (3) for reporting under II.12. |

| 2. | Even if it is desirable that a site consists of one coherent area, the functional relationship between the buildings may require that a site consists of two separate areas. In this case it would be good practice to supplement such a declaration by a document detailing the function of the buildings between the separate areas and explaining the reasons why those buildings in the vicinity of a facility are not included in the site. |

| 3. | Buildings declared in the BTC as part of an MBA, i.e. which house or housed a key measurement point, even if they no longer contain nuclear material, are understood to be automatically part of the site. In particular research centres have often kept at least one such MBA, which contains or is licensed to contain small quantities of nuclear materials spread over the centre. Concentrating these materials in one place and modifying the BTC accordingly may simplify the site definition significantly. An inconsistency between the site declaration and the BTC would automatically trigger at least requests for clarification and amplification. |

| 4. | Although the site declaration in line with Annex II to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 (4) requests the description of every building on a site, the guidelines for reporting (see footnote) allow a site to consist of a single room. It is recommended that sites for installations with fuel cycle related activities should not be smaller than a single building, whereas sites for non-nuclear LOFs (5) may be smaller than a single building. |

| 4. | A closed down non-nuclear LOF (NN-LOF) does not therefore constitute a site in itself. It is however not excluded that it may be part of a site that is formed around another installation. A closed-down NN-LOF can be regarded as decommissioned, if it does not include a hot cell. |

2.2.2.5.   Active installations with less than 1 effective kg (LOF).

Introduction

Depending on the use of the nuclear material, LOFs are divided into two categories: nuclear LOFs and non-nuclear LOFs. Nuclear material in non-nuclear LOFs (NN-LOFs) is used for purposes, which are not nuclear fuel cycle related.

In the EU a virtual NN-LOF exists: the catch-all-MBA (CAM) which includes a large number of holders, each holding very small quantities of nuclear material.

Relevance of ‘Exemption’ status under the additional protocol

| 1. | For material held by an MBA to which a derogation has been granted under Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005, exemption under the Safeguards Agreement with the IAEA will be requested. |

Conditions for no ANNEX II reporting:

| — | installations holding only exempted material, |

—

installations holding only exempted material,

| — | decommissioned installations, |

—

| — | closed-down NN-LOFs without hot cell. |
| --- | --- |

—

closed-down NN-LOFs without hot cell.

2.2.3.   Electronic transmission

Further to the requirement for electronic transmission of the BTCs and site declarations, the current practice of keeping under safeguards seal at the installation, information relating to the installation design recognised as being of particular sensitivity, will continue. Means of electronic transmission include e-mail, diskette or a safe network.

2.2.4.   Time limits (Article 4)

A summary of the reporting obligations and their time limits is provided in the table ‘Time limits Who, When, What’ (Chapter 3)

Please note that under specific circumstances, the operator may ask the Commission for an extension of the time limit for submitting the BTCs. The Commission will investigate the circumstances and will communicate its decision to the operator concerned.

2.2.5.   Programme of activities (Article 5 and Annex XI)

The same degree of detail and specificity is demanded, as it is currently the practice with Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76. If during the year there are changes in the programme of activities worth mentioning (e.g. Reactor outage for longer period, no further receipts of material, change in the PIT date), a simple letter to the Commission with a clear reference to the activity programme would suffice.

2.2.6.   Particular safeguard provisions (Article 6) (PSPs)

It is noted that PSPs adopted under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 remain in force as they are.

The changes introduced by Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 will be implemented in the existing PSPs by a global Commission decision, taken under the new Regulation, listing in its Annex, all the amendments to be made to each and every existing PSP, one by one. The principle of consultation of Member States and operators (as provided for in Article 6.1) will be observed by circulating the relevant parts of the global decision in draft form before adoption and in final form after adoption to the operator and Member State concerned. If need be, direct contact and/or meetings with the party concerned will be undertaken.

If no PSPs have been adopted, the general provisions of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 are applicable. Provisions specified in the PSPs take precedence over requirements of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005.

2.3.   Chapter III — Nuclear material accountancy

2.3.1.   Accounting system (Article 7)

The system of accounting and operating records to be maintained by the operators under this Regulation is the same as was foreseen in Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

2.3.2.   Operating records (Article 8)

No change to the current practice concerning operating records is envisaged. Examples of operating records:

| — | results of measurements, |
| --- | --- |

—

results of measurements,

| — | results of analyses, |
| --- | --- |

—

results of analyses,

| — | results of evaluation, |
| --- | --- |

—

results of evaluation,

| — | tank calibration curves, |
| --- | --- |

—

tank calibration curves,

| — | internal transfers, |
| --- | --- |

—

internal transfers,

| — | burn up calculation, |
| --- | --- |

—

burn up calculation,

| — | power history, |
| --- | --- |

—

power history,

| — | packing sheets, |
| --- | --- |

—

packing sheets,

| — | delivery order. |
| --- | --- |

—

delivery order.

All above records should be kept for a period of five years or longer if so specified in the PSPs.

Concerning the quality of the measurements on which the records are based, reference is made to the International Target Values (ITVs) issued under the auspices of the IAEA (document STR-327 of April 2001) with the participation of Euratom and Esarda. The ITVs are intended to be used by plant operators as a reference of the quality of measurements achievable in nuclear material accountancy.

Older plants are also expected to comply with the ITVs.

Under Article 8(b), it is expected that the installations keep a list of inventory items, updated to the best extent possible, and know where these items are. On the basis of this list the book inventory could be determined at any time.

It is understood that, while for item installations (e.g. reactors or storage plants) this list represents the actual physical reality, for the processing areas of bulk handling facilities, this list will be based on the values of the items fed into the process, or on the results of preliminary analyses or measurements. This list will be consolidated and will be made available for the physical inventory verification.

2.3.3.   Accounting records and reports (Articles 9 and 10)

| — | In accordance with the description of the accountancy system detailed in the BTCs, the accounting records have to contain all inventory changes, the appropriate dates, the precise quantities accounted for internally by the operator, as well as the category, obligation and type of inventory changes to enable the book inventory of the operator to be established at any time. |

| — | If the inventory is static or undergoes less than 10 variations per year, operators may apply for derogation from electronic transmission of their reports. |

—

If the inventory is static or undergoes less than 10 variations per year, operators may apply for derogation from electronic transmission of their reports.

| — | If the additional information requested by the Commission (Article 10) requires complex queries, a preliminary answer should be sent within three weeks. |
| --- | --- |

—

If the additional information requested by the Commission (Article 10) requires complex queries, a preliminary answer should be sent within three weeks.

2.3.4.   Inventory change report (ICR), material balance report (MBR), physical inventory listing (PIL) (Article 12 and 13)

In these articles, days mean calendar days.

| — | The frequency of transmission of the ICR to the Commission, specified in the PSPs of an installation, may be different from the monthly frequency stipulated in this article. For example, for installations with no, or a limited number of inventory changes, the frequency may be changed to quarterly or yearly. |

The frequency of transmission of the ICR to the Commission, specified in the PSPs of an installation, may be different from the monthly frequency stipulated in this article. For example, for installations with no, or a limited number of inventory changes, the frequency may be changed to quarterly or yearly.

| — | The transmission rules of ICRs linked to PIL and MBR under Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 have been amended to resolve discrepancies with the IAEA. Indeed, there are cases where PIL and MBR reports are sent to Euratom (and subsequently forwarded to Vienna), without the corresponding ICR. |

The transmission rules of ICRs linked to PIL and MBR under Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 have been amended to resolve discrepancies with the IAEA. Indeed, there are cases where PIL and MBR reports are sent to Euratom (and subsequently forwarded to Vienna), without the corresponding ICR.

Thus the material balance period remains open until the ICR arrives. This situation results in error warnings from the IAEA side, which are normally resolved with the arrival of the ICR.

To eliminate this inconsistency, two ICRs are required when the PIT date is not the last day of a month:

| — | the first one from the first day of the month until the PIT date, |
| --- | --- |

—

the first one from the first day of the month until the PIT date,

| — | the second one from the PIT date + 1 day until the end of the month. |
| --- | --- |

—

the second one from the PIT date + 1 day until the end of the month.

The deadlines for transmission for these two ICRs are:

| — | the deadline for the transmission of the second ICR is that specified in Article 12(1) (within 15 days of the end of the month in which the inventory changes occur). |
| --- | --- |

—

the deadline for the transmission of the second ICR is that specified in Article 12(1) (within 15 days of the end of the month in which the inventory changes occur).

| — | the deadline for the transmission of the first ICR depends of the PIT date:


  — | If the PIT date is between the first and the 15th of the month, the PIL and MBR reports have to be transmitted to the Commission at the latest 30 days after the PIT date. That means that those reports always arrive at the Commission before the second ICR. In this case, the first ICR shall be sent together with the MBR and PIL reports to avoid unbalanced accounts. |
| --- | --- | --- |

the deadline for the transmission of the first ICR depends of the PIT date:

That means that those reports always arrive at the Commission before the second ICR. In this case, the first ICR shall be sent together with the MBR and PIL reports to avoid unbalanced accounts.

| — | If the PIT date is between the 16th and the 31st of the month, according to the deadline for the PIL and MBR reports transmission, they can arrive at the Commission either before the second ICR (and the scheme described above is applied), or after the second ICR. In the latter case, the first ICR shall be sent together with the second ICR to guarantee that the second ICR will not arrive before the first one, and avoid inconsistencies in the material balances. |

If the PIT date is between the 16th and the 31st of the month, according to the deadline for the PIL and MBR reports transmission, they can arrive at the Commission either before the second ICR (and the scheme described above is applied), or after the second ICR. In the latter case, the first ICR shall be sent together with the second ICR to guarantee that the second ICR will not arrive before the first one, and avoid inconsistencies in the material balances.

If laid down in the particular safeguard provisions for the installation small inventory changes may be grouped together. Inventory Change Reports may be accompanied by comments explaining the inventory changes.

For example: an operator takes daily a sample of a few grams of nuclear material for routine analysis from MBA1 and sends it to his laboratory situated in MBA2 in the same installation.

Instead of reporting 30 shipments of one item from MBA1 to MBA2 he could report at the end of the month one shipment of 30 items with an explanation in the comment field a ‘monthly sum of transfers for routine analysis’.

| — | Concerning field number 40 of the ICR, ‘Comments’, it may be used to communicate to the Commission additional information or explanations related to the inventory change. This field replaces the field ‘Concise note’ of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76. |

Concerning field number 40 of the ICR, ‘Comments’, it may be used to communicate to the Commission additional information or explanations related to the inventory change. This field replaces the field ‘Concise note’ of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

2.3.5.   Annexes III, IV, V

Arrangements for electronic data transmission and any changes to these arrangements shall be agreed between the Commission and the person, undertaking or entity concerned. These arrangements shall be in accordance with Member State security requirements for the transmission of such information and shall provide for appropriate notification and/or transmission of the information to the authorities of the Member State concerned.

2.3.5.1.   The following applies to all three ‘reporting’ Annexes III, IV and V

Labelled format

Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 introduces the electronic reporting in a worldwide accepted ‘labelled’ format. The Commission expects that operators use, if possible, the XML format.

Accounting reports submitted by the operator in XML will have to use the XML schema in Appendix 1 that can be downloaded as well at the following internet address:

http://forum.europa.eu.int

More information about XML can be found at the following Internet address: http://www.xml.org

Accountancy reports file naming convention

Each report is uniquely identified by the information contained in its header. All the reports of the same MBA or installation may be submitted in a single file. The order of the reports within the file can be random. The file must be named as follows:

XXXXMMYYYY-TC

XXXX: installation code, group code or any other code assigned by Euratom;

MM: accounting month reference;

YYYY: accounting year reference;

T: report type (‘X’ if there are different report types);

C: sequence number of the file when more than one report file per month is sent regardless of the number and type of reports in it (e.g. I1 & I2 for two inventory change reports for the same month, P1, P2, P3 for three PILs for the same month and M1, M2 for two MBRs).

Examples:

(1)   
  MBA XYWZ filename with the 2006 February's ICR

Filename: XYWZ022006-I1

(2)   
  MBA XYWZ having a PIT the last day of February 2006 reporting in a single file ICR, PIL and MBR

Filename: XYWZ022006-X1

(3)   
  MBA XYWZ having a PIT in the middle of February 2006 reporting in a first file the ICR from the first day of the month until the PIT date, PIL and MBR and afterwards in a second file the ICR from the PIT date until the end of February

First file's filename: XYWZ022006-X1

Second file's filename: XYWZ022006-I2

(4)   
  Installation IXYZ first reporting in a first file February's ICRs for two of its MBAs and then in a second file February's ICRs for the other three of its MBAs

First file's filename: IXYZ022006-I1

Second file's filename: IXYZ022006-I2

Transmission of accountancy reports files

The accountancy reporting file(s) can be sent to Euratom by standard mail or by electronic means.

As foreseen in Article 35, an agreement must be reached about the mechanism to grant the security of the information transmission via an encryption and electronic signature of the accountancy reports.

If sent by standard mail the accountancy reporting file(s) have to be sent to the following address:

| European Commission |
| --- |
| Euratom Safeguards |
| L-2920 Luxembourg |

European Commission

Euratom Safeguards

L-2920 Luxembourg

Electronic transmission of accountancy reports files

In case of electronic transmission of the accountancy reports, they should be sent by e-mail to the following address:

Safeguards-reporting@cec.eu.int

The subject of the e-mail providing accountancy reports must have the following structure:

MBA:<XXXX>#Period:<MMYYYY>#Nfiles:<N>

XXXX: installation code, group code or any other code assigned by Euratom;

MM: accounting month reference;

YYYY: accounting year reference;

N: Number of accountancy reporting files attached to the message

Examples:

(5)   
  MBA XYWZ e-mail subject for the dispatch of the 2006 February's ICR

Subject: MBA: XYWZ#Period: 022006#Nfiles: 1

(6)   
  MBA XYWZ having a PIT the last day of February 2006 for the dispatch of a single file with ICR, PIL and MBR

Subject: MBA: XYWZ#Period: 022006#Nfiles: 1

(7)   
  MBA XYWZ having a PIT in the middle of February 2006 for a first dispatch of a single file with the ICR from the first day of the month until the PIT date, PIL and MBR and afterwards a second dispatch of the file with the ICR from the PIT date until the end of February

First subject: MBA: XYWZ#Period: 022006#Nfiles: 1

Second subject: MBA: XYWZ#Period: 022006#Nfiles: 1

(8)   
  Installation IXYZ dispatching together a first file with February's ICRs for two of its MBAs and a second file with February's ICRs for other three of its MBAs

Subject: MBA: XYWZ#Period: 022006#Nfiles: 2

The sender will receive automatic acknowledgement of the receipt from the Euratom reporting mailbox.

Report and line numbering

All the reports will be numbered sequentially (no gaps) per MBA regardless of the type of report. Each line will have its own unique sequential number (no gaps) starting from one in each report.

Example: MBA XYWZ reporting the February's ICR, and having a PIT at the 14 of March

| — | February's ICR will have report number X (i.e.: 25) |
| --- | --- |

—

February's ICR will have report number X (i.e.: 25)

| — | March's ICR from the first day until the PIT date, report number X+1 (i.e.: 26) |
| --- | --- |

—

March's ICR from the first day until the PIT date, report number X+1 (i.e.: 26)

| — | PIL, report number X+2 (i.e.: 27) |
| --- | --- |

—

PIL, report number X+2 (i.e.: 27)

| — | MBR, report number X+3 (i.e.: 28) |
| --- | --- |

—

MBR, report number X+3 (i.e.: 28)

| — | March's ICRs, from the day after the PIT until the end of month, X+4 (i.e.: 29) |
| --- | --- |

—

March's ICRs, from the day after the PIT until the end of month, X+4 (i.e.: 29)

Correction mechanism

Corrections of type ‘D’ and ‘A’ will be reported by reference to the line to be corrected, identified using the previous report and previous line, and the previous CRC (cycling redundancy check digit) fields for data integrity check.

Sign and decimal notation convention

The sign in the weights/items fields must precede the figures.

The decimal point will conventionally be the dot ‘.’.

Data integrity check fields

The fields, line count and CRC have been introduced to ensure the data integrity of the data reported electronically.

A cycling redundancy check digit (CRC) must be provided for each line. It is a checksum calculated on a set of data based on a cyclic redundancy check as described in ISO 3309. The resulting checksum is four (4) octets long and is a digital signature that represents the data on which the checksum is performed. For each line of a report, the CRC is calculated on the string resulting from the joining of all values of all fields in the line, included the ones belonging to the header of the report (report number, line count, etc.) taken in the tag field number order. Of course the CRC field itself will not be taken into account for the computation.

For each field taken into account, the value is considered as a string. For example report number (RepNbr) is a number that will be taken as a string.

For the date field, the format to be used for the CRC calculation is ‘ddmmyyyy’.

The CRC associated to a reported line will allow verifying if the record is transmitted without any alteration of the information.

A sample code in the computer language ‘C’ of the CRC algorithm calculation can be found in Appendix 2 and at the following Internet address:

http://forum.europa.eu.int

Example:

The CRC of the following line:

Data field changes compared to Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76

Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 introduces many changes in the number, type, length and content of the data reported. A detailed analysis of them per reporting annex is given below.

Entries in a time-frame of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 declarations

It may happen that corrections to lines originally declared using Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 need to be reported. In this case:

| — | deletion lines can be reported using Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 format using correction code = ‘D’, no value in the previous report, previous line and previous CRC fields, and having all the other fields filled in accordingly (see examples 1 and 2 on page 27), |
| --- | --- |

—

deletion lines can be reported using Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 format using correction code = ‘D’, no value in the previous report, previous line and previous CRC fields, and having all the other fields filled in accordingly (see examples 1 and 2 on page 27),

| — | addition lines can be reported using Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 format using correction code = ‘A’ and no value in the previous report, previous line and previous CRC fields, |
| --- | --- |

—

addition lines can be reported using Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 format using correction code = ‘A’ and no value in the previous report, previous line and previous CRC fields,

new lines with original date in the time-frame of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 declarations, can be reported using Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 format with correction code = ‘L’.

Please note that once a line has been declared using Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 format (even if it refers to a period when reports were provided using Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 format) it can be deleted using the correction mechanism foreseen in this Regulation.

Deletions of isotopic or concise note lines declared using Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 cannot be done using Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 format.

2.3.5.2.   Annex III — ICR

Main differences from Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76

ICR at PIL date

Attention is drawn to the concept of transmitting two separate inventory change reports — one ICR up to the PIT date — for months in which a physical inventory is taken, and the physical inventory taking date is not the last date of the month. Further details are provided under 2.3.4. in these guidelines.

Example:

Assuming that the PIT has taken place on the 12th of February, then the nuclear operator has to provide to the Commission:

| — | an ICR containing all inventory changes from the first day of February until the 12th of February, |
| --- | --- |

—

an ICR containing all inventory changes from the first day of February until the 12th of February,

| — | a PIL and an MBR (as usual), |
| --- | --- |

—

a PIL and an MBR (as usual),

| — | an ICR containing all inventory changes from the 13th of February until the end of February. |
| --- | --- |

—

an ICR containing all inventory changes from the 13th of February until the end of February.

MF

The operator must declare a MUF using the IC code MF in the ICR following the PIT and make a reference to the PIT period using the PIT date field.

BA per obligation

The BA at the end of the ICR must be declared by category, and obligation. Agreed arrangements for pool accountancy (as normally set out in correspondence and referenced in the relevant PSPs) are however unaffected by this provision. The requirement to report the ending book inventory by obligation does not change the batch follow-up procedures already applied (e.g. in item facilities).

BA versus NC

If no inventory changes have occurred during a reporting period the MBA must declare the BA of the last period, instead of ‘no change’ (NC) under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

ICR data fields changes

The tables below show the labels to be used in ICRs, the circumstances in which they should be used and whether their use is mandatory or optional.

The additional fields of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 can be classified into three categories:

| (1) | the additional information fields that are provided to solve problems when using Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76, such as:


  — | impossibility to identify the MUF and link it to its PIL, |

ICR data content changes

New IC codes have been introduced in order to make clearer the physical operation related to the accounting record.

The introduction of new codes will enable the identification at headquarters of the physical operation which generated the declaration, to analyse and evaluate more easily, by means of computer, the various inventory changes which were declared previously under only one code (e.g. CE, CB and CC instead of CC only for category change).

IC Codes and implicit double lines

Although the inventory change codes CE, CB, CC, RB, BR, PR, SR and CR need a double accountancy line, the Regulation requires one line only. The second line will be generated automatically in the database, based on the data provided in the reported line.

IC Codes and sign convention

The element and isotope weights reported by the operator will by convention be taken as positive or negative contributions to the nuclear materials stocks depending on the IC Code declared. Unless the IC Code allows both signs and, regardless of the sign declared by the operator, the weights will be considered as reported in the table below:

| IC code | Sign |
| --- | --- |
| RD | Positive |
| RF | Positive |
| RN | Positive |

Special provisions applicable when correcting lines originally declared under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

Weight unit weight is by default gram (i.e. weights to be entered in grams, even if originally declared in other units).

The IC Code values allowed are the ones defined in Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

Example: cannot report an addition with a R5 IC Code.

Declaring MUF

An example of the MUF declaration in an ICR is reported below, MAMF being a MBA reporting after having taken a physical inventory on day ‘x’.

Declaring change of category

Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 makes available three different IC codes to declare a change of category: CC, CB and CE.

| IC code | Typical MBA type | Operation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| CC | All | Change of category done ‘by convention’ according to the PSP or as a consequence of a nuclear transformation event. |
| CB | Fuel fabrication plant/reprocessing plant | Change of category as a result of a blending operation. |
| CE | Enrichment plant/reprocessing plant | Change of category as a result of an enrichment operation. |

Declaring R5 isotope adjustment

Usually as a consequence of category changes towards the element D there is an imbalance in the book-stock for the isotope U 235 that is not declared unless otherwise specified in the PSP.

In order to set the book in line with the reality an accounting entry can be made using the IC Code ‘R5’.

An example of the relevant fields of the inventory change declaration is reported below, MAR5 being an MBA that has declared some category change from L to D and a final R5 for the equivalent value of the U235:

Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 makes available four different IC codes to declare a change of obligation, CR, PR, BR and SR, whereas in Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 only the IC code CR was available.

The examples reported below would have been all declared using the IC code CR.

An example of the relevant fields of the inventory change declaration is reported below, MAPR being an MBA that has received material that i.e. wants to enter in an obligation pool.

Declaring nuclear production and nuclear loss (NP, NL)

An example of the relevant fields of the inventory change declaration is reported below, MNPL being a reactor MBA with PSPs providing that when fuel assemblies discharged from the reactor are returned to the core, the values for nuclear production and nuclear loss shall be recorded with opposite signs to restore the shipper's data for the fuel (This example explains why the sign has to be associated with IC codes NL and NP.)

2.3.5.3.   Annex IV - MBR

Main differences from Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76

MBR per obligation

The MBR must be drawn up by category, and obligation. Agreed arrangements for pool accountancy (as normally set out in correspondence and referenced in the relevant PSPs) are however unaffected by this provision. The requirement to report the ending book inventory by obligation does not change the batch follow-up procedures already applied (e.g. in item facilities).

Special provisions applicable when correcting lines originally declared under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

Weight unit weight is by default gram (i.e. weights to be entered in grams, even if originally declared in other units).

The IC Codes values allowed are the ones defined in Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

Example: cannot report an addition with the IC code R5.

Special provisions applicable when correcting lines originally declared under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76

Weight unit weight is by default gram (i.e. weights to be entered in grams, even if originally declared in other units).

2.3.6.   Particular safeguard obligations (Article 17)

The identification of the particular safeguard obligation in the notifications 17.1(a) to 17.1(d) should follow the Euratom obligation codes, as notified to the operators and updated by a circular letter. The last circular letter with reference E/31/921 was sent to all operators on 24 June 1998.

Agreements between Euratom and operators (normally by exchange of correspondence) concerning the operation at the installation(s) of a specific pool accountancy system, remain unaffected by this Regulation. At the demand of an operator or the Commission the possibility of introducing a new pool or altering the rules of a pool accountancy system could be discussed.

2.3.7.   Derogations

2.3.7.1.   General comment

Article 19 is mainly addressed to the installations using nuclear material, which is in a recoverable form and used exclusively in non-nuclear activities.

The Commission may nevertheless also grant, through the Particular Safeguard provisions, derogation in the reporting rules to shut down installations holding material that could qualify for derogation.

Derogation - Article 19 of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 and exemption - Articles 36 and 37 of INFCIRC 193

Derogation and exemption are two different mechanisms.

Derogations are granted by the Commission and aim to lighten some reporting rules provided for in the Regulation.

On the other hand, exemptions are granted by the IAEA and aim to exempt nuclear material from safeguards under the Safeguards Agreement (INFCIRC-193). The procedure for requesting an IAEA exemption is set out in INFCIRC-193.

At the request of the Community, the IAEA may exempt nuclear material from safeguards. The exemption is granted on the basis of the use of the material (Article 36 of INFCIRC-193) or on the basis of its quantity (Article 37 of INFCIRC-193). As this material is normally not used in nuclear fuel cycle related activities or as the amount of material is small, the relevance for IAEA safeguards is negligible.

Exemptions are also relevant to the implementation of the Commission Regulation due to the fact that where the nuclear material in a location outside facility (LOF) has been exempted in line with Article 36 or 37 of the Safeguards Agreement, this LOF would no longer constitute the core of a site. Therefore no reporting would be necessary under Annex II of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005.

In the following table a comparison of exemption under INFCIRC-193 and derogation under Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 is presented.

| Exemption of INFCIRC 193 | Derogation of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 |
| --- | --- |
| Exemption from IAEA safeguards means that no classical safeguards measures, including inspections, are applied on the material | Derogation means a simplification for the operator of the rule governing the format and the frequency of reporting as set out in Articles 10 to 18.
  The nuclear material remains under Euratom safeguards, and is subject to control. |
| Nuclear material, which could qualify for exemption based on use (Article 36 of the Safeguards Agreement) is:


  (a) | special fissionable material, when it is used in gram quantities or less as a sensing components in instruments; |

Exemption of INFCIRC 193

Derogation of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005

Exemption from IAEA safeguards means that no classical safeguards measures, including inspections, are applied on the material

Derogation means a simplification for the operator of the rule governing the format and the frequency of reporting as set out in Articles 10 to 18.

The nuclear material remains under Euratom safeguards, and is subject to control.

Nuclear material, which could qualify for exemption based on use (Article 36 of the Safeguards Agreement) is:

(a)

special fissionable material, when it is used in gram quantities or less as a sensing components in instruments;

| (b) | recoverable nuclear material when used in non-nuclear activities; and |
| --- | --- |

(b)

recoverable nuclear material when used in non-nuclear activities; and

| (c) | plutonium with an isotopic concentration of plutonium 238 exceeding 80 %. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

plutonium with an isotopic concentration of plutonium 238 exceeding 80 %.

MBA holding only exempted nuclear material will upon request be granted derogation.

Nevertheless the Commission may also grant derogation to MBAs that deal with material not eligible for exemption from IAEA safeguards. In that case, derogation from reporting will be granted in such a way that the provisions of IAEA safeguards are respected (inspections, reporting to IAEA).

Nuclear material may be exempted from IAEA safeguards up to the quantities specified in Article 37 of the Safeguards Agreement.

Derogation may be granted to MBAs holding quantities of nuclear material commensurate with those specified in Annex I-G but are kept in the same state for a long period.

In that case, derogation will be granted in such a way that the provisions of IAEA safeguards are respected (inspections, reporting to IAEA).

The exemption remains valid as long as the nuclear material is not permanently transferred to another location. Permanent transfers have to be reported to the Safeguards authorities, via the de-exemption mechanism.

The annual report foreseen in the derogation procedure allows:

keeping the knowledge of the quantities and the location of exempted nuclear material from IAEA safeguards and

preparing reports according to Article 2a(vii) of the addition protocol (AP) of the Agreement, when relevant.

CAM

There is a type of installation, called a CAM (Catch all MBA), which will be granted an automatic derogation under the new Regulation. This includes those small holders whose inventory of nuclear material is lower than or equal to those defined in the Annex I-G to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005:

| Depleted uranium | 350 000 g or |
| --- | --- |
| Thorium | 200 000 g or |
| Natural uranium | 100 000 g or |
| Low enriched uranium | 1 000 g or |
| High enriched uranium | 5g or |
| Plutonium | 5g |

200 000 g or

High enriched uranium

Plutonium

5g

Operators who think that they could become CAM Member, should use Annex I-G when submitting their BTCs.

The decision on whether to include an operator in the CAM falls within the competence of the Commission because the total amount of all the nuclear material held by these small holders brought together within this individual installation can never exceed 1 effective kg (as defined in Article 2(13)). The CAM, which presently exists only for the non-nuclear weapon states (NNWS), is subject to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards according to the specific provisions defined in the facility attachment (FA) for this installation. The CAM was created to reduce the number of inspections carried out at small holders of nuclear material. The FA for the CAM provides for an annual accounting inspection that takes place in the Commission offices. A CAM was not set up in the nuclear weapon states (NWS) because the verification agreement with the IAEA did not apply to these facilities.

The reporting obligations for an operator who is required to request derogation and of one that has an automatic derogation, as CAM member, are very similar (see Table below which summarises the respective reporting requirements).

| Derogation | CAM Member |
| --- | --- |
| Accounting reports |
| An installation that is granted a derogation, sends to the Commission the following reports, using the format of the appropriate annexes:
  an initial derogation request (Annex IX);
  an export report only if there has been a change of nuclear material ownership (Annex X);
  an derogation request on receipt of nuclear material that has been purchased by the operator (Annex IX);
  an annual report established on 31 December summarising all the inventory changes (where there has been a change of ownership) that have occurred during the reporting period (Annex X). | An installation that the Commission classifies into the CAM, sends to the Commission the following reports either by letter or using the annexes provided for in the Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005:
  each inventory change when it occurs (all the RD/SD/RF/SF, even without change of ownership, and other inventory changes)
  an annual report with the stock established on the 31 of December, even if no inventory change occurred during the period. |

An installation that is granted a derogation, sends to the Commission the following reports, using the format of the appropriate annexes:

an initial derogation request (Annex IX);

an export report only if there has been a change of nuclear material ownership (Annex X);

an derogation request on receipt of nuclear material that has been purchased by the operator (Annex IX);

an annual report established on 31 December summarising all the inventory changes (where there has been a change of ownership) that have occurred during the reporting period (Annex X).

An installation that the Commission classifies into the CAM, sends to the Commission the following reports either by letter or using the annexes provided for in the Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005:

each inventory change when it occurs (all the RD/SD/RF/SF, even without change of ownership, and other inventory changes)

an annual report with the stock established on the 31 of December, even if no inventory change occurred during the period.

Small holders of nuclear material (SHNM) who have previously submitted their basic technical characteristics (BTCs) will not be required to update these.

For those SHNM without BTCs: CAM candidates will use the format shown in Annex I-G, whereas non-CAM candidates will use the format of Annex I-J.

2.3.7.2.   Article 19

1.   The Commission may grant producers and users of nuclear materials a written derogation from the rules governing the form and frequency of notification provided for in Articles 10 to 18, in order to take account of any particular circumstances in which safeguarded materials are used or produced.

Article 19 is mainly addressed to the installations using nuclear material, which is in a recoverable form and used exclusively in non-nuclear activities. Exemption from safeguards reporting obligations is only granted to those holders of end products used for non-nuclear purposes which incorporate nuclear materials that are practically irrecoverable (see point 2.1. above).

The derogation shall be granted on submission of a request by the persons or undertakings concerned based on the form set out in Annex IX.

Example of an initial request for derogation in reporting format and frequency (see example 1 below).

A manufacturer of equipment for medical and industrial radiography holding only depleted uranium used as radiation shielding:

| — | requests derogation in reporting format and frequency using Annex IX (Note: where an operator holds nuclear material that could fall under more than one of the criteria set out in Article 19(2) a separate derogation request will be required for each case). The Commission would routinely expect to deal with a derogation request within three months. |
| --- | --- |

—

requests derogation in reporting format and frequency using Annex IX (Note: where an operator holds nuclear material that could fall under more than one of the criteria set out in Article 19(2) a separate derogation request will be required for each case). The Commission would routinely expect to deal with a derogation request within three months.

| — | for the initial derogation request, point 13 of Annex IX (date of transfer ... from ...) is not relevant. |
| --- | --- |

—

for the initial derogation request, point 13 of Annex IX (date of transfer ... from ...) is not relevant.

| — | the total nuclear material inventory declared on the initial derogation request should be equal to the beginning inventory on the first annual report. |
| --- | --- |

—

the total nuclear material inventory declared on the initial derogation request should be equal to the beginning inventory on the first annual report.

Operators should continue to report using current practise until the Commission has responded to their initial request for derogation.

When the Commission grants the derogation, on the last day of the month before the derogation will be implemented, the operator must carry out a physical inventory (PIT) and submit a physical inventory listing (PIL) to the Commission. This will allow the Commission to know the status of the operator's inventory prior to implementation of the derogation.

Operators who have previously been granted derogation under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76, normally included in particular safeguard provisions (PSPs), will not have to submit a new derogation request. The provisions defined in the PSPs will continue to be applied. If agreed between the operator, the Commission and the Member State, PSPs could be re-examined.

Operators who received a derogation authorisation by letter for quarterly, semi-annual or annual declaration will be required to submit an initial request for derogation under Article 19 of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005. This is because the format, the data, as well as the type of inventory change to be declared now differ from the previous procedure under Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76. Operators granted a derogation under Article 19 will have to declare those inventory changes which increase (new acquisitions or production of nuclear material) or which decrease (sales, transformations, transfer to waste, losses of nuclear material) the nuclear material inventory for which they have the responsibility. These inventory changes will be transmitted in the annual report using Annex X to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005.

The derogation shall be granted only for a whole material balance area in which nuclear material is not processed or stored together with nuclear material for which no derogation can be granted.

The follow up for the reports submitted as a result of derogation (transit matching, deadline for transmission, quality and consistency check) is different from the follow up required for monthly reports.

This is a reason why derogation can only be applied to a whole MBA. Another one is the possibility to link an MBA with derogation with an MBA exempted from IAEA safeguards.

However, an operator who holds at the same time nuclear material used in non-nuclear activities which could be eligible for derogation together with other nuclear material or activities that are not eligible for derogation, can consider creating a separate MBA, dedicated only to those nuclear materials and activities that fulfil the conditions for derogation. In this case, any movements between this MBA and those MBAs with no derogation will have to be declared only by the latter.

2.   The Commission may grant a derogation for a material balance area holding:

As noted above, operators who hold nuclear material that may fall under more than one of the derogation criteria defined in Article 19(2) will be required to submit a separate derogation for each situation.

Correction

When an error in an annual report is discovered by the operator or notified by the Commission, the correction shall be submitted within 15 days of the end of the month in which the error is identified.

To correct a report, the erroneous record, identified using the appropriate references (Report Declaration number and entry number) is deleted and the record with the correct data is declared (see point 3.3.7.3 below - example 2.1)

NB: If the nuclear material comes into and then goes out of the derogated MBA (for example depleted uranium transport container), without any change in the ownership, these transfers do not have to be declared.

4.   In the case of exports of nuclear material to a third country, the persons or undertakings to whom a derogation has been granted shall transmit a report to the Commission as soon as possible and, at the latest, within 15 days of the end of the month in which the export occurred, using the form set out in Annex X. This report shall indicate the quantity of nuclear material exported and the stock of nuclear material still subject to derogation.

NB: if the derogated MBA is also exempted from IAEA safeguards, a de-exemption of this nuclear material should be requested from the IAEA before the export takes place. This procedure, which will be initiated by the Commission, can take a long time.

Example of export report for shipment of nuclear material outside the EU (see point 2.3.6.3 below - example 3):

On 12 July, a manufacturer sells gamma equipment incorporating depleted uranium to a customer outside the EU.

| — | Using Annex X to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 the export will be reported to the Commission at the latest by 15 August. This report allows the Commission to match international transfers. |

| --- | --- |

—

The reporting formats used can be those described in Annexes III, IV and V, especially if there is a PSP and/or a FA in force for the installation.

7.   If the conditions for derogation are no longer met, the derogation shall be withdrawn by the Commission, acting upon receipt of information from the persons or undertakings to which a derogation is granted.

When the conditions for which the derogation was granted according to this article, are no longer met (for example: change of use, receipt of nuclear material not eligible for derogation), the operator must inform the Commission as soon as possible. The Commission will then inform the operator that the derogation has been either suspended (if the change in the conditions is temporary) or cancelled, depending on the particular circumstances of the operator. Reports will then have to be submitted following the procedures/format described in Articles 10 to 18.

If, during its checks, the Commission discovers that an installation no longer meets the conditions to be eligible for derogation, the operator will be asked to provide additional information before derogations are suspended or cancelled.

2.1.1. The stock at the beginning of the period is erroneous

To correct an error in a previous annual report, Annex X is used: the line that has to be corrected is identified by its original declaration number and the entry number that have to be reported in the column ‘ref.’ in the new declaration. All the others columns of the annex have to be completed including the correction.

For example: in the last declaration, number 20, a typing error has been introduced in the beginning stock of the period (entry number 1) and consequently the ending book stock is false (entry number 10).

A new report (declaration number 21) is sent to the Commission as soon as the error has been identified.

2.4.   Chapter IV - Transfers between States (Articles 20 to 23)

Articles 20 and 21 are applicable to transfers of source materials and special fissile materials. They do not apply to transfers of nuclear material in waste or to ores.

Please note that, for reasons imposed by the international agreements between Euratom and third countries, the deadlines are in working days of the country dispatching the notification. Local or regional holidays are also taken into consideration.

Please note that the consecutive period of 12 months is meant as a rolling 12-month period and not a calendar year.

2.5.   Chapter V - Specific provisions (Articles 24 to 33)

2.5.1.   Transmission of information and data to IAEA (Article 29)

It is noted that this Article is reproduced here from the 1993 amendment of Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76.

The reasons for that amendment (i.e. provision to the IAEA of information obtained by the Commission pursuant to the Regulation that was beyond the information described in the safeguards agreements) are still pertaining today.

It was thus deemed necessary to keep the above Article.

Remark:

Regarding Member States' compliance with the deadline appearing in Article 32, the Commission will take into consideration delays that might arise in relation to adaptation of national legislation for the first year of application of Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005.

2.5.2.   Provision for nuclear material contained in waste (Articles 30 to 32, and Annexes XII to XV)

2.5.2.1.   Definitions relevant to nuclear material contained in waste

| (1) | Nuclear material on inventory
  Nuclear material contained in waste will normally originate from a ‘waste stream’ from an activity that processes nuclear material. These ‘waste streams’ are properly accounted for in the installation that produces the waste and reported as any other nuclear material on the inventory. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Nuclear material on inventory

Nuclear material contained in waste will normally originate from a ‘waste stream’ from an activity that processes nuclear material. These ‘waste streams’ are properly accounted for in the installation that produces the waste and reported as any other nuclear material on the inventory.

| (2) | Retained Waste

  ‘Retained waste’ is nuclear material generated from processing or from an operational accident, which is deemed to be unrecoverable for the time being but which is stored. The actual inventory change used in accounting records and reports is termed ‘transfer to retained waste’ (TW). Material transferred to retained waste is stored at the material balance area (MBA) and continues to be subject to IAEA safeguards (Safeguards Agreement), but is not included in the inventory of the MBA.
  It refers to nuclear material contained in waste that is measured or estimated on the basis of measurements and has been transferred to a specific location within the material balance area from which it could be retrieved. Waste belonging to this category has normally not yet been conditioned and is regarded as economically irrecoverable by current technology. |

Waste belonging to this category has normally not yet been conditioned and is regarded as economically irrecoverable by current technology.

| (3) | Conditioned Waste

  ‘Conditioned waste’ is nuclear material contained in waste that is measured or estimated on the basis of measurements and has been conditioned in such a way (for example, in glass, cement, concrete or bitumen) that it is not suitable for further nuclear use. The actual inventory change used in accounting records and reports is termed ‘transfer to conditioned waste’ (TC). This material is normally not subject anymore to IAEA safeguards under the Safeguards Agreements [terminated pursuant to paragraph 11 and 35 of INFCIRC/193, INFCIRC/263 or INFCIRC/290]. This category could also apply to some specific cases where IAEA safeguards are terminated on nuclear material in waste, which is not fully conditioned.
  However, information regarding the location or further processing of intermediate or high-level ‘conditioned waste’ containing plutonium, high enriched uranium or uranium-233 on which safeguards have been terminated pursuant to paragraph 11 of INFCIRC/193, INFCIRC/263 or INFCIRC/290 has to be reported to the IAEA under article 2a(viii) of the additional protocol. In this context, ‘further processing’ does not include repackaging of the waste or its further conditioning not involving the separation of elements, for storage or disposal. |

In this context, ‘further processing’ does not include repackaging of the waste or its further conditioning not involving the separation of elements, for storage or disposal.

| (4) | Termination of Euratom safeguards
  Euratom safeguards are terminated on nuclear material that is irrevocably discarded to the environment as the result of a planned discharge. The nuclear material contained in such discharge is measured or estimated on the basis of measurements.
  Euratom safeguards (and IAEA safeguards) are terminated on these materials at the point of discharge. |

(6)

Nuclear material on inventory

Nuclear material contained in waste that is not yet declared as retained waste, conditioned waste or waste discarded to the environment is accounted for and reported as any other nuclear material on inventory.

| (7) | Nuclear material contained in retained waste (Article 30)
  Installations producing, handling, processing or storing retained waste provide BTCs, on the basis of which PSPs are prepared. BTCs are prepared following Annex I-H to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005 if it consists of an installation only involving nuclear materials contained in waste, or alternatively, the relevant activities are included in the BTCs of the installation that generates the retained waste. Each installation is also required to provide an annual programme of activities covering, if possible, the following two years. In the case of an installation that generates retained waste, this annual programme shall be included in the same programme of activities to be provided under Article 5.
  Material is transferred from the main inventory to retained waste using the inventory change code TW (transfer to retained waste). It is subtracted form the inventory of third country-obligated material and will be normally kept under the obligation code P. Retained waste is brought back onto the main inventory, using code FW (transfer from retained waste), for any processing involving the separation of elements or for any shipment.
  Any processing of retained waste that does not involve the separation of elements can be conducted off the main inventory. The operator advises Euratom of such processing in the programme of activities, records for which (including the quantities of material involved) are to be available at the installation.
  In order to establish a starting point an initial stock list is to be established, where applicable, of the nuclear material contained in retained waste. It shall include the estimated stock (e.g. using the form of the PIL or the LII), normally with obligation code P based on best available values. The initial stock list should provide details of the total amounts of nuclear material for each MBA, by category (Pu, HEU, LEU, N, D, and T) and broken down at the level of storage areas and type of waste. This list will be updated annually following the PIT. Operator documentation in support of the figures will be made available on site as requested during Euratom safeguards inspections.
  Upon shipment the installation declares the inventory change code FW followed by SD or SF, normally with obligation code P.
  Upon receipt of material that qualifies for retained waste, the operator declares the transaction code RD or RF followed by TW, normally with obligation code P.
  Operating and accounting records, including all movements, are to be kept and made available on site as requested during Euratom safeguards inspections.
  Advance notifications (Articles 20 and 21) of retained waste receipts and shipments are not required.
  Operators are required to undertake an annual PIT. The PIT for retained waste does not involve remeasurement of the nuclear material but is established based upon the best available values. The stock list is updated yearly after the PIT.
  No PIL (Annex V to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005) and no MBR (Annex IV to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005) are required for material previously declared as retained waste. Any TW or FW transaction will be included in the ICRs (Annex III to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005) of the MBA generating the retained waste. |

2.5.2.3.   Examples of various types of ‘waste’ and their reporting

The table below provides some examples of typical waste streams encountered in the European nuclear fuel cycle and their possible reporting mechanisms.

In order for material to qualify for ‘Conditioned Waste’ (TC), the material has to be dispersed in a glass, cement, concrete or bitumen matrix is such a way that that it is not suitable for further nuclear use. The operator and the Commission may agree reporting arrangements on a case-by-case basis. The guidelines on the concentrations provisionally implemented by Euratom safeguards (and by the IAEA where applicable) are as recommended by the IAEA Member States' experts and included in the IAEA policy paper 14 on waste.

2.6.   Chapter VII - Final provisions (Articles 35 to 40)

Concerning the confidentiality of data (Article 35), it is noted that the security grading for information received by the Commission from an operator or a Member State and vice versa will at least be equal to the level requested by the issuer of the information.

When documents are classified by an operator, a Member State or the Commission, the security measures in Euratom Regulation No 3 of 31 July 1958 need to be implemented. When classified information is transmitted electro-magnetically to the Commission, the provisions of Commission Decision 2001/844/EC, ECSC, Euratom (7), and in particular Article 25(5)(5) thereof, need to be respected.

7

Concerning the transitional period (Article 39), please note that persons or undertakings may continue using Annexes II, III and IV to Regulation (Euratom) No 3227/76 in order to comply with the reporting requirements.

If, within three years from the entry into force, a person or undertaking is ready to switch to the use of the reporting Annexes III, IV and V to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005, he should inform the Commission accordingly and start reporting.

If, on the contrary, at the end of the three-year year period, a person or undertaking is not ready to start reporting using the reporting Annexes III, IV and V to Regulation (Euratom) No 302/2005, he should address to the Commission a request for an extension of this period by up to another two years and present at the same time an implementation programme.

It is clarified here that the aim of the Commission in introducing the above procedure (i.e. request for extension of the period) is to monitor the progress of the persons or undertakings towards introducing the new reporting format, so that the whole exercise is completed within the period of five years foreseen in the Regulation.
