fissile material

fissile material and packages containing fissile material shall be classified under the relevant entry as

“fissile” in accordance with table 2.2.7.2.1.1 unless excepted by one of the provisions of subparagraphs

(a) to (f) below and carried subject to the requirements of 7.5.11 cv33 (4.3). all

provisions apply only to material in packages that meets the requirements of 6.4.7.2 unless

unpackaged material is specifically allowed in the provision.

(a) uranium enriched in uranium-235 to a maximum of 1% by mass, and with a total plutonium

and uranium-233 content not exceeding 1% of the mass of uranium-235, provided that the

fissile nuclides are distributed essentially homogeneously throughout the material. in addition,

if uranium-235 is present in metallic, oxide or carbide forms, it shall not form a lattice

arrangement;

(b) liquid solutions of uranyl nitrate enriched in uranium-235 to a maximum of 2% by mass, with

a total plutonium and uranium-233 content not exceeding 0.002% of the mass of uranium, and

with a minimum nitrogen to uranium atomic ratio (n/u) of 2;

(i) there is no more than 3.5 g of uranium-235 per package;

(ii) the total plutonium and uranium-233 content does not exceed 1% of the mass of

uranium-235 per package;

(iii) carriage of the package is subject to the consignment limit provided in 7.5.11 cv33

(4.3) (c);

(d) fissile nuclides with a total mass not greater than 2.0 g per package provided the package is

carried subject to the consignment limit provided in 7.5.11 cv33 (4.3) (d);

(e) fissile nuclides with a total mass not greater than 45 g either packaged or unpackaged subject

to limits provided in 7.5.11 cv33 (4.3) (e);

(f) a fissile material that meets the requirements of 7.5.11 cv33 (4.3) (b), 2.2.7.2.3.6 and

5.1.5.2.1.
