10.

KMP: Key measurement point. The codes are notified to the installation concerned and listed in the particular safeguard provisions. If no specific codes have been notified, ‘&’ shall be used.

11.

Measurement: The basis on which the quantity of nuclear material reported was established has to be indicated, using the category codes as laid out in Annex III (13) to this Regulation.

12.

Element category: The element category of the nuclear material, using the category codes as laid out in Annex III (25) to this Regulation.

16.

Line number: Sequential number starting with 1 in each report, no gaps.

17.

Number of items: Each physical inventory line shall indicate the number of items involved. If a group of items belonging to the same batch are reported as several lines, the sum of the number of items reported shall equal the total number of items in the group. If the lines involve more than one element category, the number of items shall be declared in the line(s) for the element category of highest safeguards relevance only (in descending order: P, H, L, N, D, T).

18.

Element weight: The weight of the element category referred to in field 12 shall be reported. All weights shall be reported in grams. The decimal digits appearing in the accounting lines can be reported up to a maximum of three decimal places.

19.

Isotope: This code indicates the kind of fissile isotopes involved and shall be used when the weight of fissile isotopes is reported. Use the codes as laid out in Annex III (27) to this Regulation.

20.

Fissile weight: Unless otherwise stated in the particular safeguard provisions, the weight of fissile isotopes shall only be reported for enriched uranium and category changes involving enriched uranium. All weights shall be reported in grams. The decimal digits appearing in the accounting lines can be reported up to a maximum of three decimal places.

21.

Obligation: Indication of the particular safeguard obligation assumed by the Community under an Agreement concluded with a third country or an international organisation, to which the material is subject (Article 19).

22.

Document: Operator-defined reference to supporting document(s).

23.

Container ID: Operator-defined container number. Optional data element which can be used in those cases where the container number does not appear in the batch designation.

24.

Correction: Corrections have to be made by deleting the wrong line(s) and adding the correct one(s), where appropriate. The following codes shall be used:

25.

27.

Comment: Free-text comment field for short comments by operator (replaces separate concise note).

28.

CRC: Hash code of line for quality control purposes. The Commission shall inform the operator of the algorithm to be used.

29.

Previous CRC: Hash code of the line to be corrected.

1.

If, on the date the physical inventory was taken, there was no nuclear material in the material balance area, only labels from 1 to 7, 16, 17 and 28 above shall be filled in. In addition, labels 24-26 and 29 shall be filled in where appropriate.

2.

General remarks 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 at the end of Annex III apply mutatis mutandis.
