Explanatory notes:
1. | Legal entity or name of installation: The name of the legal entity or the installation requesting the authorisation for the obligation exchange. |
2. | Reporting MBA: Code of the reporting material balance area. This code is notified to the installation concerned by the Commission. |
3. | Reporting installation: Name and address of the reporting installation. |
4. | Corresponding MBA: The code of the corresponding material balance area in the case of intra-EU obligation exchange and, if known, in the case of an obligation exchange with an installation located in a third country. |
5. | Corresponding installation: Name and address of the corresponding installation. |
6. | Nuclear material weight: Total element weight of all batches involved in the obligation exchange. |
7. | Exchange date: The date proposed by the reporting person to perform the obligation exchange. |
8. | Request date: The date on which the request for authorization is transmitted to the Commission. |
9. | Report type: OBLRQ to be used for this report type. |
10. | Reporting person: Name of the person responsible for the report. |
11. | Report number: Sequential number (no gaps) for the authorization request. |
12. | Justification: A detailed justification for the need of the obligation exchange. |
13. | Line number: Sequential number starting with 1, no gaps. |
14. | MBA: MBA where the batch is located (either reporting or corresponding MBA), to be provided for each batch involved in the obligation exchange. |
15. | Batch: Identification number for the batch involved in the obligation exchange. The Commission may accept that the batch identification number is provided after the first request, but prior to an agreed date. An exchange not necessarily needs to be item-by-item. |
16. | Container ID: Unique identifier for the container. The same container ID may be used for several batches. The Commission may accept that the container ID is provided after the first request, but prior to an agreed date. An exchange not necessarily needs to be item-by-item. |
17. | Element weight: The element weight shall be given in grams. The information shall be inserted for each batch. |
18. | Fissile weight: The weight of the fissile isotope(s) (for low enriched uranium and high enriched uranium: weight of isotope U-233 and U-235) shall be given in grams. The information shall be inserted for each batch containing uranium. |
19. | Element category: The category of nuclear material. Use the category codes as laid out in Annex III (25) to this Regulation. |
20. | Chemical composition: The chemical composition of the batches involved in the obligation exchange. The chemical composition shall be the same for all batches involved in the exchange. |
21. | Enrichment: Percent composition of uranium-235. The information shall be inserted for each batch containing uranium. |
22. | Isotopic composition: The isotopic composition for batches containing plutonium (weight of Pu-238, Pu-239, Pu-240, Pu-241 and Pu-242). |
23. | Material state: The following codes must be used.
|
24. | Material form: The material form of the batch, using material form codes as laid out in Annex III (14) to this Regulation. The material form shall be the same for all batches involved in the exchange. |
25. | Number of items: The number of items included in the batch. |
26. | Intended use: The use to which the nuclear material is assigned after the obligation exchange. |
27. | Comment: Include any additional relevant information here. |
