For these holders, the total inventory is calculated as the sum of the stock of each category of nuclear material held, each expressed as a percentage of the following limits:
| depleted uranium | 350 000 g or |
| thorium | 200 000 g or |
| natural uranium | 100 000 g or |
| low enriched uranium | 1 000 g or |

Change in particular obligation CR Accountancy transfer of a quantity of nuclear material from one particular safeguards obligation to another (Article 17(1)), for all cases not covered by codes BR, PR or SR. Nuclear production NP Increase in the quantity of nuclear material due to nuclear transformation. Nuclear loss NL Decrease in the quantity of nuclear material due to nuclear transformation. Shipper/receiver difference DI Shipper/receiver difference (See Article 2.19). 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.

Isotope adjustment R5 Adjustment to make the sum of the isotope quantities reported coincide with the ending book inventory for U-235 of the material balance area. Material production MP Quantity of nuclear material, obtained from substances originally not subject to safeguards, which has become subject to safeguards because its concentration now exceeds the minimum levels. Termination of use TU Quantity of nuclear material considered as irrecoverable for practical or economic reasons which is: (i) incorporated in end products used for non-nuclear purposes; or (ii) contained in waste in very low concentrations measured or estimated on the basis of measurements, even if these materials are not discarded to the environment.
