ANNEX II
TABLE: CATEGORIZATION OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL
| Material | Material | Form | Category | ||
| I | II | III (c) | |||
| 1. | Plutonium (a) | Unirradiated (b) | 2 kg or more | Less than 2 kg but more than 500g | 500g or less but more than 15g |
| 2. | Uranium-235 | Unirradiated (b) — uranium enriched to 20% 235U or more | 5kg or more | Less than 5 kg but more than 1kg | 1kg or less but more than 15g |
| — uranium enriched to 10% 235U but less than 20% | 10 kg or more | Less than 10kg but more than 1kg | |||
| — uranium enriched above natural, but less than 10% 235U | 10kg or more | ||||
| 3. | Uranium-233 | Unirradiated (b) | 2 kg or more | Less than 2kg but more than 500g | 500g or less but more than 15g |
| 4. | Irradiated fuel | Depleted or natural uranium, thorium or low-enriched fuel (less than 10% fissile content) (d) (e) |
a. All plutonium except that with isotopic concentration exceeding 80% in plutonium-238.
b. Material not irradiated in a reactor or material irradiated in a reactor but with a radiation level equal to or less than 100 rads/hour at one metre unshielded.
c. Quantities not falling in Category III and natural uranium should be protected in accordance with prudent management practice.
d. Although this level of protection is recommended, it would be open to States, upon evaluation of the specific circumstances, to assign a different category of physical protection.
e. Other fuel which by virtue of its original fissile material content is classified as Category I and II before irradiation may be reduced one category level while the radiation level from the fuel exceeds 100 rads/hour at one metre unshielded.
