United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. (a)

    technetium (atomic No 43), promethium (atomic No 61), polonium (atomic No 84) and all elements with an atomic number greater than 84;

  2. (b)

    natural or artificial radioactive isotopes (including those of the precious metals or of the base metals of Sections XIV and XV), whether or not mixed together;

  3. (c)

    compounds, inorganic or organic, of these elements or isotopes, whether or not chemically defined, whether or not mixed together;

  4. (d)

    alloys, dispersions (including cermets), ceramic products and mixtures containing these elements or isotopes or inorganic or organic compounds thereof and having a specific radioactivity exceeding 74 Bq/g (0,002 μCi/g);

  5. (e)

    spent (irradiated) fuel elements (cartridges) of nuclear reactors;

  6. (f)

    radioactive residues whether or not usable.

The term ‘isotopes’, for the purposes of this note and of the wording of headings 2844 and 2845, refers to:

  • individual nuclides, excluding, however, those existing in nature in the monoisotopic state,

  • mixtures of isotopes of one and the same element, enriched in one or several of the said isotopes, that is, elements of which the natural isotopic composition has been artificially modified.
