Total number of measurement points:

1. i)

   description of location, type, identification;

2. ii)

   expected types of inventory change at the measurement point;

3. iii)

   whether the measurement point can be used for physical inventory taking;

4. iv)

   physical and chemical form of qualifying nuclear material (including enrichment range, plutonium content and cladding materials description);

5. v)

   qualifying nuclear material containers, packaging and method of storage;

6. vi)

   sampling procedure and equipment used (including number of samples taken, frequency and rejection criteria);

7. vii)

9. ix)

   calculative and error propagation techniques;

10. x)

    technique and frequency of calibration of equipment used, and standards used;

11. xi)

    programme for the continuing appraisal of the accuracy of weight, volume, sampling and analytical techniques and measurement methods;

12. xii)

    programme for statistical evaluation of data from (x) and (xi);

13. xiii)

    method of converting source data to batch data (standard calculative procedures, constants and empirical relationships for feed, products in sub-accounting areas, waste and scrap);

14. xiv)

    means of batch identification;

15. xv)

    anticipated batch flow rate per year;

16. xvi)

    anticipated number of inventory batches;
