Translation of "stock de matières fissiles " (French → English) :

U.S. allies, members of the new agenda coalition, and relevant parts of civil society, including the Middle Powers Initiative, must emphasize that preservation of the ABM Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty entry into force, completion of a fissile material cut-off agreement, programs to eradicate stockpiles of excess fissile material, and the rest of the steps in the final document are important to preserving the NPT.

The Community supply position in regard to nuclear materials makes it possible for the exemption provided for in Article 74 of the Treaty to be authorised in such a manner as to ensure that all users may receive a regular and equitable supply of ores, source materials and special fissile materials,

With regard to special fissile materials, transfers within, imports into and exports from the Community shall be exempt from the provisions of Chapter VI of Title II of the Treaty provided that the quantities involved, referred to the elemental form, do not exceed 200 g of uranium-235, uranium-233 or plutonium in any one transaction up to an annual limit of 1 000 g of any of the substances per user. In the case of imports and exports this shall apply subject to the provisions of agreements for cooperation concluded by the Community with third countries.

The primary objective of the negotiations was to agree on a legal framework which would guarantee to the European nuclear industry, whenever it operates with US-obligated materials, security of supply, stability and long-term predictability. The Commission considers that these objectives have been attained, since the new agreement, which will remain in force for at least 30 years, followed possibly by subsequent 5-year roll-over periods, guarantees the following framework as long as it remains in force: 1. Any non-sensitive nuclear activities, as well as enrichment up to 20%, irradiation of fissile materials and post-irradiation examinat ...[+++]ion involving chemical dissolution or separation of irradiated nuclear material will be freely and unconditionally allowed. 2. Retransfers to third countries will be authorised on a long-term basis according to procedures set out in the agreement. 3. Storage of sensitive fissile material will be possible in any facility that meets the usual physical protection levels. 4. Reprocessing and alteration in form of content of sensitive fissile materials will take place under a generic programmatic consent, in facilities forming part of the list of nuclear facilities ("peaceful programme") delineated by each party.
