(d) Process control instrumentation specially designed or prepared for monitoring or controlling the reprocessing of irradiated source and special and other fissile materials.

Note:

A plant for the reprocessing of irradiated nuclear reactor fuel elements includes equipment and components which normally come into direct contact with and directly control the irradiated fuel and the major nuclear material and fission product processing streams.

Nuclear reactors, i.e. reactors capable of operation so as to maintain a controlled, self-sustaining fission chain reaction, and equipment and components specially designed or prepared for use in connection with a nuclear reactor, including-

(a) Pressure vessels, i.e. metal vessels as complete units or as major shop-fabricated parts therefor, which are specially designed or prepared to contain the core of a nuclear reactor and are capable of withstanding the operating pressure of the primary coolant, including the top plate for a reactor pressure vessel;

(b) Fuel element handling equipment, including reactor fuel charging and discharging machines;

(c) Control rods, i.e., rods specially designed or prepared for the control of the reaction rate in a nuclear reactor, including the neutron absorbing part and the support or suspension structures therefor, and control rod guide tubes,

(d) Electronic controls for controlling the power levels in nuclear reactors, including reactor control rod drive mechanisms and radiation detection and measuring instruments to determine neutron flux levels;

(e) Pressure tubes, i.e. tubes specially designed or prepared to contain fuel elements and the primary coolant in a nuclear reactor at an operating pressure in excess of 50 bars (atmospheres);

(f) Coolant pumps, i.e. pumps specially designed or prepared for circulating the primary coolant of nuclear reactors;

(g) Internals specially designed or prepared for the operation of a nuclear reactor, including but not limited to core support structures, thermal shields, baffles, core grid plates and diffuser plates;

(h) Heat exchangers.

Note:

A "nuclear reactor" includes the items within or attached directly to the reactor vessel, the equipment which controls the level of power in the core, and the components which normally contain or come into direct contact with or control the primary coolant of the reactor core.

Plants specially designed for the fabrication of nuclear reactor fuel elements and specially designed equipment therefor.

Plants for the production of heavy water, deuterium, or deuterium compounds, and specially designed or prepared equipment and components therefor.

Plants for the production of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) and specially designed or prepared equipment (including UF6 purification equipment) and components therefor.
