DUAL-USE GOODS LIST
NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY NOTE (NTN)
(To be read in conjunction with section E of Category 0)
The "technology" directly associated with any goods controlled in Category 0 is controlled according to the provisions of Category 0. (L.N. 183 of 1999)
"Technology" for the "development", "production" or "use" of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non-controlled goods.
The approval of goods for export also authorizes the export to the same end-user of the minimum "technology" required for the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the goods.
Controls on "technology" transfer do not apply to information "in the public domain" or to "basic scientific research".
GENERAL TECHNOLOGY NOTE (GTN)
(To be read in conjunction with section E of Categories 1 to 9)
The export of "technology" which is "required" for the "development", "production" or "use" of goods controlled in Categories 1 to 9, is controlled according to the provisions of Categories 1 to 9.
"Technology" "required" for the "development", "production" or "use" of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non-controlled goods.
Controls do not apply to that "technology" which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) and repair of those goods which are not controlled or whose export has been authorized.
N.B.:
This does not release such "technology" controlled by 1E002(e) and 1E002(f) and 8E002(a) and 8E002(b).
Controls on "technology" transfer do not apply to information "in the public domain", to "basic scientific research" or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications.
GENERAL SOFTWARE NOTE (GSN)
The Lists do not control "software" which is either:
(1) Generally available to the public by being:
(a) Sold from stock at retail selling points without restriction, by means of:
(1) Over-the-counter transactions;
(2) Mail order transactions; (L.N. 65 of 2004)
(3) Electronic transactions; or (L.N. 65 of 2004)
(4) Telephone call transactions; and (L.N. 65 of 2004)
(b) Designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier; or
N.B.:
Entry (1) of the General Software Note does not release "software" controlled by Category 5-Part 2.
(2) "In the public domain". (L.N. 183 of 1999)
CATEGORY 0-NUCLEAR MATERIALS,
FACILITIES, AND EQUIPMENT
0A SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT AND COMPONENTS
0A001 "Nuclear reactors" and specially designed or prepared equipment and components therefor, as follows:
(a) "Nuclear reactors" capable of operation so as to maintain a controlled self-sustaining fission chain reaction;
(b) Metal vessels, or major shop-fabricated parts therefor, specially designed or prepared to contain the core of a "nuclear reactor", including the reactor vessel head for a reactor pressure vessel;
(c) Manipulative equipment specially designed or prepared for inserting or removing fuel in a "nuclear reactor";
(d) Control rods specially designed or prepared for the control of the fission process in a "nuclear reactor", support or suspension structures therefor, rod drive mechanisms and rod guide tubes;
(e) Pressure tubes specially designed or prepared to contain fuel elements and the primary coolant in a "nuclear reactor" at an operating pressure in excess of 5.1 MPa;
(f) Zirconium metal and alloys in the form of tubes or assemblies of tubes in which the ratio of hafnium to zirconium is less than 1:500 parts by weight, specially designed or prepared for use in a "nuclear reactor";
(g) Coolant pumps specially designed or prepared for circulating the primary coolant of "nuclear reactors";
(h) 'Nuclear reactor internals' specially designed or prepared for use in a "nuclear reactor", including support columns for the core, fuel channels, thermal shields, baffles, core grid plates, and diffuser plates;
Note:
In 0A001(h), 'nuclear reactor internals' means any major structure within a reactor vessel which has one or more functions such as supporting the core, maintaining fuel alignment, directing primary coolant flow, providing radiation shields for the reactor vessel, and guiding in-core instrumentations.
(i) Heat exchangers (steam generators) specially designed or prepared for use in the primary coolant circuit of a "nuclear reactor";
(j) Neutron detection and measuring instruments specially designed or prepared for determining neutron flux levels within the core of a "nuclear reactor"
