^[1]. The end-use for all AONM is for the production
of electric power in civil nuclear reactors and for related R&D. AONM cannot be used for any military
purpose.

In accordance with the relevant agreements,
Australias bilateral safeguards agreement partners report on a calendar year
basis.

The actual quantities of AONM held in each
country, and accounted for by that country pursuant to the relevant agreement
with Australia, are considered by ASNOs counterparts to be confidential
information. Totals above are based on
annual reports under Australia's bilateral agreements and other information
held by ASNO.

All quantities are given as tonnes weight of
the element uranium, plutonium or thorium. In the case of uranium, the isotope weight of uranium-235 is, for
natural uranium 0.711% of the element weight, for depleted uranium 0.20%, and
for low enriched uranium in the range 1-5%.

Irradiated plutonium comprises plutonium
contained in irradiated power reactor fuel, or plutonium reloaded in a power
reactor following reprocessing. Plutonium recovered from reprocessing is categorised as separated
plutonium until it has been fabricated with uranium as MOX (mixed oxide) fuel
and returned to a reactor for further power generation.

There may be minor discrepancies in the above figures due to rounding.

^[2]. The above figures are for
transfers made during 2000 and do not include transfers made in earlier
years. The figures do not include
transfers of AONM made within the fuel cycle of a State (or of Euratom), only between
jurisdictions. There were no transfers of AONM between jurisdictions to
reprocessing plants or reactors for irradiation in 2000.
