Products classified under Tariff item 8401.30.00.00
Fuel Element End Plug Assembly
> This welded end cap assembly, made of zirconium alloy, is designed to seal non-irradiated nuclear fuel cartridges. It prevents gas release and maintains the structural integrity of the fuel element, ensuring safe handling and reactor performance. As a component integral to the fuel cartridge, it is classified under this tariff item.
8401.30.00MOX Plutonium-Uranium Fuel Cartridge
> This non-irradiated mixed oxide (MOX) fuel cartridge combines plutonium and uranium oxides in pellet form within metal cladding, designed for light water reactors. It is a complete fuel element ready for reactor loading, falling squarely under the tariff item for non-irradiated fuel elements.
8401.30.00Silicon Carbide TRISO Fuel Particle Cartridge
> This non-irradiated TRISO fuel cartridge contains thousands of silicon carbide-coated uranium oxide or carbide particles embedded in a graphite matrix, designed for high-temperature gas reactors. It is a complete fuel element, classified under the tariff item for non-irradiated fuel elements.
8401.30.00Uranium Dioxide Fuel Pellet Cartridge
> This non-irradiated fuel element cartridge contains pressed uranium dioxide (UO2) pellets encased in zirconium alloy cladding, designed for insertion into nuclear reactor cores. It is a complete fuel element, directly matching the description of this tariff item.
8401.30.00Zircaloy-4 Fuel Cladding Spacer Grid
> This Zircaloy-4 spacer grid assembly positions and supports fuel rods within nuclear fuel cartridges, maintaining coolant flow spacing. While it is a component, it is essential to the structure of the fuel element and is classified as a part of non-irradiated fuel elements under this tariff item.
8401.30.00ZIRLO Fuel Rod Cladding Tube
> This precision zirconium-niobium alloy (ZIRLO) tube serves as the protective cladding for nuclear fuel pellets in non-irradiated fuel elements. It is a critical component of the fuel cartridge, classified under this tariff item as a part of non-irradiated fuel elements.
