Products classified under HTS 2844.20.00.30
Uranium Hexafluoride (UF6) Enriched in U235
Uranium hexafluoride is a volatile compound used in the gaseous diffusion process for enriching uranium-235, essential for nuclear fuel production. This product falls under HTS 2844.20.00.30 as a compound of uranium enriched in U235, specifically classified as 'other' uranium compounds. It is handled under strict nuclear regulatory controls due to its fissile properties.
Triuranium Octoxide (U3O8) Enriched Yellowcake
Enriched triuranium octoxide, commonly known as yellowcake, serves as a stable intermediate for uranium conversion processes. Classified in HTS 2844.20.00.30 as other uranium compounds enriched in U235. This black powder form facilitates safe storage and transport.
Ammonium Diuranate Enriched in U235
Ammonium diuranate (ADU) precipitate from enriched uranium solutions is calcined to produce UO3 or UO2. Classified as HTS 2844.20.00.30 other uranium compounds. Yellow compound used in purification processes.
Uranyl Nitrate Enriched in U235
Uranyl nitrate is a key intermediate compound in uranium processing, obtained from enriched uranium ore for conversion to nuclear fuel. Classified under HTS 2844.20.00.30 as an 'other' compound of uranium enriched in U235. It appears as yellow crystals and requires specialized containment.
Uranium Dioxide (UO2) Powder Enriched in U235
Enriched uranium dioxide powder is the primary form used to fabricate nuclear fuel pellets for light water reactors. This falls under HTS 2844.20.00.30 as an 'other' uranium compound enriched in U235. The powder is sinterable and forms the ceramic matrix for fuel rods.
Uranium Tetrafluoride (UF4) Enriched Compound
Green salt uranium tetrafluoride is produced during the reduction of UF6 and used in metal production for nuclear applications. Falls under HTS 2844.20.00.30 as other enriched uranium compounds. Critical precursor in the uranium fuel cycle.
