Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as natural or artificial radioactive isotopes not specifically listed
Broader subheading for other radioactive isotopes; specific listing in 2844.42 takes precedence for named isotopes.
If for spent nuclear fuel elements or high-level radioactive residues
Applies to irradiated reactor cartridges rather than pure compounds; end-use as fuel changes classification.
