Waste zirconium material recovered from decommissioned nuclear fuel cladding, containing less than 1 part hafnium per 500 parts zirconium by weight. Classified under HTS 8109.31.00.00 as zirconium waste and scrap due to its low hafnium content and unsuitability for direct reuse without refining. This scrap is commonly recycled for new zirconium alloy production.
