CELsspecify those parts of nuclear weapons and T, H and UC equipment that have ageneral commercial application, do not contain source and special nuclearmaterials, and are not within the definition of non-nuclear weapon parts.Plutonium, uranium enriched in the isotope 233 or in the isotope 235, and anyother material which pursuant to the provisions of Section 51 of the Atomic EnergyAct of 1954, as amended, has been determined to be special nuclear material, butdoes not include source material; or any material artificially enriched by any of theforegoing, but does not include source material.Custom equipment/supports/containers used to support weapon R&D, Production,Maintenance, and Training (e.g., Test & Handling Gear, Test Bed Hardware,Containers, Trainers and Trainer Components, Parachutes, etc.).Nuclear fuel (Foreign and Domestic Research) returned for disposition.STARS is the DOE’s primary unclassified financial reporting system. The NNSAService Center ensures DIMS/STARS balances agree.Components identified by Design Agency that need to be evaluated and testedduring surveillance of a weapon. Includes CSA, detonators and pits.Weapon sub-assemblies or components removed from a Surveillance unit byPantex for testing.Describes the training and qualification requirements for technical personnel withsafety responsibilities at defense nuclear facilities. It documents how NNSAidentifies these positions; tailors qualification standards for them; establishes timeand duty limitations for qualification; describes the process to identify learningactivities to achieve competency for the specific job duties; and establishesmethods for evaluating qualification.Personnel provided by a Design Agency or Production Agency to support anothersite, DOE Program, or non-DOE organization.Page 52 of 56
