Nuclear Weapons Components and Materials screen criteria

How to read this definition

Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.

Can establish this activity

Included when supported

Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.

6 criteria

01Criterion
Exclusive-Use Nuclear Weapon Components
Defined as: Companies that produce, assemble, or supply components developed or significantly modified for exclusive or dedicated use in nuclear weapons, nuclear warheads, or nuclear-specific delivery systems.
02Criterion
Weapons-Grade Fissile Material Production or Processing
Defined as: Companies involved in producing, processing, enriching, fabricating, or handling fissile materials specifically for nuclear weapons, including weapons-grade uranium or plutonium.
03Criterion
Tritium and Specialized Nuclear Materials for Weapons
Defined as: Companies that produce, recover, process, store, or supply tritium, lithium compounds, or other specialized materials with confirmed nuclear-weapons end use.
04Criterion
Warhead Arming, Fuzing, Firing, Triggering, or Detonation Components
Defined as: Companies that provide arming, fuzing, firing sets, triggers, detonators, safing systems, use-control systems, or other detonation-related components specifically for nuclear warheads.
05Criterion
Warhead Non-Nuclear Component Manufacturers
Defined as: Companies that produce high explosives, neutron generators, gas-transfer systems, radiation cases, reentry bodies, payload interfaces, or other non-nuclear components specifically for nuclear warheads.
06Criterion
Nuclear-Specific Delivery-System Components
Defined as: Companies that provide propulsion, guidance, missile structures, launch tubes, payload bays, fire-control interfaces, or other subsystems developed or significantly modified for nuclear-specific delivery systems.

Does not establish this activity on its own

Excluded on this basis alone

These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.

6 criteria

01Criterion
Civilian Nuclear Fuel and Power Materials
Defined as: Companies involved only in uranium mining, civilian enrichment, reactor fuel fabrication, MOX fuel for civilian reactors, reactor components, nuclear power generation, or civilian nuclear waste management.
02Criterion
Medical, Industrial, or Research Isotopes
Defined as: Companies involved only in isotope production or supply for medical, industrial, research, agricultural, or non-weaponized applications.
03Criterion
Generic Aerospace, Electronics, Metals, or Chemicals
Defined as: Companies that supply generic materials, electronics, casings, software, telemetry, metals, chemicals, or industrial inputs without confirmed nuclear-weapons-specific design, modification, or end use.
04Criterion
Dual-Use Components Without Nuclear-Specific Evidence
Defined as: Companies producing dual-use products that could be used in nuclear weapons but are not documented as developed, significantly modified, or supplied for nuclear-weapons use.
05Criterion
Civilian Nuclear Power Plant Components
Defined as: Companies providing systems, components, technology, maintenance, or services solely for civilian nuclear power plants or reactors.
06Criterion
Disarmament, Remediation, or Waste-Only Services
Defined as: Companies handling nuclear materials only for verified disarmament, destruction, environmental remediation, civilian waste management, or treaty-compliance purposes.
