Items Controlled
a. Graphite with a boron content of less than 5 parts per million and a density greater than 1.5 grams per cubic centimeter that is intended for use other than in a nuclear reactor; b. 'Deuterium' not for use in a nuclear reactor.
Related Controls
(1) See also 1C107. (2) Graphite having a purity level of less than 5 parts per million "boron equivalent" as measured according to ASTM standard C-1233-98 and intended for use in a nuclear reactor is subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR part 110). (3) Deuterium and any deuterium compound, including heavy water, in which the ratio of deuterium atoms to hydrogen atoms exceeds 1:5000; and intended for use in a nuclear reactor is subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR part 110).
Items may also be controlled under the ITAR (22 CFR 121) administered by the State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
Related Definitions
For the purpose of this entry, graphite with a purity level better than 5 parts per million boron equivalent is determined according to ASTM standard C1233-98. In applying ASTM standard C1233-98, the boron equivalence of the element carbon is not included in the boron equivalence calculation, since carbon is not considered an impurity. For the purpose of this entry, 'Deuterium' means deuterium and any deuterium compound, including heavy water, in which the ratio of deuterium atoms to hydrogen atoms exceeds 1:5000.
See EAR Part 772 (15 CFR 772) for complete definitions of terms used in the CCL.

Export Control Context
Category 1 covers advanced materials, chemicals, microorganisms, and toxins. Many items are controlled under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and Australia Group commitments. Chemical precursors and biological agents require careful screening of end-use and end-user.
