1. Scope and Applicability
This PCR covers finished physical parts identifiable as being solely or principally for nuclear reactors, including reactor internal and pressure-boundary parts delivered as accepted components. It applies to cradle-to-gate foreground manufacture from receipt of qualified material or a qualified preform through shaping, machining, applicable thermal operations, cleaning, inspection, testing, acceptance and release at the manufacturer's gate.
The category excludes complete nuclear reactors; non-irradiated and spent fuel elements; parts of non-irradiated fuel elements; isotope-separation equipment; steam generators and boiler auxiliaries; generic fasteners, valves, pumps, instruments or structural products not demonstrably dedicated to a nuclear-reactor application; installation at the reactor site; operation, maintenance and decommissioning. CPC 3.0 identifies subclass 42310 as nuclear reactors and subclass 42341 as parts of those goods. The Chinese product terminology is rendered literally as 子类42310所列货物的零件 and described in ordinary technical language as 核反应堆零件, consistent with official Chinese tariff terminology for the corresponding HS 8401 family.
The representative route is manufacture of an accepted low-alloy-steel reactor part from a qualified forging. A dataset for another covered material or fabrication route shall replace the representative material input with each actual bill-of-material flow as a separate atomic exchange and shall declare all route-specific operations; it shall not aggregate different materials, fuels, chemicals, wastes or emissions into collection labels.

3. Reference Flow
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| What | A finished nuclear-reactor part that performs its declared structural, pressure-boundary, support, alignment or reactor-internal function |
| How much | 1 kg net mass of accepted finished part |
| How well | Conforms to the declared drawing revision, material specification, safety classification, dimensional and other critical-characteristic acceptance criteria, with complete manufacturing and inspection traceability |

| reference_flow_link | The accepted net product mass reported by final_reactor_part is normalized to exactly 1 kg |
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reference amount | 1 kg |
| Reference product flow | Finished nuclear-reactor part (Tiangong UUID unresolved) |
| Reference flow property | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 |
| Reference unit group | Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66 |
| Reference unit | kg |
| Required qualifiers | part designation and drawing revision; reactor type and intended application; safety class or declared non-safety classification; material grade and forging specification; manufacturing route and special-process status; acceptance criteria and release status; net-mass basis; manufacturing site, geography and reference period |
When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in Required qualifiers must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data package field. Missing required qualifiers make the reference flow definition incomplete for that data package.
4. Measurement and Unit Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
reference_net_mass | reference product and mass-normalized inventory | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | kg | Use accepted net part mass after final cleaning and inspection. Exclude transport packaging, temporary fixtures, test media and rejected parts from the reference amount. |
electricity_energy_conversion | all electricity rows | Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | MJ | Preserve meter readings and the electricity supply context. Convert kWh to MJ using the exact identity 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ and disclose the conversion. |
gas_reference_conditions | natural gas and industrial oxygen | Volume 93a60a56-a3c8-22da-a746-0800200b9a66 | m3 | Record metered volume and declare pressure, temperature and dry/wet basis. Do not compare or aggregate volumes reported at incompatible reference conditions. |
water_mass_conversion | process-water rows | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | kg | Prefer measured mass. If only volume is metered, retain the volume record and document the density and reference conditions used to calculate mass. |
material_balance_basis | forging, accepted product and machining scrap | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | kg | Use the same calibrated mass basis and reporting period for received forging, accepted product and low-alloy machining chips; document any other retained, recycled internally or disposed solid material. |
5. System Boundary
The foreground boundary begins when the qualified low-alloy steel forging is accepted at the component manufacturer's gate. It ends when the finished nuclear-reactor part has passed the declared inspection and acceptance plan and is released at the same manufacturer's gate. Upstream production of the forging, purchased energy, gases, water and chemicals is represented by linked background datasets. The foreground includes on-site shaping, machining, applicable thermal operations, cleaning, direct releases, waste generation, non-destructive examination, hydrostatic testing when required, final acceptance and the share of common services physically attributable to the part.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_subdivide_first | shared or multifunctional manufacturing processes | Avoid allocation by subdividing processes or meters so inputs, wastes and direct emissions are assigned to the part and unit operation that caused them. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_physical_driver | common electricity, gas, water, consumables, waste treatment and emissions | When subdivision is not feasible, use a documented causal physical driver such as machine time, metered energy, treated mass or bath loading. Economic allocation is permitted only after subdivision and physical relationships are shown infeasible and the justification is disclosed. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_scrap_separate_output | low-alloy machining chips and other recovered material | Record the actual scrap as a separate waste output at the factory gate. Do not silently subtract its mass, sale revenue or an avoided-primary-material credit from the foreground burdens; any recycling allocation belongs to the declared downstream LCA method. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_rework_and_rejects | rework, rejected parts and destructive-test specimens | Assign measured rework and reject burdens to accepted output from the same reporting period unless a physically separate product system is demonstrated.

| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
dq_product_identity | reference product | Preserve part designation, drawing revision, reactor application, safety class, material heat or lot and accepted release status through all records. | manufacturing dossier and signed release record; iaea-tecdoc-2034; iaea-pub2068 |
dq_special_process_traceability | all special processes | Retain operator and equipment qualification, procedure revision, process parameters, hold or witness points, inspection results and acceptance criteria for each applicable special process. | qualified procedure and personnel records; inspection and test plan; iaea-tecdoc-2034 |
dq_measurement | meters, scales and analytical measurements | Use calibrated equipment within its valid calibration interval and retain raw readings, units, conversions, uncertainty or resolution and anomaly disposition. | calibration certificates, raw logs and QA review |
dq_temporal | foreground inventory | Cover at least 12 consecutive representative months; for one-off or long-cycle parts, cover the complete manufacturing campaign and disclose why it is representative. | production calendar, meter periods and campaign records |
dq_completeness | all included processes | Reconcile BOM, energy, water, consumables, wastes, direct emissions and accepted output. No flow may be hidden in an umbrella row; omitted applicable operations or flows require an explicit gap statement. | mass and energy reconciliations, source-register review and gap log; eu-pef-2021-2279 |

System boundary rules · 4
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
system_boundary_rule_1 | foreground_system_boundary | The foreground boundary begins when the qualified low-alloy steel forging is accepted at the component manufacturer's gate. It ends when the finished nuclear-reactor part has passed the declared inspection and acceptance plan and is released at the same manufacturer's gate. Upstream production of the forging, purchased energy, gases, water and chemicals is represented by linked background datasets. The foreground includes on-site shaping, machining, applicable thermal operations, cleaning, direct releases, waste generation, non-destructive examination, hydrostatic testing when required, final acceptance and the share of common services physically attributable to the part. | |
boundary_factory_gate | foreground system | Include manufacturing and acceptance from receipt of a qualified preform through release of the accepted finished part; exclude reactor-site installation, reactor operation, maintenance and decommissioning. | un-cpc-3-0-structure-2025, iaea-tecdoc-2034, iaea-pub2068 |
boundary_special_processes | shaping, machining, welding, forming, cladding, heat treatment, surface treatment and non-destructive testing when performed | Declare every applicable special process, its site or supplier, qualification status and acceptance evidence. Omission is permitted only with an explicit not-applicable justification for the selected part and route. | iaea-tecdoc-2034, iaea-pub2068 |
boundary_company_specific | bill of materials and foreground manufacturing | Collect company-specific bill-of-material, energy, consumable, waste and direct-emission data for the product and manufacturing processes in scope. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
Allocation rules · 4
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_subdivide_first | shared or multifunctional manufacturing processes | Avoid allocation by subdividing processes or meters so inputs, wastes and direct emissions are assigned to the part and unit operation that caused them. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_physical_driver | common electricity, gas, water, consumables, waste treatment and emissions | When subdivision is not feasible, use a documented causal physical driver such as machine time, metered energy, treated mass or bath loading. Economic allocation is permitted only after subdivision and physical relationships are shown infeasible and the justification is disclosed. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_scrap_separate_output | low-alloy machining chips and other recovered material | Record the actual scrap as a separate waste output at the factory gate. Do not silently subtract its mass, sale revenue or an avoided-primary-material credit from the foreground burdens; any recycling allocation belongs to the declared downstream LCA method. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_rework_and_rejects | rework, rejected parts and destructive-test specimens | Assign measured rework and reject burdens to accepted output from the same reporting period unless a physically separate product system is demonstrated. Disclose excluded abnormal-event campaigns separately. | eu-pef-2021-2279, iaea-tecdoc-2034 |
