Sensitive nuclear materials. Nuclear weapons contain fission-energy components fabricated with plutonium, highly enriched uranium (HEU) (uranium containing 20% or more of the isotope uranium-235), or uranium-233. Thus, the safeguards "sensitivity" of materials, equipment, or facilities subject to IAEA safeguards is established in relation to the ready availability of plutonium or HEU, and to the ability to produce and process them.
