Nuclear Software Note (NSN)

"(This note overrides any control within section D of Category 0) Section D of Category 0 of this list does not control "software" which is the minimum necessary "object code" for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of those items whose export has been authorised. The approval of goods for export also authorises the export to the same end-user of the minimum necessary "object code" for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of the goods. Note: The Nuclear Software Note does not release "software" specified in Category 5, Part 2 ("Information Security").

Nuclear Technology Note (NTN)

"(To be read in conjunction with section E of Category 0.) The "technology" directly associated with any goods controlled in Category 0 is controlled according to the provisions of Category 0. "Technology" for the "development", "production" or "use" of goods under control remains under control even when applicable to non-controlled goods. The approval of goods for export also authorises the export to the same end-user of the minimum "technology" required for the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the goods. Controls on "technology" transfer do not apply to information "in the public domain" or to "basic scientific research".
