Quality Control

All material is produced and handled under the strictest quality assurance protocols, adhering to international nuclear safety and non-proliferation standards (e.g., IAEA guidelines). Each batch is characterized for isotopic composition (U-235 enrichment level), chemical purity, and physical form to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Comprehensive documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic assay and impurity profiles, is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, specially designed container, protected from all light exposure and stored under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Store in a dedicated, secure, and shielded facility at a controlled ambient temperature (15-25°C). All storage and handling must comply with national and international regulations for special nuclear material, including robust physical security, criticality safety, and radiation protection measures.
