Georgia: Fissile Material Table
This is an archived page. Please visit the new Georgia country profile

The following table provides information on highly enriched uranium and
separated plutonium stockpiles at sites in Georgia. Because of
uncertainties in Russian and other NIS fissile material inventories, these
tables are not exhaustive.
For HEU, the mass of U-235 is listed along with the enrichment. When only an
aggregate amount of HEU with various enrichments is known, the total weight of
the HEU inventory is listed. The table includes stocks of fresh fuel or fuel
currently loaded in reactors. Spent fuel is not included.
