V tem sporazumu izraz »posebna jedrska snov« pomeni plutonij in uran, obogaten z izotopom U-235 do 20% ali več. »Druge radioaktivne snovi« vključujejo med drugim radioaktivne vire, primerne za uporabo v napravah za razpršitev radioaktivnih snovi. 2. Tehnična pomoč, ki jo ME zagotovi CURS, lahko vključuje: a. dostavo in namestitev opreme, ustrezno prilagojene pogojem carinskega nadzora (vključno s preizkušanjem, postavitvijo in demonstracijo opreme), v Luki Koper in drugih točkah vstopa/izstopa v Republiki Sloveniji, ki jih pogodbenika skupno določita; b. dostavo kompletov nadomestnih delov, opreme za preizkušanje in druge opreme za vzdrževanje naprav in opreme, ki jih zagotovi ME; c. usposabljanje osebja CURS in drugega ustreznega osebja za odkrivanje posebnih jedrskih snovi in drugih radioaktivnih snovi ter za pravilno uporabo in vzdrževanje opreme, ki jo zagotovi ME; d. dodatna področja sodelovanja, o katerih se pogodbenika lahko pisno dogovorita. 3. Tehnične delavnice, posvetovanja, terenski ogledi ter preizkušanje materiala in nameščene opreme ob prevzemu se lahko izvedejo s skupnim soglasjem obeh pogodbenikov. S soglasjem pogodbenikov se lahko oblikujejo skupne delovne skupine tehničnih strokovnjakov za izmenjavo tehničnih informacij in pripravo predlogov o tehničnih zadevah in usposabljanju, povezanih z učinkovitim izvajanjem tega sporazuma. 4. Določila in pogoji, po katerih se lahko zagotavlja pomoč po tem sporazumu, so določeni v pogodbah ali drugih pisnih dogovorih med ME in MF ali njunimi imenovanimi nosilci izvajanja. Ob kakršnem koli neskladju med temi pogodbami ali drugimi pisnimi dogovori in tem sporazumom prevladajo določbe tega sporazuma. 5. MF ali njegovi imenovani nosilci izvajanja se usklajujejo z drugimi ustreznimi vladnimi agencijami in organizacijami Republike Slovenije, da zagotovijo prednostno obravnavo opreme, materiala, storitev in usposabljanja,zagotovljenih MF po tem sporazumu, tako da se omogočita hitra pridobitev soglasij ter dostava opreme in materiala na njuno končno namembno lokacijo v Republiki Sloveniji. 6. MF ustreznim ministrstvom Republike Slovenije in drugim vladnim agencijam olajša pregled vse opreme in materiala, prejetih po tem sporazumu, in v 10 dneh po njunem prejemu pošlje ME pisno potrdilo o sprejemljivosti take opreme in materiala ter o njuni skladnosti s specifikacijami, ki so bile MF vnaprej dane na voljo. MF tudi potrdi prispetje take opreme in materiala na dogovorjeno namembno lokacijo. Določila in pogoji za popravilo ali zamenjavo neustrezne opreme ali materiala bodo določeni v pogodbah ali drugih pisnih dogovorih, na podlagi katerih sta oprema in material zagotovljena po tem sporazumu.
