Inventories are stated at cost or net realizable value, whichever is less, broken down as follows:
a) Uranium concentrate and ongoing services (for the transformation of the uranium concentrate into nuclear fuel elements) are recorded by their cost of acquisition;
b) Nuclear fuel elements—are available in the core of the reactor and the Used Fuel Pool inventory (PCU) —allocated to the reults for the year on the basis of their use in the electricity generation process;
