A munition under urgent NAR becomes waste at which point?

• A. When delivered to operator
• B. As soon as the Urgent NAR is issued
• C. Upon disposal
• D. When stored

Answer: (B)

When a munition is placed under urgent NAR, it becomes waste at the moment the Urgent NAR is issued. That notice is a formal declaration that the item is no longer authorized for use and must be managed as waste, triggering the disposal process and related regulatory controls immediately. The item is not yet considered waste merely by delivery to an operator, by storage, or only at the time of disposal—the urgent NAR itself designates the change in status right away, so handling shifts from potential use to disposal.
