Procedures for taking a physical inventory;
    (e) Procedures for the evaluation of accumulations of unmeasured inventory and unmeasured losses;
    (f) A system of records and reports showing, for each material balance area, the inventory of nuclear material and the changes in that inventory including receipts into and transfers out of the material balance area;
    (g) Provisions to ensure that the accounting procedures and arrangements are being operated correctly; and
    (h) Procedures for the submission of reports to the Agency in accordance with Articles 60 to 70.

STARTING POINT OF SAFEGUARDS
Article 34
Safeguards under this Agreement shall not apply to material in mining or ore processing activities.

Article 35
   (a) When any material containing uranium or thorium which has not reached the stage of the nuclear fuel cycle described in paragraph (c) is directly or indirectly exported to a non‑nuclear‑weapon State, Australia shall inform the Agency of its quantity, composition and destination, unless the material is exported for specifically non‑nuclear purposes;
   (b) When any material containing uranium or thorium which has not reached the stage of the nuclear fuel cycle described in paragraph (c) is imported, Australia shall inform the Agency of its quantity and composition, unless the material is imported for specifically non‑nuclear purposes; and
   (c) When any nuclear material of a composition and purity suitable for fuel fabrication or for isotopic enrichment leaves the plant or the process stage in which it has been produced, or when such nuclear material, or any other nuclear material produced at a later stage in the nuclear fuel cycle, is imported into Australia, the nuclear material shall become subject to the other safeguards procedures specified in this Agreement.

TERMINATION OF SAFEGUARDS
Article 36
   (a) Safeguards shall terminate on nuclear material subject to safeguards under this Agreement, under the conditions set forth in Article 11. Where the conditions of that Article are not met, but Australia considers that the recovery of safeguarded nuclear material from residues is not for the time being practicable or desirable, Australia and the Agency shall consult on the appropriate safeguards measures to be applied.
   (b) Safeguards shall terminate on nuclear material subject to safeguards under this Agreement, under the conditions set forth in Article 13, provided that Australia and the Agency agree that such nuclear material is practicably irrecoverable.

EXEMPTIONS FROM SAFEGUARDS
Article 37
At the request of Australia, the Agency shall exempt nuclear material from safeguards, as follows:
    (a) Special fissionable material, when it is used in gram quantities or less as a sensing component in instruments;
    (b) Nuclear material, when it is used in non‑nuclear activities in accordance with Article 13, if such nuclear material is recoverable; and
    (c) Plutonium with an isotopic concentration of plutonium‑238
