3  Nuclear material to which Part II of the Act does not apply
 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 9(c) of the Act, each of the following kinds of nuclear material is nuclear material of a kind to which Part II of the Act does not apply:
 (a) depleted uranium that is contained in:
 (i) counterweights installed in aircraft, other than Australian aircraft, in transit through Australia; or
 (ii) the keels of ships, other than Australian ships, in transit through Australia;
 (b) thorium that is incorporated in:
 (i) an incandescent gas mantle;
 (ii) an electric light bulb;
 (iii) an electronic component;
 (iv) a welding rod; or
 (v) a finished aircraft part;
 (c) source material that is incorporated in:
 (i) the glazing of a finished ceramic product; or
 (ii) an alloy in the form of a finished constructional product, being an alloy the source material component of which is not more than 4% by weight of uranium or thorium;
 (d) source material that is contained in:
 (i) a chemical mixture, compound or solution, or an alloy, in which the uranium or thorium content by weight is less than 0.05% of the weight of the mixture, compound, solution or alloy;
 (ii) a prescribed chemical mixture, compound or solution in a quantity not exceeding 10 kilograms element weight of uranium or thorium; or
 (iii) a prescribed alloy in a quantity not exceeding 10 kilograms element weight of uranium or thorium;
 (e) uranium ore concentrates extracted in Australia and containing not more than 10 kilograms element weight of uranium;
 (f) thorium concentrates extracted in Australia and containing not more than 10 kilograms element weight of thorium.
 (2) In this regulation, a reference to a prescribed chemical mixture, compound or solution shall be read as a reference to a chemical mixture, compound or solution that is not:
 (a) intended for use for the purposes of a nuclear activity;
 (b) of a composition and purity making it suitable for fuel fabrication or for isotopic enrichment; or
 (c) subject to the provisions of the Agency Agreement or a prescribed international agreement.
 (3) In this regulation, a reference to a prescribed alloy shall be read as a reference to an alloy that is not:
 (a) intended for use for the purposes of a nuclear activity;
 (b) of a composition and purity making it suitable for fuel fabrication or for isotopic enrichment; or
 (c) subject to the provisions of the Agency Agreement or a prescribed international agreement.
