(regulation   9)

  1   Source material, as follows:

  (a)   uranium containing the mixture of isotopes occurring in nature;

  (b)   uranium depleted in the isotope 235;

  (c)   thorium;

  (d)   any of the materials mentioned in paragraphs   (a), (b) and (c) in the form of metal, alloy, chemical compound, ore or concentrate, including monazite, tantalum concentrates and tantalum glass;

but not including:

  (e)   thorium alloys containing less than 1.5% by weight of thorium; or

  (f)   any of the materials mentioned in paragraphs   (a) to (d) when contained in medicinals; or

  (g)   any ore or concentrate:

  (i)   containing less than 0.05% by weight of a material mentioned in paragraph   (a), (b) or (c), or of a combination of those materials; and

  (ii)   not excluded from this paragraph by a list or document formulated by the Minister referred to in regulation   9.

Note:   A list or document mentioned in subparagraph   (ii):

(b)   is a legislative instrument under the Legislation Act 2003 .

  2   Special fissionable material as follows:

  (a)   plutonium - 239;

  (b)   uranium - 233;

  (c)   material containing any of the materials referred to in paragraphs   (a) and (b);

  (d)   uranium containing either or both of the isotopes 235 and 233 if the abundance ratio of that isotope, or the sum of those isotopes, to the isotope 238 is more than the ratio of isotope 235 to the isotope 238 occurring in nature (isotopic ratio: 0.71%);

but not including:

  (e)   plutonium with an isotopic concentration of plutonium - 238 exceeding 80%; or

  (f)   any of the materials mentioned in paragraphs   (a), (b) and (c) when used in quantities of 1 gram or less as a sensing component in instruments; or

  (g)   any of the materials mentioned in paragraphs   (a) to (d) when contained in medicinals.

  3   Other fissionable materials, as follows:

  (a)   americium - 242;

  (c)   curium - 247;

  (d)   californium - 249;

  (e)   californium - 251;

  (f)   compounds, alloys and mixtures of any of the materials to which paragraphs   (a) to (e) apply;

in quantities greater, either singly or in combination, than 0.1 g (or 0.3 g when contained in a sensing component or sensing instrument).
