Nickel powder and porous nickel metal, as follows-

(a) Powder with a nickel purity content of 99 per cent or more and a mean particle size of less than 10 micrometres measured by the ASTM B.330 standard;

(b) Porous nickel metal produced from materials embargoed by sub-item (a) above except single porous nickel metal sheets not exceeding 930 cm2 intended for use in batteries for civil applications.

Note:

1. Sub-item (b) above refers to porous nickel metal manufactured from nickel powder defined in sub-item (a) above which has been compacted and sintered to form a metal material with fine pores interconnected throughout the structure.

Nuclear-grade graphite, i.e. graphite having a purity level of less than five parts per million boron equivalent and with a density greater than 1.5 g/cm3, except individual shipments of 100 kg or less.

Lithium, as follows----

(a) Metal, hydrides or alloys containing lithium enriched in the 6 isotope to a concentration higher than the one existing in nature (7.5 per cent on an atom percentage basis);

(b) Any other materials containing lithium enriched in the 6 isotope (including compounds, mixtures and concentrates), except lithium enriched in the 6 isotope incorporated in thermoluminescent dosimeters.

(For the deuteride of natural lithium or of lithium enriched in the 7 isotope, see Item A3.).

Hafnium, as follows: metal, alloys and compounds of hafnium containing more than 60 per cent hafnium by weight, and manufactures thereof, except shipments of the above having a hafnium content of 1 kg or less.

Beryllium, as follows: metal, alloys containing more than 50 per cent beryllium by weight, compounds containing beryllium and manufactures thereof, except----

(i) Metal windows for X-ray machines;

(ii) Oxide shapes in fabricated or semi-fabricated forms specially designed for electronic component parts or as substrates for electronic circuits;

(iii) Shipments of 500 g or less of beryllium having a purity of 99 per cent or less, or 100 g or less of beryllium having a purity of greater than 99 per cent, provided shipments exclude single crystals;

(iv) Shipments of 5 kg or less of beryllium contained in compounds with a purity of less than 99 per cent.

Tritium, compounds and mixtures containing tritium in which the ratio of tritium to hydrogen by atoms exceeds 1 part in 1 000, and products containing one or more of the foregoing, except-

(i) Shipments of tritium, compounds, mixtures and individual products containing one or more of the foregoing substances not exceeding 100 curies;

(ii) Tritium contained in luminous paint, self-luminous products, gas and aerosol detectors, electron tubes, lightning or static elimination devices, ion generating tubes, detector cells of gas chromatography devices, and calibration standards;

(iii) Compounds and mixtures of tritium, where the separation of the constituents cannot result in the evolution of an isotopic mixture of hydrogen in which the ratio of tritium to hydrogen by atoms exceeds 1 part in 1 000.

Materials for nuclear heat sources, as follows-

(a) Plutonium in any form with a plutonium isotopic assay of plutonium-238 of more than 50 per cent, except-

(i) Shipments with a plutonium content of one gramme or less;

(ii) Shipments of three effective grammes or less when contained in a sensing component in instruments;

(iii) Plutonium-238 contained in heart pacemakers;
