### sec.4 Radioactive substance— Act , sch 2
For schedule 2 of the Act , definition radioactive substance , paragraph (b) , the following radioactive material is prescribed to be a radioactive substance—
radioactive material (other than radioactive material that is a mineral substance) containing a radionuclide mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1, if both of the following apply—
the concentration of the radionuclide is equal to or more than the concentration stated opposite the radionuclide in column 2 of the schedule;
the activity of the radionuclide is equal to or more than the activity stated opposite the radionuclide in column 3 of the schedule;
radioactive material that is a mineral substance containing a radionuclide mentioned in schedule 1 , column 1, if the concentration of the radionuclide is equal to or more than the concentration worked out by multiplying the concentration stated opposite the radionuclide in column 2 of the schedule by 10.
In this section—
mineral substance means—
a mineral, other than a mineral situated within the boundaries of land the subject of a mining lease, mineral development licence or exploration permit within the meaning of the Mineral Resources Act 1989 ; or
a substance into which a mineral has been changed as a result of the processing of the mineral.
the refining, smelting or calcining of a mineral
