Subject to the foregoing, a cost is allocable if:
(1) It is incurred solely for materials or services sold;
(2) It benefits both the customer and the Department in proportions that can be approximated through use of reasonable methods, or
(3) It is necessary to the overall operation of the Department and is deemed to be assignable in part to materials or services sold.
(b) Byproduct material means any radioactive material (except special nuclear material) yielded in or made radioactive by exposure to the radiation incident to the process of producing or utilizing special nuclear material.
