Morphology

nonnuclear = nuclear (transparent) = non + nuclear

The productive prefix 'non-' simply negates the scientific adjective 'nuclear', giving 'not within the nucleus'.

Etymology

Nonnuclear is non- 'not' plus nuclear, from nucleus meaning 'core' or 'center' of a cell. So nonnuclear describes parts that are 'not inside the cell's center', in other words outside the nucleus.
