Status of Activities to Implement a Sustainable System of MCA Equipment and Methodological Support at Rosatom Facilities

摘要

Under the U.S.-Russian Material Protection, Control and Accounting (MPC&A) Program, theMaterial Control and Accounting Measurements (MCAM) Project has supported a joint U.S.-Russian effort to coordinate improvements of the Russian MC&A measurement system. Theseefforts have resulted in the development of a MC&A Equipment and Methodological Support(MEMS) Strategic Plan (SP), developed by the Russian MEM Working Group. The MEMS SPcovers implementation of MC&A measurement equipment, as well as the development,attestation and implementation of measurement methodologies and reference materials at thefacility and industry levels. This paper provides an overview of the activities conducted under theMEMS SP, as well as a status on current efforts to develop reference materials, implementdestructive and nondestructive assay measurement methodologies, and implement sampleexchange, scrap and holdup measurement programs across Russian nuclear facilities.
