Loss Detection and Alarm Resolution in Processing Special Nuclear Material

摘要

Objective is to outline the major features of two prompt detection and alarm resolution systems designed under the proposed NRC material control and accounting (MC and A) Reform Amendment. Detailed studies were conducted to NRC to ascertain whether loss detection and alarm resolution systems meeting the requirements of this proposed amendment could be designed for current nuclear material processes. Some of the general results of this study are discussed for two of these processes: mixed oxide fuel fabrication and uranium hexafluoride conversion. (ERA citation 08:011941)
