1990 update for the applications guide to pedestrian SNM (special nuclear material) monitors

Description: The physical principles of special nuclear material (SNM) monitoring have not changed in the five years since the writing of the Los Alamos report, An Applications Guide to Pedestrian SNM Monitors (AL-10633-MS).'' However, during those years, there has been evidence for the start of significant change in the practice of SNM monitoring. Recently revised Department of Energy orders allow flexibility in selecting material-control measures by addressing both abrupt and protracted theft or diversion… more

Safeguards Effectiveness Evaluations in Safeguards Planning

Description: This paper describes analytic tools we developed to quantify the effectiveness of safeguards against theft of special nuclear material by insiders. These tools help identify vulnerabilities in existing safeguards, suggest potential improvements, and help assess the benefits of these upgrades prior to implementation. Alone, these tools are not sufficient for safeguards planning, since the cost of implementing all suggested upgrades almost always exceeds the available resources. This paper descri… more

Nuclear material safeguards during storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel

Description: The systems and facilities of the US federal waste management system (FWMS) -- managed by the US Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management -- will be subject to the requirements of nuclear materials safeguards. The FWMS will handle both spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level radioactive waste (HLW). For SNF, the FWMS will include acceptance at the power reactor, transportation to the FWMS facilities, conditioning for storage and disposal, monitored retrieva… more
