Standard format and content acceptance criteria for the material control and accounting (MC and A) reform amendment: 10 CFR Part 74, Subpart E
Revisions have been made to the material control and accounting requirements for NRC licensees authorized to possess and use a formula quantity or more of strategic special nuclear material. The revisions require timely monitoring of in-process inventory and discrete items in order to detect anomalies potentially indicative of material losses. Timely detection and enhanced loss localization capabilities will be beneficial to alarm resolution and material recovery in the event of an actual loss. This document presents criteria that can be used by the license applicants and the license reviewers in the preparation and subsequent review of plans to be submitted in response to the the Reform Amendment. General performance objectives, system capabilities, process monitoring, item monitoring, alarm resolution, quality assurance, and accounting are addressed. 43 refs.
