Implementation of MC&A performance testing at the Savannah River Site

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10169118

This paper describes the implementation of material control and accountability (MC&A) performance testing requirements at the Savannah River Site. Department of Energy (DOE) Order 5633.3A, CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS, provides selected MC&A elements requiring performance testing as well as the minimum performance requirements. MC&A Performance Testing Programs must also meet the requirements of DOE Order 5630.16A, SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY ACCEPTANCE AND VALIDATION TESTING PROGRAM. This paper describes how WSRC MC&A is implementing requirements from both 5633.3A and 5630.16A within the MC&A Performance Testing Program, and how the MC&A Program fits into the site wide SSAVT Program. This paper will also describe the collaboration of MC&A testing with security testing and vulnerability analysis testing to eliminate redundancy and enable the applicable requirements to be met in a cost effective manner.
