Title: RETIMAC: a real-time material control concept for strategic special nuclear material

Conference · · Nucl. Mater. Manage., v. 4, no. 3, pp. 376-385
OSTI ID:4050772

As one possible means to upgrade licensee safeguards systems, the NRC is exploring a real-time material control concept. The concept incorporates process controls, material containment provisions, and extensive instrumentation. Plants incorporating this concept would be better able to prevent, deter, and detect diversion, and to assure that diversion has not gone undetected. A substantial methods development, evaluation, and preliminary standards development program is under way to develop the basis for future policy decisions. (auth)
