Activity for the quarter October-December 1979 in the Material Control Safeguards Evaluation Program, conducted for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is summarized. Progress was made in developing the automated safeguards assessment tool called the Structured Assessment Approach (SAA) Program, giving particular attention to enhanced collusion analysis. Work has continued on the development of the Aggregated Systems Model (ASM) in support of the NRC development of MC and A upgrade regulations, and we include Value-Impact analyses of alternative safeguard rules, a first-cut safeguards cost model, and a study of the impacts of MC and A regulations on licensees. The report concludes with a description of more in support of the MC and A upgrade rule development, which is our evaluation and critique of the current NRC material accounting regulations, an attempt to identify inherent vulnerabilities. 8 refs., 1 fig.
