This paper describes the results of Value-Impact analysis for the proposed material control and accounting upgrade rule for Category I fuel facilities. The analysis uses the Aggregated Systems Model (ASM), one of several assessment methodologies developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) under the auspices of the NRC's Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research, to evaluate safeguards decisions. The evaluations are based on data gathered from representative facilities processing special nuclear material (SNM). The paper focuses on an objective of the MCandA upgrade rule of having a 90 percent probability of detecting within 24 hours any large discrepancy of SNM. 3 refs.
