Safeguards material control and accounting program. Quarterly report, January-March 1979. Volume 2

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5351603

We summarize activity for the quarter January through March 1979 in the Material Control Safeguards Evaluation Program, conducted for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. The computer-assisted methodology for the assessment of Material Control and Accounting (MC and A) systems was completed. Work continues on the full automation and improvement of the System Vulnerability Analysis Methodology (SVAM) and the Structured Assessment Approach (SAA), an alternate, more automated methodology. Current work on the development of assessment methodologies is summarized. Monitor characterization work done in support of the assessment methodologies is described. Work continued in assisting the NRC to develop the MC and A upgrade rule. Other areas of activity are aggregated systems model development and adversary modeling. The DYNSYL chemical simulation code and subroutines have been improved and are discussed, as well as the application of signal processing techniques to measure material loss in the nuclear industry.
