The theoretical underpinnings of sequential material unaccounted for minus the difference statistic ((MUF-D)) analysis are developed. Methodologically, procedures applicable to sequential MUF data can, in many cases, be adapted to the (MUF-D) problem. Detection of protracted falsification is illustrated in a system study of a modern, state-of-the-art mixed oxide fuel fabrication facility. 12 refs., 2 figs., 7 tabs.
