Lessons learned in implementing IAEA safeguards on U.S. excess fissile materials, Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant
Highly enriched uranium (HEU) at the Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant was the initial US excess fissile material to be placed under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards. This presentation describes the setting in which the US offer was made and five lessons learned from that experience which are: Lesson 1--Things may happen quickly; Lesson 2--Facility and supporting areas must provide for need of the IAEA to perform their inspection activities; Lesson 3--Familiarize site personnel with IAEA safeguards; Lesson 4--Prepare for the initial inventory verification; and Lesson 5--Prepare for inspections.
