Major in-house activities related to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) physical protection of nuclear material in transit program included (1) completion of the computer coding for the user's version of SOURCE and a draft of the SOURCE model description, (2) near completion of the development of the interactive version of SABRES II, which includes subroutines to simulate movement during combat, and (3) development of the Emergency Assistance Request Simulator (EARS), which will be a user-oriented code to model candidate communication systems for the transportation of special nuclear materials (SNM). Contractual support during this quarter was provided by SRI International and Science Applications, Inc. (SAI). The (SRI) effot to provide weapon characterization data from representative types and calibers of sporting rifles, assualt rifles, machineguns, submachineguns, shotguns, and handguns was completed during this quarter and a final report is being prepared. SAI is under contract to model the communications systems for transporters of SNM. During this quarter, Tasks II and III of this five task contract were completed; a report on these tasks is under classification review by Sandia personnel. 19 figures.
