Design Criteria for Vault Automation in Special Nuclear Material Storage
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
Design criteria for safeguards benefits derived for candidate designs of automated special nuclear material storage vault systems are developed. These are based on the safeguards benefit evaluation methodology reported earlier that is used in establishing performance standards for each element of the safeguards functions. Numerical values between 1 and 10 are obtained which minimize the effect of personal preferences or differences in judgment. Specific minimum values for each safeguards function, as well as for the overall safeguards systems, are chosen that constitute the criteria for designing vault storage systems.
