The US Department of Energy Office of Security Evaluations (DOE-OSE) conducts independent inspections of DOE facilities using system performance test and performs topical assessments and program evaluations. One purpose of these activities is to assess the effectiveness of DOE's implementation of nuclear material control and accountability (MC A) policies, procedures, systems and operations. This paper provides an analysis of MC A inspection results and ratings compiled from 16 OSE inspections conducted during the period from November 1986 to January 1990. A discussion postulates why some deficiencies are frequently identified. 7 refs., 1 fig.
