Design and evaluation of an integrated safeguards system. Volume I. Principles

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6715217
An integrated safeguards system is defined as a collection of safeguards activities in which system components are coordinated to meet safeguards objectives efficiently within constraints imposed by safeguards resources, facility operations, potential adversaries, and regulatory requirements. This report describes principles for designing and evaluating an integrated safeguards system that consists of four parts: (1) a problem definition phase that specifies resources and constraints composing the problem boundary values, (2) a system analysis/synthesis phase that describes how to select and integrate safeguards activities for efficient attainment of system objectives, (3) a system evaluation/optimization phase that defines measures of safeguards performance and develops methods for evaluating them, and (4) a decision-making phase that develops principles for selecting admissible designs and preference-ordering designs. 58 references, 7 figures, 6 tables.
