OSTI ID:6907556

Paragraph 70.51(e) of 10 CFR Part 70 requires certain NRC licensees authorized to possess special nuclear material to calculate material unaccounted for (MUF) quantities and their associated statistical limits of error (LEMUF) as part of their material control and accounting procedures for use in assuring that special nuclear material in their possession is accounted for. Paragraph 70.53(b)(1) requires that a report be made to the Commission if any single MUF exceeds its associated LEMUF and certain specified quantities and that the report include a statement of the probable reasons for the MUF and actions taken or planned. This guide identifies methods acceptable to the Regulatory staff for evaluating the statistical significance of observed MUF values.
