Materials control techniques are utilized to provide assurance that nuclear materials are being handled properly. In the event that materials are improperly handled or potentially malevolent activities utilizing nuclear materials are initiated, the materials control approach should provide a real-time indication to allow a rapid mitigating response. The appropriate response can range from correcting an inadvertent error to preventing an intentional insider-perpetrated incident. This paper reviews the use of materials control techniques to deter and detect insider malevolence.
