OSTI ID:6952502

This section describes the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS) and discusses, briefly, its theoretical capabilities. Despite the number of other documents that describe NMMSS, this section is included to describe the way that data are entered, stored, and processed by application programs within NMMSS to produce reports. Previous NMMSS descriptions have either been so general that they do not explain the operation of the system in sufficient detail to provide a solid understanding of its capabilities and limitations, or they have been so microscopic that the discussion of edit checks and authority file elements tended to obscure the major facets of system operation. This description is intended to fill this void by presenting a brief overview followed by a discussion of system operation and capabilities that is adequate for an overall understanding of NMMSS uncluttered by minutiae.
