Analysis and evaluation of ERDA's Safeguards program has resulted in a marked departure from the traditionally separate roles of (a) materials accountability and (b) security. Integrated safeguards system concepts and designs now integrate the interactive elements of physical protection and materials measurement and control into a common facility-wide safeguards system. Additional needed technology and flexible modules are being identified for incorporation in generic and specific facilities design and demonstration. Using computer models, safeguards effectiveness will be assessed against various credible threat levels and adversary actions. Projected goals and milestones are presented. These cost-effective integrated safeguards systems also benefit process control, product quality assurance, health and safety and criticality.
