Sealed source requirements may be found in DOE O 231.1, Environment, Safety and Health Reporting, current version. Additionally, requirements for special nuclear material covered under the provisions of the Voluntary Offer Safeguards Agreement and the Additional Protocol between the United States and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) may be found in DOE M 142.2-1, Manual for Implementation of the Voluntary Offer Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol with the International Atomic Energy Agency, current version (DOE O 142.2A). 2. CANCELS/SUPERSEDES. This Order cancels DOE O 474.2 Chg 4 (PgChg), Nuclear Material Control and Accountability, dated 9-13-16. NOTE: Basic Requirements for Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System Reporting and Data Submission, has been incorporated into the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS) User Guide. The NMMSS User Guide can be obtained by sending an email request to nmmss@nnsa.doe.gov. Cancellation of a directive does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual or regulatory obligation to comply with the directive. Contractor Requirements Documents (CRDs) that have been incorporated into a contract remain in effect throughout the term of the contract unless and until the contract or regulatory commitment is modified to either eliminate requirements that are no longer applicable or substitute a new set of requirements. 3. APPLICABILITY. a. Departmental Applicability. This Order applies to DOE elements that have oversight of site and facility management, operations and offices that administer contracts for DOE MC&A programs, including those created after this Order is issued. The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) must ensure that NNSA employees comply with their responsibilities under this DOE O 474.2A http://www.directives.doe.gov/ mailto:nmmss@nnsa.doe.gov 2 DOE O 474.2A 2-7-2023 directive. Nothing in this directive will be construed to interfere with the NNSA Administrator’s authority under section 3212(d) of Public Law (P.L.) 106-65 to establish Administration-specific policies, unless disapproved by the Secretary. b. DOE Contractors. Except for the equivalencies/exemptions in paragraph 3.c., the Contractor Requirements Document (CRD) sets forth requirements of this Order that will apply to contracts that include the CRD (see Attachment 1).

Section 2

(1) The CRD must be included in contracts requiring the access, use, oversight, management and/or operation of accountable nuclear materials at a DOE-owned or -leased facility. (2) The CRD must be included in all radioactive waste management contracts involving transfers of waste containing reportable quantities of nuclear material, including transfers to DOE radioactive waste land disposal sites designated by a “V” Reporting Identification Symbol (V-RIS). The only requirement of this Order applicable to such V-RIS sites is to report to NMMSS the transfer of accountable nuclear material on DOE/NRC Form 741. (3) The CRD must be included in all contracts for management and/or operation of DOE facilities that involve nuclear materials and contain DOE Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clause, Title 48 CFR 952.204-2, Security Requirements. c. Equivalencies/Exemptions for DOE O 474.2A. Existing equivalencies and exemptions must be reviewed to determine applicability under DOE O 474.2A. If applicable, the site must document the review was completed and the equivalency or exemption remains valid through the site management and Officially Designated Federal Security Authority (ODFSA). (1) Equivalencies and exemptions from the requirements of this Order are processed in accordance with DOE O 251.1, Departmental Directive Program, current version. (2) When conditions warrant, equivalencies or exemptions from the requirements in this Order, requests must be supported by a Security Risk Assessment (SRA) or Vulnerability Assessment (VA) when required by the assets being protected, or by sufficient analysis to form the basis for an informed risk management decision, the analysis must identify compensatory measures, if applicable, or alternative controls to be implemented. SRA/VA is in accordance with DOE O 470.3, Design Basis Threat (DBT) Order, current version. (3) Equivalencies and exemptions from safeguards and security requirements within DOE O 474.2A require formal consultation with the Office of Security. The Office of Security will respond to consultation requests within 30 business days from the receipt of the request. DOE O 474.2A 3 2-7-2023 (4) All approved equivalencies and exemptions under this Order must be entered in the Safeguards and Security Information Management System (SSIMS) database. Approved equivalencies and exemptions become a valid basis for operation when they have been entered in SSIMS and documented in the appropriate security plan, MC&A plan, and they must be incorporated into site procedures at that time. (5) Many DOE Safeguards and Security (S&S) Program requirements are found in or based on regulations issued by Federal agencies, and codified in the CFR or other authorities, such as Executive Orders or Presidential Directives. In such cases, the process for deviating from those requirements found in the primary document must be applied. If the primary document does not include a deviation process, the DOE Office of the General Counsel, or NNSA Office of General Counsel if an NNSA element is involved, must be consulted to determine whether deviation from the source can be legally pursued. (6) Exemptions. This Order does not apply to the following: (a) Activities regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or a state under an agreement with NRC, including activities certified by NRC under section 1701 of the Atomic Energy Act.

(5) Respond to nuclear material loss indicators, anomalous conditions, and significant degradations in individual program element or total system performance; and (6) Integrate MC&A with Safeguards & Security and other site programs.FAQ-3 b. General Program Requirements. The program management element of MC&A focuses on the scope and effectiveness of management relative to program planning, policy implementation, and program review to ensure that a graded, cost-effective MC&A program is implemented. (1) The level of resources and personnel necessary to maintain an effective MC&A program are identified and are available to implement and maintain the program. (2) The MC&A program is sufficiently independent of operations. For Category I and II facilities, the MC&A organization must not be subordinate to the operations organization. This is not applicable to Federal oversight functions provided by field elements. FAQ-4 (3) Internal review and assessment and performance testing programs are defined that have elements of schedule, comprehensiveness, conduct, evaluation, reporting, and issues management. (4) Performance goals are established for each defined program element that demonstrate program objectives are met. Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors DOE O 474.2A Page 2-I-2 2-7-2023 (5) Performance testing of system elements is addressed. System elements are defined at each facility based upon mission, operations, and nuclear material. c. Program Administration. (1) Roles and Responsibilities. Each facility is required to define the MC&A program management structure and assignment of duties and authorities. (a) Persons responsible for each MC&A function must have authority to implement their responsibilities. (b) A management official responsible for the control and accountability of nuclear materials must be designated for each facility. For Category I and II facilities, this official must be organizationally independent from operations. (c) A Nuclear Materials Representative responsible for nuclear materials reporting and data submission to the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System must be designated for each facility having a Reporting Identification Symbol. (d) An individual does not have sole authority to oversee, evaluate performance, or audit information for which they are responsible.

Each facility is required to have an MC&A organization with trained and qualified personnel who administer and oversee MC&A functions at the facility. (a) Requirements for MC&A training are established to meet Department requirements (DOE O 470.4, Safeguards and Security Program, current version) and ensure that personnel with MC&A functions are trained and knowledgeable of their duties and responsibilities. (b) Job Task Analyses or equivalent must be performed for each MC&A function. FAQ-5 (c) The MC&A training plan must define required initial training and re-qualification or re-training needs and schedules required for each MC&A function based on job task analyses or equivalent. (d) The MC&A training plan must be reviewed annually and updated as necessary. DOE O 474.2A 2-7-2023 Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors Page 2-I-3

Section 8

(3) MC&A Plan. Each facility must develop, implement and maintain a DOE-approved MC&A plan that describes the MC&A program. The MC&A Plan must be reviewed biennially and updated as necessary. (a) The MC&A Plan provides the safeguards authorization basis for the facility operator and must be approved by the Officially Designated Federal Security Authority. (b) The MC&A Plan must describe how MC&A Program elements are implemented such that they work together to deter and detect theft and diversion of SNM. (c) All credible substitution materials must be identified in the MC&A plan, by material form and type.FAQ-6 (d) All SNM not amenable to measurement must be identified in the MC&A plan, by material form and type. FAQ-7 (4) Implementing Plans and Procedures. (a) Each facility must develop, implement and maintain plans and procedures for MC&A program elements. These plans and procedures must be referenced in the MC&A plan. (b) MC&A personnel must review facility-level procedures to ensure consistency with MC&A plans and procedures. (c) MC&A personnel must review changes to facility operations and procedures for impact to MC&A programs prior to implementation. d. Graded Safeguards. The graded safeguards concept is used to provide the greatest relative amount of control and accountability for the types and quantities of SNM that can be most effectively used in a nuclear explosive device. When other nuclear materials are potentially credible substitution materials for Category I, Category II, and Category III (Attractiveness Levels B and C) SNM, are collocated with SNM, and there is a credible substitution scenario, the items must be under the same MC&A requirements as the SNM, with the exception of reporting credible substitution material to NMMSS, if otherwise not reportable. (1) Special Nuclear Materials. SNM in Table I must be controlled and accounted for as required by Attachment 2, Chapter I of this Order. Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors DOE O 474.2A Page 2-I-4 2-7-2023 Table I. Special Nuclear Materials Material Type Accountable Quantity Weight Field Used for Element Weight Field Used for Isotope Material Type Code Enriched Uranium (U-235) 1 gram total U U-235 20 Uranium-2333 1 gram total U U-233 70 Plutonium-2421 (Pu) 1 gram total Pu Pu-242 40 Plutonium-239-241 1 gram total Pu Pu-239 + Pu-241 50 Plutonium-2382 1/10 of a gram total Pu Pu-238 83 Uranium in Cascades 1 gram total U U-235 89 1Account as Pu-242 (MT 40) if the contained Pu-242 is 20 percent or greater of total plutonium by weight; otherwise, account as Pu-239-241 (MT 50). 2Account as Pu-238 (MT 83) if the contained Pu-238 is 10 percent or greater of total plutonium by weight; otherwise, account as Pu-239-241 (MT 50). 3Account as U-233 (MT 70) if the contained U-233 is 10 percent or greater of total uranium by weight; otherwise, account as U235 (MT 10, 20, or 81). (2) Controlled and Accounted for as SNM in Table II: When separated, Am and Np must be controlled and accounted for as required by Attachment 2, Chapter I of this Order. Table II. Controlled and Accounted for as Special Nuclear Materials Material Type Accountable Quantity Weight Field Used for Element Weight Field Used for Isotope Material Type Code Americium-241**(Am) 1 gram total Am Am-241 44 Americium-243** 1 gram total Am Am-243 45 Neptunium-237** (Np) 1 gram total Np - 82

Section 9

**Americium and Np-237 contained in SNM are not required to be accounted for until separated. If separated, these materials must be controlled and accounted for as SNM. (3) Categorization and Use of the Graded Safeguards Table. (a) The Graded Safeguards Table must be used when determining the attractiveness level and categorization of SNM. MC&A requirements must be applied to SNM according to the category derived from Attachment 2, Chapter I, Table IV, the Graded Safeguards Table in this Order. If roll-up to the derived category has been demonstrated to not be credible per DOE O 470.3, Design DOE O 474.2A 2-7-2023 Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors Page 2-I-5 Basis Threat (DBT) Order, current version, MC&A requirements must be applied to the SNM based on the highest credible roll-up category. (b) Determination of category involves grouping materials by type, attractiveness level, and quantity. Material quantities are element weights for plutonium, americium, and neptunium and isotope weights for uranium-235 (U-235) and uranium-233 (U-233). For the purposes of category determination, quantities of plutonium Material Type Code 40 and Material Type Code 50 are combined and considered as one material type. For the purposes of category determination, quantities of americium Material Type Code 44 and Material Type Code 45 are combined and considered as one material type. The Material Types can be found in Tables I and II. (4) Less Than Accountable (LTA) quantities of SNM. (a) If the less than accountable quantities of SNM are containerized or put in a single shipment that exceeds an accountable quantity, then the total combined quantity must be within the boundaries of a material balance area (MBA) and be included on the facility’s nuclear material inventory. (b) If similar less than accountable items within a location, such as an identified room or building, can cumulatively become an accountable quantity of SNM then an MC&A program must be established. FAQ-8 Sites that possess LTA quantities of SNM must document the technical basis of how this requirement is met in their MC&A plan, if applicable, or alternate document approved by the ODFSA. (5) Rounding. (a) Both element and isotope weights are reported if they round to a reportable unit. In cases where the element is a reportable unit, but the isotope is not a reportable unit, the material is still to be reported, but for the isotope, enter 0 (zero). See Table III for Rounding, below. (b) Quantities reported as shown in Table III for Rounding, below with fractions of one-half or greater of a reporting unit are rounded upwards and fractions of less than one-half of a reporting unit are reported as the number zero (0). Any item that contains nuclear material that rounds to a reportable unit for that nuclear material is accountable. Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors DOE O 474.2A Page 2-I-6 2-7-2023 NOTE: When performing general calculations, do the calculation first before rounding. For software development purposes, sites or facilities may use more significant digits than provided in the tables. Table III. Rounding Quantity Action Equal to or greater than one-half of the reporting unit1 Report to the nearest whole reporting unit Less than one-half of the reporting unit Report as 0 (zero) -round down 1 See NMMSS User Guide for NMMSS reporting units.

(b) Working standards used for calibration must be representative of the type and composition of the material being measured when the material matrix affects the measured values. (c) Measurement equipment and instrumentation must meet precision and accuracy requirements under normal operating conditions. e. Measurement Control. Each facility must develop and implement measurement control programs for all measurement systems used for accountability purposes and obtain random and systematic (accuracy and precision) uncertainties for use in determination of inventory difference control limits and shipper/receiver difference limits of error. A measurement control program must include the following elements: (1) Scales and Balances Program. All scales and balances used for accountability purposes must be maintained in good working condition, recalibrated according to an established schedule, and checked for accuracy and linearity on each day that the scale or balance is used for accountability purposes. FAQ-27 (2) Analytical Quality Control. Data from process measurements must be analyzed statistically to ensure each measurement method meets accuracy and precision targets under normal operating conditions. (3) Sampling Variability. The uncertainty associated with each sampling method, or combination of sampling and measurement method must be determined and maintained on a current basis and validated periodically. The periodicity of this validation should be documented in the MC&A Plan. FAQ-28 (4) Physical Measurements. The uncertainty of volume, temperature, pressure, and density measurements must be determined and validated periodically, as defined in the MC&A Plan. (5) Measurement Control Procedures.

Section 22

(b) Working standards used in a measurement control program must be representative of the type and composition of the material being measured when the material matrix affects the measured values. (6) Statistical Controls. For each measurement method used for accountability purposes control limits must be calculated and monitored and documentation must exist that details how to identify and respond to out- of-control conditions. (a) Control limits must be established at the two-Sigma level (warning limits) and three-Sigma level (alarm limits). If two out of three consecutive data points exceed the two-Sigma level, the measurement system in question must not be used for an accountability measurement until the measurement system has been demonstrated to be within statistical control. If a single data point exceeds the three-Sigma level, the measurement system in question must not be used for an accountability measurement until the measurement system has been demonstrated to be within statistical control. (b) For measurement methods relying substantially on operator technique, control limits must include operator-related uncertainties. (c) Statistical control limits must be monitored to ensure that they are consistent with target uncertainties documented in the MC&A plan or flow-down documents. (d) Sources of measurement uncertainties that are the largest contributors to the LEID for a material balance period are identified. (e) Valid and verifiable statistical techniques must be utilized to determine the total random and systematic uncertainties for each measurement system or sampling/measurement system and to determine control limits, rejection limits, and outlier criteria. f. Bulk Sampling. For each bulk processing operation, a sampling plan must identify where accountability samples are taken. (1) The sampling plan must be based on technical and statistical principles and must account for material type, measurement requirements, and any special process or operational considerations. (2) For each sampling point, the methodology must be qualified by a documented study that evaluates mixing and sampling techniques to ensure that the sample represents the process material. Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors DOE O 474.2A Page 2-I-28 2-7-2023 (3) The sampling plan must specify the sampling procedure, number of samples required, size of samples, mixing times and procedure (when applicable), provisions for retaining MC&A archive samples, and estimates of uncertainties associated with the sampling method. (4) Sampling procedures must be documented and reviewed on a frequency documented in the MC&A plan or flow-down documents, or whenever changes are made to the sampling process or in material type or composition of the material being sampled. 5. PHYSICAL INVENTORY. a. Objectives. (1) The physical inventory, in conjunction with other MC&A elements, ensures that SNM is in authorized locations. (2) The physical inventory program ensures that discrepancies between the physical inventory and the accounting records system are detected and resolved. b. General Requirements. The facility must implement a physical inventory program for SNM to provide assurance that materials are present in their stated quantities and in authorized locations to detect unauthorized removals or discrepancies. (1) The physical inventory program must be documented in the MC&A Plan and/or associated plans and procedures.

Section 23

(2) The physical inventory process includes planning/preparation, conduct, and reconciliation. (3) The facility must develop, maintain, and adhere to procedures to ensure physical inventories are performed. The procedures must define responsibilities for performing inventories and specify criteria for conducting, verifying, and reconciling inventories of SNM. (4) Inventories must be based on measured values except for materials identified as “not amenable to measurement” which may be based on technically justifiable estimates. (5) When other nuclear materials are credible substitution materials for SNM and are collocated with SNM, facilities must inventory substitution materials with the same frequency as the SNM and use inventory measurement methods that can distinguish between SNM and other nuclear material. FAQ-29 (6) Physical inventories of SNM must be conducted at frequencies commensurate with the category and operations conducted in each MBA DOE O 474.2A 2-7-2023 Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors Page 2-I-29 in accordance with Table VII, Physical Inventory Periods or as documented in the MC&A plan. The ODFSA can specify a less or more frequent inventory, based on the scope and nature of processing conducted in MBAs. Table VII. Physical Inventory Periods FAQ-30 Category Processing MBA Storage MBA I 2 months 6 months II 2 months 6 months III 6 months 2 years IV 2 years 2 years (7) Inventory periods for Category I and II storage MBAs may be extended using alternative measures specified in Table VIII and documented in the MC&A plan. Table VIII. Inventory Periods Based on Alternative Measures for Category I and II Storage Locations Alternative Inventory Control Measures1 Inventory Period Formidable barriers 1 year Hazardous environment 1 year Bulk containment 1 year Vault enhancement above baseline requirements 9 months Continuous monitoring of physical or mechanical parameters 1 year General (area-wide) confirmatory measurements 1 year Continuous item observation2 (e.g., video/image, laser surveillance) 2 years Continuous item monitoring2 (e.g., monitoring of serial number, TIDs, movement) 2 years Mass2 (load cell) 2 years Confirmatory measurements2 on individual items (e.g., thermal, gamma, or neutron emission) 3 years Quantitative measurements on individual items May qualify as a continuous inventory2 1When multiple measures are used for storage MBAs, the inventory periods are additive as long as the alternative measures function independently. 2If the measurements are both item- and material-specific and there is a level of confidence that the measurements are correct, the monitoring may qualify as a continuous physical inventory. To be considered a continuous physical inventory, automated measurements must be made on all items on a second-to-second basis. Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors DOE O 474.2A Page 2-I-30 2-7-2023 (8) In processing areas where process controls provide equivalent levels of theft and diversion detection, physical inventories may be performed upon completion of the material campaign. In such cases, the ODFSA must approve the campaign plan. (9) For Category I and Category II processing locations where MC&A Plan approved process monitoring and item monitoring programs independent of operations are in place, the inventory period can be extended to six months. FAQ-31 c. Periodic Physical Inventories.

Section 24

(1) Planning and Preparation. The facility must ensure that the following requirements are met before the physical inventory is conducted: (a) Physical inventory procedures are documented. (b) SNM quantities entered in the book inventory (accountability values) are based on measured values except for materials identified as “not amenable to measurement” which may be based on technically justifiable estimates. (c) The facility is prepared for a physical inventory per the MC&A Plan and/or associated documentation: 1 Bulk materials undergoing processing operations are placed in measurable forms, configurations, and locations. 2 Holdup locations are identified. 3 Materials identified as “not amenable to measurement” may be based on the shipper’s values or technically justifiable estimates. 4 Credible substitution materials collocated with SNM are identified. 5 Statistical sampling plans, if used, are documented in the MC&A plan or flow-down documents. If statistical sampling plans are used for both item identification/ location and verification measurements, the statistical sampling plans must be independent. 6 A physical inventory cutoff time has been established after which there is no SNM movement into or out of the MBA unless otherwise documented in the MC&A plan or flow- down documents.FAQ-32 DOE O 474.2A 2-7-2023 Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors e 2-I-31 (2) Conduct. Physical inventories are performed at the end of a designated inventory period to determine whether or not SNM recorded in the accounting system are present. FAQ 33 All areas in the MBA are assessed to ensure that there are no materials present that are not reflected in the book inventory. The facility must ensure that the following requirements are met during the conduct of the physical inventory: (a) The physical inventory must comprise a comparison of materials physically present in the MBA to the accounting system (book inventory). 1 The physical inventory procedure must utilize trained and qualified two-person inventory teams for conduct of physical inventory. For Category IV MBAs an alternative method can be approved in the MC&A Plan by the ODFSA. 2 The physical inventory procedure must be based on a validation between the book inventory and the physical inventory. This can be accomplished by utilizing a book inventory list generated by the accounting system which is compared to the physical inventory or the physical inventory can be documented during the inventory and then compared to the accountability records. 3 The physical inventory procedure must verify, at a minimum: a Item/container identification numbers and locations b Item/container integrity, where applicable c TID serial numbers and locations, where applicable d TID integrity, where applicable (b) The physical inventory procedure must include performance of a systematic inspection of the entire MBA to ensure all materials are identified. The systematic walk through must include potential storage areas. (c) Verification measurements must be performed on all items that are not intrinsically tamper-indicating or sealed with a TID. For sites that deal with a large number of SNM items without a TID applied, threshold quantities may be established with ODFSA approval and documented in the MC&A Plan. Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors DOE O 474.2A Page 2-I-32 2-7-2023

Section 25

(d) The ODFSA may approve confirmation measurements of two material attributes for SNM items that are not tamper-indicating and not amenable to verification measurement. (e) Holdup inventory must be measured and entered into the accounting system, where feasible, or estimated on the basis of throughput, process data, modeling, engineering estimates, or other technically justifiable factors during periodic physical inventories for facilities with Category I, II, and III quantities of SNM. The method, justification, and supporting documentation must be included in the MC&A Plan and/or associated documents. (f) In lieu of a 100 percent item inventory, a statistical sampling plan may be defined by the facility and approved by the ODFSA. 1 The plan must use the confidence levels and minimum detectable defects as defined in Table IX, Minimum Sampling Parameters for Physical Inventories, unless justified in the MC&A plan and approved by the ODFSA. 2 The population of items in each MBA is stratified as defined in the sampling plan. 3 Acceptance/rejection criteria are established and documented in the MC&A Plan and/or associated documents for both item inventories and measurements. 4 The statistical sampling plan must state how inventories or measurements that fail the criteria are resolved. Table IX. Minimum Sampling Parameters for Physical Inventories Category Confidence Level Minimum Detectable Defect I 95% 3% II 95% 5% III & IV 95% 10% (3) Reconciliation. The physical inventory reconciliation program provides assurance that all SNM has been accounted for and that the facility’s record system reflects the physical inventory. The facility must ensure that the following requirements are met during the reconciliation of the physical inventory with the following activities: (a) Comparison of Accounting System data with physical inventory observed data, as documented in the MC&A Plan. DOE O 474.2A 2-7-2023 Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors Page 2-I-33 (b) Verification that all receipts and shipments were properly documented and reflected in the Accounting System. (c) Calculation of the Inventory Difference (ID) and uncertainty of the inventory difference for SNM material types by MBA. To detect protracted theft or diversion, an ID trend analysis of cumulative IDs over multiple inventory periods must be conducted following each periodic physical inventory. 1 The facility must establish Inventory Difference Control Limits. 2 Control limits for inventory differences must be based on variance propagation using current data. The data should reflect operating conditions for the material balance period of the inventory. Alternatively, other statistically valid techniques may be used but must be justified on the basis of factors such as limited data, low transfer rates, categories, and major process variations. Alternative methodologies must be documented in the MC&A Plan and approved by the ODFSA. FAQ-34 3 Warning limits must be set at plus or minus two standard deviations. The Limit of Error of the Inventory Difference (LEID) is defined as two times the standard deviation of the inventory difference. 4 Alarm limits must be set at 3 times the standard deviation. 5 The ODFSA must establish an LEID performance metric for Category I and II facilities. 6 Assessments of inventory differences must include statistical tests (e.g., tests of trends and biases), and must be applied, as appropriate, to the actual inventory difference on an individual and cumulative basis for each processing Material Balance Area by SNM material type.

Section 26

7 IDs must be evaluated for trends over time using a documented and approved statistical methodology to determine if trend limits were exceeded. Trends exceeding limits must be documented, reported to the Field Element and investigated. (d) The steps for evaluation and resolution of all SNM inventory differences exceeding control limits, including those involving missing items, are documented in the MC&A Plan. Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors DOE O 474.2A Page 2-I-34 2-7-2023 All inventory differences exceeding warning or alarm limits must be documented, reported to the Field Element, and investigated unless the ODFSA approves a threshold limit. Establishment of such threshold limits must be based on facility specific characteristics. FAQ-35 (e) Inventory reconciliation is completed after the inventory taking is complete, and following receipt of all inventory information, measurement data, and sample analyses. 1 Unless approved by the ODFSA, MBA operations must not resume until reconciliation is complete and the inventory difference is within approved control limits. 2 The ODFSA may approve a protocol for release of subsets of the inventory prior to reconciliation of the entire MBA subject to the following controls: a Subsets of inventory subject to release must be formally defined and must belong to a single Subsidiary MBA (sub MBA). b Process Monitoring program must be established and approved by the ODFSA for each subset of inventory subject to release, including all transfers between subsets as applicable. c Release must be contingent upon the fact that process monitoring data for the inventory period does not indicate any unresolved anomalies. d SNM released prior to MBA reconciliation must always remain in a configuration which facilitates analysis and remeasurement until the MBA reconciliation is complete. e Process controls (physical or administrative) must be established to prevent inadvertent release of SNM prior to verification of these release controls. f SNM which are released must remain in their original MBA until reconciliation is complete. g Additional SNM may not be introduced into the MBA until reconciliation is complete. d. Special Inventories. At each facility, management must establish and implement procedures for conducting special inventories. These inventories differ from DOE O 474.2A 2-7-2023 Attachment 2, Chapter I – Federal Employees and Contractors Page 2-I-35 (and 2-I-36) periodic inventories in that they are performed to address objectives that may not include all elements of periodic inventories. Based on the scope, the ODFSA may approve the special inventory to serve as the periodic scheduled physical inventory. Special Inventories may be conducted to support: (1) Routine disassembly of critical assemblies (2) Turnover of primary MBA Custodian duties from one individual to another (3) Resolution of Inventory Differences exceeding established control limits, including missing items (4) Anomaly resolution (5) Request of authorized personnel (6) Transition of contractor responsibility (7) Performance Testing during assessments and surveys e. International Atomic Energy Agency Inventories. Physical inventories performed during International Atomic Energy Agency Physical Inventory Verification may, with the concurrence of the ODFSA, serve in place of a scheduled physical inventory.
