The production, processing, procurement, storage, and disposal of nuclear materials usually involve the expenditure of large sums of money and long lead times. Advance information that affects these activities can be used to plan the future complex configuration, obtain required authorization and funding, optimize facility operations, and minimize costs. The objective of the nuclear materials forecasting system is to develop information that will be used to accomplish these objectives. Forecasts identify and quantify: the need for new nuclear material for program use; the return of unneeded usable and unusable nuclear materials (such as scrap and spent fuel) for processing, storage, disposition as waste or discard for future disposition as waste; the transfers of nuclear materials between projects; nuclear material losses that result from processing, irradiation, decay, testing, and discards; and projected inventories. The field offices are responsible for preparation of the nuclear material forecasts. 2. PREPARATION AND TIMING OF FORECASTS. a. Field Offices annually, by 2-15, shall provide Headquarters program organizations and the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management with a forecast prepared in accordance with Attachment 1-1 for each existing, authorized, and contemplated user project having or needing nuclear materials during the current and next 11 fiscal years. Forecasts are applicable to weapon and nonweapon research and development projects, and production and nonproduction reactor user projects. Forecasts should be based on Headquarters guidance and reflect program require- ments that are firm or highly probable. The Oak Ridge Operations Office forecasts shall include enriched uranium that will be provided by DOE to foreign and domestic customers during the next two fiscal years. b. Headquarters Programs. (1) Headquarters programs annually, by 11-1, shall provide guidance to the field offices for nuclear material requirements forecast preparation. Guidance should consider planned operations, deployment, or testing activities involving nuclear materials.

Section 9

(2) Headquarters programs shall review and evaluate the forecasts for their respective programs that have been prepared by field offices and annually, by 3-1, provide the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management with a consolidated copy of their approved forecast with appropriate comments. I-2 DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 c. Office of Nuclear Weapo ns Management will consolidate DOE-wide nuclear material forecasts and annually, by 4-1, provide the applicable field offices with summaries of forecast withdrawals and returns for use in preparing their materials management plans (Chapter II). In addition, the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will use the approved forecasts for issuing applicable nuclear material allotments (Chapter IV), and for preparing the DOE Materials Management Plan. DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 Attachment I-1 Page I-3 PROCEDURES FOR PREPARING FORECASTS 1. GENERAL. a.

Assay ranges for withdrawals will be interpreted as meaning that any material within the indicated assay range is acceptable. Materials with only slight differences in assay (e.g., one percent U-235, Pu-240, or Pu-238) may be combined and reported as a single quantity with a single weighted average or major assay. Small quantities of materials that individually are less than a reportable quantity may be combined as a single quantity with a single weighted average assay. Weight percent should be shown for entries identified as burnup, losses, and expended in nuclear tests (entry type code 7). For material consumed in a reactor, enter the weight percent of the material loaded into the reactor before Irradiation. Assays should be “right adjusted”, i.e., entries start at right and work left. A range of 5 to 50 ppm U-232, for example, would be shown as: 5 5 0 For weight percent, the right-hand column is used for tenths of a percent, g. Block 19.

DOE 5660.1B Attachment I-1 5-26-94 FORECAST OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL REQUIREMENTS Page I-10 DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 II-1 CHAPTER II MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLANS 1. PURPOSE. To provide guidelines for the uniform preparation of the field office Materials Management Plans which are used by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management for the preparation of the DOE-wide Materials Management Plan and strategic management plans for specific nuclear materials. 2. GENERAL. A key component of any management system is the planning function. Planning in nuclear materials management is particularly important because of the strategic value of the materials and the high costs of producing, processing, storing or disposing of the materials. Within DOE, the plans for managing nuclear materials are formalized annually in the DOE Materials Management Plan and other strategic management plans. The DOE Materials Management Plan provides an analysis of the nuclear materials available and the projected requirements over the n-year planning period (beyond the current fiscal year). It presents plans for the management of nuclear material reserves and other inactive materials, and addresses issues requiring management attention by Identifying risks and options that could affect nuclear materials management. The DOE Materials Management Plan is the only document that combines user and supply project requirements and identifies the total demand for nuclear materials. The DOE Materials Management Plan also addresses other nuclear materials-related considerations such as the need for new production capability, shipping, storage, processing and manage- ment problems.

Section 13

3. FIELD OFFICE MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLANS a. Content and Responsibilities. Field offices shall prepare Materials Management Plans containing the following information, as applicable: (1) Projections of nuclear materials inventories and transactions for each “supply” project for which the field office is responsible. The following data shall be provided for each supply project for each of the 11 fiscal years of the designated planning period: (a) Beginning Inventory; (b) Receipts (identify other party); (c) Removals (identify other party); and (d) Ending Inventory. II-2 (2) (3) (4) Projections of nuclear material inventories and transactions for user projects involving weapon production or nuclear materials production activities. This requirement is applicable to any field office having programmatic responsibility for weapon production or nuclear materials production. The following data shall be provided for each project for each of the 11 fiscal years of the designated planning period: (a) Beginning Inventory; (b) Receipts (identify other party); (c) Removals (identify other party); and (d) Ending Inventory. Specific site issues related to nuclear materials production, processing, storing, and management activities. Typical issues would be: need for nuclear materials storage capability; impact of lack of acceptable shipping containers; need to maintain DOE nuclear materials processing/conversion capability to meet current or future needs or for long-term safe storage; and ways to minimize nuclear material wastes. A list of nuclear materials management and related analytical studies being performed or completed during the previous year by the field office or its contractors. The title and a brief abstract of each study should be included. b. Schedule. The field office Materials Management Plan shall be provided annually to the Office of Nuclear-Weapons Management by 6-15. c. Materials Reported and Units. Materials and units to be included in the Materials Management Plans, unless otherwise authorized by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Material Enriched Uranium Plutonium Uranium-233 Heavy Water (D20) Plutonium-238 Tritium Normal Uranium Neptunium-237 Management, are as follows: Component Reported U-235 isotope Total Pu (Wt.% Pu-240) U-233 (PPM U-232) D20 equivalent Pu-238 (% Pu-238) Tritium Total U Np-237 isotope Reporting Unit (Nearest) kilogram kilogram kilogram kilogram gram gram metric ton kilogram 31f the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management delays in providing planning assumptions and the nuclear materials withdrawals and returns summaries for use in the field office Materials Management Plan (see paragraph 3e below), the field office Materials Management Plan may be delayed an equivalent number of days. DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 DOE 5660.1B II-3 (and II-4) 5-26-94 d. e. 4. DOE Assumptions. Each Materials Management Plan should contain the important assumptions used to develop projections for materials supply or user project inventories and transactions. Coordination. Annually, by 4-1, the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will provide field offices with planning assumptions and applicable nuclear materials withdrawals and returns summaries (developed from field office requirements forecasts (Chapter I)) for use in preparing the field office Materials Management Plan. Because resultant processing schedules developed by one field office may be needed by another field office for use in developing its Materials Management Plan schedules, it is important to coordinate such schedules between field offices at the earliest possible date so that the Materials Management Plan preparation date can be met by all organizations.

Section 14

MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN. Annually, by 9-30, the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will prepare and issue the DOE Materials Management Plan. It will be based on information from nuclear material requirements forecasts (Chapter 1), field office Materials Management Plans, the latest Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Plan approved by the President, and information developed from nuclear material strategic management plans. The DOE Materials Management Plan will be provided to appropriate DOE organizations and other Government agencies as a comprehensive analysis of nuclear materials supply-demand during the next n-year planning period together with important nuclear materials management issues. III-1DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 CHAPTER III ANALYTICAL STUDIES 1. 2. 3. 4. GENERAL. Analytical studies are an important component of the DOE's nuclear materials management program. Studies can provide valuable planning information needed in the decision-making process associated with the production, processing, utilization, storage, or disposition of nuclear materials. Analytical studies take the form of complex computer models or simple paper exercises. In view of current DOE emphasis, study analysis should include costs and impacts associated with full compliance of all applicable environment, safety, health and waste management requirements, both from the short-term and long-term management aspects. PROCEDURES. Major steps involved in the development and use of analytical studies are as follows: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. Define the scape and objective(s) of the study.

One element of the nuclear materials management program is the distribution of nuclear materials to user programs. A key component of that activity is the nuclear materials allotment control system. 2. ALLOTMENTS. a. Terminology. An allotment is the quantity of a nuclear material allocated annually to a field office for a user project for which the field office has been assigned program management responsibility by a Headquarters program. The terms that describe an allotment are “withdrawals” and “returns”. Categorization of material transactions depends on the type of project involved in the transaction and whether the transaction is considered by the shipper or receiver of the nuclear material.

Section 16

(1) Types of projects are:4 (a) User Projects. Projects that use nuclear materials for research and development, production and nonproduction reactors, and weapon production activities. (b) Supply Projects. Nonuser projects that produce, process, or store nuclear materials for distribution to user projects. "E” and “M” projects are considered supply projects. (c) Special Projects. Projects under the program management control of the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management, but do not include user projects. Special project materials are identified with an “I” project number or other project numbers established by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. (2) Allotments are categorized as follows: (a) Withdrawals. Receipt of nuclear material by a user project from a supply project. (b) Returns. Removal of nuclear material from a user project to a supply project. 4The Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System report T-141 “Project Number-Title Index by Programmatic Field Office” identifies user, supply, and special projects. IV-2 DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 b. Issuing Allotments. The Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will issue nuclear materials allotments (for materials identified in Figure VIII-2), by project, to each field office before the beginning of the fiscal year. Allotments will cover one fiscal year without carryover to the subsequent fiscal year. The Oak Ridge Operations Office allotments will include foreign and domestic withdrawals of enriched uranium to be provided by DOE, rather than the United States Enrichment Corporation. The field office receiving the allotment should contact the field office. that is to supply the material to arrange for delivery. c. Allotment Control. Each field office is responsible for monitoring, controlling, and reporting the status of its allotments, and for approving all transfers of, materials between projects. (See additional requirement in paragraph d, below.) d. Transfer Approvals. All withdrawals and transfers of very highly enriched uranium (94.00% and above U-235) and very low tritium content heavy water (<0.00005 microcuries tritium/milliliter) require prior approval by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. Other transfers will be controlled at the project level by the field offices. From time to time, additional material types or projects may be added that require approval by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management for transfer of materials between projects. This guidance will be identified in the transmittal of the annual allotments. e. Reporting. Each field office shall provide the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management with semiannual allotment status reports that compare actual withdrawal and return quantities with quantities allotted by project. The original allotments and all revisions issued by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management for the year should be shown. The first report, covering the first two quarters of the fiscal year, is due to the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management by 6-1. Brief explanations should be provided if differences of greater than 10 percent are expected for the full year between allotted quantities and those currently projected for the year. The full fiscal year report, due to the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management by 12-1, should explain differences of greater than 10 percent between actual transactions and allotted quantities. Attachment IV-1 shows the format to be used for the allotment status reports.

Section 17

f. Allotment Revisions. (1) Withdrawals. Actual withdrawals of nuclear material that exceed allotted quantities must first be approved by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. Requests for increases are to be sent to the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management with a copy to the cognizant Headquarters program. The requests should contain DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 IV-3 (and IV-4) sufficient details to allow a thorough evaluation of the proposed change. If the request is approved by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management and the Headquarters program, the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will issue a revised allotment to the requesting field office and provide a copy to the field office supplying the material. For a decrease to an allotment, notification shall be provided to the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management, with a copy to the cognizant Headquarters program. The Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will issue a revised allotment and notify the applicable field offices of the change. (2) Returns. The Office of Nuclear Weapons Management and the appropriate Headquarters program organization should be notified if projected returns for the year are expected to vary from allotted quantities. Explanations of changes should accompany the notification. The Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will issue a revised returns allotment and notify the field office responsible for receiving and/or processing the return. (3) Excepted Quantities. If total changes in project withdrawals or returns allotments for the year are within the following quantities, allotment revision approval by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management is not required. Enriched Uranium Normal Uranium Uranium-233 Plutonium Plutonium-238 Tritium Heavy Water (D20) Neptunium-237 Excepted Project Quantities Unit 2 kg U-235 10 MT U 1 kg U-233 2 kg Pu 100 gm Pu-238 10 gm Tritium 500 kg D O (Equiv.) 1 kg Np-237 Material Sample Allotment Status Report Chicago Operations Office Through Second Quarter FY 1994 DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 Attachment IV-1 Page IV-5 (and IV-6) DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 V-1 CHAPTER V NUCLEAR MATERIALS INVENTORY MANAGEMENT GENERAL. Nuclear materials are a highly valuable resource that must be considered along with dollars and work force in making decisions based on the total resources to accomplish program objectives at the least cost to the Government. Sound materials management policies minimize nuclear materials stored onsite, or held in user programs, which are not needed for near-term mission accomplishment. Annual assessments of nuclear material inventories are required to evaluate the need for the inventory levels and to determine if the materials are categorized properly. Appropriate indicators for inventory evaluation should be developed and used. REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. a. Field Offices. (1) (2) (3) (4) Establish appropriate inventory management guidelines based on programmatic needs, and review/evaluate contractor inventories on a continuing basis. Ensure that the nuclear materials for which the field office has programmatic responsibility are accurately categorized, e.g., project number, composition of ending inventory, and usage status. Perform formal reviews of contractor nuclear materials utilization and report the findings according to the procedures set forth in Chapter VII. Prepare and provide to Headquarters, by 1-15, an annual assessment of the nuclear material inventories held by contractors, as of 9-30, for which the field office has programmatic responsibility.

Section 18

b. Headquarters Program Organizations. Directors of Headquarters program organizations shall review the annual assessments of nuclear materials inventories submitted by the field offices and approve and/or recom- mend changes in project inventory levels, based on existing and planned program activities, to ensure that appropriate inventory levels and good inventory management practices are maintained. FIELD OFFICE ASSSESSMENT OF CONTRACTOR USE OF NUCLEAR MATERIALS. The following instructions are provided for preparing the annual nuclear materials Inventory assessment report: 1. 2. 3. V-2 a. b. c. DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 Inventory Date. The assessment shall cover nuclear materials on inventory as of 9-30. Reporting Responsibility. The assessment should cover nuclear materials under all user and supply projects for which the field office has programmatic responsibility or, in the case of nuclear materials or weapons production operations, contract administration responsibility. This responsibility is identified by the prefix in the alphanumeric project number used to identify all DOE program nuclear materials. Onsite “M” and “E” project materials should be included in the assessment. Materials with “I” project numbers are excluded from the assessment report. Material to be Reported. The following table shows the nuclear materials to be included in the annual inventory assessment reports along with project quantities below which no explanations are required: Material Type Enriched Uranium Plutonium Uranium-233 Heavy Water (D20) Plutonium-238 Tritium Normal Uranium Depleted Uranium Plutonium-242 Americium-243 Curium Americium-241 Berkelium-249 Californium-252 Lithium-6 Neptunium-237 Thorium Reporting Unit kg U-235 kg Pu kg U-233 kg D20 equiv. gm Pu-238 gm Tritium MT U MT U gm Pu-242 gm Am-243 gm Cm kg Am-241 µgm Bk-249 µgm Cf-252 kg Li-6 kg Np-237 kg Th Project Exempt Quantities 2 kg 2 kg 1 kg 500-kg 100 gm 10 gm 10 MT 10 MT 100 gm 1 gm 1 gm 1 kg 1 µgm 1 µgm 2 kg 1 kg 1000 kg d. Analysis Format. Assessments submitted to Headquarters should summarize inventories by individual projects with explanations using the following categories: (1) Active Material Material that is actively used in DOE user p r o g r a m s . DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 V-3 (and V-4) e. f. g. (2) (3) Inactive Material - Defined Use Material not in active use, but held for probable future use in an identifiable DOE program within the next 2 years or being held in designated reserves for probable future use beyond 2 years. Inactive Material - No Defined Use. Material not in active use or needed for an onsite DOE program now or in the next 2 years. Includes material that is surplus to projected needs but is desirable for retention, but does not include reserves designated for specific purposes. In addition, the assessments shall include composition of ending inventory data codes with the material quantities. Source of Data. The quantities of nuclear materials contained in the assessment reports should be consistent with that reported to Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System. Reports are available from Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System that show the project inventories, inventory composition, assays, etc.

Section 19

Assessments. The explanations should contain sufficient information to allow determination as to whether inventory levels are reasonable relative to programmatic objectives and established inventory guidelines, where applicable. Merely restating composition of ending inventory categories is not adequate. A major consideration in assessing inventories, associated with processing operations, fabrication operations, reactor operations, and scrap processing operations, is the rate of inventory use, throughput, or turnover. The circumstances related to all inactive usable materials should be clearly identified, as well as the rationale for continued storage, and the final disposition plan, if known. Information, such as problems in disposing of scrap, irradiated fuel (“I” project material excluded) or other excess material should be specified. In effect, the assessment is not merely a look at the inventory at a point in time but includes plans in terms of quantities and timeframe to make the review dynamic in nature. Significant recent materials management activities, such as the reduction in inventory levels, should be reported. Timing. The annual field office inventory assessment report is due to the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management (with copies to the appropriate Headquarters programs) by 1-15. Headquarters program comments on the field office submissions should be forwarded to the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management by 1-31. DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 VI-1 1. 2. CHAPTER VI INACTIVE MATERIALS GENERAL. The management of inactive nuclear material has as its primary objective the prompt return of material to the DOE supply inventory after it is no longer needed by the user program. The management process includes: early determination that the material is inactive; proper characterization of the material as to quantity and chemical and physical composition; identification of programs that can use the material in its existing form; processing of materials, if needed, for long-term safe storage or distribution to user programs; and the availability of acceptable facilities for long-term storage. REQUIREMENTS. a. Usable Inactive Nuclear Materials. (1) "M" Project Numbers. Field offices shall assign an “M” project number to usable inactive nuclear material returned from user projects for which they have programmatic responsibility. The establishment of “M” project numbers must be approved in advance by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. Nuclear material transferred from a user project number to an “M” project number is considered a ‘return” for allotment purposes (see Chapter IV). (2) Inactive Materials Bulletins Field offices will issue Inactive Materials Bulletins to other field offices and the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management, to notify potential users of the availability of usable inactive nuclear materials. Inactive Materials Bulletins should contain descriptive information on the nuclear material, including quantity, assay, and chemical and physical form. (3) Requesting Usable Inactive Materials Field offices that have contractors that are interested in obtaining nuclear materials listed in an Inactive Materials Bulletin should contact the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management with details of the planned use for the material. If justified, the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management will authorize transfer of the material. Nuclear material obtained by a user program from an “M” project number is considered a “withdrawal” for allotment purposes (see Chapter IV).

Section 20

(4) Transfers of “M” Project Materials . Nuclear material with an "M“ project number retains its “M” designator, irrespective of location, until transferred to a user program, a supply project, VI-2 (5) (6) DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 or the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management for management. “M” project material may not be transferred, shipped offsite, or processed without approval by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. Handling and Storage of "M" Project Materials The field office program which supplies the usable inactive nuclear material that is designated with an “M” project number is responsible for all costs associated with the handling and storage of such material until it is transferred to other user programs or transferred to another site for storage and/or processing and the receiving site assumes management and financial responsibility. Processing "M" Project Materials. Field offices responsible for contractors who process “M” project materials to other product forms shall assign supply project numbers to the processed products. The use of such supply project numbers must be approved in advance by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. (1) Unirradiated Scrap at Sites Without Processing Capability.. . (a) Retention Determination Field offices responsible for programs that generate unusable nuclear material scrap and residues are responsible for determining if the materials should be retained for future processing or discarded. Such determinations should be based on discard methodology or guidance issued by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. If assistance is needed, the appropriate Central Scrap Management Office or the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management should be contacted. If the material is to be retained, the field office shall assign an “E” project number. Normally, this is accomplished by replacing the first character of the project number with an “E". The “E” project identification is retained, irrespective of location of the material, until the material is actually processed for recovery. If the material is to be discarded, disposal must be coordinated with the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management program. Discarded material to be retained in inventory under the program management control of the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management shall be assigned an “I” project number. Discarded material disposed of as waste shall be removed from the accountability system in accordance with DOE 5633.3A, 5633.4, and 5633.5. (b) Handling and Storage of “E” Project Material. The field office program that generates nuclear material scrap and residues which are designated as “E” project material, maintains responsibility for all costs associated with handling, storage, and characterization (if required) of the b. Unusable Inactive Nuclear Materials DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 VI-3 material until it is sent to another site for storage and/or processing, and the receiving site assumes management and financial responsibility. (c) Central Scrap Management Office Activities. The Central Scrap Management Office shall have primary responsibility for arranging for the transfer of “E” project material for processing and/or storage and actual processing of the material. The Central Scrap Management Office shall coordinate these activities with the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management.

Section 21

(d) Processing “E” Project Material. The field office responsible for the contractor that processes “E” project material to an acceptable product form shall assign an appropriate “supply” project number to the product. The use of supply project numbers must be approved in advance by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. (2) Unirradiated Scrap at Sites With Processing Capability. (a) Retention Determination. Field offices responsible for programs that generate unusable nuclear material scrap and residues are responsible for determining if the material should be retained for future processing or discarded. The decision should be based on discard methodology or guidance issued by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. If assistance is needed, the appropriate Central Scrap Manage- ment Office or the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management should be contacted. If the material is to be retained and it will not be processed onsite to a product form within a 2-year period, the field office shall assign it an “E” project number. (Scrap that is expected to be processed within the 2-year period retains its project number and shall be handled according to procedures established by the cognizant field office.) The “E” project identification is retained, irrespective of location of the material, until the material is actually recovered. For material to be discarded, disposal must be coordinated with the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management. Discarded material retained in inventory under the program management control of the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management shall be assigned an “I” project number. Discarded material disposed of as waste shall be removed from the accountability system in accordance with DOE 5633.A, 5633.4 and 5633.5. VI-4 DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 1 Onsite Processing. The field office responsible for the contractor that generates and processes the “E” project material shall have the primary responsibility for arranging and scheduling the processing of the material. Such activities shall be coordinated with the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. 2 Offsite Processing. It may be desirable to process “E” project material at a site other than where generated. In such instances, the field office responsible for establishing the ‘En project should contact the appropriate Central Scrap Management Office for materials disposition arrangements. Central Scrap Management Office responsibilities for this material will be similar to that under paragraph 2b(1)(c), "Central Scrap Management Office Activities." (c) Processing "E" Project Material. The field office responsible for the contractor that processes the “E” project materials to an acceptable product form shall assign appropriate "supply" project numbers to the product. The use of supply project numbers must be approved in advance by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. (3) Unusable Irradiated Nuclear Material. (a) Project Identification . l Field offices responsible for contractors that generate unusable irradiated nuclear material are responsible for assigning ‘En project numbers to the material unless it is scheduled for onsite processing to a product form within 2 years (in which case the material retains its project number) or the material is transferred to the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management. Nuclear material assigned an “E” project number will retain that identification until the material is recovered or transferred to the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management.

Section 22

(b) Processing "E" Project Materials. The field office responsible for the contractor that processes irradiated nuclear material with an “E” project number shall assign an appropriate supply project number to the recovered material if it is processed to an acceptable product form.

VIII-1 CHAPTER VIII MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES 1. CONTRACTOR PARTICIPATION IN NUCLEAR MATERIALS MANAGEMENT. a. b. c. General. In view of the high intrinsic value, strategic importance, and environment, safety, and health considerations, it is necessary that nuclear materials be effectively managed. The degree of responsibility for managing nuclear materials held by DOE contractors or subcontractors is related to the type of contract and the specific contract provisions applicable to nuclear materials management.

Section 26

Management and Operating Contracts. Most of the inventories of nuclear materials are held by contractors under Management and Operating contracts. Generally, these contractors operate DOE-owned facilities involved in materials production, weapons production, and research and development activities. One mechanism for attaining effective materials management in such contracts is through administrative procedures identified either in the contract itself or in related DOE instructions and requirements imposed by the contract. Through these means, Management and Operating contractors should be made aware of the need to manage nuclear materials effectively and to participate with the Department in programs and studies to achieve that objective. Non-Management and Operating Contracts. Basic provisions covering materials management for DOE-owned nuclear materials shall be included in these contracts and subcontracts. 2. PROJECT NUMBERS. a. General. Project numbers are 10-character alphanumeric designations used to identify nuclear materials for tasks or phases of work assigned to a field office by Headquarters programs. Project numbers generally are structured to coincide with the DOE Budget and Reporting Classification System. Thus, they provide a link between nuclear material quantities and related financial data. The first character of the project number identifies the field office responsible for the activity under which the nuclear materials will be held or indicates a special categorization/assignment for the inventory. An assigned project number remains the same regardless of the physical location of the nuclear material. The following are the first character codes currently in use: DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 VIII-2 A1 C D Field Office Albuquerque Chicago Savannah River Oak Ridge Richland Idaho Schenectady Oakland Nevada Pittsburgh DOE 5660.1B 5-26-94 Code Special Category B Uranium Enrichment Activity E Materials Management Program (“E” project material) I Environmental Restoration and Waste Management (“I” project material) M Materials Management Program (“M” project material ) Q Safeguards and Security R International Programs Y Domestic Licensees 1 "A" is also used for the Rocky Flats office projects. 2 "F" is also used for the Fernald office projects. b. Responsibilities. (1) Office of Nuclear Weapons Management. (a) Assist the field offices in developing project numbers, if requested. (b) Review and approve all requests for “M” project numbers and assign them and other special “supply” project numbers, as required.
