5 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY/U.S. NUCLEAR 6 REGULATORY COMMISSION FORMS 742 AND 742C 7

8 9 1 INTRODUCTION 10 11 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 12 jointly sponsor the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS). This 13 system is the U.S. Governments national database used by DOE and the NRC for tracking 14 certain nuclear material.

15 16 Common reporting forms and formats are used to minimize the reporting burden on licensees 1 17 that are required to provide nuclear material data to one or both agencies in accordance with 18 current regulations or contractual obligations. In this manner, licensees can file one report to 19 meet the reporting requirements of both the NRC and DOE. Compliance with specific reporting 20 requirements is monitored by the agency that requires the specific data. NRC regulations 21 require licensees to submit the reports in computer-readable form.

22 23 In addition to the physical inventory reporting requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal 24 Regulations (CFR) Part 74, Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material, as 25 discussed in Section 1.2, licensees may also be required to report to NMMSS all receipts, 26 transfers, and inventory adjustments of U.S. Government-owned, -loaned, or -leased material in 27 their possession that they obtained from DOE. In such cases, licensees shall file DOE/NRC 28 Form 742, Material Balance Report, and DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing, to 29 report quantities of 0.5 or greater of the reporting unit specified in DOE Series 470 orders (DOE 30 Order 470.4, Safeguards and Security Program, and DOE Order 474.2, Nuclear Material 31 Control and Accountability).

32 33 1.1 Material Status Reports 34 35 DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C are the means for submitting reports of material balance and 36 physical inventory listing data to NMMSS. The information must be completed in accordance 37 with the instructions in this NUREG and must be submitted in computer-readable format.

38 NMMSS Report D-24, Personal Computer Data Input for NRC Licensees, issued January 1, 39 2012, provides the instructions for creating the computer-readable submittal.

40 41 Licensees use DOE/NRC Form 742 to report a summary of activity for a specified material 42 within a material balance reporting period, as specified in 10 CFR 74.13, Material Status 1 The term licensee here denotes an NRC or Agreement State licensee or an NRC certificate holder or possessor.

1 NUREG/BR-007, Rev. 8

1 Reports. The report conveys beginning and ending inventory balances; activities such 2 asshipments and receipts involving other facilities; and decay, transmutation, and production 3 calculations. This information is useful for validating a facilitys ending book inventory.

4 Licensees that neither received nor transferred source or special nuclear material (SNM) within 5 a reporting period should still refer to instructions in NUREG/BR-0006, Instructions for 6 Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports, to submit a DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear 7 Materials Transaction Report, to NMMSS to report other transactions that would otherwise 8 change the inventory balance within the material balance period.

9 10 Licensees use DOE/NRC Form 742C to report a facilitys physical inventory listing as of a 11 specified date. For each material type category, the report lists the amount of material in the 12 facilitys possession at the time of the inventory process. The form can show each individual 13 batch or summarize totals of like batches. The totals for each material type category must 14 match the ending balance in the corresponding material balance report (DOE/NRC Form 742).

15 16 NMMSS relies heavily on the quality of the data reported by the facilities involved in nuclear 17 activities. The data submitted to NMMSS are subject to evaluation according to the restrictions 18 placed on nuclear activity by the policies of various governing agencies of the United States.

19 NMMSS receives the data after they are verified by edit checks as acceptable within the 20 restrictions of the system.

21 22 1.2 Regulations 23 24 NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 74.13 requires each licensee who possessed special nuclear 25 material during a material balance reporting period in a quantity totaling 1 gram or more of 26 contained uranium (U)-235, U-233, or plutonium (Pu) to prepare and submit in computer-27 readable format Material Balance Reports (DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C) concerning SNM 28 received, produced, possessed, transferred, consumed, disposed of, or lost. Reporting periods 29 are determined by the quantity of material possessed by the facility. Specifically, 30

  • Licensees subject to the requirements of 10 CFR 74.51 shall compile a report as of 31 March 31 and September 30 of each year, and file the report within 30 days after the 32 end of the period covered by the report.

33

  • Licensees subject to the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 74.19(c)(5), 74.33(c)(4), or 34 74.43(c)(6) shall submit a report within 60 calendar days of the beginning of the physical 35 inventory.

36

  • Licensees reporting pursuant to 10 CFR 75.35 shall prepare and submit material status 37 reports as described in Section 3.2 of this NUREG.

38

  • All other licensees, including those subject to 10 CFR 150.17 shall submit a report no 39 later than March 31 of each year.

40 41 Licensees shall complete a separate DOE/NRC Form 742 and 742C for each material type of 42 SNM and source material for which a reportable quantity is possessed or a reportable inventory 43 change has occurred during the material balance period. For SNM, reportable quantities are 44 defined as 1 gram or more; for source material, the reportable quantity is 1 kilogram or more.

45 For reporting purposes, quantities of 0.5 or more are to be rounded up to the next whole unit. A 46 complete listing of material types is provided in Section 2 of this NUREG.

NUREG/BR-0007, Rev. 8 2

1 In addition, NRC regulations in 10 CFR 40.64 require each licensee that possesses, or that had 2 possessed in the previous reporting period, 1 kilogram or more of uranium or 1 kilogram or more 3 of thorium source material pursuant to the operation of enrichment services, downblending 4 uranium that has an initial enrichment of the U-235 isotope of 10 percent or more, or the 5 fabrication of mixed-oxide fuels shall complete and submit DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C for 6 all activities involving the source material.

7 8 Furthermore, NRC regulations in 10 CFR 40.64(b)(1) require each Federal or State licensee 9 that possessed during a reporting period 1 kilogram or more of foreign obligated source material 10 (material types 10, 81, and 88) to must submit a statement of foreign obligated source material 11 inventory to the NRC. The regulation allows DOE/NRC Form 742 to be used. The reporting 12 period is October 1 to September 30 of each year (unless the NRC authorizes an alternate 13 period).

14 15 Each licensee required to report material balance, inventory, and/or foreign obligation 16 information, as detailed in this part, shall resolve any discrepancies identified during the report 17 review and reconciliation process within 30 calendar days of notification of a discrepancy 18 identified by the NRC. See section 1.5 of this NUREG for additional instructions on 19 reconciliation.

20 21 Possessor of DOE-owned material shall refer to DOE Order 470.4B and DOE Order 474.2 for 22 additional information about reporting inventories.

23 24 1.3 Preparation and Submission of DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C in 25 Computer-Readable Format 26 27 NMMSS Report D-24 provides instructions for preparing DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C in 28 computer-readable format as required for submittal. The Safeguards Management Software 29 (SAMS) program is a facsimile of NMMSS that allows the user to import and export data; do 30 edit checks to complete a quality review; generate various reports; and create material 31 balance, inventory, and transaction data. It has the capability to export data into the required 32 NMMSS predefined computer-readable format outlined in NMMSS Report D-24. The SAMS 33 program may be obtained from NMMSS staff free of charge.

34 35 Licensees can submit data to NMMSS through the following two methods:

36 37 (1) Electronic Data Submission 38 39 Licensees should submit DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C in computer-readable format 40 unless reporting under 10 CFR 40.64(b). NMMSS Report D-24 provides instructions on 41 packaging, data format requirements, acceptable media types, and the mailing address 42 for the submittal of data on computer media.

43 44 Licensees can request a copy of the fillable forms installer kit by e-mailing NMMSS at 45 nmmss@nnsa.doe.gov. These forms can be completed, saved at the licensee site, and 46 submitted to NMMSS at the aforementioned e-mail address. Licensees may also 3 NUREG/BR-007, Rev. 8

1 contact the NRC program manager for questions about fillable forms and electronic data 2 submission by e-mailing the NRC e-mail resource at nmmss.resource@nrc.gov.

3 4 Licensees should adhere to their facilitys encryption policy for transmitting electronic 5 data to NMMSS.

6 7 Licensees may also download data onto electronic media and mail the data to NMMSS.

8 Contact NMMSS staff to confirm the mailing address before submitting mail.

9 10 (2) New or Modified Methods of Transferring Electronic Data 11 12 The NRC may authorize new or modified methods of transferring electronic DOE/NRC 13 Form 742 and 742C data to NMMSS. Licensees may confirm authorization to use 14 additional methods for the transfer of these data by contacting NMMSS staff.

15 16 1.4 Documentation and Distribution 17 18 Licensees must submit the completed DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C to NMMSS in a timely 19 manner. Before licensees submit any data, they should determine whether their submission 20 contains classified information because the specific documentation and distribution instructions 21 depend on whether the completed DOE/NRC Form 742 or 742C contains classified or 22 unclassified information.

23 24 Any DOE/NRC Form 742 or 742C that is classified must be documented and handled in 25 accordance with all pertinent security requirements. All other submissions that are not classified 26 are considered to be proprietary material control and accounting information, and licensees may 27 request that such information be withheld as defined by 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, 28 Exemptions, Requests for Withholding. Each person who is to receive a copy of the report 29 must be verified as a qualified recipient before distribution. Licensees should confirm the 30 address before sending documents to NMMSS or other recipients. In addition, they should 31 formally provide classification guidance to NMMSS after making a decision to classify or 32 declassify a submission or to change previously submitted guidance. When submitting 33 safeguards information, licensees should also submit DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note, 34 and state that the submission is safeguards information and should be handled in accordance 35 with 10 CFR 73.21, Protection of Safeguards Information: Performance Requirements.

36 37 Licensees should do the following when distributing the completed report:

38 39

  • Submit one copy of the completed report and all supporting subschedules and lists to 40 NMMSS. All RIS holders are encouraged to review their RIS point-of-contact 41 information yearly and notify NMMSS that the data are correct or make changes.

42 43

  • Retain one copy for licensee files.

44 45 1.5 Reconciliation 46 47 At the end of every material balance reporting period, a reconciliation shall be performed 48 between reports submitted by the licensee to NMMSS and the projected book inventory that NUREG/BR-0007, Rev. 8 4

1 NMMSS has calculated. This process shall be considered complete when the licensee resolves 2 any differences between the reported and projected balances, including those listed for 3 foreign-obligated materials. 2 The reconciliation should be completed within 30 calendar days of 4 when the licensee was notified of the discrepancy, and it should include all accounts, including 5 holding accounts, held by the licensee.

6 7 Facilities should ensure that their reported weight totals in DOE/NRC Form 742C equal the 8 weight totals in DOE/NRC Form 742 for each material type. The totals in DOE/NRC Form 742C 9 should be an arithmetic sum of the weights listed on the batch data lines of DOE/NRC 10 Form 742C. The totals on DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C should agree with the values 11 maintained and used at the site. However, if reported DOE/NRC Form 742 and 742C values 12 differ from site-maintained values because of issues such as rounding, the site should submit a 13 concise note (DOE/NRC Form 740M) explaining the difference.

14 2 Commercial practices allow a facility to conduct an obligations exchange to meet a contractual requirement.

Obligation exchanges are not meant to circumvent U.S. international agreements for peaceful use and nuclear cooperation with trading partners. Facilities should use special care to avoid a negative obligations balance. NMMSS may report a negative obligations balance for a facility at any given reporting date because of the time delay in reporting shipments versus receipt; however, NMMSS cannot reconcile a facility for a material balance period until the foreign obligations at the facility are balanced.

5 NUREG/BR-007, Rev. 8

1 2 INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING DOE/NRC FORM 742 REPORTS 2

3 Licensees should complete DOE/NRC Form 742 in accordance with the instructions in this 4 NUREG and in NMMSS Report D-24, as appropriate. NMMSS Report D-24 provides 5 instructions and examples for the preparation of required electronic submittals to NMMSS.

26 27 77. INVENTORY DIFFERENCEInventory difference is the difference between physical 28 inventory and book inventory after the book has been adjusted for all receipts and 29 removals. A negative entry reports a gain. A positive entry reports a loss.

30 31 Reactors should not report an inventory difference to NMMSS. At the time of physical 32 inventory, the value assigned to an SNM item (e.g., assembly, rod, fragment, sealed 33 container) should be recorded identically on both the book inventory and the physical 34 inventory. At a reactor, unlike at facilities that process SNM for some end use, 35 adjustments to the values assigned to items (representing factors such as nuclear loss, 36 decay, and production rounding) can be explained and should be reported as such.

37 38 80. ENDING INVENTORYU.S. GOVT-OWNEDEnter the ending DOE-owned inventory 39 as of the end of the last day of the period covered by this report.

1 2.2 Section B, Foreign Obligations 2

3 The total amount of obligated nuclear material in a facilitys inventory as of the end of the 4 reporting period must be accounted for by material type. It may not exceed the total amount of 5 physical inventory (i.e., a negative obligations balance). The NMMSS staff can provide 6 facilities with reports that calculate an obligations balance for an RIS code based on the balance 7 of transactions reported since the last reconciliation date. The NMMSS-calculated report may 8 indicate a negative obligations balance for a facility as a result of the delay in reporting 9 shipments versus receipts; however, NMMSS is not authorized to reconcile a facility for a 10 material balance period until the foreign obligations at the facility are balanced.

11 12 The following column entries are required:

13 14 1. COUNTRY OF OBLIGATIONEnter the unique obligation code for each category of 15 nuclear material. Appendix C to this NUREG lists the codes. The current list of codes 16 can be obtained from NMMSS staff by sending a request to nmmss@nnsa.doe.gov.

21 22 3. ISOTOPE WEIGHTEnter the appropriate isotope weight. For enriched uranium or 23 U-233, enter the weight to the nearest gram of U-235 or U-233, as appropriate. No entry 24 is necessary for plutonium, depleted uranium, natural uranium, or thorium unless the 25 licensees TFA requires such an entry.

26 27 4. TOTAL WEIGHTEnter the totals for columns 2 and 3. These totals represent the total 28 obligated material at the facility. The total weight of obligated nuclear material may not 29 exceed the total element and isotope weight reported on line 82.

30 31 2.3 Section C, Certification 32 33 SIGNATURE, TITLE, AND DATEAn authorized representative of the licensee shall sign the 34 report if the licensee submits it as a hard copy. If the licensee submits it electronically, it must 35 establish internal procedures to ensure that the information provided in the report is accurate 36 and that only authorized licensee personnel prepare and issue the report.

8 9 1 INTRODUCTION 10 11 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) 12 jointly sponsor the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS). This 13 system is the U.S. Governments national database used by DOE and the NRC for tracking 14 certain nuclear material.

15 16 Common reporting forms and formats are used to minimize the reporting burden on licensees 1 17 that are required to provide nuclear material data to one or both agencies in accordance with 18 current regulations or contractual obligations. In this manner, licensees can file one report to 19 meet the reporting requirements of both the NRC and DOE. Compliance with specific reporting 20 requirements is monitored by the agency that requires the specific data. NRC regulations 21 require licensees to submit the reports in computer-readable form.

22 23 In addition to the physical inventory reporting requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal 24 Regulations (CFR) Part 74, Material Control and Accounting of Special Nuclear Material, as 25 discussed in Section 1.2, licensees may also be required to report to NMMSS all receipts, 26 transfers, and inventory adjustments of U.S. Government-owned, -loaned, or -leased material in 27 their possession that they obtained from DOE. In such cases, licensees shall file DOE/NRC 28 Form 742, Material Balance Report, and DOE/NRC Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing, to 29 report quantities of 0.5 or greater of the reporting unit specified in DOE Series 470 orders (DOE 30 Order 470.4, Safeguards and Security Program, and DOE Order 474.2, Nuclear Material 31 Control and Accountability).

32 33 1.1 Material Status Reports 34 35 DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C are the means for submitting reports of material balance and 36 physical inventory listing data to NMMSS. The information must be completed in accordance 37 with the instructions in this NUREG and must be submitted in computer-readable format.

38 NMMSS Report D-24, Personal Computer Data Input for NRC Licensees, issued January 1, 39 2012, provides the instructions for creating the computer-readable submittal.

40 41 Licensees use DOE/NRC Form 742 to report a summary of activity for a specified material 42 within a material balance reporting period, as specified in 10 CFR 74.13, Material Status 1 The term licensee here denotes an NRC or Agreement State licensee or an NRC certificate holder or possessor.

1 NUREG/BR-007, Rev. 8

1 Reports. The report conveys beginning and ending inventory balances; activities such 2 asshipments and receipts involving other facilities; and decay, transmutation, and production 3 calculations. This information is useful for validating a facilitys ending book inventory.

4 Licensees that neither received nor transferred source or special nuclear material (SNM) within 5 a reporting period should still refer to instructions in NUREG/BR-0006, Instructions for 6 Completing Nuclear Material Transaction Reports, to submit a DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear 7 Materials Transaction Report, to NMMSS to report other transactions that would otherwise 8 change the inventory balance within the material balance period.

9 10 Licensees use DOE/NRC Form 742C to report a facilitys physical inventory listing as of a 11 specified date. For each material type category, the report lists the amount of material in the 12 facilitys possession at the time of the inventory process. The form can show each individual 13 batch or summarize totals of like batches. The totals for each material type category must 14 match the ending balance in the corresponding material balance report (DOE/NRC Form 742).

15 16 NMMSS relies heavily on the quality of the data reported by the facilities involved in nuclear 17 activities. The data submitted to NMMSS are subject to evaluation according to the restrictions 18 placed on nuclear activity by the policies of various governing agencies of the United States.

19 NMMSS receives the data after they are verified by edit checks as acceptable within the 20 restrictions of the system.

21 22 1.2 Regulations 23 24 NRC regulations in 10 CFR Part 74.13 requires each licensee who possessed special nuclear 25 material during a material balance reporting period in a quantity totaling 1 gram or more of 26 contained uranium (U)-235, U-233, or plutonium (Pu) to prepare and submit in computer-27 readable format Material Balance Reports (DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C) concerning SNM 28 received, produced, possessed, transferred, consumed, disposed of, or lost. Reporting periods 29 are determined by the quantity of material possessed by the facility. Specifically, 30

  • Licensees subject to the requirements of 10 CFR 74.51 shall compile a report as of 31 March 31 and September 30 of each year, and file the report within 30 days after the 32 end of the period covered by the report.

33

  • Licensees subject to the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 74.19(c)(5), 74.33(c)(4), or 34 74.43(c)(6) shall submit a report within 60 calendar days of the beginning of the physical 35 inventory.

36

  • Licensees reporting pursuant to 10 CFR 75.35 shall prepare and submit material status 37 reports as described in Section 3.2 of this NUREG.

38

  • All other licensees, including those subject to 10 CFR 150.17 shall submit a report no 39 later than March 31 of each year.

40 41 Licensees shall complete a separate DOE/NRC Form 742 and 742C for each material type of 42 SNM and source material for which a reportable quantity is possessed or a reportable inventory 43 change has occurred during the material balance period. For SNM, reportable quantities are 44 defined as 1 gram or more; for source material, the reportable quantity is 1 kilogram or more.

45 For reporting purposes, quantities of 0.5 or more are to be rounded up to the next whole unit. A 46 complete listing of material types is provided in Section 2 of this NUREG.

NUREG/BR-0007, Rev. 8 2

1 In addition, NRC regulations in 10 CFR 40.64 require each licensee that possesses, or that had 2 possessed in the previous reporting period, 1 kilogram or more of uranium or 1 kilogram or more 3 of thorium source material pursuant to the operation of enrichment services, downblending 4 uranium that has an initial enrichment of the U-235 isotope of 10 percent or more, or the 5 fabrication of mixed-oxide fuels shall complete and submit DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C for 6 all activities involving the source material.

7 8 Furthermore, NRC regulations in 10 CFR 40.64(b)(1) require each Federal or State licensee 9 that possessed during a reporting period 1 kilogram or more of foreign obligated source material 10 (material types 10, 81, and 88) to must submit a statement of foreign obligated source material 11 inventory to the NRC. The regulation allows DOE/NRC Form 742 to be used. The reporting 12 period is October 1 to September 30 of each year (unless the NRC authorizes an alternate 13 period).

14 15 Each licensee required to report material balance, inventory, and/or foreign obligation 16 information, as detailed in this part, shall resolve any discrepancies identified during the report 17 review and reconciliation process within 30 calendar days of notification of a discrepancy 18 identified by the NRC. See section 1.5 of this NUREG for additional instructions on 19 reconciliation.

20 21 Possessor of DOE-owned material shall refer to DOE Order 470.4B and DOE Order 474.2 for 22 additional information about reporting inventories.

23 24 1.3 Preparation and Submission of DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C in 25 Computer-Readable Format 26 27 NMMSS Report D-24 provides instructions for preparing DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C in 28 computer-readable format as required for submittal. The Safeguards Management Software 29 (SAMS) program is a facsimile of NMMSS that allows the user to import and export data; do 30 edit checks to complete a quality review; generate various reports; and create material 31 balance, inventory, and transaction data. It has the capability to export data into the required 32 NMMSS predefined computer-readable format outlined in NMMSS Report D-24. The SAMS 33 program may be obtained from NMMSS staff free of charge.

34 35 Licensees can submit data to NMMSS through the following two methods:

36 37 (1) Electronic Data Submission 38 39 Licensees should submit DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C in computer-readable format 40 unless reporting under 10 CFR 40.64(b). NMMSS Report D-24 provides instructions on 41 packaging, data format requirements, acceptable media types, and the mailing address 42 for the submittal of data on computer media.

43 44 Licensees can request a copy of the fillable forms installer kit by e-mailing NMMSS at 45 nmmss@nnsa.doe.gov. These forms can be completed, saved at the licensee site, and 46 submitted to NMMSS at the aforementioned e-mail address. Licensees may also 3 NUREG/BR-007, Rev. 8

1 contact the NRC program manager for questions about fillable forms and electronic data 2 submission by e-mailing the NRC e-mail resource at nmmss.resource@nrc.gov.

3 4 Licensees should adhere to their facilitys encryption policy for transmitting electronic 5 data to NMMSS.

6 7 Licensees may also download data onto electronic media and mail the data to NMMSS.

8 Contact NMMSS staff to confirm the mailing address before submitting mail.

9 10 (2) New or Modified Methods of Transferring Electronic Data 11 12 The NRC may authorize new or modified methods of transferring electronic DOE/NRC 13 Form 742 and 742C data to NMMSS. Licensees may confirm authorization to use 14 additional methods for the transfer of these data by contacting NMMSS staff.

15 16 1.4 Documentation and Distribution 17 18 Licensees must submit the completed DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C to NMMSS in a timely 19 manner. Before licensees submit any data, they should determine whether their submission 20 contains classified information because the specific documentation and distribution instructions 21 depend on whether the completed DOE/NRC Form 742 or 742C contains classified or 22 unclassified information.

23 24 Any DOE/NRC Form 742 or 742C that is classified must be documented and handled in 25 accordance with all pertinent security requirements. All other submissions that are not classified 26 are considered to be proprietary material control and accounting information, and licensees may 27 request that such information be withheld as defined by 10 CFR 2.390, Public Inspections, 28 Exemptions, Requests for Withholding. Each person who is to receive a copy of the report 29 must be verified as a qualified recipient before distribution. Licensees should confirm the 30 address before sending documents to NMMSS or other recipients. In addition, they should 31 formally provide classification guidance to NMMSS after making a decision to classify or 32 declassify a submission or to change previously submitted guidance. When submitting 33 safeguards information, licensees should also submit DOE/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note, 34 and state that the submission is safeguards information and should be handled in accordance 35 with 10 CFR 73.21, Protection of Safeguards Information: Performance Requirements.

36 37 Licensees should do the following when distributing the completed report:

  • Submit one copy of the completed report and all supporting subschedules and lists to 40 NMMSS. All RIS holders are encouraged to review their RIS point-of-contact 41 information yearly and notify NMMSS that the data are correct or make changes.

42 43

  • Retain one copy for licensee files.

44 45 1.5 Reconciliation 46 47 At the end of every material balance reporting period, a reconciliation shall be performed 48 between reports submitted by the licensee to NMMSS and the projected book inventory that NUREG/BR-0007, Rev. 8 4

1 NMMSS has calculated. This process shall be considered complete when the licensee resolves 2 any differences between the reported and projected balances, including those listed for 3 foreign-obligated materials. 2 The reconciliation should be completed within 30 calendar days of 4 when the licensee was notified of the discrepancy, and it should include all accounts, including 5 holding accounts, held by the licensee.

6 7 Facilities should ensure that their reported weight totals in DOE/NRC Form 742C equal the 8 weight totals in DOE/NRC Form 742 for each material type. The totals in DOE/NRC Form 742C 9 should be an arithmetic sum of the weights listed on the batch data lines of DOE/NRC 10 Form 742C. The totals on DOE/NRC Forms 742 and 742C should agree with the values 11 maintained and used at the site. However, if reported DOE/NRC Form 742 and 742C values 12 differ from site-maintained values because of issues such as rounding, the site should submit a 13 concise note (DOE/NRC Form 740M) explaining the difference.

14 2 Commercial practices allow a facility to conduct an obligations exchange to meet a contractual requirement.

Obligation exchanges are not meant to circumvent U.S. international agreements for peaceful use and nuclear cooperation with trading partners. Facilities should use special care to avoid a negative obligations balance. NMMSS may report a negative obligations balance for a facility at any given reporting date because of the time delay in reporting shipments versus receipt; however, NMMSS cannot reconcile a facility for a material balance period until the foreign obligations at the facility are balanced.

1 If the SNM being reported is Pu-238 (material type 83), enter the amount of radioactive 2 decay of the isotope Pu-238 to the nearest gram or 0.1 gram. Reporting regulations in 3 10 CFR 74.13 require licensees in possession of 1 gram or more of SNM to complete 4 material status reports; however, NMMSS accepts units reported to 0.1 gram for this 5 material type.

6 7 73. FISSION AND TRANSMUTATIONEnter the calculated net quantities of SNM lost by 8 fission and transmutation in a reactor.

9 10 74. NORMAL OPERATIONAL LOSSES/MEASURED DISCARDSNormal operational 11 losses and measured discards are materials that have been discarded, whether in the 12 form of solids, liquids, or gases, as determined by measurement or by estimate on the 13 basis of measurement.

14 15 All material that leaves the inventory through the process of normal operational 16 losses/measured discards shall be accounted for on a DOE/NRC Form 741. If the 17 licensee has not previously reported the transaction in the period covered by this 18 material balance period, it shall submit DOE/NRC Form 741 and DOE/NRC Form 742 to 19 facilitate reconciliation with NMMSS.

20 21 75. ACCIDENTAL LOSSESAccidental loss is the irretrievable and inadvertent loss of a 22 known quantity of SNM or source material as the result of an operational accident, as 23 determined by measurement or by estimate on the basis of measurement.

24 25 76. APPROVED WRITE-OFFSLeave blank.

26 27 77. INVENTORY DIFFERENCEInventory difference is the difference between physical 28 inventory and book inventory after the book has been adjusted for all receipts and 29 removals. A negative entry reports a gain. A positive entry reports a loss.

30 31 Reactors should not report an inventory difference to NMMSS. At the time of physical 32 inventory, the value assigned to an SNM item (e.g., assembly, rod, fragment, sealed 33 container) should be recorded identically on both the book inventory and the physical 34 inventory. At a reactor, unlike at facilities that process SNM for some end use, 35 adjustments to the values assigned to items (representing factors such as nuclear loss, 36 decay, and production rounding) can be explained and should be reported as such.

37 38 80. ENDING INVENTORYU.S. GOVT-OWNEDEnter the ending DOE-owned inventory 39 as of the end of the last day of the period covered by this report.

40 41 81. ENDING INVENTORYNOT U.S. GOVT-OWNEDEnter the ending non-DOE-owned 42 inventory as of the last day of the period covered by this report.

43 44 82. TOTALEnter the sums of lines 41 through 81. The totals reported on this line must 45 agree with those on line 40.

46 47 83. BIAS ADJUSTMENTLeave blank.

1 2.2 Section B, Foreign Obligations 2

3 The total amount of obligated nuclear material in a facilitys inventory as of the end of the 4 reporting period must be accounted for by material type. It may not exceed the total amount of 5 physical inventory (i.e., a negative obligations balance). The NMMSS staff can provide 6 facilities with reports that calculate an obligations balance for an RIS code based on the balance 7 of transactions reported since the last reconciliation date. The NMMSS-calculated report may 8 indicate a negative obligations balance for a facility as a result of the delay in reporting 9 shipments versus receipts; however, NMMSS is not authorized to reconcile a facility for a 10 material balance period until the foreign obligations at the facility are balanced.

11 12 The following column entries are required:

13 14 1. COUNTRY OF OBLIGATIONEnter the unique obligation code for each category of 15 nuclear material. Appendix C to this NUREG lists the codes. The current list of codes 16 can be obtained from NMMSS staff by sending a request to nmmss@nnsa.doe.gov.

17 18 2. ELEMENT WEIGHTEnter the element weight (plutonium, uranium, or thorium) of the 19 obligated SNM or source material in the reporting units specified for column A of 20 Section A of the form (see Section 2.1 of this NUREG).

21 22 3. ISOTOPE WEIGHTEnter the appropriate isotope weight. For enriched uranium or 23 U-233, enter the weight to the nearest gram of U-235 or U-233, as appropriate. No entry 24 is necessary for plutonium, depleted uranium, natural uranium, or thorium unless the 25 licensees TFA requires such an entry.

26 27 4. TOTAL WEIGHTEnter the totals for columns 2 and 3. These totals represent the total 28 obligated material at the facility. The total weight of obligated nuclear material may not 29 exceed the total element and isotope weight reported on line 82.

30 31 2.3 Section C, Certification 32 33 SIGNATURE, TITLE, AND DATEAn authorized representative of the licensee shall sign the 34 report if the licensee submits it as a hard copy. If the licensee submits it electronically, it must 35 establish internal procedures to ensure that the information provided in the report is accurate 36 and that only authorized licensee personnel prepare and issue the report.

3 AccountabilityIn DOE terminology, the determination of, and current record maintenance of, 4 special nuclear material (SNM) and source material quantities associated with transfers, 5 measured discards, inventories, and inventory differences (IDs) that might result from theft, 6 diversion, or other unidentified loss mechanisms.

7 8 Agreement StateA State that has signed an agreement with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 9 Commission (NRC) under which the State regulates the use of byproduct, source, and small 10 quantities of SNM in that State.

11 12 Book inventoryThe algebraic sum of the most recent physical inventory of the material 13 balance area and of all inventory changes that have occurred since the physical inventory was 14 taken.

15 16 Concise NoteU.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/NRC Form 740M, Concise Note, which is 17 used to provide additional information concerning nuclear material transaction, material balance, 18 or inventory data supplied by facilities engaged in the import or export of nuclear materials, by 19 facilities selected under the provisions of the agreement between the United States and the 20 International Atomic Energy Agency for the application of safeguards in the United States, or by 21 any facility that would like to transmit any additional explanatory nuclear material information.

22 23 DOE-owned materialNuclear material that, although a licensee uses such material as part of 24 its activities, is actually a DOE-owned asset. These materials may be bulk materials, discrete 25 radiation sources, or finished products. Such materials may represent a lease or loan 26 arrangement with DOE and are represented by an owner code of G on shipping information 27 (i.e., DOE/NRC Form 741, Nuclear Materials Transaction Report) and inventory 28 documentation (i.e., DOE/NRC Form 742, Material Balance Report, and DOE/NRC 29 Form 742C, Physical Inventory Listing). A licensee can determine whether nuclear material in 30 its possession is DOE owned by reviewing its DOE/NRC Form 741 documentation, which lists 31 the original receipt of the material. If DOE owns such material, the licensees portion of the form 32 will have the owner code G.

33 34 European Atomic Energy CommunityAs of January 2019, an organization consisting of the 35 following member countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, 36 Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, 37 Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia , Slovenia, Spain, 38 Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

39 40 Foreign-obligated nuclear materialSource material or SNM that is subject to the terms and 41 conditions of a peaceful use agreement under Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 42 amended, that the U.S. Government has entered into with another government or group of 43 governments.

1 material from the primary RIS in use at the licensees facility. Typically, a small number of 2 licensees have used these accounts for nuclear materials not expected to be immediately 3 processed, reprocessed, or disposed. However, the licensed nuclear materials in holding 4 accounts are still in the licensees possession and must be included in inventories reported to 5 the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System.

6 7 Inventory differenceThe arithmetic difference between a book inventory and the 8 corresponding physical inventory that closes the material balance period. It is calculated by 9 subtracting the ending inventory (EI) and removals from inventory (R) from the beginning 10 inventory (BI) and additions to inventory (A) during the period between physical inventories.

11 Mathematically, ID can be expressed as follows:

12 13 ID = (BI + A - R) - EI, 14 15 where (BI + A - R) is the book inventory.

16 17 Inventory reconciliationThe adjustment of the book record quantity of elements and fissile 18 isotope weights to reflect the results of a physical inventory taking. In a broad sense, inventory 19 reconciliation involves the activities of calculating (1) the ID for the material balance period in 20 question, (2) the uncertainty value associated with the ID, (3) the active inventory for the period, 21 and (4) any bias adjustment or prior period adjustment associated with the ID value.

22 23 Low-enriched uraniumUranium enriched below 20 percent in the isotope U-235.

24 25 Material balance periodThe time span to which a material or physical inventory pertains.

26 27 Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards SystemThe national database and 28 information system for select nuclear materials controlled by the U.S. Government. This system 29 was created to support national safeguards and management objectives in domestic and 30 international programs. The system stores data on nuclear material transactions and 31 inventories and produces a wide range of printed reports for use by DOE and the NRC and by 32 those licensees that they regulate. The system is used to satisfy the nuclear materials 33 information requirements of agreements between the United States and foreign entities. In 34 addition, the system provides the reporting interface between facilities selected under the 35 provisions of the U.S./International Atomic Energy Agency Safeguards Agreement.

36 37 Nuclear material outside facilitiesThe nuclear material that is not in a facility and is 38 customarily used in amounts of 1 effective kilogram or less.

39 40 Physical inventoryA physical determination of the quantity of nuclear material on hand at a 41 given time. The methods of physical inventory and the associated measurements vary 42 depending on the material to be inventoried and the process involved. A book inventory 43 between physical inventory takings can be calculated based on the physical inventory quantity 44 from the prior period together with all subsequent inventory changes associated with the 45 determination of that book inventory. The primary purpose of a physical inventory is to confirm 46 the absence of (or to detect) a loss, theft, or diversion of SNM.

20 73. FISSION AND TRANSMUTATIONEnter the calculated quantities of SNM lost by 21 fission and transmutation in a reactor.

22 23 74. NORMAL OPERATIONAL LOSSES/MEASURED DISCARDSNormal operational 24 losses and measured discards are materials that have been discarded, whether in the 25 form of solids, liquids, or gases, as determined by measurement or by estimate on the 26 basis of measurement.

27 28 DOE/NRC Form 741 must account for all materials that leave the inventory through the 29 process of normal operational losses/measured discards, if not previously reported in the 30 period covered by this report. To account for these discards, use the established RIS 31 types described below.

32 33 If the material is discarded to a lagoon or pond, append an L to the receivers RIS.

34 Measured discards to the atmosphere or ground should be documented as an onsite 35 transfer with the licensees RIS as shipper and receiver. If the material goes off the 36 inventory into a holding area (refer to the term holding account in the glossary in 37 Appendix D) for later removal to a burial site, append an H to the receivers RIS. When 38 the material is eventually shipped to a burial site, the transfer series on DOE/NRC 39 Form 741 will show the shippers RIS with an appended H and the appropriate V-series 40 RIS in the receivers block. Alternatively, the licensee may return the material from the 41 holding account to the primary RIS and then ship the material from the primary RIS.

42 Such activities must also be documented on DOE/NRC Form 741. Remove discards 43 from inventory only when the material has been disposed of by (1) transfer to an 44 authorized recipient or holding area in accordance with 10 CFR Part 40, Domestic 45 Licensing of Source Material, or 10 CFR Part 74, Material Control and Accounting of 46 Special Nuclear Material, (2) authorization under 10 CFR 20.2002, Method for 14 Round up fractions of 0.5 or greater. If the quantity to be entered is less than 0.5 of the reporting unit, round down to the next whole reporting unit.

14 15 77. INVENTORY DIFFERENCEInventory difference (ID) is the difference between 16 physical inventory and book inventory after the book has been adjusted for all receipts 17 and removals. A negative entry reports a gain. A positive entry reports a loss.

18 19 80. ENDING INVENTORYU.S. GOVT-OWNEDEnter the ending DOE-owned inventory 20 as of the end of the last day of the period covered by this report.

21 22 81. ENDING INVENTORYNOT U.S. GOVT-OWNEDEnter the ending non-DOE-owned 23 inventory as of the last day of the period covered by this report.

24 25 82. TOTALEnter the sums of lines 41 through 81. The totals reported on this line must 26 agree with those on line 40.

27 E-10 28 83. BIAS ADJUSTMENTThe ID bias adjustment is that quantity of material that should be 29 added to or subtracted from the ID quantity on line 77 to produce the best estimate of an 30 unbiased ID. The adjustment represents the algebraic summation of the impact of 31 measurement system biases on each component of the measured plant material 32 balance. Include the sum of the bias adjustments for the ID for the current period on this 33 line. This line should also include any prior period adjustments. Do not include bias 34 adjustments that have already been applied to the source data in the material balance 35 equation.

36 37 Note that the total ending inventories must match the total inventory reported on DOE/NRC 38 Form 742C for a material type.

39 40 Section B, Foreign Obligations 41 42 This section only applies to licensees that possess obligated nuclear material in their inventory 43 within a reporting period. It does not apply to licensees that have not possessed or transferred 44 (received or shipped) foreign-obligated material within a reporting period.

45 46 The total amount of obligated nuclear material in inventory as of the end of the reporting period 47 must be accounted for by material type. It may not exceed the total amount of physical 48 inventory for a given material type (i.e., a negative obligations balance). Facilities should use 49 special care to avoid a negative obligations balance at the time of facility reconciliation.

50 NMMSS may show a negative obligations balance for a facility at any given time within a 51 material balance period as a result of the delay in reporting shipments versus receipts; however, E-11 NUREG/BR-007, Rev. 8

1 NMMSS will not be able to reconcile a facility for a material balance period until the foreign 2 obligations at the facility are balanced.

3 4 The following column entries are required:

5 6 1. COUNTRY OF OBLIGATIONEnter the unique obligated code for each category of 7 nuclear material. Appendix C to this NUREG lists the codes. NMMSS staff can provide 8 an up-to-date listing.

9 10 2. ELEMENT WEIGHTEnter the element weight (plutonium, uranium, or thorium) of the 11 obligated SNM or source material in the reporting units specified for column A of 12 Section A of the form (see Section E-2.2 of this appendix).

13 14 3. ISOTOPE WEIGHTEnter the appropriate isotope weight. For enriched uranium or 15 U-233, enter the weight to the nearest gram of U-235 or U-233, as appropriate. Do not 16 make an entry for plutonium.

17 18 4. TOTAL WEIGHTEnter the totals for columns 2 and 3. These totals represent the total 19 obligated material at the facility. The total weight of obligated nuclear material may not 20 exceed the total element and isotope weight reported on line 82.

21 22 Section C, Certification 23 24 SIGNATURE, TITLE, AND DATEAn authorized representative of the licensee shall sign the 25 report if the licensee submits it as a hard copy. If the licensee submits it electronically, it must 26 establish internal procedures to ensure that the information provided in the report is accurate 27 and that only the authorized licensee personnel have prepared and issued the report.
