Potential Security Measures Beth Reed, NRR Chuck Teal, NSIR January 21, 2020

Commission Direction

  • Use supplemental security measures

- Measures to supplement the regulation

- Measures in past Orders apply

- Apply as license conditions

  • Site specific

- Dependent on design, use, product, etc

  • Graded approach

- Accounts for type and quantity of material used 2

Approach

  • Regulatory Basis for Rulemaking to Enhance Security of SNM

- In ADAMS under ML14321A007

  • Rule was discontinued, but approach remains

- Graded approach

- Risk informed

- Based on the attractiveness of the material

- Driven by the dilution of the material 3

Dilution Factor

  • The weight of uranium-235, uranium-233 and plutonium divided by the total weight of the SNM material and non-SNM materials which are not mechanically separable from the SNM) for solids.
  • Three Levels

- Non-dilute

- Moderately dilute

- Highly dilute

Non-dilute

  • Material with a dilution factor equal to or greater than 20 percent for uranium-235 and equal to or greater than 10 percent for uranium-233 and plutonium.

Moderately Dilute

  • Material with a dilution factor equal to or greater than 1 percent but less than 20 percent for uranium-235 and equal to or greater than 1 percent but less than 10 percent for uranium-233 and plutonium.
  • MOX and certain non power reactor fuels, for example, can be considered moderately dilute SNM.

Highly Dilute

  • HEU-contaminated processing waste, for which the recovery of SNM is uneconomic, is an example of highly dilute materials.
