Materials Control and Accountability 35,200 35,602 34,592
Materials Control and Accountability (MC&A) provides for the control and accountability
of special nuclear material and other accountable nuclear materials through measurements,
quality assurance, accounting, containment, surveillance, and physical inventory. This
subprogram also includes the Local Area Network Material Accountability System
(LANMAS) software application as well as training and operational support provided to
DOE and NNSA sites and facilities to use as the core of their nuclear accountability
systems. The LANMAS software is used by 16 DOE sites, 8 of which are NNSA sites.
In FY 2012, the request provides for tracking movements of accountable nuclear materials
between sites and reporting those movements to a national level tracking system. The
request provides for assessment, testing, transfers, verifications and measurements,
reconciliation and statistical analyses related to MC&A requirements. The FY 2012 request
also reflects the functional transfer of the management and operations of the Local Area
Network Material Accountability System (LANMAS) from HSS to NNSA.
Program Management 83,944 80,311 77,920
Program Management provides direction, oversight and administration, planning, training,
and development for security programs in these areas: Security Program Planning, Annual
Operating Plans (AOPs), Site Security Plans and Site Safeguards and Security Plans,
Vulnerability Analysis, Performance Testing and Assurance activities, Security Incident
and Reporting Management, Surveys and Self-Assessments, activities related to deviation

Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) activities.
In FY 2012, the request provides for the assessment of security implementation efforts
through the review of updated security plans and performance testing, review of
vulnerability assessments, and revised threat and vulnerability analysis. To formalize the
process, a detailed Program Management Plan, including annual performance goals and
baselines for each site’s security program, is in place.
Technology Deployment, Physical Security 8,000 7,225 4,797
This effort will identify and facilitate the deployment of security technology to address both
short- and long-term solutions to specific physical security and MC&A needs at NNSA
sites.
In FY 2012, the request ensures focus on promising, emerging technologies that will
provide operational efficiencies for the NNSA security program.
