S-S-S Problem – Example 3 • A physical inventory taking may reveal that an item is missing or that an ID exceeds limits. • A missing item may pose a safety risk. It may be a criticality risk if it is in an unapproved location. • In response to a missing item or an excessive ID, security will always be called on to demonstrate that the missing material could not have left the site. Security and safeguards will share responsibility for the investigation. • Establishing a roadmap for communication and cooperation before a problem is identified can lead to faster and more effective resolution of the problem. 3SDB, University of New Mexico, March 2013 14
Safeguards and Security Why is material accounting & control important to security? • Physical measures can be taken to protect against theft, but physical protection measures cannot resolve allegations or questions of theft. • The question “Has an item been stolen?” can only be answered by an accounting system with complete and up-to-date records of the facility’s nuclear material. • Effective control over nuclear material is essential for mitigating the risk of theft or unauthorized removal. • Accounting records of nuclear material locations and quantities are necessary for resolving questions of theft. 3SDB, University of New Mexico, March 2013 15
