Abstract
As part of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Nuclear Material Protection, Control, and Accounting (MPC&A) Program, the US Department of Energy and the Mangyshlak Atomic Energy Complex (MAEC), Aktau, Republic of Kazakstan have cooperated to enhance existing MAEC MPC&A features at the BN–350 liquid-metal fast-breeder reactor. This paper describes the methodology of the enhancement activities and provides representative examples of the MPC&A augmentation implemented at the MAEC.
