Abstract
The International Safeguards Division, in conjunction with the Office of Safeguards and Security, organized a workshop on the international sai2eguards/domesticsafeguards and security inteflace that was held in March 1996. The purpose of the workshop was to identi@ and resolve domestic safeguards and security issues associated with the implementation of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards in the Department of Energy (DOE) complex. The workshop drew heavily upon lessons learned in the application of IAEA safeguards at storage facilities in Oak Ridge, Hdord, and Rocky Flats. It was anticipated that the workshop would facilitate a consistent DOE safeguards and security approach for the implementation of IAEA safeguards in the DOE complex. This paper discusses the issues and resolutions of several issues raised at the workshop that involve primarily the domestic material control and accountability program.
