Abstract
The benefits of dynamic materials accounting are demon- strated by comparing the timeliness, spatial specificity, and sensitivity with that of current materials accounting require- ments. Examples of conceptual dynamic accountability systems are given for proposed domestic fuel-cycle facilities. Model- ing and simulation results indicate that such systems can detect diversion in hours or days with dramatically improved deversion sensitivity and can localize diversion to a single unit process area.
