Abstract
A Dynamic Special Nuclear Material Control and Accountability System (DYMCAS) prototype terminal was designed and built at the Y-12 Plant. It resolved numerous questions involved in a real-time inventory system. It operated for four months without problems. The system maxi- mized the use of automatic data entry and minimized sources of error. The results of this project will be used to guide the final plant-wide DYMCAS.
