Abstract
This paper presents the results of studies that were directed toward quantifying the effort necessary to inspect plutonium recycle facilities. The cross-over sampling method is used to develop inspection plans for reprocessing and recycle fuel fabrication facilities. These sampling plans are then used to estimate the manpower requirements of the inspectorate. Practical constraints, such as scheduling of shipments, verification of in-process inventory, measurement techniques, etc., are discussed.
