Abstract
DOE Order 5633.3, Control and Accountability of Nuclear Materials, includes specific perfoi— (nance requirements that a facility's safeguards system must meet. The performance criteria specify the ability of the system to detect the loss of a cjiven quantity of material in terms of a detection probability and a time to detection. In order to determine that a facility meets the performance requirements of the Order, quantita- tive evaluation techniques must be developed which can be applied uniformly and objectively to DOE facilities. Methods by which a facility may evaluate its program against the performance criteria of the Order and by which the field office- may conduct review and oversight of the facility's program have been developed. They have been incorporated into two guides for the use of the Facilities and field offices respectively.
