Abstract
The difficulties inherent in the preparation of closed material balances about production-scale operations have been noted by many authors. The most promising possibilities for attaining accurate closed material balances on a timely and economical basis lie in a variety of techniques that can be grouped under the title, \"In-Plant Dynamic Material Controls\". Systems incorporating these controls must be designed carefully to ensure that they add additional safeguards rather than just additional apparent speed. Additionally, the requirements of international safeguards are not always the same as those of national systems. This paper attempts to highlight some of the problems in dynamic system design, in the hope that the result will gain international acceptance and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of international safeguards.
