Abstract
A second edition of Safeguards Instrumenta- tion: A Compiitei—Based Catalog was published in 1985 at the request of the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Safeguards and Security (DOE/- OSS). The object of the revision was to keep the information up-to-date, so as to promote effective safeguards and assist in long-range planning. Orientation and format of the original edition were left basically unchanged. A number of entries on new developments were added; many of the original entries were deleted or updated. The new edition provides information on 125 represen- tative items in the Materials Accountancy and Containment and Surveillance categories. The document was generated from a database that had been developed for the original edition and that continues to be stored in a HP-3000 computer located at BNL. The database can be readily accessed by TSO personnel for updating or other modifications on a continuous basis. It may also be accessed, under certain conditions, by individ- uals outside BNL for information or searches. If kept up-to-date, the database provides a useful mechanism for keeping the safeguards community informed on availability and approximate cost of relevant instrumentation.
