A Computerized Records and Reports System

At Westinghouse, the Nuclear Materials Management & Safeguards Group is the central recording and reporting location for all source and-special nuclear materials transactions occurring within the Corporation's vast Nuclear Energy Systems organization. Currently, the following site locations are included in the nuclear materials reporting network: Cheswick, Pa. Nuclear Fuel Division, Plutonium Fuels Development Laboratory. Waltz Mill, Pa. Advanced Reactors Division, Analytical Laboratories. Forest Hills, Pa. Nuclear Fuel Division and PWR Systems Divisions, Metallurgical Laboratory and Test Engineering. Zion, III. Nuclear Service Division, Westinghouse Nuclear Training Center. Columbia, S. C. Nuclear Fuel Division, Columbia Plant. One of the functions of the NES, Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards group is to maintain a record of each receipt, shipment, internal transfer, intentional discard and material unaccounted for (MUF) transaction at the facilities described above. These central records are utilized to generate various reports periodically from the data processing system. The Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMS) was designed to meet Westinghouse mangement requirements for SNM inventory and asset control programs while automating the procedures necessary to fulfill the record-keeping and reporting requirements of the USAEC. The hardware utilized by the system is an IBM-370-55. The software consists of a series of programs, each designed to perform a
