Developing a Facility NMAC Plan

Williams, Martha C.; Pope, Noah G.

The table presented below suggests the basic information that should be covered in a facility NMAC Plan for an NMAC program that is designed for nuclear security. The topics are appropriate for and should be addressed by all facilities in their NMAC Plans. They are appropriate for NMAC Plans for nuclear power plants, research reactors, fuel manufacturing facilities, facilities that produce medical isotopes, and other facilities. The difference is in the intensity with which the various measures are applied and the thoroughness of the description of the application (i.e., the program requirements). The robustness of a facility NMAC program and the content of its NMAC Plan should be graded in accordance with the type of facility and the category of its nuclear material.
