Description

The U.S. must generally account for nuclear material it has obtained under nuclear cooperation agreements with foreign partners. The agreements generally impose certain conditions, including that the material be used for peaceful purposes. Material subject to such conditions is called äóìobligated.äó The U.S. relies on the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS) to track obligated material and to help demonstrate U.S. compliance with agreements. Material not subject to agreement conditions is called äóìunobligated.äó This report examines (1) the number of obligation exchanges in the U.S. since 2003, and the reasons for them; and (2) how the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) ensure such exchanges are accurately tracked and reported through NMMSS. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
