Summary
Today's S S regulatory environment is best characterized as dynamic and turbulent. As a result, S S programs, policies and procedures are rapidly undergoing change, sometimes major, to withstand internal and external scrutiny. Currently the Material Control and Accountability (MC A) DOE Order 5633.3 forms the basis of the MC A programs throughout the DOE complex. Although these requirements can be and often are made more restrictive by the field office and/or the site contractor, this order establishes the minimum standards that programs must meet. The present policy makes exceptions to this order difficult, if not impossible, to be granted. Therefore, strict compliance is expected, and enforced through audits. Having the MC A requirements commonly understood by those that enforce compliance and educating the contractors and DOE field offices in the standards they will be audited against would offer definite advantages. However, the requirements are not always commonly understood because some are ambiguous and leave room for interpretation. A further complicating factor is the different nature and mission of the facilities in the DOE complex, which forces many DOE requirements to be ambiguous or not applicable. This report analyzes operational issues at the Savannah River Site and Los Alamos National Laboratory.
