A.6.4.2

Surveillance Parameters

The parameters specified by the criterion are the measurable indicators identified in Sections

6.2 and 6.3, above. These parameters provide an indication of material stability and package

integrity.

A.6.4.3

Evaluation of Surveillance Data

These evaluations confirm the safety of the package.

A.6.5.1

Data Base

An electronic data base is specified because a manual data base would be overly cumbersome.

The architecture is not specified here to allow maximum flexibility to interface with existing data

bases and files. Some data will be classified, partly because Category I quantities of Special

Nuclear Material (SNM) will be stored in the storage facility.

Data Base Content Elements

1. These parameters allow as complete a characterization of the contents as is possible

without undertaking additional characterization. The intent is to capture all available

relevant information, and not to require additional characterization beyond that

which is already available.

2. Package data can meet a number of needs. For example, if a package exhibits

unexpected behavior, these data can help identify other, similar packages that may

require inspection. These data also allow disposition processing to be optimized

3. No further basis is provided.

4. No further basis is provided.

A.6.6

Quality Assurance

This is a natural extension of the responsibilities the sites already have to assign materials to

"oxide" and "residue" categories and to select items for the MIS Program.
