DOE-STD-3013-2004
Safeguards
The maximum plutonium concentration upon which Materials
Termination Limit
Control and Accountability and physical protection can be
terminated if conditions in DOE Order 5633.3B, Chapter I,
Paragraph 1.l are met. If safeguards guidance beyond that
contained in the references is applicable to one or more sites, the
governing guidance shall be that applicable to the packaging site.
Stabilized Material
Material that will not cause the design basis of the container
described in this Standard to be exceeded through pressure
generation, corrosion, or excessive stress over a design life of 50
years.

Stabilization, Packaging and Storage Criteria
6.1
Stabilized Materials
Because of the significant differences in the chemical and physical properties of metals, oxides,
and engineered materials (and in their processing methods) criteria are provided for each
material category.
6.1.1 Plutonium-Bearing Metals and Alloys
1. Metal pieces to be packaged shall have a specific surface area less than 100
mm2/g. This limit may be implemented by either restricting pieces such that each
weighs at least 50 g or by performing calculations for each material type and
performing appropriate physical measurements (for example, weight, dimensional
measurements, etc.) on each piece. In no case shall pieces less than 10 g be
packaged. Foils, turnings and wires shall not be packaged under this Standard.
2. At the time of packaging, metals shall be visually free of non-adherent corrosion
products (including oxide), liquids, and organic materials such as plastics and oils.
3. Briquettes made by pressing plutonium turnings shall not be stored under the
provisions of this Standard.
6.1.2 Oxides
1.
Stabilization Conditions: Oxides shall be stabilized by heating the material in an
