I. Inventory control and accountability requirements

Real-time or near real-time accountability systems

should be incorporated if possible.

Criticality safety considerations

Criticality alarm systems (gamma or neutron) shall

be provided in each area where an accidental

criticality is possible.

Criticality safety requirements may include:

ANSI/ANS 8.3-1986, Criticality Accident Alarm

Systems; ANSI/ANS 8.1-1983, Nuclear Criticality

Safety in Operations with Fissionable Materials

Outside Reactors; and ANSI/ANS 8.19-1984,

ANS Administrative Procedures for Nuclear

Criticality.

It is important to review site requirements

documents prior to conducting the assessment.

All DOE facilities that possess sufficient quantities

and kinds of fissile material to potentially

constitute a critical mass shall provide nuclear

accident dosimetry.
