BACKGROUND SUMMARY

Inventory Control and Material Management provides control

for the location, storage configuration, and handling of nuclear

material within WASTE STORAGE FACILITY based on the

quantity, type, and form. This element protects the

assumptions of the accident analysis that limit the amount of

MAR available for potential release in the event of an

accident.

APPLICATION TO SAFETY

Accidents resulting from a breach of TRU waste containers

ANALYSIS

can result in significant consequences to workers and

potentially the public. Specific controls and restrictions are

placed on radiological material inventory (containerized waste

items and WASTE STORAGE FACILITY) to prevent the

introduction of materials into WASTE STORAGE FACILITY

that would invalidate the safety basis.
