Nuclear materials management and safeguards system: reports

This manual is the second in a series of three user manuals developed to improve the utility and understanding of the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System (NMMSS). They describe the logical role and physical characteristics of the system, the information represented in the data that enters the system and remains in its data base, and the performance of the system in continuously and simultaneously serving the many organizations that use it. The first manual in this series is an overview of the NMMSS. It was issued in October, 1976, and is identified as User Manual NMMSS-1. The overview was compiled to give a comprehensive description of the concept, design, development, operation, and use of the system. The manual on reports is designated as User Manual NMMSS-2, and it gives a closer, more detailed view of the system and how it is used by many organizations with safeguards and management responsibilities. Usage is represented in the descriptions of reports and the other information products of the national data base that is maintained by the system. The third manual will describe the data categories and components of the four primary and eight background data systems. It will include descriptions and definitions of data elements and summaries of the reporting specifications
