Development of safeguards information treatment system at the facility level

Safeguards Information Treatment System(SITS) at the facility level was developed to implement efficiently the obligations under the Korea-IAEA Safeguards Agreement, bilateral agreements with other countries and domestic law, and to manage effectively the information related to safeguards work. To cover various kinds of accounting procedures and methods applied at the facility level under IAEA safeguards agreement, nuclear facilities in Korea are categorized into 8 types based on its accounting characteristics in SITS. The SITS can manage the amount and inventory change of nuclear material per origin using the IAEA accounting reports. As a result of the SITS's development, facility operators can perform efficiently and effectively the safeguards related works at the facility level. The SITS was distributed to the various facilities such as nuclear power plants, fuel fabrication facilities, research facilities and other facilities in Korea at the end of March 2002
