27.

The NMAC system shall be described under the following headings:

General

Description of the accountancy system used to record and report accountancy data, including method of recording accountancy data and establishing material balance;

Main inventory changes

Description of typical inventory changes e.g. receipts (including method of dealing with the shipper/receiver differences and subsequent accounting corrections), shipments and waste related inventory changes, including a description of how these changes are determined. Corresponding operational records and source data (e.g. receiving and shipping forms, the initial recording of measurements and measurement control sheets) shall be identified;

Physical inventory

Description of procedures, scheduled frequency, methods of operator’s inventory taking (both for the number of items as well as their nuclear material weights), including relevant assay methods and expected accuracy, access to nuclear material, possible methods for the physical verification of fresh and irradiated nuclear materials;

Operational and accounting records (including internal transfer forms, method of adjustment or correction, control measures and responsibility for records).

Description of how these records are maintained, including when an adjustment or correction is needed, place where the records can be consulted, retention time and language;

Particular accounting provisions

Description of particular provisions, e.g. for the designation of batch IDs and methods for preventing, detecting and timely fixing of accounting discrepancies.

28.

Provisions related to existing or foreseen containment and surveillance measures (general description in reference to floor plan and installation layout enabling to install seals, cameras, lasers, remote data transmission, etc.).

29.

For each measurement point of the material balance area, provide the following information, when applicable:
