This standard provides administrative requirements for the use of nondestructive assay measurements (NDA) technologies to support the goals of an NCS program for fissionable material operations. This standard addresses the responsibilities of management, supervision, NCS staff, and NDA staff. It also addresses NDA measurement plans, NCS evaluations, and the performance and maintenance of key NDA programmatic elements to support the implementation of NCS controls for operations with fissionable materials outside of nuclear reactors. This standard applies to NDA measurements of fissionable material for NCS purposes (in situ and containerized material) to determine values of criticality parameters such as mass, concentration, and isotopic composition.
