| Abstract: | Conclusions The automated nuclear-material recordkeeping system based on the NUMIS-2 program is at present being introduced at the Novororonezh electric power plant. Concurrently, the program is being modified in order to allow its use by the computer model being created in the COMECON member-nations. In the long term, it is expected that the recordkeeping program will become a component part of a single automated control systems of individual electric power plants.The NUMIS-2 program was approved for nuclear-material recordkeeping use after it was tested on the first fuel load of the fourth unit of the Novovoronezh electric power plant. The experiment confirmed the feasibility of automating the processing and storing of nuclear-material information and of recording that information and on the standard computer carriers of information. In principle, these same records can be submitted to the national recordkeeping service (or to the International Atomic Energy Agency) for their further immediate processing by means of the computer program employed by the service. In this manner, the recordkeeping system becomes  closed, which makes it promising.We note that the propesed nuclear-material recordkeeping system satisfied the basic requirements of recordkeeping by computer laid down by the International Atomic Energy Agency as well as the required order of reporting by the plants under the control of the Agency.Translated from Atomnaya Énergiya, Vol. 45, No. 4, pp. 267–270, October, 1978. |
