NMMSS
• Nuclear
• Materials
• Management and
• Safeguards
• System
![Page 3: 1 NMMSS Orientation Brian Horn Nuclear Regulatory Commission Peter Dessaules Department of Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ee85503460f94bf9986/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

NMMSS (continued)
• U.S. Governments’ database to track movements and inventories of nuclear materials– Owned by Department of Energy – Operated by Protection Services Inc. (PSI) in
Germantown, Maryland– Nuclear Regulatory Commission utilizes NMMSS
through a contract with DOE– Information submitted using joint forms (DOE/NRC Form 741, 742, 742c, 740m)

NMMSS (continued)
• Used to satisfy– Domestic needs of the Department of Energy– Domestic needs of the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission – International needs U.S. Government

How do facilities fit into NMMSS?
• Facility data is fed into NMMSS • Facility data undergoes various NMMSS
edit checks • Once data is in NMMSS, it is a part of
history• NMMSS Reports are based on licensee
information submitted to, and processed by, NMMSS
![Page 6: 1 NMMSS Orientation Brian Horn Nuclear Regulatory Commission Peter Dessaules Department of Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ee85503460f94bf9986/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

What types of nuclear material activities do facilities report to NMMSS?
• Imports and exports
• Domestic movements
• Inventory
• Inventory adjustments
• “DOE-owned” Ownership changes

Data security
• NMMSS protects your data
• Physical gaps between NMMSS database and outside world
• Only the NMMSS operator can directly access data from NMMSS database
• We are very protective of your data submitted to NMMSS
![Page 14: 1 NMMSS Orientation Brian Horn Nuclear Regulatory Commission Peter Dessaules Department of Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ee85503460f94bf9986/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

One system – two sets of rules
• DOE and NRC have slightly different needs and requirements of NMMSS
• DOE:– NMMSS tracks 17 DOE-owned materials – DOE requires each DOE sites to report inventories
every Sept. 30th
• NRC:– NMMSS tracks 8 materials located at licensee sites– NRC requires each licensee to report inventory at
least once a year
![Page 15: 1 NMMSS Orientation Brian Horn Nuclear Regulatory Commission Peter Dessaules Department of Energy](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ee85503460f94bf9986/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
