Establishing a Basis for a United States—Russian Federation Multi-Year Program in Nuclear Materials Safety
Nuclear Materials Safety Management Volume II, 1999Co-Authors: Paul F. KrumpeAbstract:The comprehensive nature of joint technical collaboration between the United States and the Russian Federation (RF) since 1994 in the field of radiochemical processing Safety and the safe management of nuclear Materials (as depicted within the nuclear fuels cycle program boundary in Figure1), is well known and appreciated among the hundreds of U.S. and RF participants who have directly contributed to this expanding knowledge base. The future development and implementation of this joint initiative will depend on how well both countries access, share, adapt and utilize the extensive open information concerning each other’s approaches to chemical and nuclear fuels/ Materials Safety and Safety management systems. Sustainability of this activity in the foreseeable future will depend on securing the multi-year funding necessary to support continued bilateral (and possibly multilateral) technical exchanges, education and training, research and operational implementation of an improved Safety management culture at key nuclear fuels facilities.

Nuclear Materials Safety Management: US Perspectives
Nuclear Materials Safety Management, 1998Co-Authors: A. Earl Whiteman, Nazir Khalil, Paul F. KrumpeAbstract:The US approach to Safety management at nuclear facilities consists of an integrated system whereby worker, environmental, and public Safety is inherent to the work being performed. This approach is being applied to all Department of Energy (DOE) facilities and programs. A defense-in-depth philosophy identifies hazards and controls them at the level of the source material itself, the primary containment of the material, and, finally, the facility holding the material. Although hazards control has always been a part of the operations around nuclear Materials and facilities, recent steps towards integration have improved overall Safety as well as efficiency and security.

Russian Perspectives on Nuclear Materials Safety Management Methods
Nuclear Materials Safety Management, 1998Co-Authors: L. N. LazarevAbstract:The necessity of developing the safe methods for management of nuclear Materials is evident. However many specialists, including those holding administrative posts, are of the opinion that it is not expedient to set off theses problems as a separate area of studies. Such position is governed by the fact that the Safety problem is an integral part of any technical project. However, this position takes no account of special features of methods for solving the problem under consideration, such as systematic approach, risk analysis etc.

Advanced research workshop: nuclear Materials Safety
1999Co-Authors: L J Jardine, M M MoshkovAbstract:The Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on Nuclear Materials Safety held June 8-10, 1998, in St. Petersburg, Russia, was attended by 27 Russian experts from 14 different Russian organizations, seven European experts from six different organizations, and 14 U.S. experts from seven different organizations. The ARW was conducted at the State Education Center (SEC), a former Minatom nuclear training center in St. Petersburg. Thirty-three technical presentations were made using simultaneous translations. These presentations are reprinted in this volume as a formal ARW Proceedings in the NATO Science Series. The representative technical papers contained here cover nuclear material Safety topics on the storage and disposition of excess plutonium and high enriched uranium (HEU) fissile Materials, including vitrification, mixed oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication, plutonium ceramics, reprocessing, geologic disposal, transportation, and Russian regulatory processes. This ARW completed discussions by experts of the nuclear Materials Safety topics that were not covered in the previous, companion ARW on Nuclear Materials Safety held in Amarillo, Texas, in March 1997. These two workshops, when viewed together as a set, have addressed most nuclear material aspects of the storage and disposition operations required for excess HEU and plutonium. As a result, specific experts in nuclear Materials Safety have beenmore » identified, know each other from their participation in t he two ARW interactions, and have developed a partial consensus and dialogue on the most urgent nuclear Materials Safety topics to be addressed in a formal bilateral program on t he subject. A strong basis now exists for maintaining and developing a continuing dialogue between Russian, European, and U.S. experts in nuclear Materials Safety that will improve the Safety of future nuclear Materials operations in all the countries involved because of t he positive synergistic effects of focusing these diverse backgrounds of nuclear experience on a common objectiveNthe safe and secure storage and disposition of excess fissile nuclear Materials.« less
