|
accident. |
Operator |
– |
an organization that has been |
|
acknowledged to be fit to operate a nuclear |
|
facility and handle NM. |
Physical barrier |
– |
a physical impediment that ensures the |
|
intruder delay. |
Physical inventory |
– |
a list of the physical inventory of nuclear |
listing |
material showing the quantities thereof and |
|
defined by the physical inventory taking. |
Physical inventory |
– |
determination of the physical inventory of |
taking |
nuclear material by measurements. |
Physical protection – a system of organizational, administrative system and legal arrangements and engineered features intended to ensure physical protection of NM and nuclear facilities at a
nuclear site.
Protected area – the nuclear site area surrounded by physical barriers subject to continuous guarding and surveillance, the access to which is limited and controlled.
Random test of – control of NM in which the conclusion is NM made based on results of a random sampling
from the overall quantity of items.
Reference NM – a specimen of NM characteristics whereof have been determined with the specified accuracy intended to test instruments and measurement techniques.
Reports – documents containing NM data and
submitted to superior, inspecting and/or supervising authorities.
Representative – a sample taken from NMcontaining sample articles with definite typical characteristics
for the collection of such articles.
Sabotage |
– |
any deliberate act directed against NM, |
|
nuclear facilities, NM storage points or NM |
|
carrying vehicles and transport nuclear |
|
facilities which could directly or indirectly |
|
lead to an accident and endanger human |
|
health by exposure to radiation and |
|
radioactive |
contamination |
of |
the |
|
environment. |
|
|
|
Safety of NM |
– |
conditions |
that exclude |
unauthorized |
|
activities with NM. |
|
|
Sampling |
– |
selection of NM samples according to a |
|
particular rule. |
|
|
|
Seal |
– |
a device designed for indication of tamper |
|
by identifying integrity thereof. |
|
|
Security alarm |
– |
a collection of detection monitors, call |
system |
alarms and the data acquisition collection, |
|
processing and display system in the PPS. |
|
Shipper/receiver |
– |
the difference between the NM quantity |
difference |
stated by the shipper (certificate data) and the |
|
quantity received by the receiver as |
|
established by verifying measurements. |
|
Significant |
– |
the quantity of NM with respect to which |
quantity |
no probability of a nuclear explosive to be |
created, with regard for any conversion process, can be excluded.
Special non- |
– |
material that does not contain NM or is not |
nuclear material |
fertile, but can be used in nuclear explosives. |
Stratum |
– a collect ion of individual items or batches |
|
of NM with similar or close physical and |
|
chemical characteristics. |
Supervision of the |
– |
a form of control to verify the compliance |
NM accounting |
with the established standards and rules of |
and control system |
NM accounting and control. |
System of |
– |
a system intended for timely obtainment of |
accounting for and |
confident information on presence, location, |
control of NM |
quantity and use of NM, as well as for timely |
|
detection of unauthorized use of NM. |
Tamper indicating |
– |
a device designed to detect unauthorized |
device |
access to nuclear material (seals). |
Theft of NM |
– |
unauthorized removal and movement of |
|
NM to beyond the protected area. |
Transfer of NM |
– |
procedures of NM measurements and |
|
formalization of accounting records during |
|
NM movement from the shipper to the |
|
receiver. |
Two (three) person – |
a form of surveillance with mutual |
rule |
observation beteen two or three NM co- |
|
handlers. |
Unauthorized |
– access without a documented right to same. |
