Nuclear Security: Evaluating a System (Path Analysis)

This presentation provides a system approach that evaluates each element of the PPS and how it contributes to overall system effectiveness; provides an elemental contribution that helps define performance requirements; provides a qualitative and quantitative aspect to PPS performance; and by way of a tool, allows analysts to combine and evaluate qualitative, quantitative data.

Nuclear Security: Quantifying Late Detection in MC&A

The objectives of this presentation are to understand the concept of late detection; review the statistics used in MC&A; specify the Pd and timelines for Pd for MC&A elements for item inventories; review elements of process control as they relate to bulk processes; and specify the timelines and detection thresholds for Pd for MC&A elements for bulk or Processing Operations.

Nuclear Security: Quantifying Late Detection in MC&A for Item Inventories

This objectives for this presentation are to understand how physical inventories, sampling plans, and other checks of the inventory factor into detection of insider activity; be able to quantify the probability of detection for various scenarios in a single inventory and over several inventories; and understand how physical inventory and sampling procedures relate to the assumptions, analysis, and scenarios in the vulnerability assessment.
