DEFINITIONS

1.  ALLOTMENT.  The annual quantity of nuclear material allocated to a field
    office for a user project for which the field office has been assigned
    program management responsibility by a Headquarters program.

2.  CENTRAL SCRAP MANAGEMENT OFFICE.  A field office designated to develop,
    integrate, and coordinate disposition of designated nuclear material
    scrap and residues from facilities that do not have the capability for
    processing that material.  Current Central Scrap Management Offices are
    the Savannah River Operations Office for plutonium, plutonium-238,
    tritium, neptunium and heavy water and the Oak Ridge Operations Office
    for enriched, normal and depleted uranium, uranium-233 and thorium.
    Central Scrap Management Office operations are controlled by the DOE
    Office of Facilities.

3.  "E" PROJECT MATERIAL.  Unusable inactive nuclear material (scrap/
    residues and spent fuel/targets), not identified with "I" project
    numbers, designated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
    (See Chapter VI for details.)

4.  FIELD OFFICE.  As used in this Order, includes all of the DOE designated
    operations offices and other offices such as the Pittsburgh and
    Schenectady Naval Reactors Offices, and the Rocky Flats Office.

5.  FORECASTS.  Projections of nuclear material inventories, requirements,
    returns and transactions for existing and planned user projects.

6.  "I" PROJECT MATERIAL.  Unusable nuclear materials, under the program
    management of the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste
    Management, for which no recovery processing is planned (except that
    which is incidental to stabilization).  (Does not include material
    categorized as waste that has been removed from the DOE accountability
    system in accordance with DOE 5633.3A, 5633.4 and 5633.5.)

7.  INACTIVE NUCLEAR MATERIAL.  Nuclear material that is not currently being
    used.

8.  IRRADIATED NUCLEAR MATERIAL.  Nuclear material that, in its existing
    form, has been subjected to irradiation in a nuclear reactor or
    accelerator and that consequently delivers an external radiation dose
    requiring special containment and handling.

9.  "M" PROJECT MATERIAL.  Inactive nuclear material, usable in its present
    form for direct introduction into user project processes, that is
    managed by the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management.

10. MATERIALS MANAGEMENT PLAN.  A planning document prepared annually that
    provides analyses of nuclear materials supply and demand requirements
    and related materials management issues for the current fiscal year plus
    the following 11-year planning period to support DOE, Department of
    Defense, and other nuclear programs.

11. MATERIALS MANAGEMENT REVIEW OR APPRAISAL.  Activities to evaluate the
    effectiveness of the materials management program, including established
    policies, procedures, and performance of nuclear materials management
    functions, and the identification of actions necessary to improve the
    program.

12. MATERIALS TRANSACTIONS.

    a.   Withdrawal.  Receipt of nuclear material by a user project from a
         supply project.

    b.   Return.  Removal of nuclear material from a user project to a
         supply project.

    c.   Transfer In.  Receipt of nuclear material by a user project from
         any source other than a supply project.

    d.   Transfer Out.  Removal of nuclear material from a user project to
         any destination other than a supply project.

13. NUCLEAR MATERIAL.  A collective term for materials subject to the
    provisions of this Order.  (See Figure VIII-2.)

14. NUCLEAR MATERIALS MANAGEMENT AND SAFEGUARDS SYSTEM.  The national data
    base and information support system for nuclear materials controlled by
    the U.S. Government, created to support national safeguards and
    management objectives in the domestic and foreign utilization of nuclear
    resources.  The system stores data on nuclear material transactions and
    inventories, and produces a wide range of reports.

15. NUCLEAR MATERIAL VALUE.  The current dollar value of a nuclear material
    asset.

16. PROJECT NUMBER.  A 10-character alphanumeric description that identifies
    nuclear materials for tasks or phases of work assigned to a field office
    by Headquarters programs.  Project numbers generally are derived from
    the DOE Budget and Reporting Classification System.

17. REPORTING IDENTIFICATION SYMBOLS.  Unique combinations of three or four
    letters that are assigned to each reporting facility for the purpose of
    identification in the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System
    data base.  Information relating to the construction and interpretation
    of these symbols is contained in the "Directory of Reporting
    Identification Symbols" available from the Nuclear Materials Management
    and Safeguards System.

18. RESERVE.  A quantity of nuclear material set aside for a specific
    reason, such as a strategic reserve for defense applications or a
    programmatic reserve for identified program use.

19. SCRAP NUCLEAR MATERIAL.  Unirradiated nuclear material, not usable in
    its existing form, that requires treatment to render it useful and which
    can be recovered safely and economically.  Excluded are nuclear
    materials that are a process feed or require treatment only to remove
    decay products prior to programmatic use.  Scrap nuclear materials are
    commonly referred to as residues.  (Does not include material
    categorized as waste that has been removed from the DOE accountability
    system in accordance with DOE 5633.3A, 5633.4 and 5633.5.)

20. SPECIAL PROJECTS.  Projects that identify nuclear materials under the
    program management control of the Office of Environmental Restoration
    and Waste Management, but does not include user project materials.
    Special project materials are identified with "I" project numbers or
    other project numbers established by the Office of Nuclear Weapons
    Management.

21. SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL.  Fuel that has been permanently withdrawn from a
    nuclear reactor following irradiation, but has not been processed to
    remove its constituent elements.  (Does not include material categorized
    as waste that has been removed from the DOE accountability system in
    accordance with DOE 5633.3A, 5633.4 and 5633.5.)

22. SUPPLY PROJECTS.  Nonuser projects that produce, process, or store
    nuclear materials.  ("E" and "M" projects are considered supply
    projects.)  Supply project materials may be available for distribution
    to user projects.

23. UNIRRADIATED MATERIAL.  Material that, in its existing form, has not
    been irradiated in a nuclear reactor or accelerator, or if it has been
    irradiated, the surface dose does not exceed 10 millirem per hour.
    (Includes nuclear material that previously was irradiated, chemically
    processed, and separated.)

24. UNUSABLE INACTIVE NUCLEAR MATERIAL.  Inactive nuclear material that has
    no programmatic use in its existing form.  This is a general term used
    to include materials such as spent fuel and scrap.  (This material may
    be designated "E" or "I" project material.)

25. USABLE INACTIVE NUCLEAR MATERIAL.  Inactive nuclear material that can be
    reused in its present form.  It consists of material in standard product
    form and/or specially prepared forms.  (This material may be designated
    with an "M" prefix project number or other special project numbers to
    designate material in supply or reserve projects.)

26. USER PROJECTS.  Projects that use nuclear materials for research and
    development, production and nonproduction reactors, and weapon
    production activities.
