and fractions of less than 0.5 shall be rounded down. Abbreviations used
throughout the Order are: metric ton (MT), kilogram (kg), and gram (gm).
/2 Deuterium quantities should be converted to heavy water equivalent
quantities by multiplying the deuterium quantities by 4.98.
c. Forecasts shall be accompanied by relevant assumptions upon which
entries are based.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING DOE F 5660.1. The specific instructions
shown below correspond to the item numbers on DOE F 5660.1.
a. Blocks 1-10. Enter the 10-character alphanumeric project number.
Material in projects prefixed with "M", "I", and "E" designators
should not be included in the forecasts.
b. Project Title. Enter the title of the project number noted in
blocks (1-10). The project title should agree with the project
number contained in the official DOE Project Number-Title Index
(Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System T-141 report).
c. Block 11. Enter the appropriate material type code applicable to
all of the items on the page. List only one material type on each
DOE F 5660.1. If more space is required, continue on another DOE F
5660.1, repeating material type, project number, and title.
Material Type Code
------------- ----
U-235 ...................................... 1
Pu ......................................... 2
U-233 ...................................... 3
Pu-238 ..................................... 4
D2O ........................................ 5
Tritium .................................... 6
Other (specify) ............................ 7
Forecasts for Pu-242, Am-243, Np-237, curium, normal and depleted
uranium should use Code 7 "Other" with the material noted, as
appropriate. If forecasts are required for nuclear materials not
listed above, the materials should be identified under Code 7,
"Other".
d. Entry Type and Block 12. Enter the appropriate entry type and
entry type code shown below for all entries applicable to a line.
Entry type codes should be arranged in numerical order. Several
lines may have the same entry type because of different material
assays. Multiple entries for the same entry type code should be
listed in decreasing materials assay.
Entry Type Code
---------- ----
Beginning Inventory ............................. 1
Withdrawal ...................................... 2
Unirradiated Return ............................. 3
Irradiated Return ............................... 4
Transfer In ..................................... 5
Transfer Out .................................... 6
Burnup, Losses, and Expended in Nuclear Tests ... 7
Formation ....................................... 8
Launch .......................................... 9
Ending Inventory ................................ 0
e. Definitions of Entry Types.
(1) Beginning Inventory. The actual inventory at the beginning of
the current fiscal year of the forecast period reported by
project number. All quantities assigned to the project should
be included in this inventory without regard to physical
location.
(2) Withdrawal. Receipt of nuclear material by a user project
from a supply project. (The receipt of nuclear material from
an "E" or "M" project by a user project is considered a
withdrawal.)
(3) Return. Removal of nuclear material from a user project to a
supply project. The removal of material from any user project
to an "E" or "M" project number (see Chapter VI) is also
considered a return. Returns are further described as either
unirradiated or irradiated material.
(4) Transfer In. A receipt of nuclear material by a user project
from any source other than a supply project. Includes
material obtained from other user projects, Federal agencies,
foreign countries, or private ownership. Footnote the project
number and location from which the material is to be obtained.
Material obtained from another contractor or location without
a change in project number is not considered a transfer in.
(5) Transfer Out. A removal of nuclear material from a user
project to any destination other than a supply project.
Includes material provided to other user projects, other
Federal agencies, foreign countries, domestic companies for
private use, and "I" projects. Footnote the project number
and location to which the material will be transferred.
Material sent to another contractor or location without a
change in project number is not a transfer out.
(6) Burnup, Losses, and Expended in Nuclear Tests. Removals from
inventory as a result of processing, fabrication, irradiation,
decay, weapon tests, operational losses, and discards.
(7) Formation. Material produced as a result of irradiation of
other materials, e.g., U-233 or Pu produced in reactors.
Tritium produced in D2O reactor moderator is excluded.
(8) Launch. Material removed from inventory as a result of rocket
launch into space, e.g., Pu-238 for electrical generation.
(9) Ending Inventory. Inventory for a project at the end of each
fiscal year (regardless of location or assay) calculated by
adding receipts to the beginning inventory and subtracting all
removals.
f. Blocks 13-15 and 16-18.
(1) Enter assay for materials under each entry type, as required.
Assays are not required for Entry Type O "Ending Inventory".
Assays shall be entered for materials as follows:
Material Assay Data
-------- ----------
U-235 Wt % U-235 to nearest 0.1%
Pu Wt % Pu-240 to nearest 0.1%
U-233 Ppm U-232 in uranium
D2O Do not enter assay data
Pu-238 Wt % Pu-238 to nearest 0.1%
Tritium Do not enter assay data
Normal U Do not enter assay data
Depleted U Do not enter assay data
Pu-242 Wt % Pu-242 to nearest 0.1%
Am-243 Wt % Am-243 to nearest 0.1%
Curium Do not enter assay data
Np-237 Do not enter assay data
(2) Single assays shall be shown in blocks 16-18. Ranges of
assays may be shown by using blocks 13-15 for the lower assay
and blocks 16-18 for the upper assay. Ranges of assays should
be used for withdrawals only when absolutely necessary (i.e.,
only where specific assays cannot be identified). Assay
ranges for withdrawals will be interpreted as meaning that any
material within the indicated assay range is acceptable.
Materials with only slight differences in assay (e.g., one
percent U-235, Pu-240, or Pu-238) may be combined and reported
as a single quantity with a single weighted average or major
assay. Small quantities of materials that individually are
less than a reportable quantity may be combined as a single
quantity with a single weighted average assay. Weight percent
should be shown for entries identified as burnup, losses, and
expended in nuclear tests (entry type code 7). For material
consumed in a reactor, enter the weight percent of the
material loaded into the reactor before irradiation. Assays
should be "right adjusted", i.e., entries start at right and
work left. A range of 5 to 50 ppm U-232, for example, would
be shown as:
________________________
| | | | |
| | 5 | 5 | 0 |
|_______|___|______|___|
For weight percent, the right-hand column is used for tenths
of a percent.
g. Block 19. For withdrawals, enter a code representing the chemical
form of the material required from nuclear materials supply
projects as follows (generally, only standard form material will be
provided):
Code Form
---- ----
1 Hexafluoride
2 Nitrate
3 Metal
4 Oxide
5 Other
h. Blocks 20-21. Special assay codes should be entered for irradiated
U-235 returns and D2O withdrawals and returns, as follows:
Irradiated U-235
----------------
Code % U-236
---- -------
01 < 1
02 1 < 2
03 2 < 3
04 3 < 4
05 4 < 5
06 5 < 6
07 6 < 7
08 7 < 8
09 8 < 9
10 9 < 10
11 10 < 11
12 11 < 12
13 12 < 13
14 13 < 14
15 >/= 14
D2O Withdrawals and Returns
---------------------------
Microcuries
Code Tritium/Milliliter
---- ------------------
50 < 0.00005
51 0.00005-30
52 > 30
i. Blocks 22-24. Enter the three-character classification code
established by American National Standards Institute in ANSI
N15.1-1970, Classification of Unirradiated Uranium Scrap, to
identify returns of unirradiated and irradiated enriched uranium
(U-235), normal uranium, depleted uranium, and U-233; for returns
of unirradiated and irradiated plutonium, Pu-238, and Pu-242, enter
the three-character classification code in ANSI N15.10-1987,
Unirradiated Plutonium Scrap-Classification. Although the American
National Standards Institute codes were established for
unirradiated scrap, in this instance, they should also be applied
to irradiated materials. Care should be taken to select the most
appropriate American National Standards Institute Code to describe
the material. (Although ANSI N15.1-1970 has expired, it should
continue to be used until it is updated. Copies of ANSI N15.1-1970
can be obtained from the Office of Nuclear Weapons Management.)
j. Blocks 25-29. On the line reflecting beginning inventory (Entry
Code 1), enter the actual beginning inventory for the project,
regardless of location, as of the first day of the current fiscal
year to which the forecast applies. Entries should be right
adjusted.
k. Blocks 30-34. Enter actual quantities for each entry type (except
beginning inventories that are entered in blocks 25-29) for the
first quarter of the fiscal year in which the forecast is prepared.
l. Blocks 35-39. Enter appropriate quantities for each entry type
(except beginning inventories) for the remainder of the current
fiscal year (totals for the second, third, and fourth quarters).
m. Blocks 40-74. Enter quantities for each entry type (except
beginning inventories) for each of the fiscal years. In the blank
"FY" insert the two-character number reflecting the appropriate
fiscal year, e.g., 95, 96. Eleven entries should be made to
reflect consecutive fiscal years of the forecast period.
