mplementing the DOE M 441.1 - 1 Nuclear Materials Packaging Manual at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory

Background Following implementation of the DOE 3013 long term storage standard, discussion began on how nuclear materials are packaged for int erim storage at Department of Energy (DOE) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) sites. In 2005 the Defense Nuclear Facility Safety Board (DNFSB) issued a recommendation that DOE develop requirements for interim storage of nuclear materials . In response to this recommendation DOE developed the Nuclear Material Packaging Manual DOE Manual 441.1 - 1 (DOE, 2008) .
