Special Session on NNSA Materials Control and Accountability (MC&A) Program Initiatives

The NNSA MC&A Implementation Panel, comprised of both federal and contractor NNSA MC&A Program Managers at Headquarters and field levels, was chartered in 2000. Since that time, the NNSA MC&A community identified several initiatives to evaluate the program as a whole and identify where efforts need to be focused to improve overall programmatic health. These initiatives include the Safeguards First Principles Initiative; integration of the risk management concept into MC&A; and the development, implementation, and independent evaluation of an MC&A system effectiveness model and tool. This special panel session will address all these initiatives and update the community as to progress and next steps.
