NMCA SYSTEM UPGRADE AND INTRODUCING NEW TECHNICAL MEANS IN- TO NMCA SYSTEM AT UMP JSC

Ulba Metallurgical Plant JSC (UMP JSC) is one of the largest in the world utility which pro- duces Uranium fuel for nuclear power facilities. The plant is a part of the National Atomic Company Kazatomprom. UMP JSC had been under IAEA safeguards for over 20 years. For all those years a system of nuclear material control and accounting had been established and is still improving and up- graded. Meeting the requirements by IAEA to the accounting of NM under processing at UMP JSC could not be possible without applying an automated system of Uranium account- ing and measurement.
