GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Report To The Secretary Of Energy The U.S. Nuclear Materials Information System Can Improve Service To Its User Agencies The computer-supported information system, the Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguards System, is the most comprehensive transaction data file available on U.S. nuclear materials in domestic and international commerce. Domestically, it tracks movement of nuclear materials and supports licensing and inspection activities at nuclear facilities. Internationally, its information is used to assist in policymaking, arms control activities, and fulfilling U.S. international obligations. The Department of Energy (DOE) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission manage and fund the system and are its most extensive users. A number of other entities also use information from the system. Some users do not believe system data are reasonably accurate and adequate for their purposes. Problems with the system have been identified in numerous DOE-sponsored studies and in a prior GAO report. Efforts have been made to improve the system, especially the accuracy of its data on international transactions; however, further management and operational improvements are needed to make it more effective in serving users. GAO recommends several actions for DOE including: developing a long- range management plan for the system, establishing an interagency steering committee to oversee the planning process, evaluating the organizational responsibilities for the system, and reviewing various operational improvements identified in previous studies and imple- menting the most cost-effective ones. . . ..125998 7< GAO/NSIAD-85-28 JANUARY 14, 1985
