Join us at the American Nuclear Society Global 2026 Conference for a workshop on nuclear material control and accounting (MC&A), powered by Sandia National Laboratories’ Material Accountancy Performance Indicator Toolkit (MAPIT). Course objectives include an MC&A introduction, MAPIT installation/introduction, an overview of domestic regulatory guidelines and statistical foundations, MC&A key definitions and formulas and hands-on MAPIT exercises.
Using a HALEU fuel fabrication facility as a reference, participants will: define measurement points and uncertainties, compute relevant MC&A equations (such as inventory difference and its associated standard error), implement and compare measurement control programs, and simulate anomalies to practice root‐cause analysis. These scenarios can be directly translated from practice to purpose using MAPIT to detect, investigate, and propose corrective and preventive actions. Participants will gain a fundamental and practical understanding of the statistical MC&A challenges and resolutions for domestic nuclear fuel cycle facilities.
