Dates to Remember in NMMSS § Action Date - MMDDYYYY, this is the date that the activity (shipment, NOL/MD/AL. Etc. ) actually took place § Capture Date - MMDDYYYY, this is the date that the 741 was captured by the system, i. e. , received into the database § Process Date - YYYYMM, date of the process month open during which the transaction was filed

In-House Transactions

What is an In-House Transaction? § An In-House Transaction is a (741) transaction used to report the on-site gains or losses of reportable nuclear materials to the NMMSS, which are not typically part of a shipment or receipt associated with another facility.

In-House Transaction Use § Used to report gains and losses of your inventory. § Report Stand-alone Concise Notes (IAEA). § In some cases it is used to correct previously reported data.

How To Report In-House Transactions § The same as shipment or receipt transactions, except: • Same RIS for both shipper and receiver. • Action Code is “M”. • Must use an Inventory Change Type (ICT) • No Gross Weight reported • No Number of Items reported • Special edit checks apply to some ICT codes used on an In-House transaction. (slide 9).

Other Instances to Complete an In-House Transaction § NMMSS may ask you to correct previously reported data in your NMMSS account. Sometimes using the In-House transaction is the best way to make certain changes. A NMMSS Analyst will assist you in these instances.

ADJUSTMENTS (Also referred to as corrections)

When is a Adjustment transaction required? An Adjustment is required when correcting a previously reported transaction that has been processed and moved to the Historical section of the NMMSS Database. The month in which it was processed is closed.

When do you use a Process Code to make an Adjustment? You can change or delete data on previously submitted transactions that are in an Open month, using a specific Process Code.

Process Codes A – Initial transaction C – Replacement transaction D – Delete a transaction Only used in an open month. Z – Receiver’s acceptance of correction

What is an Open process month? NMMSS normally closes the database processing around the 22 nd of each month for the previous months data received. Example: April processing month will close approximately May 22. Transactions with an Action Date of April or earlier will move to the Historical section of the database. May Action Dates will stay in the Compatibility section of the database. Now May is the “Open” month.

Action Code C Used by the Shipper to make corrections • Adjusting previously reported shipments • Acknowledging receiver adjustments • Accepting receiver adjustments

Action Code D Used by the Receiver to make corrections • Adjusting previously reported receipts • Acknowledging shipper adjustments • Accepting shipper adjustments

Action Code M Used for One Party transactions The Correction Identifier (either alpha or numeric) distinguishes it as an Adjustment.

Five Numeric Fields to be Negated when Correcting Transactions Negated Fields – Number of items – Element weight – Element Limit of Error – Isotope Weight – Isotope Limit of Error

Back Reference Components § Correction Identifier * (First character) • Was = document being corrected • Should be = document now being completed *May be Alpha or Numeric § Line Number (Second and Third Digit) • Was = line number being corrected • Should be = corresponding “was” line number on document now being completed

Things To Remember § The Action Date on a correction can be: • The same as your original transaction, or it can be the current date. In either case, be sure to report the difference on your next annual Material Balance Report after. § The C and D Process Code can only be used in an Open Month. Call NMMSS to see if the month is open and for how long. We try to close on the 22 nd of each month. § Numeric corrections* = Two Party + NMMSS § Alpha corrections = One Party + NMMSS

The Material Balance System

How is the MBR like a Bank Statement? Beginning Balance Plus Deposits Less Withdrawals Equals Ending Balance

Role of Transaction System Facility transaction data is used to create the facility book inventory in the NMMSS, which is compared to the reported MBR.

MBR Example

MBR Example 25 25

Inventory Defined The material in the at a specified point in of a given of a .

INVENTORY EXERCISE Complete a DOE/NRC Form 742 C to reflect the scenario below. Coyote Energy is preparing their physical inventory reports for the annual period ending 7/31/2005. The facility has privately owned material only. Coyote Energy has fuel rods in the reactor that total 120678638 grams of element weight and 3021428 grams isotope weight, enriched at 3 percent. There is 0. 8 percent enriched uranium in cooling with an element weight of 136045239 grams and an isotope weight of 1102837 grams. In addition, the facility has enriched uranium using a composition code of 864 in the amounts of 12 grams element weight and 12 grams isotope weight.
