Nuclear Material Accounting

Nuclear Material Accounting (NMA) is a system used to track and manage nuclear materials, such as uranium and plutonium, to ensure they are used safely and securely. It involves monitoring the amount of material produced, used, and stored to prevent misuse or theft, particularly in relation to nuclear weapons. NMA is critical for regulatory compliance and safeguards, helping to promote transparency and confidence among nations regarding nuclear activities. By maintaining accurate records and conducting regular audits, NMA plays a vital role in global nuclear security and non-proliferation efforts.
