Implementation of LANMAS at Los Alamos National Laboratory: Enhancing Nuclear Material Tracking

The implementation of the Los Alamos Nuclear Material Accounting System (LANMAS) at Los Alamos National Laboratory addresses the outdated Nuclear Material Tracking System (MASS) over 20 years old, which lacked technical support and infrastructure. With over 280 users, LANMAS provides a modern solution that integrates existing DOE-approved systems, tailored site-specific modules, and enhances security protocols. Phased development ensures continuous support and user training, leading to improved materials tracking and accounting while addressing lessons learned throughout its deployment.

  1. LANL’s Implementation of LANMAS Los Alamos National Laboratory Benny J. Martinez Michael Kaufman Randy Fraser Los AlamosNationalLaboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  2. Background • Previous Nuclear Material Tracking System (MASS) • Over 20 years old • No on-site technical support • Number of users • Over 280 users • Hardwired infrastructure • Direct Modem and STU-III access • Security plan expiring Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  3. Path Forward • Build • Cost of developing new NMTS • Time frame to develop new NMTS • Use existing DOE approved system (LANMAS) • Develop Site-Specific modules Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  4. LANMAS ImplementationPhase I (FY 2009) • Los Alamos Nuclear Control and Accounting System (LAMCAS) • LANMAS core • 18 months from time of funding to implementation which included: • Gap analysis • Security Plan • QA Process • Development • Purchase and setup of hardware • Testing • Data Migration Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  5. LANL-Specific Modules Required • Historical View • Historical 741 Shipment and Receipts • Historical Remarks • Site-Wide Rollup • LANL Specific Reports • Measurement Control • Data Feeds • Current Inventory • Historical Transactions • Material at Risk (MAR), etc • Cost Accounting Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  6. LAMCAS Overview Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  9. LAMCAS Data Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  10. LAMCAS User Interface Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  11. QA Process • Project Plan • Requirements • Software Design Document • Test Plans • Test documentation • User Guides Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  12. Training • Diverse set of users • Super Coders • Knowledgeable set of MC&A users • Full time job • Operational set of users • Part time • Many ways of doing the same function • Just in time training • Continuous training • Quick Reference reminders Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  13. LANMAS Customization • LANMAS • Plug-Ins • Allows users to view and edit Remarks in LANMAS • Set Attractiveness Level by SMT/IDC to meet LANL’s requirements for MIX/SPLIT/ADJUSTMENT • Peer Review turned on • AssayMethod used to track type of instrument used to measure material • ADMIN/Gridset • For each LANMAS form display fields that are of used by LANL • ADMIN/Security • Create >100 User groups to manage security permissions Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  14. Lessons Learned • Training • Just in time training/re-training • Security Plan Approval • Time and effort to get approved • Deployment infrastructure model • Secure Desktop on Demand (Thin client environment) • Data Migration issues • LSAuto versus direct insert into LANMAS Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  15. Lessons Learned (Cont.) • Cyber security requirements • Separation of duties • System Administrators • Database Administrators • MC&A LAMCAS Operations • Single point of contact for all issues • LAMCAS Operations • Great LANMAS Support Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  16. Phase II (FY 2010) • Physical Inventory Module • Label printing Barcodes • Statistical Sampling for Item Monitoring • Measurement Control enhancements • Data Feed Option for Statisticians • Trending enhancements • Inventory Evaluation • From-To Trace • Propagation of Variance (POV) Data Feeds • Process Monitoring • Exception reports • Automated roll-up calculation • Outside TA-55, CMR • Classified Beta System • Procure and install classified test environment Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  17. Phase III (FY 2011) • Maintenance • LANMAS 3.3 • SQL Server 2008 R2 • LAMCAS Visual Studio 2010 and 3rd party tools • On-going support • Responding to new requirements • MAR • Phase II MAR Tracker Interface • COST • Create new LANL COST module • Update SRS COST module with updated version • Automate Physical Inventory process • Portable Barcode Scanners, Reconciliation • Process Monitoring • Reports • POV Automation • Automate TID inventory • Portable Barcode Scanners, Reconciliation • Measurement Control • Trending • WCATS • Create interface to automate waste shipments Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748

  18. Summary • Change is Hard • System is operational • Training is on-going • Continue to add functionality • Different users require different views of the data Los Alamos National Laboratory LA-UR 10-02748
