GAO is concerned that DOE's new tracking system will not overcome existing limitations that are often caused by non-system problems. For example, the system lacks data that are not required to be reported under the U.S. agreements for cooperation. GAO believes that DOE should have explored systems alterations and asked its intended users to try to mitigate some of these limitations. In addition, because DOE has not followed good systems development practices, it cannot be sure that the system will be cost-effective or will even fulfill the needs of its major users. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-AIMD-95-5/html/GAOREPORTS-RCED-AIMD-95-5.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-RCED-AIMD-95-5/pdf/GAOREPORTS-RCED-AIMD-95-5.pdf GAO/RCED/AIMD-95-5 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-RCED-AIMD-95-5 Letter Report GAO/RCED/AIMD-95-5; Nuclear Nonproliferation: U.S. International Nuclear Materials Tracking Capabilities Are Limited; International cooperation International agreements Foreign governments Nuclear proliferation Systems design Strategic materials Data collection operations International relations Exporting Computerized information systems DOE Nuclear Materials Management and Safeguard System Desert Storm U.S. Bilateral Physical Protection Program
