1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Reporting Guidelines
Refer to the current version of the NRC Instructions for Completing Nuclear
Materials Transaction Reports; NUREG/BR-0006 and Instructions for
Completing Material Balance Report and Physical Inventory Listing
NUREG/BR-0007 for specific Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requirements
in reporting data to the NMMSS. These documents specify that data submissions must
be made in acceptable electronic forms to the Nuclear Materials Management
Safeguards System (NMMSS) and provide the information necessary for completing
the source documents (forms) referenced in this directory.
NRC licensees required to report government owned material to NMMSS should refer
to the D-23, Personal Computer Data Input for Department of Energy
Contractors for guidance in the electronic reporting of this material.

1.2. Purpose
This directory provides formatting requirements for the reporting of nuclear material
information in electronic file formats to the NMMSS in accordance with the NRC
guidelines. A reporting licensee has the option to prepare reported data in an electronic
file using the formats presented here using a variety of text editors, XML editors or
programmatically in Material Control and Accountability Systems. This data is then
saved as a text file and sent to NMMSS via diskette, CD, Zip disk, SIMEX, Direct
Link, or electronic mail.

1.3. Acceptable Electronic Formats
The preferred format accepted by NMMSS for electronic data transfer is eXtensible
Markup Language (XML). New technologies are constantly being developed to
improve data management. As these methods are tested and analyzed by NMMSS
staff, revisions will be made to data input procedures and guidelines. Visit the
NMMSS website, www.hss.energy.gov/nmmss, for the latest information and
guidelines.
Another alternative for submitting electronic data to NMMSS is the use of the
Safeguards Management Software (SAMS) for transcribing reported data into a
machine readable format. This software is currently available at no charge from
NMMSS.
1.3.1. Extensible Markup Language (XML) File Format
The XML format may also be referred to as tagged data as it is based upon the use
of tags (words bracketed by '<' and '>') and attributes (of the form name="value").
The NMMSS XML data submission format uses specific tags to establish the

D-24
Page 2

NMMSS Directory of Electronic File Formats for Data Submission
March 2020

limits of units of data. An advantage of using XML is that data is represented by
tags which identify the values being reported; however, these tags must be entered
exactly as specified or they will not be recognizable to the import programs.
The rules for XML files are strict. The following conditions will cause a
failure in an XML data import:
A tag entered incorrectly (For example; using the wrong tag name,
inserting spaces, or using improper capitalization).
A missing tag.
A missing end tag indicator (designated by the /) for every opening
tag.
A data attribute without surrounding quotes.
Field sizes of reported data may be adjusted to fit the value, instead of requiring
additional spaces to meet the allocated size as seen in the 80 Column file formats.
The reported data is entered into double quotes to the right of the attribute tag.
Then, the file is saved as a text file using a file extension of .xml and submitted to
NMMSS.
The use of the following characters inside the double quotes surrounding the
value may be forced to be accepted by substituting the following code shown in
the table below in place of the character. For example; to report a text comment
such as Insert batch id ‘Batch6a’ in block 24D. the tag value would need to be expressed
as "Insert batch id 'Batch6a' in block 24D."
Character
'
"
&
<
>

Code
'
"
&
<
>

Each type of reported data; Inventory, Transaction, and Material Balance, has
specific tags as shown in more detail under each section of this document. Data
codes, which are necessary to identify the data in the 80 Column file format, are
inferred by the XML tag structure and therefore are not required. Refer to the
individual data sections for additional details. Additional resources are available
about XML online from the following websites:
www.w3schools.com
www.ucc.ie/xml/

1.4. Understanding the Format Presentation
Within each format table presented in this directory the form identifier is listed along
with the block identification number or number character combination found on the

D-24
Page 3

NMMSS Directory of Electronic File Formats for Data Submission
March 2020

form. XML tables will display the tag identifier (XML attribute) to be used for this
block.
The Type column defines the form and length of the accepted data. For example,
‘Char(1)’ indicates that the data will consist of a single character (letter or number) and
‘Char(20)’ indicates that the data will consist of a combination of 20 characters, letters,
and numbers. ‘Date’ indicates that the data is a calendar date and will be accepted in a
specified format. ‘Num(11,2)’ indicates the data is restricted to numbers and has an
overall length of 11 numbers of which two are to the right of the decimal. In the XML
format, a numeric value must contain a decimal. For example, if the type is specified
as Num(12,3) and the number value to be submitted is the whole number 15; enter 15
as 15.00 (translates to 15.000).
The Essential column indicates the minimum data submission requirements for
successful file import when a ‘ ’ is present in the column. This column does not
indicate the necessity of data required by the NRC to be reported; only the requirement
for a successful file import into NMMSS.
The Note column lists any remarks that will indicate special instructions, such as the
format to be used or a value that remains constant. Note that all dates are to be entered
in the format MM/DD/YYYY in XML formatted file. This means that dates will be
reported with their two-digit month indication followed by the two digit day indication
and then the four digit year. Note that negative numbers are generally permitted and
indicated by the placement of a minus sign (-) to the left of the number.

1.5. File Creation
A file extension should be assigned which indicates the type of file format used. For
example, an XML file should always end in .xml.

1.6. Data Submission Methods
Contact the NMMSS staff, (301)-903-6251, for additional directions regarding the use
of SIMEX, Direct Link, or electronic mail. Electronic data may be mailed through the
U.S. Postal Service on electronic media to the following address.

2. TRANSACTION DATA
2.1. Requirements for DOE/NRC Form 741 and Concise Notes
2.1.1. XML File Formatting
An example of transaction submission in XML format is shown below. Additional
examples are shown in Appendix B along with the corresponding DOE/NRC forms. This
is an example of raw XML produced by SAMS.

An important part of the XML format is the nesting of the records that make up a 741. In
XML there are identifiers called Nodes which correspond to rows in the XML data. The
Nodes have identifiers called Attributes which correspond to the data fields. For example,
the SHIPMENT Node corresponds to the 741 Header record and the SHIPPERRIS
Attribute is the Shipper RIS field of the Header record. Another important element of
XML Nodes is that they can contain other nodes as known as nested nodes. The

NMMSS Directory of Electronic File Formats for Data Submission
March 2020

Shipment Node(parent) can have MATERIAL, CONCISENOTE and OBLIGATION
nodes (children). The following shows the nesting of the nodes for a 741.

SHIPMENT (header information, Shipper RIS, Receiver RIS etc..)
CONCISENOTE
• lines that make up the concise note
OBLIGATION
• lines required to report the obligations
ELEMENT
Contains element information for OBLIGATION
ISOTOPE
Contains isotope information for ELEMENT
MATERIAL
• lines required to report the detail lines
ELEMENT

The next sample is the same XML file as above, but has been indented using tabs to make
it for readable to the human eye. It will process the same as the raw data. It also
emphasizes the nesting of the data rows in the XML.

3.1. Requirements for DOE/NRC Form 742C
3.1.1. XML File Formatting
An example of an inventory submission in XML format is shown below. Additional
examples are shown in Appendix B along with the corresponding DOE/NRC form. This
is an example of raw XML produced by SAMS.

An important part of the XML format is the nesting of the records that make up a 742C.
In XML there are identifiers called Nodes which correspond to rows in the XML data.
The Nodes have identifiers called Attributes which correspond to the data fields. For
example, the Inventory Node corresponds to the 742C Header record and the RIS
Attribute is the RIS field of the Header record. Another important element of XML
Nodes is that they can contain other nodes as known as nested nodes. The Inventory
Node (parent) can have MATERIAL and CONCISENOTE nodes (children). The
following shows the nesting of the nodes for a 742C.

APPENDIX A
PROCESS CODE
PROCESS CODE

DEFINITION:

The process code identifies the type of system action to be taken for the data
being reported as follows:
1. Process code A is used to signify the initial submittal of data. Use process
code C to replacement a data set already submitted to the NMMSS;
2. Process code C is used to signify the replacement of previously reported
data. Its use is restricted to the replacement of data in the same reporting
month;
3. Process code D applies when the facility intends the deletion of previously
reported data. Its use is also restricted to applying only to data in the same
reporting month; and
4. Process code Z is used in conjunction with action code D by the receiver
to accept a shipper’s change without the receiver having to retype the
detailed lines.

SPECIAL NOTE: If replacement or deletion of data is desired, it is suggested that the reporting
facility ensures that the accounting month to be affected is still “open” (being
processed by the NMMSS) by calling the appropriate NMMSS contact since
these actions are restricted and based on specified accounting periods.
