4. DELAY MECHANISMS (BARRIERS). Delay mechanisms must be employed to delay access, removal or unauthorized use of Category I and IIquantities of SNM and nuclear weapons. Delay mechanisms may include both passive physical barriers (e.g., walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and security bars) and activated barriers (e.g., sticky foam, pop-up barriers, and cold smoke).

5. PROTECTIVE FORCE. A PF program must be established. A response capability must be maintained to deny, neutralize, contain, and/or perform recapture/recovery and pursuit missions within the required response times. (See DOE 0 473.2, ProtectiveForce Program, dated 6-30-00.)

6. STORAGE CONTROLS. Each facility must have controls for SNM and nuclear weapons held in storage consistent with the graded safeguards approach required by paragraphs 7 through 10. Controls for storage must-

a. be documented,

b. ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the storage repositories,

c. detect unauthorized access,

d. authenticate SNM movements into or out of a storage location,

e. include procedures for investigating and reporting abnormal conditions,

f. provide a record system to document ingress into and egress from storage, and

g. define procedures for conducting inventories and daily administrative checks.

7. CATEGORY I SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL. The following requirements apply to the use or processing, storage, and transportation of Category I quantities of SNM.

a. Use or Processing. Category I quantities of SNM are to be located within material access areas (MAAs), inside a protected area (PA). Any location within an MAA that contains unattended Category I quantities of SNM in use or process must be equipped with IDS or other effective means of detection approved by the cognizant DOE authority.

b. Storage. Category I quantities of SNM that are not in use or process must be stored within an MAA as follows.

(1) Category 1,Attractiveness Level A SNM must be stored in a vault.

Storage facilities constructed after 7-15-94 for Category I Attractiveness Level A SNM must be underground or below-grade.

11-4 DOE M 473.1-1 12-23-02 (2) Category I, Attractiveness Level B SNM must be stored in a vault or provided enhanced protection that exceeds vault-type room storage (e.g.,

collocated with a PF response station and/or activated barriers).

(3) Category 1,Attractiveness Level C SNM must, as a minimum, be stored in a vault-type room.

c. Transportation. The following requirements apply to the protection of Category I quantities of SNM being transported.

(I) Domestic offsite SNM shipments must be made by the Office of Transportation Safeguards.

(2) Packages or containers containing the SNM must be sealed with tamper-indicating devices.

(3) To protect against the threats described in the "Design Basis Threat for Department of Energy Programs and Facilities (U)," protection measures for movements of the SNM between PAs at the same site, or between PAs and staging areas at the same site, must be under constant surveillance by armed PF escort personnel.

8. CATEGORY 11 SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL. The following requirements apply to the use or processing, storing, and transport of Category 11 quantities of SNM.

a. Use or Processing. Category 11 quantities of SNM must be located within a PA and under material surveillance.

b. Storare. When not in use or process, Category 11 quantities of SNM must be stored in a vault or vault-type room located within a PA.

c. Transportation. Shipments of Category II quantities of SNM must conform to the requirements prescribed in paragraph 7c above.

9. CATEGORY IIl SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL. The following requirements apply to use or processing, storage, and transportation of Category III quantities of SNM.

a. Use or Processing. Category III quantities of SNM must be used or processed within a limited area.

b. Storage. When not in use or process or when unattended, Category III quantities of SNM must be stored within a locked security container or locked room that is located within the minimum of a limited area. The container or locked room containing the SNM must be under the protection of an IDS or physical check by a PF patrol at least every 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
