-4 73.55(d)(5), contractor individuals are not allowed to take badges offsite.
In accordance with the plants' physical security plans, neither licensee employees nor contractors are allowed to take badges offsite.
Under the proposed system, each individual who is authorized for unescorted entry into protected areas would have the physical characteristics of his/her hand (hand geometry) registered with his/her badge number in the access control computer. Access is then controlled by the individual requesting access placing his/her badge into the card reader and his/her hand on a measuring surface, the computer then compares the hand geometry to the registered badge number. If the characteristics of the hand geometry stored in the computer match the badge number, access is granted. If the characteristics do not match, access is denied. This provides a nontransferable means of identifying that the individual possessing the badge is the individual who was granted unescorted access. It also provides a positive means of assuring that a stolen or lost badge could not be used to gain access, thus eliminating the need to issue and retrieve the badges while maintaining the same high level of assurance that access is granted to only authorized individuals. All other access processes, including search function capability, would remain the same. The system will not be used for persons requiring escorted access (i.e., visitors).
The access process will continue to be under the observation of security personnel located within a hardened cubicle who have final control over the release of the entrance station turnstiles. A numbered picture badge identification system will continue to be used for all individuals who are authorized access to the protected area without escorts. Badges will continue to be displayed by all individuals while inside the protected area.
