Dear Mr. President:
Public Law 95-601 directs the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to forward to the Congress a report on the Cormiission's domestic safeguards program. We are pleased to forward the enclosed report entitled "NRC Annual Report on Domestic Safeguards (Fiscal Jear 1978)".
The Congress specifically arked that the annual report include an assessment of the effectiveness and adequacy of safeguards at facilities
.+: -
and activities licensed by the Commission.
To this end, the report details NRC's criteria for judging the adequacy of safeguards at 5
fuel cycle facilitics; the report.also summarizes actions required by NRC at any fuel facility whose safeguards systems are judged zo
[
provide less than high assurance, protection against our design threat.
~~
In addition, the report contaira a discussion of NRC's criteria for safeguards adequacy at nuclear reactors and for transportation activities.
The process of preparing this rept t. has been useful in focusing our attention on issues associated with the adequacy of domestic safeguards.
As a result, we have identified areas where our evolving safeguards r gulatory policy needs improvement, and we have begun a systematic..
F evaluation of these areas.
We intend to implement any needed changes as soon as possible.
