Dear Mr. Chairman:
Pt;blic Law 95-601 directs.the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission to' forward to the Congress a report on the Commission's domestic safeguards prr gram.
We are pleased to forward the enclosed report entitled "NRC Annual Report on Domestic Safeguards (Fiscal Year 1978)".
e The Congress specifically asked 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 safeguar'ds at fuel cycle facilities; the report also summarizes actions required by NRC at any fuel fac-ility whose safeguards systems are judged to provide less than high assurance protection against our design threat.
+
In addi. tion, the report contains a discussion of NRC's criteria for safeguards adequacy at nuclear reactors and for transportation r
activities.
The process of preparing this report has been useful in focusing oud attention on issues. associated with the adequacy of domestic safeguards.
As a result; we have identified areas where our evolving safeguards regulatory policy needs improvement, and we have begun a systematic evaluation of these areas.
We intend to implement any needed chang ~s e
as soon as possible.
