O MINUTES OF THE ACRS SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING ON SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY WASHINGTON, DC 2 8 1980 JUNE 26, 1980 The ACRS Subcommittee on Safeguards and Security held a meeting on June 26, 1980 in Room 1167, 1717 H St., NW, Washington, DC. The purpose of this meeting was to review the FY 82 budget of the Safeguards Fuel Cycle and Environtrental Research (SAFER) Division of RES in the area of safeguards and security in preparation In addition, the for the ACRS annual reports to the Commission and Congress.
Subcommittee was briefed on recently completed NRC studies relating to Nuclear Power Plant Design Concepts for Sabotage Protection -- perfonned by Sandia Reference National Laboratory, Adversary Actions in the Nuclear Power Fuel Cycle:
Events and Their Consequences -- performed by Science Applications Inc.(SAI),
recent events relating to plant security, and a report on the current status of Notice of this meeting was published in the Federal safeguards-related rules.

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DESIGN CONCEPTS FOR SABOTAGE PROTECTION - Mr. D.
Mr. Ericson of Sandia National Laboratoratories presented the results of a study The ob-entitled, " Nuclear Power Plant Design Concepts for Sabotage Protection."
jectives of the study were to estimate the potential value of plant design and l
damage control measures i providing protection against sabotage and to determine l

was conductr d by a diverse group from industry including NSSS vendors, utilities, Plant changes evaluated include separate safeguards buildings (i.e.,

.z-6/26/80 system (HDHRS), and hardening existing equipment. One of the conclusions reached was that for PWRs the HDHRS appears promising. Such a system alsp adds to fire protection and ESF diversity as well as sabotage protection.
Mr. Michelson noted that such studies as the Sandia effort above need to give more attention to the inside sabotour. He noted that physical separation and compartmentalization highlighted in the study are effective against the insiders, but they also introduce the potential for systems interactioas, such as over pressurization of a compartment given a pipe break. Mr. Michelson also raised the concern of examining nonsafety equipment for its effect on safety-related equipment given an incidence of sabotage.
Dr. Siess noted that s'tudies such as the Sandia study were respons*ve to the ACRS-generic item whic'h called for plant design concepts to reduce the probability of successful sabotage.
DISCUSSION OF FY 82 RESEARCH PROGRAM IN THE AREA 0F SAFEGUARDS AND FUEL CYCLE SAFETY, SPF.CIFICALLY:
(a) Physical Protection, (b) Material Control and Accounting, and (c) Threat and Strategy - G. Tomlin, NRC, ~ SAFER Mr. Gerald Tomlin of the NRC, RES-SAFER Division, discussed the NRC's Safeguards Research. There are three safegu:rds research subelements: physical protection, material control and accounting (MC&A), and threat and strategy. The regulatory objective for physica.1 protection research is to assure that the licensec pro.vides adequate protection against malevolent actions directed towards sabctage or theft l
, of SNM. The means to achieve the regulatory objective is the selection of appro-
~
priate performance criteria and the evaluation of safeguards against these criteria.
l The research objective in physical protection research is to support the regulatory l
l objective by the development and application of criteria selection aids and effective-f ness evaluation aids. The regulatory objective for MC&A is to assure that the l
licensee provides adequate protection aga' inst changes of SNM location,' quantity, or composition which could contribute to theft or sabotage. Again Research tries to meet the regulatory objective by the development of criteria selection aids and effectiveness evaluation aids. Threat and strategy research has as its regulatory objective to ensure that NRC bases its regulatory activities and operational r:::ponsibilities on the best available information concerning threats and consequences of successful adversary actions. Research supports this objective i
by the development of a better understanding of threats, consequences of threat or

. SAFEGUARDS & SECURITY 6/25/SD OTHER NRC PROGRAMS COORDINATED BY STAR - P. Baker, NMSS (NRC - Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards)
Mr. Paul Baker of the NRC briefed the Subcommittee on other safeguards programs coordinated by the Safeguards Technical Assistance and Research (STAR) group.
He noted programs are cypected in MC&A by NMSS (NRC-Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards), SD (NRC-Office of Standards Development), and IE (NRC-Office of Inspection and Enforcement). Both NMSS and SD have programs underway in physical security. The ADM (NRC-Office of Administration) arm of NRC has an operstional and developmental program underway for safeguards information systems.
FY 82 program support funds were discussed.
CURRENT STATUS OF SAFEGUARDS-RELATED RULES AND REGULATORY GUIDES - EXPECTED FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS - T. Allen, NMSS Mr. Allen of NRC-NMSS made a presentation on the current status of safeguards-related rules and regulatory guides. He noted upcoming amendments to 10 CFR 73.55 would require str.icter vital area access, pat-down search replacement measures, verification of guard force applicant data, and additional emphasis on protection against insider sabotage. Mr. Allen explained that since 10 CFR 73.'d5 was put into place in February 1977, a number of reactor safeguards related guides have become obsolete. Some topics that are not adequately addressed now concern vital area access requirements, pre-employment screening, work rules, and emergency power systems for security equipment.
NMSS noted that they intend to produce an upgrade rule guidance compendium of safeguards-related documents over the next 1 1/2 years for use by the power The document will contain a set of newly developed technical reactor industry.
guides. Within the upgrade rule guidance compendium there will be implementation documents that will be used specifically for allowing licensees to go through an orderly design process. The compendium will also include a bibliography of non.NRC technical guidance. The Subcommittee had no additional proposals to offer.
