SCREENING 0F INDIVIDUALS GRANTED UNESCORTED ACCESS TO THE PROTECTED AREA Review Guidelines #1 Screening of individuals granted unescorted access to the protected area helps establish the trustworthiness of employees, prospective employees, and contractors, and reduces the vulnerability of the facility from the threat of an insider. As a minimum, screening programs should meet tha guidance in American National Standard, ANSI N18.17, "Indus-trial Security for Nuclear Power Plants."
In some cases, licensee and contractor employees may not have been subject to the preemployment screening of ANSI N18.17, but the licc: 5ee wishes to grant them unescorted access to the protected area. The reason for not using the screening procedures of ANSI N18.17 is that licensee or contractor may have recently implemented a screening program but determined that persons who were employees on the implementation date need not be subject to preemplopent screening as a general rule.
l Also, a licensee or contractor may transfer an enployee to a position subject to the screening program but determine the employee need not be subject to the preemployment screening.
l l
Personnel reliability can be adequately established in such cases by a certain minimum length of time of trustworthy employment. This period of trustworthy employment is considered to be equivalent to the reliability established by preenployment screening 5y ANSI N18.17 and does not decrease the protection of the facility from the threat of the insider.
l-Based on these considerations, unescorted access to the protected area may be granted to employees of a licensee and its contractors based on the reliability established by three (3) continuous years of trust-worthy e5ployment.
This nethod 6f~ establishing relia ~bTTTty isTossi-dered to be equivalent to the preemployment screening of ANSI N18.17-1973, Sections a.1 and 4.2.
