'the alaments of the Quad cities safeguards program rwiewed during the RER were generally outstaniing.
In the essential areas of protected arma intrusion detection, alarm assessment, and armed response, the Quad Cities escurity system should provide exceptionally high assurance of protection against radiological sabotage by an external adversary with the characteris-tics specified in NRC's design basis threat.

Many of these improvements wars innovative and avoided potential weaknesses denenstrated chtring RER's at other sites. '!he offactiveness of the mawity program cktrirug the RER performance tasting and evaluation at both Dresden ard Quad Cities provided persuasive evidence of outstanding prior planning by sita ard corporata annagement.
