l.he Flease add these thoughts to the record of'the public workshop for the
~
Design Basis Dreat s'
Regarcing the question of "where will it stop".
"It" meaning the requests I
for increased physical protection and security regulations. The "public" I have sponen with want to know "wbere does it start".
here is a tremendous public relations probles for the nuclear industry l
when GPU President Philip Clark claims security was never breached.
Or, the statement that the TNI intruder does not fit the definition of the design basis threat. Shall we conclude that the DBT was not tested by the intruderf his morning I spoke with a newspaper reporter who asked CPU about the problem of guards responding to vital doors without weapons. A GPU spoke: nan 1
told him that he could be sure that an intruder or intruders who met the desciption of the DBT could be handled by their security. When the reporter i
pressed the spokeman on repelling several wall-trained and well-armed attackers when weapons are unavailable as in the actual response on February 7,1993, he I
was told that security details are a secret.
I believe the NRC is guilty of studying an issue so closely that common i
sense is lost.
his reminds me of the Rodgers Commission investigation of the
- Challengar" disaster.
Engineers gave'the satilest details and specifications of many parts and systems day af ter day at the hearing.
Finally a Nobel Prize winning physicist took a small sample of the "O Ring" material and placed it in a C-clamp he bought at a hardware store on the way to the hearing.
He placed this into hie glass of ice water for several minutes while he spoke.
When he pulled it out of the glass,the rubber fell out of the clamp because it had 1
