t INTRODUCTION 10 CFR 573.55 sets forth the requirements for physical protection of ilcensed activities at nuclear power reactors against radiological sabotage. Specifically, 573.55(h)(3) requires that the total number of guards and armed trained personnel immediately available to fulfill response requirements: "shall nominally be ter

10) unless specifically required otherwise on a case-by-case basis by tr Commission; however, the minimum number may not be reduced to less than five (5) guards."

In the judgement of NRC staff, a response force less than ten can frequently provide sufficient capability to meet the performance objective of the regulation. This NUREG report has been developed to assist the NRC license reviewer in determining the adequacy of response force size for nuclear power reactor facilities; it is not intended to supersede experienced, professional judgement.

It consists of a scored worksheet that lists the factors that should be considered in determining adequacy of response force size. Following the worksheet is a graph that relates score to generally acceptable or unacceptable force size.

USE OF THIS DOCUMENT Twenty-six factors are listed on the worksheet. These factors are categorized as high impact, medium impact, or low impact factors. Listed with each factor are items which should be considered in the desig.1ation of a specific point score for each factor. High impact factors may receive a point score of 0 to 5 points, medium impact factv-c, O to 3 points, and low impact factors, 0 or 1 point. The license reviewer should decide on the appropriate specific value within the range for each factor based upon personal knowledge of the facility and the specific safeguards planning documents of each site. The maximum achievable score is 82 points.

Figure 1 presents guidelines on the interpretation of the total score.

It is a graph which relates the worksheet score to generally acceptable or 1

unacceptable response force size.

It should be noted that the factors listed on the worksheet are complementary to and expand upon the criteria set forth in the Statement of Considerations issued with the publication of 10 CFR 573.55 in the Federal Register.

It is anticipated that this worksheet will be updated on a periodic basis for each site.

CLASSIFICATION NOTE TO USERS Completed worksheets prepared for site specific evaluations should be classified and handled as " safeguards information."
