Analysis of Safeguards Needs i' for Transport of High Level Waste B & R: 50-19-02-02 FIN: B-6990-1 -

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is now engaged in

1.0 BACKGROUND

or will soon undertake several related studies to provide detailed analyses of safeguards needs for specific nuclear materials in produc- These tion, transport or use by the commercial nuclear power industry.

studies address specific regulatory concerns, i.e., the need to confirm or refute current safeguards needs for High Level Waste in Repositories, for Pyproducts and Small Quantities of SNM, for High Enriched Uranium facilities, and for graded physical protection measures. This .

Statement of Work (50W) addresses still another area of regulatory con-cern, the potential need to safeguard High Level Waste (HLW) during transport. Taken together, these studies will establish regulatory needs, if any, and a technical basis for comprehensive and consistent safeguards regulations, as required. .

2.0 WORK REQUIRED _:

The contractor will provide the personnel, facilities, and materials necessary to accomplish the work specified in this state- /

ment of work.

Task l__ - The contractor shall review and screen recycle studies and pro-cesses to determine the types and amounts of HLU generated and the various waste handlina technioues that might be applied to each (e.g., vitrificatior calcination,etc.). In addition, the contractor shall consider other possible operations (e.g., decontamination, decommissioning, etc.) in the nuclear fuel cycle that would generate waste products having high radio-activity (comparable to HLW) which might need to be transported from fixed sites for disposal.

Task 2_ - The contractor shall review and screen available and ongoing ship-ment cask design and cask utilization studies on transport of HLW or other j waste products of high specific radioactivity to characterize the type, i capacity, and major design features of each cask, the applicability to the various transport modes, the projected type, form, and amount of material per cask and per shipment, and pertinent conditions of shipment affecting use of these cask designs.

Tasks 1 and 2 will focus on the detailed search and careful screening of The existing DOE and NRC in-house reports and sponsored tion of these tasks, a list of the reports and studies to be reviewed.

For each task the contractor will prepare and submit an interim report summarizing findings and conclusions.

l Task 3 - The contractor will utilize the results of Tasks 1 and 2 ate and determine which types of waste material, if dispersed r.alevolen would produce consequences of sufficient severity to public health an safety as to warrant consideration of safeguards regulations and reasu

P""~~, - .-

. / O O l

The desired products to be sumitted in a report to URC are twofold. first, the coatractor will prepare a rank ordering of the waste types in terms of the relative' potential consequences to public health and safety associ-ated with sabotage during transport operations. The contractor shall doqument the factors and rationale supporting these conclusions. Second, the contractor will prepare a plan which outlines the approach for com-pletion of subsequent tasks, the impact of findings from related NitSS sponsored projects (such as the Cask Vulnerability Study) on this effort, data needs and gaps, if any. The plan will include recormendations on which of the HLW types defined in Task 1 and ranked in Task 3 warrant detailed consequence evaluation in light of their potential for adversely affecting public health and safety.

Option Upon receipt of the Task 3 report above, NRC will review the results of Task 1, 2, and 3, to determine if the contract will be terminated at that time or continued through completion of Tasks 4 r.id 5 below. NRC will inform the contractor of the results of this r. new within 30 days after receipt of the report. The contractor will no . initiate any work on Tasks l

i 4 or 5 until receipt of appropriate contract modification from the NRC contracting officer. The NRC contracting officer will issue appropriate l contract modification within 45 days after receipt of the Task 3 report, i Option Task 4 - On NRC modification and approval of the plan developed in

' ' Task 3, the contractor will perform a detailed analysis, and estimate of the consequences of radiological release during transport from dispersal i

af ter thef t or sabotage of selected HLW materials. The contractor will consider and describe such factors as adversary modes of attack, required capabilities and resources and impact of meteorological conditions. The contractor will utilize, to the extent appropriate and feasible, the methodologies, data bases and/or findings from related NRC sponsored studie:

{ (e.g. , the Spent Fuel Cask Vulnerability Studies, the transport of Radio-nuclides in Urban Environs, the Sa feguards for HLW Repositories, Calcula-tions of Radiological Consequences from Sabotage of Shipping Casks for Spent Fuel and HLW, etc.). ~ The desired products are reliable estimates of the extent and impact of public health consequences, contamination, use denial and cleanup costs that might result from radiological dispursion of HLW in both urban and rural environments. These data must be of the type and quality to serve as a basis for a NRC policy decision on the need for safeguards regulations and measures for HLW.

Option Task 5_ - The contractor will identify example safeguards measures for reduction of consequences for sabotage of HLW during transport operations, consistent with established NRC policy. These examples will include, but not a limited to consideration of currently employed transport safeguard!

measures. The desired product will include a comparative analysis of example HLW safeguards measures with respect to potential public health consequences, measure effectiveness and cost / benefit for each type of HLW involved.

f

A. PURPOSE "- i N

, y It is the intent of this guide to provide security classification guidance for the safeguarding of information pertaining to tihe release and disper-y .

sion of radioactive material. Of specific interest is that information s

\

which could assist malevolent activities to the extent that identifiable damage to the national security would result.

B. SCOPE

{b.%-

This guide considers three primary scenarios for thelpotential malevolent release and dispersion of radioactive material. These scenarios include releases from facilities in which such materials are normally available; releases from shipping packages used to transport radioactive.paterials; and releases resulting from the use of specially adapted dispersion devices or methods. The guide is therefore divided into the following sections:

(1) General Facts; (2) Release and Dispersion of Radioactive Materials from Nuclear Facilities; (3) Release and Disperdion of Radioactive Material t during Transport; and (4) Release and Dispersion of Radioactive Meterial

s. - ,

using Malevolent Devices or Methods suitable to Malefactorj0bjectives. This J Q guide addresses only those releases -af radioactive material which'are capable '

e t w.s s iy of causing identifiable damage to national security. .

Guidance for the classification of related safeguards information can be found in the "NRC Classification Guide for Safeguards Information."

C. BASIC POLICY The policy governing the classification of information dealing with the release and dispersion of radioactive material is to provide the maximum possible information to the public, while at the same time protecting against unauthorized disclosure of information which could cause identifiable damage to the national security. Such information includes:

(1) Information which could reasonably be expected to make the intentional release and dispersion of radioactive material a feasible objective, whenever such action could cause identifiable damage to the national security as a result of irradiation and/or contamination (e.g., disrupting the orderly function of facilities, activities, resources or programs of importance to national security).

(2) Information that could reasonably be expected to enhance the credibility of hoaxes which pertain to the release and disper-sion of radioactive material, to such an extent that they are indistinguishable from an actual threat to national security or information which could enhance the frequency of such hoaxes.

This guide is approved for authorized classifiers of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), for the purpose of classifying national security informa-tion which deals with the intentional release and dispersion of radioactive 6-4 ' -

-L

h L...: a material . It also provides guidance for NRC contractors and licensees, as well as other U.S. government personnel who need to identify such information.

  • D. USE OF THIS GUIDE ,
1. Information designated as either " CONFIDENTIAL" or " SECRET" in this guide will be classified accordingly by users of the guide. This guide constitutes a record of an original'cla,ssification decision :

by the approving authority and directs the derivative classification of information which the guide indica 1.es is classified. Any questions concerning the applicability of this guide should be directed to the '

Director, Division of Security, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555.

2. Certain topics in this guide apply to subjects addressed more fully in other guides (e.g., naval nuclear propulsion, nuclear material production, uranium enrichment, safeguards and nuclear weapons).

Such guides take precedence when they are more restrictive. Questions pertaining to such subjects should, be forwarded to the Director,

. Division of Security, Nuclear Regulatory'Comission, Washington, DIC.

20555.

3. Certain topics indicate that information to which they apply may be either CONFIDENTIAL or SECRET. Application of these topics requires informed judgment based on knowledge,of the overall context of the information.

,} /^

. 4

. 4. Compilations of unclassified information are generally considered to be unclassified unless some additional factor is added in the process of compilation. For example: (a) the fact that the information is

, complete for its intended purposes may be classified; or (b) sometines raw data from the open literature is also classified government f information, the compromise of which is mitigated by refraining from officially ccnfirming public expressions for it. Thus,the fact that information is available to the public in the open literature is not necessarily a sufficient basis for asserting that certain information is unclassified. Furthermore, an NRC employee, contractor or other individual who had prior access to classified information on a subject will, by his selection of open literature information on that subject, give credibility to the information selected. This amounts to an implied ~ official confirmation.

5. Care should be taken that the declassification or downgrading of a document does not violate provisions of this guide when evaluated in connection with information known to be unclassified.
6. If classified information can be discerned from the use, presence, or capabilities of any equipment, the equipment will be classified and protected in accordance with the procedures established for the highest level of classified information which is currently revealed by such equipment.
