SECURE COMMUNICATIONS FACILITY PROPOSAL 1.
Justification It has been indicated that Region V requires secure telephonic communications capabilities to enable Region personnel to discuss both Classified information and Unclassified Safeguards Information in a timely and confidential manner with other NRC offices and licensees. Region V has inspection responsibilities for one category I fuel production facility and has the need to discuss both National Security Information and Restricted Data at the Confidential level. The need also exists for telephonic communications of Unclassified Safeguards Information with licensed power reactor facilities. Two specific areas, Material Control / Accountability and Physical Security, are covered by these restrictions and on occasion may require immediate duscussion and resolution. This need can best be accomplished telephonically and must therefore be done over secure lines.
2.
Duration and Nature of Activity It is anticipated that this secure telecommunications activity will be a long-term, continuous, capability in support of the licensing and inspection activity at licensed facilities. As NRC licensees add secure voice systems to their capabilities, it will also be used for discussions of security matters with licensees. Dependent upon the specific activity involved and discounting the existence of any major events, the secure line may be used approximately three to seven times a month initially; with activity increasing as other NRC and licensee offices obtain the capability.
3.
Glossary of Terms Secure Voice Communications Center (SVCC) - Refers to the sound proof booth that contains the STU-II Model Secure Voice Terminal that will be located in the Region V Incident Response Center.
4.
System Functional Block Diagram No block diagram is provided for this installation as it is a single-unit installation with no extensions and no peripheral equipment.
5.
Equipment The STU-II Secure Voice System consists of one TSEC/KY-71 terminal assembly, two KYK-71 TSEC CIK assemblies, and one HYX-71/TSEC Deskset Assembly.
6.
Communications Security Region V Communications Security Program will be managed in accordance with the NRC COMSEC Material Control Manual, Manual Chapter 2301, Appendix Part III.
2 The Region V Telecommunications Security Program is based on the fact that telecommunications are_ susceptible to interception. To minimize this possibility, the Federal Secure Telephone Service KY-71 terminal will be used for all Classified and Unclassified Safeguards Information transmittals.
Access to COMSEC'information is restricted to U. S. Citizens with "Q" level access authorization who require the information in the performance of their duties.
Physical restrictions for the windowless room where the COMSEC unit is located include an individually-keyed door; located within a separately controlled. key lock area.
