NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION I
WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 5, ?yyg, m j e APR 071988 MEMORANDUM FOR:
Leland C. Rouse, Chief Fuel Cycie Safety Branch Division of Industrial ano Medical Nuclear Safety, NHSS FROM:
E. William Brach, Chief Licensing Branch Division of Safeguards and Transportation, NMSS
SUBJECT:
REVIEW 0F WEST VALLEY PHYSICAL SECURITY PLAN In response to your memorandum of March 1, 1988, we have reviewed the subject document and offer the following convoents:
1.
The changes made in this revision are generally outside of our regulations.
.g 2 ) We have found that an isolation zone of 10 feet is insufficient
' to allow time to properly assess intrusion alarms. We normally use 20 feet as a base and design from that point.
3.
Personnel should be accomplished with both a visual search and with detectors.
Security should always have cross checks.
4 In view of the current technology in explosives, package search-es should be done with package explosive detectors as well as visually.
5.
It is not clear from the text that any SNM detectors are in use.
6., The NRC considers a ' fence protection system' to be inadequate to use at facilities where SNM is stored or processeo. We suggest t
that the system be backed up with a volumetric type intrusion detection system.
We hope these coninents are helpful and will be pleased to discuss them with you or the Department of Energy.
The contact on is project is Charles E. Gaskin.
