8 Location of Facility, Physical Layout of Plant and Access Controls

'The Ke'er-McGee Plutonium Plant is situated in a rural area of Logan County, Oklahoma about four miles south of Crescent, ten miles vest of Guthrie and twenty-eight miles north of Oklahore.a City.

The. site v

.~

is one-half mile north of State Highway 33 and is bordered,on the l

vest by State Highway 74.

a.;.y The Plutonium Plant shares the same land tract as the Uranium Plant

.c., -

and the entire site is commonly identified as the Cimarron Facility.

I (See Exhibit No. 1)

Encompassing the company-owned land is a peri-meter fence which deters the entry on company property by unauthorized persons.

(See Exhibit No. 2)

Employees enter the site proper through an outer vehicle gate either controlled by l Employees park their vehicles nearby the plant in which j

s they work. Visitors are not permitted to park'within the outer fence line.

They are allowed entry on foot after communicating via. intercom M1 '

with the guard at Post #2 in the Uranium Plant.

Identification and 1

ihitial registration is accomplished at Post #2.

j A separate security fence surrounds the Plutonium Plant.

This barrier forms the perimeter of the protec_te.d area and this barrier is protected' by al (See Exhibit"No. 3)

The fence has emergency exit gates and a vehicular gate, all of which are locked and not operable frem outside the fence line.

The presence of private vehicles within the protected area fence is prohibited.

~

,.i h*

The main entrance for the Pu Plant is on the south wall behind the security fence.

Once in the j

j lobby, lunch boxes, brief cases and packages are physically inspected by the guard.

Employees leave their lunch boxes in the lunch room.

Visitors are identified, the visitee is contacted and escort is pro-vided.

f Within an enclosed corridor Icading from the guard post to the office sectionare/

are conducted of each individual l.nc he enters or leaves the building through this corridor.

Physical inspection of lunch boxes and handcarried articles is accomplished by a guard on egress from the building through guard post #1.

The general office area for the Pu Plant is in tile southwest section of the building. The material access area (MAA) perimeter is interrupte E.i!!HED 2 ROM PUBUC JiSCLOSURE 10 CFR 2.790 INFORMATION
