Enclosed is a copy of etegulatory Guide 5.59, " Standard Format and Content for 3 Licensee Physical Security Plan for the Protection of Special Nuclea-Material of Moderate or low Strategic Significance," to facilitate preparation of the required security plan.
(Two copies of this Regulatory Guide were forwarded directly to Mr. J. Myers at the White Oak Naval Surface Weapons Center on February 9, 1987.) This security plan should be submitted to the
