t NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION QUARTERLY REPORT OR NONDISCLOSURE OF SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION Section 147 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, prohibits the unauthorized disclosure of specific types of Safeguards Information.
This section also directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to prescribe such regulations as necessary to prohibit the unauthorized disclosure of Safeguards Information, NRC's regulations implementing Section 147 were published in the Federal Register on October 22, 1981 (46 FR 51718).- The attachment to this report identifies the specific types of 1nformation, documents, and reports that are protected from unauthorized disclosure.
Section 147 also requires that the NRC report on' a quarterly basis the Commission's application during that period of every regulation or order prescribed or issued under this section.
As required by Section 147, the following item indicates the Safeguards Information withheld from public disclosure under the provisions of the implementing regulations during the period January 1,1983 through March 31, 1983.
I.
Type'of Information Withheld On one occasion information, which identified the location of and barriers to a vital area, was withheld from public dis-closure. This information was contained in an internal NRC document which was prepared concerning an inspection report on the William H.
Zimmer Nuclear Power Station.
Unauthorized Disclosure Could Have Adverse Impact The public disclosure of this type of information could reasonably be expected to significantly decrease the effectiveness of the access control system used to insure that only authorized individuals having work related needs are permitted access to vital areas.
Assurance that only the Minimum Amount of Information was Withheld The withholding of this type of Safeguards Information does not deny the public information concerning the facility but does leave information gaps. A line-by-line review of the document was conducted to ensure that only the minimum amount of information was withheld.
