SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
1. GOAL. To ensure that safeguards and security requirements are identified and integrated
into a project early and that their implementation is assessed throughout the project life
cycle. Protection strategy for an asset should include consideration of the threat to the
asset as a fundamental part of the design process. Establishing and integrating safeguards
and security requirements early is necessary for project planning and cost estimating and
to prevent project impacts that can be expected when safeguards and security
requirements are identified late into the design process, construction, or as part of the
operational readiness review. Additionally, due to potential conflicts in meeting
safeguards and security requirements and the requirements of other critical disciplines
(e.g., safety), the integration of all requirements is critical to developing the best overall
cost effective solution for the project.
2. SCOPE. This Guide addresses the implementation steps for achieving safeguards and
security systems that support the Department’s protection objectives. It provides a
logical process for the implementation of accepted safeguards and security principles,
which are translated into system requirements and configuration with an auditable cost
and schedule; from project/program initiation through the transition/closeout phases.
3. OBJECTIVES.
a. To provide safeguards and security advice to Federal project directors and federal
program/site office managers (contractors and subcontractors as applicable) in
identifying and implementing key safeguards and security components of their
projects and integrating safeguards and security consideration into each
acquisition management phase (initiation, definition, execution and
transition/closeout).
b. To define security project’s features and functions as developed or required by the
security program or security policy which minimizes impact on operations.
c. To identify the function of the federal site security program representative who
serves as security design point of contact for security features and is a member of
the integrated project team as appropriate during the entire project cycle.
d. To facilitate communication and interaction between the site security
professionals, other integrated project teams, and the members of the project
design team.
4. APPLICABILITY. This guide applies to all DOE elements, including the National
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), which fund, direct and manage acquisition
projects as defined by DOE O 413.3A.
As used in this guide, “security” refers to both safeguards and security as it is applicable
to the project or facility regardless of the type of building, structure, or facility and
whether new or a modification.

Section 3
This Guide provides approaches for implementing security provisions within the security
functional areas as specified in DOE O 413.3A, Program and Project Management for
the Acquisition of Capital Assets.
The DOE G 413.3-X series provides companion supplemental project management
guidance. Specific regulatory citations are provided in the body of the Guide. This
Guide provides explanations and examples for implementing requirements of
DOE O 413.3A.
Except for requirements established by a regulation, contract, or administrative means,
the provisions in this Guide are DOE’s views on acceptable methods of program
implementation and are not mandatory. Conformance with this Guide should, however,
create an inference of compliance with the related requirements. Alternative methods
that are demonstrated to provide an equivalent or better level of protection are acceptable.
DOE encourages its contractors to go beyond the minimum requirements and to pursue
excellence in their programs.
The words “should” and “may” are used to denote optional program recommendations
and allowable alternatives, respectively. This Guide is applicable to all DOE activities
that are subject to the requirements of DOE O 413.3A.

SECTION III. SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM BACKGROUND
All DOE facilities are evaluated for potential risks to employees, the public, and the
environment. DOE M 470.4 series directives contain requirements for determining the level of
protection, based on facility functions and potential security risks and design basis threat
requirements. This also includes Cyber Security under the provisions of DOE O 205.1A
Department of Energy Cyber Security Management.
A preliminary security review should be initiated during the project conceptual design phase and
further developed during the preliminary and final design phases. In most situations, these
reviews are included in the project planning and design documentation (e.g., in conceptual
design reports, or critical decisions). Facility design and construction features, identified as a
result of security review, should be factored into the conceptual design before establishing the
project cost estimate and requesting funding authorization for design and construction.
An appropriate security plan should be completed and approved prior to the start of construction
(including site preparation), consistent with DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program
Planning and Management. The plan should be updated as appropriate to reflect changes
affecting security that are made to the facility during its lifetime.
DOE assets are defined and protection standards outlined in DOE O 470.3A, Design Basis
Threat Policy (U). Depending on the asset being protected, protection strategies range from a
combination of compliance with DOE security policies to specific performance standards that
should be met. This constitutes a graded and risk-based approach ensuring the highest levels of
protection for those assets where loss, theft, compromise, and/or unauthorized use would
seriously affect national security, the environment, Departmental programs, and/or
public/employee health and safety.
For those assets designated as Threat Level 1, 2, or 3, the Federal project director should
reference the design basis threat policy because additional performance-based security measures
may necessitate a vulnerability assessment to be performed by the site to determine what
additional security measures are necessary to achieve an integrated protection system consisting
of sensing, assessment, communication, response, interruption, and neutralization.
Section 5
The DOE O 470 series of directives establishes minimum design principles. Adherence to these
directives should provide reasonable assurance that safeguards and security designs embellish
the DOE tenets of providing graded security and establishing defense in-depth. For example, a
security area denotes a physically defined space containing departmental security assets and
subject to physical protection and access controls. Security areas are established per the
requirements of DOE M 470.4-2, Physical Protection.
The type of security area established depends on the nature of the security interests to be
protected, with the following types required for the protection of the listed security interests.
These are—
• property protection area,
III-2 DOE G 413.3-3
11-15-07
• limited area,
• exclusion area,
• protected area,
• material access area, and
• vital area.
The property protection area (an office building or administrative area) is the least restrictive
area, and the most restrictive is a material access area which is located within a protected area.
The descriptions are provided in DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program References.
DOE safeguards and security programs are established through DOE 470 series Orders and
Manuals. The following are Safeguards and Security Orders and Manuals that are most
applicable to projects.
• DOE O 470.3A, Design Basis Threat Policy (U), dated 11-29-05;
• DOE O 470.4A, Safeguards and Security Program, Performance Assurance,
dated 5-25-07;
• DOE M 470.4-1, Chg 1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and
Management, dated 8-26-05;
• DOE M 470.4-2, Chg 1, Physical Protection, dated 8-26-05;
• DOE M 470.4-4, Chg 1, Information Security, dated 8-26-05; and
• DOE M 470.4-6, Chg 1, Nuclear Material Control and Accountability, dated
8-26-05.
In projects, the identification and protection of Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information is
specified in the follow directives:
• DOE P 470.1, Integrated Safeguards and Security Management (ISSM) Policy,
dated 5-8-01;
• DOE O 471.1A, Identification and Protection of Unclassified Controlled Nuclear
Information, dated 6-30-00; and
• DOE M 471.1-1, Chg. 1, Identification and Protection of Unclassified Controlled
Nuclear Information Manual, dated 10-23-01.

Also for unusual or special conditions the following directive provides the construction
requirements for the protection of classified information requiring extraordinary security
protection.

SECTION IV. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS AND INTERFACES
1. BASIS FOR DESIGN STANDARDS.
a. DOE security assets are to be protected from theft or diversion, sabotage,
espionage, loss or theft of classified matter or government property, and other
hostile acts which could cause unacceptable adverse impacts on national security,
program continuity, or the health and safety of employees, the public, or the
environment.
b. Levels of protection appropriate to particular safeguards and security interests are
to be provided in a graded fashion in accordance with potential risks to national
security and the health and safety of employees and the public.
Section 6
c. Protection programs are tailored to address site-specific characteristics on the
basis of DOE directives and other requirements.
d. Site-specific protection programs describing the implementation of these
requirements are documented in protection program plans and/or site security
plans.
2. FACILITY AND PHYSICAL PROTECTION STANDARDS.
a. Planning, design, and installation of security systems should be determined in
consultation with the cognizant DOE security authority and should be consistent
with security policies.
b. A key role of the security professional assigned to the project team as part of the
integrated project team should be to ensure that the best approach to meeting
policy objectives are identified.
c. The approach should provide a security solution that maintains compliance with
requirements and provides effective security, while minimizing security’s impact
on project cost, potential safety concerns, and operational impacts.
3. SECURITY SYSTEM DESIGN. The basis for each discipline standard should be
addressed.
a. For example, DOE nuclear safety directives do not address malevolent acts,
sabotage, or terrorist activities, while security requirements are focused primarily
on such actions. However, successful design accounts for all requirements within
the area’s applicability and expected environmental conditions for the system to
operate.
b. Design should necessitate accommodating potential interactions and overlaps
among applicable requirements, such as those that might be encountered between
postulated security technologies and normal operation or accident conditions,
such as those required to be evaluated for life safety.
IV-2 DOE G 413.3-3
11-15-07
c. Controls should be established to prevent unauthorized access to security areas,
unauthorized activities within security areas, and removal of security interests.
Where there are conflicts between the security requirements and those of other
disciplines, these need to be defined as early in the project as practicable, so as to
provide the time to reach the best overall solution to all requirements. For
example:
(1) Although building access points are often minimized for security reasons,
personnel egress from security areas should meet the requirements of
National Fire Protection Association 101 and the applicable portions of the
project building code (e.g., International Building Codes or National Fire
Protection Association 5000).
(2) Entrances to and exits from security areas should be designed for efficient,
yet controlled, movement of personnel or vehicles through designated
portals.
(3) Due to the security limitations on exiting certain buildings, alternative life
safety approaches, such as a safe haven, based on performance based
compliance with the National Fire Protection Association requirements,
may be necessary to meet the requirements of both disciplines.
(4) External and internal areas within security boundaries should be provided
with infrastructure support (e.g., electrical power, alarm communications
and control systems).
4. SECURITY SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES EVALUATION.
a. During the conceptual and preliminary design phase, alternatives analysis of the
security system is performed along with the other major activities of the project,
including the security implications of the various proposed sites.
Section 7
b. To ensure consideration of all alternatives appropriate to the significance of the
threat, the project team should consult departmental programs supporting the
development or deployment of security technologies. Currently these include the
DOE Office of Health, Safety and Security and the NNSA Chief, Defense Nuclear
Security. These organizations should be able to provide technical and contact
information for security technologies being developed, tested, or deployed by the
Department or other agencies of the United States. Care should be taken to avoid
new untested systems. They should not be installed at DOE facilities unless there
is a conscious decision that the site should be a field test facility for those
systems.
c. Project teams may request technical assistance from their cognizant security
authority offices. Communication is essential to ensure that the facility is able to
receive the technology and that its deployment is appropriate for the facility.

SECTION V. SAFEGUARDS & SECURITY AND
THE CRITICAL DECISION PROCESS
Figure V-1 depicts the overall timeline of a project. The key security tasks associated with each
project phase are presented in Table V-1, Overarching Areas of Consideration. Note that these
tasks need to be finished to complete the phase and support the Critical Decision. However, it is
important to start these efforts early in the phase, providing time for project interaction in support
of these tasks and to address project changes they drive.
Figure V-1 Typical DOE Project Timeline
1. INITIATION PHASE (PRE-CONCEPTUAL PLANNING—PRE-CRITICAL
DECISION-0).
For all projects, an early evaluation of probable security concerns and design basis threat
assessment should be made by the federal program/site office manager. The site security
office and contractor’s security office should evaluate the potential security needs of the
project in regards to the design basis threat. When indicated by this evaluation, a security
professional for the project should be identified to serve as technical advisor and
integrated project team member on security matters for the life of the project.
If this preliminary security evaluation indicates that the project is classified, the DOE site
office manager and Federal project director should determine, with assistance from the
security staff, the actions necessary for identifying the level of security and the associated
requirements cited in Part 2, Section I, Chapter VII of DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and
Security Program Planning and Management. This action should identify the scope of
the access authorizations required for project personnel and the need for procedures for
processing the Facility Data and Approval Record and any subsequent changes.
2. DEFINITION PHASE (CONCEPTUAL DESIGN—POST CRITICAL DECISION-0).
a. Once mission need is approved (Critical Decision-0), the site security program
representative should begin to plan for the role of security within the project.
This represents a critical point for determining and defining the security
involvement in the project.

(1) During conceptual design, the site security program representative should
evaluate the security risk of the proposed facility and document the
security requirements (e.g. physical security devices and systems, nuclear
materials safeguards, information security and any specialized security
equipment) that result from this evaluation.
(2) The site security program representative should summarize alternative
protection and control strategies and provide the Federal project director
with estimated ranges for capital and operating costs of alternatives which
meet security policy requirements.
b. This should occur with most topical security areas to ensure that alternatives for
protection and control of security risks are evaluated for effectiveness and for
long-term costs.
c. This information should be incorporated into the conceptual design and cost
estimates, to be used to evaluate the project alternatives for Critical Decision-1.
Section 9
d. For facilities that will be security categories I or II as related to material
inventories, roll-up capabilities, and are not hazard classification categories (see
DOE M 470.4-6); contain classified information and/or materials; and/or are DOE
‘mission critical’ facilities, a vulnerability assessment should be conducted for
Critical Decision-1 to assess security risks.
e. This vulnerability assessment should be a preliminary assessment based upon the
conceptual design of the facility’s proposed security features. The vulnerability
assessment is performed either by certified vulnerability assessment analysts from
the site or outside contracting companies that have this expertise. This
vulnerability assessment will make recommendations concerning upgrades of the
physical security, protective force, and/or administrative controls for the proposed
facility, based on the identified security risk. These recommendations are then
incorporated into the conceptual design and are factors in evaluating the proposed
alternatives for Critical Decision-1.
f. At the conclusion of conceptual design (Critical Decision-1), the Federal project
director should know the impact of incorporating adequate safeguards and
security elements into the project (e.g., security’s impact on the project will be
significant, minimal, or serve in an advisory role ensuring safeguards and security
departmental requirements are identified).
3. EXECUTION PHASE I (PRELIMINARY DESIGN PHASE). Once Critical Decision-1
has been obtained and project engineering and design funds authorized, the preliminary
design phase commences.
a. The integrated project team should closely monitor the preliminary design efforts
to ensure that all project requirements are being incorporated.
V-4 DOE G 413.3-3
11-15-07
b. The site security program representative should stay involved by assisting in
refining security strategies, defining security system performance requirements,
evaluating the responses to the preliminary vulnerability assessment results,
determining office, alarm station, and other infrastructure requirements; and
preparing mature cost estimates.
(1) Prior to Critical Decision-2 if a vulnerability assessment was necessary,
then an update to the vulnerability assessment should be done.
(2) If at all possible, the same team of certified security analysts should
perform a vulnerability assessment on the preliminary design documents.
(3) This should offer an opportunity to easily compare results from the
preliminary vulnerability assessment with this assessment. As before, the
results of this assessment are to be incorporated, based on the identified
security risk, into the facility design.
c. Depending on the scope of and risk of assets associated with the project, the
resources necessary to conduct vulnerability assessments and security technology
option analyses might be significant.
d. Risks may be identified in the course of the vulnerability assessment or the
security technology option analysis and captured in the risk register, which is part
of the risk management plan. Additionally, security designs and associated
electrical; communications; heating; ventilation; and air conditioning; and other
appropriate support infrastructures for the security features of the project should
be integrated into the overall project design and engineering package.
e. Where possible, industry standards should be used to plan for future growth or
technological changes in the security systems.
Section 10
f. When developing the project schedule, the need for and timing of construction
personnel with security clearances should be ascertained. The Federal project
director should ensure that sufficient time exists for the acquisition of services
requiring security clearances.
4. EXECUTION PHASE II (FINAL DESIGN PHASE AND CONSTRUCTION). After
Critical Decision-2 has been obtained, the final design phase continues toward
conclusion.
a. Site security program representative should stay engaged in monitoring and
providing assistance to the design team during final design.
b. At the conclusion of final design, all project requirements should be satisfied by
the facility design and/or proposed operational features. Site security program
representative of the integrated project team should ensure approval of the
selected security system design by both contractor and field office managers.
DOE G 413.3-3 V-5 (and V-6)
11-15-07
c. Testing requirements and acceptance criteria are prepared for security systems
and for system components, and acceptance tests, based upon required
performance levels, should be specified for all security-relevant systems in the
proposed contract documents for construction.
d. Upon approval of Critical Decision-3 and the start of construction, security should
provide support to construction activities of necessary security initiatives, begin
safeguards and security-identified training objectives, finalize organizational
structure, and prepare appropriate security plans and procedures necessary to
support the project.
e. The scheduling of system operations and maintenance training should take place
along with acceptance plan preparation and approval by the Federal project
director.
f. The acceptance plan includes the supporting operations and maintenance manuals
and procedures. Project activities that are in progress in parallel with construction
include final preparation of plans and procedures for facility operations. This
includes acceptance testing of systems as construction is completed and the
facility is transferred from the project to operations.
5. TRANSITION/CLOSEOUT PHASE/OPERATION PHASE.
a. During the Transition/Close-out, all security system documentation is reviewed
and an acceptance determination made by the Federal project director. System
component and complete system acceptance testing is evaluated against the test
and acceptance plan. For security, efforts leading to Critical Decision-4 should
represent an approved security plan, procedures, trained security professionals on-
hand, and a successful Operational Readiness Review.
b. Prior to Critical Decision-4, the final update of the Vulnerability Assessment
should be required, with a resulting Final Vulnerability Assessment Report. This
report should document the proposed security systems and features, as well as
demonstrate how the facility design, construction, and operations satisfy security
requirements.
c. At Critical Decision-4, the project is completed, and there is transition to the
operations program/project manager for assumption of responsibility for
operations and maintenance. The facility/site Management and Operations Group
takes over the responsibility for the management, operation, and associated
support including security.

SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROJECT CHECKLIST
Section 11
While Table V-1 gives the basics of Safeguards and Security, the following checklist gives the
Federal project director more detail of how to integrate the safeguards and security disciplines
into the critical decision phases of a project.
As used in this attachment, “security” refers to both safeguards and security as it is applicable to
the project or facility regardless of the type of building, structure, or facility and whether new or
a modification. These lists are not meant to be all-inclusive. It is suggested that they be used in
conjunction with other tools and techniques such as, but not limited to, lessons learned, brain-
storming, scenario planning, similar projects, and subject matter experts.
1. INITIATION PHASE (PRE-CONCEPTUAL PLANNING):
a. Safeguards and security point of contact is designated by Federal program/site
office manager as a member of the integrated project team as appropriate and
inform on the parameters of the potential project or mission need.
(1) New facility or retrofit.
(2) Type of facility (e.g., research, production, administrative/computing
facility, nuclear and/or radiological material storage, processing with or
without classified parts).
(3) Population of the facility (e.g., numbers and origin).
(4) Potential locations for the facility.
(5) Existing facility or infrastructure upgrade project (e.g., fire safety upgrade,
security systems upgrade, adding classified capabilities to a formally
unclassified facility).
b. Begin identification of potential security-related assets associated with the project.
(1) Special nuclear materials, other nuclear material, radiological material,
biological assets (virus samples, etc.), chemical inventories, classified
and/or unclassified controlled information or parts, critical assets, high
