PHYSICAL PROTECTION
1. PURPOSE. This Manual establishes requirements for the physical protection of
safeguards and security (S&S) interests.
2. OBJECTIVE. To effect the policy in DOE P 470.1, Integrated Safeguards and Security
Management Policy (ISSM), by integrating physical protection into DOE operations as
determined by line management, and according to sound risk management practices.
[DOE P 470.1, Integrated Safeguards and Security Management Policy (ISSM), is the
Department’s philosophical approach to the management of the S&S Program. A
principal objective of the ISSM Program is to integrate S&S into management and work
practices at all levels, based on program line management’s risk management-based
decisions, so that missions may be accomplished without security events, such as
interruption, disruption or compromise. This approach includes individual responsibility
and implementation of the security requirements found in this Manual.]
3. PROGRAM INTEGRATION. Physical protection must be integrated with other
programs such as S&S program planning and management, protective force, information
security, personnel security, and nuclear material control and accountability. The
activities and requirements in the weapons surety, foreign visits and assignments, safety,
emergency management, cyber security, intelligence, and counterintelligence programs
should also be considered in the implementation of this Manual.
4. CANCELLATIONS. The directives listed below are canceled. Cancellation of a
directive does not by itself modify or otherwise affect any contractual obligation to
comply with the directive. Canceled directives that are incorporated by reference in a
contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to delete the reference to the
requirements in the canceled directives. The publication of this Manual incorporates all
previous memoranda and letters that were issued by the Office of Security or its
predecessor organizations that established policy.
a. DOE M 473.1-1, Physical Protection Program Manual, dated 12-23-02.
b. DOE M 471.2-1B, Classified Matter Protection and Control, dated 1-6-99.
5. APPLICABILITY.
a. Departmental Elements. Except for the exclusion in paragraph 5c, this Manual
applies to all Departmental elements listed on Attachment 1. This Manual
automatically applies to Departmental elements created after it is issued.
The Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will
assure that NNSA employees and contractors comply with their respective
responsibilities under this Manual.
CANCELE
D
ii DOE M 470.4-2
8-26-05
b. Contractors.
(1) The Contractor Requirements Document (CRD), Attachment 2, sets forth
requirements of this Manual that will apply to site/facility management
contracts that include the CRD.
(2) The CRD must be included in the site/facility management contracts that
involve classified information or matter, or nuclear materials, and contain
DOE Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clause 952.204-2, titled Security
Requirements.
Section 2
(a) Departmental elements must notify contracting officers of affected
site/facility management contracts to incorporate this directive into
those contracts.
(b) Once notified, contracting officers are responsible for
incorporating this directive into the affected contracts via the Laws,
Regulations, and DOE Directives clause of the contracts.
(3) A violation of the provisions of the CRD relating to the safeguarding or
security of Restricted Data or other classified information may result in a
civil penalty pursuant to subsection a of section 234B, of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 288b.). The procedures for the assessment
of civil penalties are set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), Part 824, Procedural Rules for the Assessment of Civil Penalties
for Classified Information Security Violations, (10 CFR Part 824).
(4) As stated in DEAR clause 970.5204-2, titled Laws, Regulations, and DOE
Directives, regardless of the performer of the work, site/facility
contractors with the CRD incorporated into their contracts are responsible
for compliance with the CRD. Affected site/facility management
contractors are responsible for flowing down the requirements of the CRD
to subcontracts at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure compliance
with the requirements. In doing so, contractors must not unnecessarily or
imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts. That is, contractors
must both ensure that they and their subcontractors comply with the
requirements of this CRD and incur only costs that would be incurred by a
prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
(5) This Manual does not automatically apply to other than site/facility
management contracts. Application of any of the requirements of this
Manual to other than site/facility management contracts will be
communicated as follows.
(a) Heads of Field Elements and Headquarters Departmental
Elements. Review procurement requests for new non-site-/
non-facility-management contracts that involve classified

clause 952.204-2, titled Security Requirements. If appropriate,
ensure that the requirements of the CRD of this Manual are
included in the contract.
(b) Contracting Officers. Assist originators of procurement requests
who want to incorporate the requirements of the CRD of this
Manual in new non-site-/non-facility-management contracts, as
appropriate.
c. Exclusion. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by
Executive Order 12344, and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy and
DOE organization of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy
Administrator for Naval Reactors will implement and oversee all requirements
and practices pertaining to this Manual for activities under the Deputy
Administrator’s cognizance.
d. Exemption.
(1) Requirements is this Manual that overlap or duplicate requirements of the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) related to radiation protection,
nuclear safety (including quality assurance), and safeguards and security
of nuclear material, do not apply to the design, construction, operation,
and decommissioning of Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste
Management (RW) facilities.
(2) This exemption does not apply to requirements for which the NRC defers
to DOE or does not exercise regulatory jurisdiction.

SECTION A—PHYSICAL PROTECTION
CHAPTER I. PROTECTION PLANNING
1. PLANNING. The implementation of graded physical protection programs required by
this Manual must be documented. Site physical protection programs must be
systematically planned, executed, evaluated, and documented as described by a Site
Safeguards and Security Plan (SSSP) or Site Security Plan (SSP). Physical protection
programs must be based on DOE O 470.3, Design Basis Threat (DBT) Policy (see
DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management) and used
in conjunction with local threat guidance.
a. In locations where an SSSP is not required due to the limited scope of safeguards
and security (S&S) interests, an SSP must be developed to describe the protection
program.
b. Departmental assets must be protected from malevolent acts such as theft,
diversion, and sabotage and events such as natural disasters and civil disorder by
considering site and regional threats, protection planning strategies, and
protection measures. Special nuclear material (SNM) must be protected at the
higher level when credible roll-up to Category I quantities can occur within a
single security area unless the facility has conducted a vulnerability assessment
that determined the failure or defeat of protection measures would not decrease
system effectiveness. The Department has the authority to impose requirements
deemed necessary to protect the safety of employees and the public and to
minimize threats to life, SNM, radiological/chemical/biological materials,
classified information or matter, Government property, the public, and the
environment.
c. Sites upgrading security measures must consider the benefits provided by security
technology by conducting a life-cycle cost-benefit analysis comparing the
effectiveness of security technology to traditional manpower-based
methodologies. However, at Category I/II facilities security technology must be
used, to the greatest extent possible, to allow protective force personnel to
concentrate on the primary mission of protecting nuclear weapons, SNM, and
designated high-value targets.
Section 8
2. PROTECTION STRATEGIES. Protection strategies, as described in DOE M 470.4-1,
Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management, must be selected,
developed, and implemented to protect S&S interests.
3. GRADED PROTECTION. Protection must be applied in a graded manner that is
commensurate with S&S interests (see DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security
Program Planning and Management).
4. PERFORMANCE ASSURANCE. Physical protection systems, including components,
must be tested to ensure overall system effectiveness. The effectiveness of physical
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
I-2 8-26-05
protection systems and programs must be determined through performance testing, at
least annually (at least every 12 months), as required by the performance assurance
program. A program of scheduled testing and maintenance must be implemented to
ensure an effective, fully functional security system (see DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards
and Security Program Planning and Management).
5. PHYSICAL PROTECTION SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT.
a. Physical protection surveillance equipment must be used for the purposes
described in an SSSP or SSP. Procedures must be developed to prohibit misuse
of physical protection surveillance equipment (e.g., video assessment and audio
communication/recording equipment). NOTE: Physical protection surveillance
equipment, when used in accordance with this requirement, is not considered
technical surveillance equipment.
b. Signs must be posted to serve notice that physical protection surveillance
equipment is in operation.
6. SAFETY AND HEALTH. S&S programs must meet mission objectives and the DOE
safety and health objectives to protect workers (see DOE M 411.1-1C, Safety
Management Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities).
7. TRAINING. Personnel implementing the physical protection program may meet
physical security protection competencies within the Professional Development Program
of the DOE National Training Center (NTC).

CHAPTER II. PROTECTION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS, COMPONENTS, SPECIAL
NUCLEAR MATERIAL, AND CLASSIFIED INFORMATION AND MATTER
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. This chapter defines requirements for protecting nuclear
weapons and Category I through IV quantities of special nuclear material (SNM). The
priority of protection measures must be designed to prevent malevolent acts such as theft,
diversion, and radiological sabotage and to respond to adverse conditions such as
emergencies caused by acts of nature. SNM must be protected at the higher level when
credible roll-up (e.g., Category II quantities to a Category I quantity of SNM) can occur
unless the facility has conducted a vulnerability assessment that determined that the
failure or defeat of protection measures would not decrease system effectiveness.
a. A facility must not possess, receive, process, transport, or store nuclear weapons
or SNM until that facility has been cleared commensurate with DOE M 470.4-1,
Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management.
b. An integrated system of positive measures must be developed and implemented to
protect Category I and II quantities of SNM and nuclear weapons. Protection
measures must address physical protection strategies of denial and containment as
well as recapture, recovery, and/or pursuit.
c. Physical protection for each category of SNM must consider the following
factors: quantities, chemical forms, and isotopic composition purities; ease of
separation, accessibility, concealment, portability; radioactivity; and
self-protecting features.
Section 9
d. The protection of nuclear material production, reactors, and fuel must be
commensurate with the category of SNM.
e. SNM, parts, or explosives that are classified must receive the physical protection
required by the highest level of classification or category of SNM, whichever is
the more stringent.
f. Specific physical protection measures and protective force (PF) response
capabilities must be described in a Site Safeguards and Security Plan (SSSP) or
Site Security Plan (SSP).
g. The protection afforded SNM must be graded, according to the nuclear material
safeguards category and attractiveness level, and reflect the specific nature of the
nuclear weapons or SNM at each site.
2. ACCESS. Access controls must be in place to ensure that only appropriately cleared and
authorized personnel are permitted unescorted access to SNM and nuclear weapons.
Access authorizations must be granted commensurate with DOE M 470.4-5, Personnel
Security.
CANCELE

Section A DOE M 470.4-2 Chg 1
II-2 3-7-06
Vertical line denotes change.
3. INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM. Nuclear weapons and Category I and II
quantities of SNM must be protected by an integrated physical protection system using
PF, barriers, and intrusion detection systems (IDSs) that annunciate at a central alarm
station (CAS).
4. DELAY MECHANISMS (BARRIERS). Delay mechanisms must be used to deter and
delay access, removal, or unauthorized use of Category I and II quantities of SNM and
nuclear weapons. Delay mechanisms may include both passive physical barriers
(e.g., walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and security bars) and activated barriers
(e.g., sticky foam, pop-up barriers, and cold smoke). Active and/or passive denial
systems must be used at site-specified target locations, as appropriate, to reduce reliance
on PF recapture/recovery operations.
5. PROTECTIVE FORCE. A response capability must be used to deny, neutralize, contain,
and/or perform recapture/recovery and pursuit missions within the required timelines (see
DOE M 470.4-3, Protective Force).
6. STORAGE CONTROLS. Each facility must have controls for nuclear weapons and
SNM consistent with the graded safeguards approach required by paragraphs 7 through
10 below. Controls for storage must:
a. be documented;
b. ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the storage repositories;
c. detect unauthorized access;
d. authenticate and document SNM movement into, or out of, a storage location;
e. include procedures for investigating and reporting abnormal conditions;
f. provide a record system to document ingress and egress; and
g. define procedures for conducting daily administrative checks.
7. CATEGORY I QUANTITIES OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL. The following
requirements apply.
a. In Use or Processing. Category I quantities of SNM must be located within a
material access area (MAA) inside a protected area (PA). Any MAA containing

Standard 752, “Standard for Bullet-Resisting Equipment” (UL-752).
(3) Entryways must be fitted with doors equipped with locks that can be
operated from within the alarm station.
c. Additional SAS Requirements. The SAS must be used as an alternative alarm
annunciation point to the CAS and be manned 24 hours a day so that a response
can be initiated if the CAS cannot perform its intended function. The SAS may
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-2 Section A
8-26-05 V-3
be located in a PPA. The SAS need not be fully redundant to the CAS, but must
be capable of providing full command and control in response to S&S incidents
[see paragraph 2a(6), above].
3. CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION SYSTEM. CCTV assessment systems must be
functional under day, night, overcast, and artificial lighting conditions. The system must
provide a clear and suitable image for assessment.
a. Primary Assessment. When CCTV is used for primary assessment, the video
subsystem must be integrated with the CAS/SAS alarm display systems. Primary
assessment system requirements are as follows:
(1) the system must have the capability to automatically switch to the camera
associated with the alarm event and to display that event for operator
assessment;
(2) video recorders must be actuated by the intrusion alarm and record
automatically;
(3) video recorder response time must be rapid enough to record the actual
intrusion and able to capture sufficient information for alarm assessment;
(4) video assessment coverage must be complete (e.g., no gaps between zones
or areas that cannot be assessed because of shadows or objects blocking
the camera’s field of view);
(5) CCTV used for primary assessment must be tamper protected and use
fixed cameras with fixed focal length lenses that provide a clear image for
assessment (pan-tilt-and-zoom cameras may be used for surveillance);
(6) CCTV systems must use real-time signal transmission of camera views;
and
(7) the video system must accept manual override of automatic features. This
capability permits the operation of a CCTV camera associated with
another event.
b. Lighting. Sufficient lighting for assessment must be maintained on the PIDAS
sensor zones and the clear zone for CCTV assessment and surveillance 24 hours a
day.
4. BACKUP POWER SUPPLIES. Backup and emergency power supplies must be
provided in accordance with Chapter VII.

bases of maneuver for PF tactical units. These positions must, as a minimum,
have a bullet-penetration resistance equivalent to at least .50 caliber armor
piercing.
3. INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEMS. The requirements for physically protecting IDS
components are as follows.
a. Tamper. System components protecting Category I and II quantities of SNM,
Top Secret, and vital equipment, must be protected with tamper indication in both
the access and the secure modes. Tamper indication is required for intrusion
detection/alarm devices, wiring between detection/alarm devices and data
gathering panels (DGPs/field processors), and transmission lines from field
processors to annunciators and/or alarm stations.
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
VI-2 8-26-05
b. Enclosures and Junction Boxes. Electronic enclosures and junction boxes must be
secured to preclude unauthorized access. Manholes and other enclosures, if
serving as a junction box for data communication cables, must be protected from
unauthorized access.
c. Line Supervision. Line supervision is required for IDSs protecting safeguards and
security (S&S) interests. For Property Protection Areas (PPA), line supervision
may be provided consistent with a documented cost/benefit analysis as
determined by each facility. Where data encryption is used, key changes must be
made annually (at least every 12 months) and whenever compromise is suspected.
The requirements for line supervision are listed below (see Table 1, Line
Supervision Protection).
Section 23
(1) Line Supervision Options. Different combinations of line supervision are
allowed depending on link routing:
(a) alarm communication link remaining within the security area; and
(b) alarm communication link going through a lower security area.
(c) Line supervision is required for the two primary segments of alarm
data transmission: from sensor to field processor and from field
processor to field processor or the central processing unit.
(2) Classes of Line Supervision. Performance-based definitions are listed
below in descending order of protection.
(a) In general, Classes A through C apply to alarm communication
links between field processors, between field processors and
central alarm computers or alarm annunciator panels, and between
computers.
1 For Class A, the data transmission must comply with
DOE M 200.1-1, Telecommunications Security Manual,
dated 3-1-97.
2 For Class B, data must be transmitted by one of the
following:
a encryption using a proprietary encryption scheme
that results in nonrepetitive communications;
b pseudo-random polling scheme;
c nonencryption over fiber optic cable enclosed in
conduit; or
d nonencryption over fiber optic cable monitored by
an optical supervision system.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-2 Section A
8-26-05 VI-3
3 For Class C, unencrypted data transmissions include:
a RS-232, RS-485, etc., data transmission standard;
b standard repetitive polling schemes; and
c exception reporting with repetitive polling for
health checks.
(b) Classes D through F apply to data transmission through changes in
the analog signal. In general, Classes D through F apply to alarm
communication links between a sensor and a field processor.
1 Class D supervision must combine various frequencies of
AC, be pulsed DC, or be a combination of AC and DC.
2 Class E supervision must be an AC signal.
3 Class F supervision must be a DC signal.
(3) Protecting Alarm Wiring. Physical protection of alarm wiring must be as
listed below.
(a) Protection for communication links must meet the requirements for
the National Electric Code for protection from damage per
Underwriters Laboratories Inc., Standard 681 “Installation and
Classification of Burglar and Holdup Alarm Systems” (UL-681).
(b) Protection for wiring between the sensor and the field processor
using Class F line supervision must be protected from access.
Acceptable methods for protecting alarm system wiring must use:
1 a totally concealed or embedded conduit system;
2 threaded conduit (i.e., rigid or intermediate metal conduit)
for all connections of exposed conduit;
3 seal junction boxes, pull boxes and other openings by
welding, epoxy sealed threads, locked cover plates,
tamper-resistant screws, or tamper alarm switches; or
4 alarm coverage of all wiring.
(4) Tamper Switch Wiring. Tamper switch wiring must be as listed below.
(a) For communication links, field processors and associated
equipment must be provided with tamper detection switches on
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
VI-4 8-26-05
enclosure covers wired to a 24-hour circuit. The wiring must be
protected from unauthorized access, per UL-681.
(b) For wiring between a sensor and field processor, tamper switches
must be wired into a 24-hour circuit. More than one switch may be
wired to a single circuit if the switches are located in the same
general area.
Section 24
(c) The switches may be wired as part of the line supervision circuit,
per UL-681. However, tamper switches may be wired independent
of line supervision circuits for hazardous areas, radiological
controlled areas, SNM storage vaults, and other areas where testing
and maintenance cost would be offset by using a separate circuit.
d. Alarm Annunciation and Response.
(1) Line supervision alarms, Classes A through C, must annunciate in both the
CAS and the SAS, indicating the type of alarm (data error, loss of
communication, tamper, etc.) and the affected equipment.
(2) Sensor to field processor (Classes C through F) line supervision alarms
must annunciate in both the CAS and SAS, indicating the sensor or
sensors affected.
(3) PF personnel must be put on alert, and system maintenance personnel
must be notified, when line supervision alarms indicate a loss of a
communications path of a redundant system.
(4) Line supervision alarm, tamper alarm, or radio frequency alarm events
(e.g., “statement-of-health” alarm, sensor alarm, tamper alarm, and radio
frequency jamming indications) must be treated the same as an intrusion
alarm for the area being protected.
(5) Maintenance personnel must be notified of a tamper or line supervision
alarm, and the alarm condition must be assessed by PF response personnel
(see Chapter XIII).
(a) Compensatory measures must be implemented to protect the
alarmed location until the required testing and repairs are
completed.
(b) Tamper and line supervision alarms must be tested to verify
effectiveness. Alarm system components being protected by the
tamper alarm [e.g., balanced magnetic switch (BMS), microwave,
passive infrared] must be tested through physical actuation (see
Table 1, Line Supervision Protection).

CHAPTER VII. INTRUSION DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Intrusion detection and assessment systems and/or
visual observations by protective force (PF) personnel must be used to protect special
nuclear material (SNM). Intrusion detection and assessment systems and/or visual
observations by authorized personnel must be used to protect classified matter and
Government property. When required, intrusion detection and assessment systems must
be installed to ensure breaches of security barriers or boundaries are detected and alarms
annunciate. The systems must be configured so that only authorized personnel may make
adjustments.
a. Protecting SNM. The following requirements apply for alarms protecting
Category I and II quantities of SNM.
(1) Intrusion detection and assessment must be immediate.
Section 25
(2) Intrusion detection and assessment systems must function effectively in all
environmental conditions and under all types of lighting conditions or
compensatory measures must be implemented.
(3) Perimeter Intrusion Detection Assessment Systems (PIDAS) must use
multilayered, complementary intrusion detection sensors.
b. Assessment of Intrusion Detection System Alarms. An effective method must be
established for assessing all intrusion detection system (IDS) alarms (e.g., line
supervision, intrusion, false, nuisance, system failure, tamper, and radio frequency
alarms when radio frequency is used) to determine the cause.
(1) IDS alarms used for the protection of SNM or classified matter must be
assessed immediately by either the PF or by Central Alarm Station
(CAS)/Secondary Alarm Station (SAS) personnel via Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV). IDS alarms used for protection of Government
property must be assessed immediately by authorized personnel or by use
of CCTV.
(2) CCTV assessment cameras used as primary assessment for PIDAS alarms
must be fixed (i.e., not pan or tilt).
c. Intrusion Detection System Monitoring. IDSs must be monitored continuously by
CAS/SAS personnel.
d. Response Capability. Response capability to IDS alarms must be provided to
protect safeguards and security (S&S) interests. PF response times must be
compatible with the protection strategy employed at the site (e.g., as stipulated in
Chapter II). The response capability must be provided by assigned PF personnel
or by a local law enforcement agency (LLEA), as applicable.
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
VII-2 8-26-05
e. False and Nuisance Alarms. The IDS must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained to ensure that the number of false and nuisance alarms do not reduce
system effectiveness.
(1) Each interior intrusion detection sensor must have a false and nuisance
alarm rate of less than one alarm per 2,400 hours of operation, while
maintaining proper detection sensitivity.
(2) Each exterior intrusion detection sensor must have a false and nuisance
alarm rate of less than one alarm per 24 hours of operation, while
maintaining proper detection sensitivity.
(3) If the alarms can be assessed at all times, either visually or by CCTV, a
higher nuisance alarm rate may be tolerated if such alarms do not degrade
system effectiveness. Although higher rates may be tolerated, each alarm
occurrence, regardless of the cause, must be documented for analysis and
trending purposes.
f. Performance. Systems, system components, and critical system elements must be
performance-tested at a documented frequency commensurate with the require-
ments established in the DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program
Planning and Management. The testing program for systems and system
components protecting all other security interests must be developed and
implemented in locally developed security planning documents.
(1) Performance testing must be conducted to validate system effectiveness.
(2) Testing must ensure that the line or data link is capable of transmitting an
alarm signal and that it has not been compromised.
2. INTERIOR INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. Interior IDSs are
designed to detect unauthorized access to security areas containing classified matter and
SNM.
a. Communication Paths. IDSs must be designed with independent redundant data
communication paths for protecting Category I and II quantities of SNM.
Section 26
b. Prevention of Bypass. Interior alarm systems must be designed, installed, and
maintained to deter adversaries from circumventing the detection system.
(1) Interior alarms inside Material Access Areas (MAAs) and vault-type
rooms must be installed to eliminate gaps in detection coverage.
(2) The IDS must be tested when installed and annually (at least every
12 months) thereafter.
(3) If testing indicates degradation of the IDS, it must be repaired and
retested.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-2 Section A
8-26-05 VII-3
c. Unattended Openings. Interior IDSs may be used as compensatory measures for
unattended entry/exit points, utility ducts, or other openings meeting the
unattended openings requirements of Chapter IX.
d. Vault and Vault-Type Room Intrusion Detection System. Vault and vault-type
room interior IDSs must meet the requirements of Chapter XI of this Manual.
e. Balanced Magnetic Switch (BMS) Intrusion Detection System. BMSs must
initiate an alarm upon attempted substitution of an external magnetic field when
the switch is in the normal secured position and whenever the leading edge of the
door is moved 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the door jamb.
f. Volumetric Devices. Volumetric interior IDSs must detect an individual moving
at a rate of 1 foot per second or faster within the total field of view of the sensor
and its plane of detection.
g. Performance Testing. Interior IDSs must be functionally tested in accordance
with locally established procedures at a documented frequency.
3. EXTERIOR INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS. Exterior IDSs
are designed to detect unauthorized entry into security areas.
a. Exterior Intrusion Detection System. Exterior IDSs must be designed with
independent redundant data communication paths for protecting Category I and II
quantities of SNM. The paths must be documented in a Site Safeguards and
Security Plan (SSSP) or Site Security Plan (SSP), consistent with Table 1 (see
Chapter VI).
b. Detection Capability. A PIDAS must be capable of detecting an individual
crossing the detection zone by walking, crawling, jumping, running, or rolling, or
climbing the fence at any point in the detection zone, with a detection probability
of 90 percent and confidence level of 95 percent.
(1) The IDS must be tested when installed and annually (at least every
12 months) thereafter to validate that it meets detection probability and
confidence level requirements.
(2) Any time the IDS falls below the required probability of detection, the
IDS must be repaired and retested.
(3) When calculating detection probability for multiple sensor systems,
detection is assumed if any of the sensors report an intrusion.
c. Unattended Openings. For all openings in exterior barriers, unattended gates
and/or entry/exit points, and culverts and sewers that meet the unattended opening
criteria of Chapter XI, intrusion detection capabilities must be as effective as the
rest of the perimeter IDS.
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
VII-4 8-26-05
d. Perimeter Intrusion Detection Assessment System (PIDAS). PIDAS must be:
(1) designed to cover the entire perimeter without a gap in detection,
including the sides and tops of buildings situated within;
(2) located such that the length of each detection zone is consistent with the
characteristics of the sensors used in that zone and the topography;
(3) designed, installed, and maintained to deter adversaries from
circumventing the detection system;
Section 27
(4) provided with an isolation zone at least 20-feet (6-m) wide and clear of
fabricated or natural objects that would interfere with operation of
detection systems or the effectiveness of the assessment;
(5) free of wires, piping, poles, and similar objects that could be used to assist
an intruder traversing the isolation zone or that could assist in the
undetected ingress or egress of an adversary or matter; and
(6) constructed in a manner that detects and deters the use of wire, piping,
pulls, etc., that cannot be eliminated from the isolation zone.
e. Perimeter Intrusion Detection and Assessment System Zone Degradation. Each
PIDAS detection zone must be kept free of snow, ice, grass, weeds, debris,
wildlife, and any other item that may degrade the effectiveness of the system.
When this cannot be accomplished and detection capabilities become degraded,
compensatory measures must be taken.
4. RADIO FREQUENCY ALARM COMMUNICATIONS. The radio frequency alarm
communications systems, when used to protect Category I and II quantities of SNM must
be limited to emergency and temporary situations.
a. Radio Frequency Alarm Communications Systems. Radio frequency alarm
communications systems used for the protection of Category I and II quantities of
SNM must meet the following requirements. The system must:
(1) only be used as one of redundant or alternative paths. A hard-wired
communications link must be used as the primary method. Using two
radio frequencies to protect Category I quantities of SNM, one as the
primary and the other as the secondary path, does not meet the
requirement for redundant communications paths. An exposed,
supervised, hard-wired system used along with radio frequency is
acceptable as a redundant communication path for temporary applications.
(2) provide redundant, self-checking alarm communication paths that
annunciate system failure in the alarm stations. Alarm messages that are
not acknowledged because of a blocked transmission path must be
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-2 Section A
8-26-05 VII-5
retained as active and communicated later through a status or
statement-of-health message.
(3) ensure the statement-of-health interval allows for an assessment and
response.
(4) be capable of automatically changing the statement-of-health and alarm
messages so the messages are not always the same.
(5) be capable of detecting and annunciating radio frequency jamming.
(6) provide unique status change messages for alarm, tamper, and power
conditions.
(7) provide random or operator-initiated polling features to ensure
communication link integrity.
(8) use data encryption standards (DES) or other Government-approved
encryption techniques for statement-of-health and alarm messages.
(9) have tamper-resistant or tamper-alarmed transmitters in both the access
and secure modes.
(10) have battery backup capabilities.
(11) not produce spurious signals that interfere with other security system
components.
(12) provide a unique electronic address code for each sensor and line
supervision from sensor to transmitter.
(13) provide a means of interfacing to the alarm annunciation system (e.g., the
CAS).
(14) provide for the activation of immediate compensatory measures if all or
part of the system is being jammed, or if communications are otherwise
lost, disrupted, or degraded.
(15) must provide communications in all weather conditions and provide
immediate implementation of compensatory measures.
Section 28
(16) lose no alarm data during the period of lost or degraded communications.
(17) ensure system integrity is maintained (i.e., not diminished) during multiple
alarms.
b. Use of Radio Frequency Alarm Communications. Emergency and temporary use
of radio frequency alarm communications for the protection of Category I and II
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
VII-6 8-26-05
quantities of SNM must not exceed 7 days per application and no more than
21 days in a calendar year.
c. Other Requirements. In addition to the above requirements, the site must
implement the following procedures for the protection of Category I and II
quantities of SNM. Radio frequency alarm communications must:
(1) operate on Government frequency bands,
(2) be installed and maintained using the “two-person” rule,
(3) not change status on a network, e.g., from secure mode to access mode (if
the status of the network is changed, the CAS operator must be advised of
the mode change), and
(4) be performance tested in accordance with established performance
assurance procedures at a documented frequency (see DOE M 470.4-1,
Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management).
d. Risk Assessment. A risk assessment must be conducted on a site radio frequency
system protecting Category I and II quantities of SNM before it is installed to
determine system risk to being “spoofed,” “bypassed,” or “jammed.” This risk
assessment must be documented.
5. LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS. Lighting systems must allow detection and assessment
of unauthorized persons.
a. Protective Lighting–General. Protective system lighting must:
(1) enable assessment of unauthorized activities and/or persons at pedestrian
and vehicular entrances and allow examination of DOE security badges
and inspections of personnel, hand-carried items, packages, and vehicles.
(2) must not illuminate patrol paths or PF personnel manning fixed posts,
other than at entry control points. Lighting used to deter adversaries must
illuminate outward from the fixed post.
(3) be positioned so that PF personnel are not spotlighted, blinded, or
silhouetted by the lights; and the lighting placement and design should
enhance, not minimize, PF night-vision capabilities.
(4) ensure the implementation of compensatory measures when the lighting
system fails.
(5) be maintained and tested in accordance with locally approved procedures.
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-2 Chg 1 Section A
3-7-06 VII-7
Vertical line denotes change.
b. Protective Lighting for Category I and II Quantities of SNM.
(1) Lights must support a 24-hour visual assessment and, as a minimum,
2-foot-candle illumination at ground level for at least a 30-foot (9.14-m)
diameter around PF posts, and a minimum of 0.2-foot-candle illumination
within the PIDAS isolation zone.
(2) Where protective lighting at remote locations is not feasible, PF patrols
and/or fixed posts must be equipped with night-vision and/or thermal
imaging devices. Night-vision and/or thermal imaging devices must not
be used routinely in lieu of protective lighting at entrances and exits but
may be used if lighting is lost.
(3) Light glare must be kept to a minimum if it hampers protective personnel.
(4) Light sources on protected perimeters must be located so that illumination
is directed outward.
6. ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS. Power supply elements, located or
operating within the confines of the site, must be protected from malicious physical
attacks based on local site determination of vulnerability assessment (VA) impact. The
requirements for primary and auxiliary power sources are as follows.
Section 29
a. Primary Power Supply. All IDSs protecting Category I and II quantities of SNM
and/or Top Secret matter must have a primary power source from normal onsite
power. Power sources must contain a switching capability for operational testing
to determine required auxiliary power sources. The following power supply
requirements apply:
(1) Alarm and Communication Systems. Normal primary power must come
directly from the onsite power distribution system or, for isolated
facilities, directly from the public utility.
(2) Communications and Automated Information Systems, Alarm Stations,
and Radio Repeater Stations. Critical system elements must be connected
to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or to auxiliary power.
(3) Radio Control Centers. Power supply requirements must be determined
assuming that all transmitters are keyed simultaneously while associated
receivers and other equipment and building services are in operation.
b. Auxiliary Power Sources. Intrusion detection and assessment, automated access
control, and CCTV systems protecting Category I and II quantities of SNM and/or
Top Secret matter must have an auxiliary power capability.
(1) Transfer to auxiliary power must be automatic upon failure of the primary
source and not affect operation of the protection system, subcomponents,
or devices.
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
VII-8 8-26-05
(2) The CAS and SAS must receive an alarm indicating failure of the
protection system’s primary power and immediately transfer to the
auxiliary power source.
(3) Rechargeable batteries, when used, must be kept fully charged or subject
to automatic recharging whenever the voltage drops to a level specified by
the battery manufacturer. Nonrechargeable batteries must be replaced
whenever their voltage drops 20 percent below the rated voltage or based
on manufacturer’s recommendations. An alarm signal must alert the CAS
and SAS to indicate this condition.
(4) Auxiliary power sources must support operational testing and routine
maintenance and be capable of sustaining full operation of auxiliary loads
(a minimum of 8 hours). Such power sources must have the necessary
built-in features to facilitate periodic operational testing to verify their
readiness.
c. Uninterruptible Power Sources (UPS). UPS must be provided for systems
requiring continuous power and considered for systems that, if interrupted, would
degrade the protection of the associated security area.

CHAPTER VIII. ACCESS CONTROLS AND ENTRY/EXIT INSPECTIONS
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Personnel, hand-carried items, deliveries/mail, vehicles,
and vehicle contents are subject to random inspections at security area boundaries except
for Protected Areas (PAs) and Material Access Areas (MAAs), where inspections are
mandatory. The cognizant security authority must approve local procedures that
implement requirements for access control and entry/exit inspections. The following
requirements apply to all security areas except Property Protection Areas (PPAs).
a. Access Control.
(1) Access must be based on an individual’s need-to-know to perform official
duties, validation of the individual’s access authorization, and the
presentation of a DOE security badge.
(2) A person allowed to enter a Limited Area (LA), Exclusion Area (EA), PA,
Vital Area, or MAA without an appropriate access authorization must be
escorted at all times by an individual with:
Section 30
(a) knowledge of security procedures for the security areas to prevent
compromise of classified information or matter;
(b) appropriate access authorization;
(c) need-to-know for the security area or the safeguards and security
(S&S) interests;
b. Badge Validation. Access to a security area requires verification of an access
authorization and a valid DOE security badge as required by Chapter XV.
c. Layered Access Controls. Access control requirements must be layered in a
graded manner at successive boundaries, as appropriate for the situation.
d. “Piggybacking”. The following requirements must be implemented in the local
DOE-approved security plan if piggybacking into LAs and EAs is permitted.
Authorized personnel are permitted to vouch for an individual, providing all
access authorization and need-to-know requirements are met.
(1) Personnel with the appropriate access authorization may vouch for another
person with the required access authorization and need-to-know to
“piggyback” (enter) an LA or EA.
(2) Authorized personnel permitting the entry of another person must inspect
the individual’s DOE security badge to ensure that it bears a likeness of
the individual and that he or she has the proper access authorization.
Authorized individuals entering an LA, when protective force (PF)
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
VIII-2 8-26-05
personnel are not controlling access, are responsible and must ensure that
unauthorized individuals do not enter (“piggyback”).
(3) All personnel within a vehicle are required to produce DOE security
badges when accessing an LA.
e. Automated Access Control Systems. Automated access control systems may be
used if the following requirements are met.
(1) Automated access controls used for access to any security area must verify
that the access authorization and the DOE security badge are valid (i.e.,
that the badge serial number read by the system matches the serial number
assigned to the badge holder). Badges must be validated by means of a
PIN or other approved means.
(2) When remote, unattended, automated access control system entry control
points are used for access to security areas, the barrier must be resistant to
bypass.
(3) Automated access control system intrusion alarms (e.g., annunciation of a
door alarm, duress alarm, tamper alarm, or anti-passback indication
feature) must be treated in the same manner as an intrusion alarm for the
area being protected.
(a) Both the Central Alarm Station (CAS) and Secondary Alarm
Station (SAS) used to protect Category I and Category II quantities
of SNM must monitor the automated access control system’s
intrusion alarm events.
(b) Electronic entry control point search equipment (e.g., metal
detectors) may annunciate locally to a PF-staffed entry control
point instead of annunciating at the CAS and SAS.
2. ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS AND ENTRY CONTROL POINTS.

CHAPTER XI. SECURE STORAGE
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Safeguards and security (S&S) interests, to include
special nuclear material (SNM), nuclear weapons, and classified information or matter,
must be protected as specified in Chapter II.
a. Secure Storage. S&S interests requiring secure storage must be placed in vaults,
vault-type rooms, vault-type-room complexes, and/or General Services
Administration (GSA)-approved security containers. A vault and/or vault-type
room (VTR) or security container must be located within a Limited Area (LA)
(see Chapter IV).
b. Approved Combination Locks. All security containers placed into service after
7-14-94 must have a lock that meets Federal Specification FF-L-2740A.
c. Access Controls. Access to vaults and VTR must be strictly controlled and based
on an appropriate access authorization and need-to-know.
(1) Persons without need-to-know and the appropriate access authorization
must be escorted at all times.
(2) Protective measures to mask classified matter must be used before visitors
or cleared persons without need-to-know receive access.
(3) Means of controlling access must be documented in a Site Safeguards and
Security Plan (SSSP) or Site Security Plan (SSP).
(4) Access controls at vaults and VTR must provide logging or recording of
all personnel entries and exits, including visitors. Logged or recorded
entries must include the identification/name and date/time of entry and
exit.
Section 41
(a) In vaults and VTR where entering personnel are restricted from
access (e.g., a foyer) to classified matter or SNM, logging entry
and exit is not required.
(b) The cognizant security authority may waive the requirement for
repeated logging for those personnel whose office is located within
the boundary of the vaults and vault-type rooms. Initial daily entry
and final daily exit logging are required.
d. Miscellaneous Openings. Any miscellaneous openings of a size and shape to
permit unauthorized entry [larger than 96 square inches (619.2 square cm) in area
and more than 6 inches (15.24 cm) in its smallest dimension] must be equipped
with barriers such as wire mesh, 9-gauge expanded metal, or rigid steel bars at
least 0.5 inches (1.3 cm) in diameter, welded vertically and horizontally 6 inches
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
XI-2 8-26-05
(15.24 cm) on center. The rigid steel bars must be securely fastened at both ends
to preclude removal. Where wire mesh, expanded metal, or rigid steel bars are
used, care must be taken to ensure classified matter within the vault cannot be
removed with any type of instrument. The annular space between the sleeve and
the pipe or conduit must be filled with wood, waterproof caulking, or similar
material to show evidence of surreptitious removal.
2. VAULTS AND VAULT-TYPE ROOMS. The standards required for construction of
vaults and VTRs, other than GSA-approved modular vaults, apply to all new
construction, reconstruction, alterations, modifications, and repairs. The cognizant
security authority must approve VTR before they are authorized for storage of classified
matter.
a. Vaults. A vault must be a penetration-resistant, windowless enclosure that has
doors, walls, floor, and ceiling substantially constructed of materials that resist
forced penetration. The material thickness must be determined by the
requirement for forcible entry delay times for the S&S interest stored within, but
must not be less than the delay time provided by 8-inch (20.32-cm) thick
reinforced concrete, poured in place, with a minimum 28-day compressive
strength of 2,500 pounds per square inch (17,237 kilopascal). As an alternative to
minimum concrete thickness or structural criteria specified in the following
paragraphs, activated barriers may be used to reduce construction and achieve the
same delay time.
b. Modular Vaults. A modular vault approved by the GSA may be used in lieu of a
vault for the storage of classified matter. The modular vault must be equipped
with a GSA-approved vault door and locks and intrusion detection alarms, as
specified in paragraph 4b below.
c. Vault-Type Room Construction. The perimeter walls, floors, and ceiling must be
permanently constructed and attached to one another. All construction must be
done in a manner that provides visual evidence of unauthorized penetration. The
following standards are required for all new construction, reconstruction,
alterations, modifications, and repairs of existing areas.
(1) Hardware. Heavy-duty builders’ hardware must be used in construction,
securely fastened to preclude surreptitious removal and to ensure visual
evidence of tampering. Hardware accessible from outside the area must
be peened, pinned, brazed, or spot-welded to preclude removal.
(2) Floors and Walls. Construction materials must offer resistance to and
evidence of unauthorized entry into the vault-type room. If insert-type
panels are used, a method must be devised to prevent their removal
without leaving visual evidence of tampering.
Section 42
(a) Should any of the outer walls/floors or ceilings be adjacent to
space not controlled by DOE, the walls must be constructed of
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-2 Section A
8-26-05 XI-3
more substantial building materials such as brick, concrete,
corrugated metal, etc.
(b) If visual access is a factor, barrier walls must be opaque or
translucent.
(3) Windows. Windows that open and are less than 18 feet (5.48 m) from an
access point (e.g., another window outside the area, roof, ledge, or door)
must be fitted with 0.5-inch (1.3-m) bars no more than 6 inches (15.24 cm)
apart, plus crossbars to prevent spreading, and/or 18-gauge expanded
metal or wire mesh securely fastened on the inside.
(a) If visual access is a security concern, the windows must be closed
and locked and must be translucent or opaque.
(b) During nonworking hours, the windows must be closed and
securely fastened to preclude surreptitious entry.
(4) Doors. Doors must be of wood or metal and of substantial construction.
Windows, service panels, or similar openings must be secured with
18-gauge expanded metal or wire mesh securely fastened on the inside.
Wooden doors must be of solid core construction, 1.75 inches (4.445 cm)
thick, or faced on the exterior side with at least 16-gauge sheet metal.
(a) If visual access is a security concern, windows must be translucent
or opaque.
(b) When doors are used in pairs, an astragal must be installed where
the doors meet.
(c) When door louvers or baffle plates are used, they must be
reinforced with 18-gauge expanded metal or wire mesh fastened
inside the vault-type room.
(5) Ceilings.
(a) When barrier walls do not extend to the true ceiling and a false
ceiling is created, the false ceiling must be reinforced with
18-gauge expanded metal or wire mesh to serve as a true ceiling,
or ceiling tile clips must be secured.
1 Any wire mesh or expanded metal used must overlap the
adjoining walls and be secured to show evidence of any
tampering.
2 When ceiling tile clips are used, a minimum of four clips
per tile must be installed. The clips must be installed from
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
XI-4 8-26-05
the interior of the area, and each clip must be mounted to
preclude surreptitious entry.
(b) In some instances, it may not be practical to erect a solid
suspended ceiling as part of the vault-type room. For example, in
vault-type rooms where overhead cranes are used to move bulky
equipment, the air-conditioning system may be impeded by the
construction of a solid suspended ceiling, or the height of the
classified matter may make a suspended ceiling impractical. In
such cases, special provisions such as motion detection systems
must be used to ensure that the area cannot be entered
surreptitiously by going over the top of the walls.
3. VAULT-TYPE ROOM COMPLEX. VTR complex barriers must meet the penetration
resistance, intrusion detection, and access control requirements to be used for open
storage of classified matter.
a. VTR Criteria. Vault-type room S&S criteria may be extended to multiple rooms,
including an entire building. Protective measures must ensure that the security
interest is surrounded by an intrusion detection system (IDS) alarm or that the
entire surrounding perimeter is able to detect penetration. Individuals must be
authorized for access to all S&S interests within the VTR complex before they are
allowed to enter, or supplementary protective measures must be employed to
shield the security interest from view.
Section 43
b. VTR Complex General Requirements. The general requirements for a VTR
complex are listed below.
(1) Barrier requirements apply to the outer walls, floor, and ceiling.
(2) Outer walls must extend from true floor to true ceiling.
(3) Interior walls may extend only to a false ceiling and/or raised floor.
(4) Interior doors, windows, and openings may exist between different work
areas.
(5) Access authorization and need-to-know restrictions must be enforced.
c. Detection of Unauthorized Access. The requirement to detect unauthorized
access may be accomplished through direct visual observation by an individual
authorized in the area or through intrusion detection sensors. Detection of inner
wall penetration or motion within the vault-type room complex is required. False
ceilings and raised floors are permitted.
d. Intrusion Detection System Sensors. Intrusion detection sensors associated with
walls, floors, and ceilings that are not under constant visual surveillance, but are
CANCELE
D
DOE M 470.4-2 Section A
8-26-05 XI-5
associated with the vault-type room complex must be activated and functioning at
all times.
4. INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEMS. IDSs are required for vaults and vault-type
rooms. IDSs are required in some instances where certain types of containers are used to
store classified matter. The IDS must be activated when the vault or vault-type room is
unoccupied or the security container is unattended (i.e., the storage area must either be
manned constantly or under the protection of an IDS).
a. Vaults. Doors or openings allowing access into vaults must be equipped with IDS
devices. A balanced magnetic switch (BMS) or other equally effective device
must be used on each door or movable opening to allow detection of attempted or
actual unauthorized access.
b. VTRs. IDSs must be capable of detecting penetration through floors, walls,
ceilings, and openings or movement within the vault-type rooms consistent with
that required to remove or compromise S&S interests.
(1) Where IDS sensors are used to detect penetration of the vault-type room
envelope, the unattended openings discussed in Chapter IX, paragraph 8,
also must be protected.
(2) Where IDS sensors are used to detect movement within the vault-type
room, sensor coverage must be provided for credible pathways from the
exterior barrier to the matter being protected.
(a) The cognizant security authority may require the installation of
sensors in the false floor area (or ceiling) if the distance exceeds
6 inches (15.24 cm).
(b) The asset under protection must be considered when not requiring
the installation of sensors between the true floor (or ceiling) and
the false floor (or ceiling).
(3) In addition to detecting penetration of the vault-type room or movement in
the room, a BMS or other effective device must be used on each door or
movable opening to allow detection of attempted or actual unauthorized
access.
5. SECURITY CABINETS/CONTAINERS. The GSA establishes the national standards
and specifications for commercially manufactured security containers or cabinets.
Containers purchased after 7-14-94 must conform to the latest GSA standards and
specifications.
a. Security Cabinets/Containers Requirements.
(1) Label and Mark. Security containers, cabinets, or repositories must bear a
test certification label on the inside of the locking drawer or door and must
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2
XI-6 8-26-05
be marked “GSA-Approved Security Container” on the outside of the top
drawer or door.
Section 44
(2) Maintenance. A history for each security container describing damage
sustained and repairs accomplished must be recorded on Optional Form
(OF) 89 and retained for the life of the security container.
(3) Transfer of Security Containers. When a security container is transferred
from one organization to another, the custodian from the original
organization must certify in writing that all classified matter has been
removed before the transfer takes place. Certification must be made to the
cognizant security authority and must include the security container’s
make and property tag number (or other unique identifying numbers or
markings), the custodian’s name and organization, and the statement “All
classified matter was removed from this (these) security container(s)
before transfer from (transferring organization) to (receiving
organization).”
b. Damage and Repair of GSA-Approved Security Containers. Only cleared or
escorted safe technicians or locksmiths may neutralize lock-outs or repair any
damage that affects the integrity of a security container approved for the storage
of classified information.
(1) Requirements in Federal Standard 809, “Neutralization and Repair of GSA
Approved Containers,” must be met for neutralization and repair of
GSA-approved containers and vault doors.
(2) Physically modified containers are not considered approved by GSA.

another Federal agency. This category includes:
(a) DOE contractors, military, and other Federal personnel who are
given site-specific access but whose duties do not require them to
access other DOE facilities; and
(b) personnel possessing a “TS” or “S” clearance and awaiting a final
DOE “Q” or “L” access authorization.
(3) Visitors and military or other Federal agency personnel not provided with
permanent DOE security badges must follow the visitation procedures of
the site to be visited as approved by DOE line management.
Section 50
(4) Individuals who have been issued an LSSO badge, who visit another site
and need access to Limited Areas, Exclusion Areas, Protected Areas, and
Material Access Areas or classified information, must submit DOE
F 5631.20, “Request for Visit or Access Approval” (see DOE M 470.4-1,
Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management).
d. Temporary Badges. Temporary badges may be issued to DOE and DOE
contractor employees under the locally developed procedures as an interim
measure when badges are lost, forgotten, or stolen. Temporary badges may be
designed without DOE security badge color coding indicating an access
authorization and without name and photograph. Temporary badges must clearly
indicate that the badge is temporary.
e. Foreign National Badges. Badges issued to foreign nationals must be as follows.
(1) Cleared Foreign Nationals. Cleared foreign nationals must be issued a
DOE security badge. The difference between the cleared foreign national
badge and the DOE security badge is that the individual’s country of
citizenship must be displayed. The DOE security badge issued to a
cleared foreign national must be issued by the organization/badging
authority reporting to the DOE organization holding the foreign national’s
personnel clearance file. Cleared foreign nationals must adhere to the
requirements in DOE O 142.3, Unclassified Foreign Visits and
Assignments, dated 6-18-04 (see DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security
Program Planning and Management).
(2) Uncleared Foreign Nationals. An LSSO badge must be issued to
uncleared employees who are foreign nationals and whose official duties
require routine or regular access to DOE facilities. These badges must be
red. The color red is reserved exclusively for uncleared, foreign national
badges and must not be used for any other type of LSSO badge.
Uncleared, foreign nationals must adhere to the requirements in

DOE O 142.3, Unclassified Foreign Visits and Assignments, dated
6-18-04 (see DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning
and Management).
3. ISSUANCE, USE, RECOVERY, AND DESTRUCTION OF DOE SECURITY
BADGES.
a. Issuance of Security Badges. DOE security badges must be issued to DOE and
contractor employees who have been granted access authorizations and who
require access to DOE security areas. These badges must be used and accepted at
all other sites and facilities (see DOE M 470.4-5, Personnel Security).
b. Issuance with Special Nuclear Material (SNM) or Classified Access. Measures
must be taken to ensure that a single individual cannot issue a security badge
allowing unauthorized access into an area containing SNM or classified matter.
c. Issuer Clearance Level. Personnel with read/write access to systems containing
records and information concerning badges, access authorizations, and access
control authentication data must be cleared at the same level (L or Q) as the
highest access authorization in the system data set. Sites should develop security
plans to control access to security systems that maintain badging and clearance
information.
d. Site Usage. A DOE security badge must be used and accepted as evidence of
access authorization and must be accepted for admittance to security areas
without additional security badging.
(1) The organization being visited is responsible for verifying an individual’s
DOE access authorization level and determining need-to-know before
granting access to SNM or classified information.
Section 51
(2) The information on the magnetic stripe must not be used for any purpose
other than access control. The information on the magnetic stripe must
not be collected or stored outside of DOE access control applications.
e. Individual Requirements. DOE line management approves implementing
procedures to ensure individuals receiving the DOE security badge are
responsible for the following.
(1) Protecting the security badge against loss, theft, or misuse and reporting a
lost, stolen, or misused badge to the cognizant security authority within
24 hours of discovery.
(2) Maintaining the DOE security badge in good condition and protecting its
integrity by ensuring that the badge is not altered, photocopied,
counterfeited, reproduced, or photographed.
CANCELE

(3) Returning the DOE security badge, according to local procedures and as
approved by DOE line management, when it is no longer valid or required.
(4) Surrendering or returning the DOE security badge when requested
according to local procedures approved by DOE line management.
(5) Wearing the DOE security badge conspicuously, photo side out, in a
location above the waist and on the front of the body, while having access
to DOE facilities. (A deviation to this requirement may be permitted for
health or safety reasons.)
(6) Not using the DOE security badge outside of DOE facilities for other than
Government purposes.
f. Thirty-Person-or-Less Operations.
(1) DOE security badges must be used at DOE and contractor facilities and
operations involving access of 30 or more people.
(2) Facilities and operations involving access of less than 30 people may be
excluded from the DOE security badge requirement only when the nature
of activities and involvements permits adherence to a personal recognition
system that provides similar high levels of assurance that unauthorized
persons will not be allowed access to security areas, facilities, classified
matter, or other security interests.
g. Recovery of DOE Security Badges. DOE security badges are the property of the
Government. Local procedures must be established for returning security badges
to the issuing office whenever an individual has terminated employment, is
transferred (including transfer of a contractor between contracts and when
changing employment with contractors at the same site), or otherwise no longer
requires the badge.
(1) Individuals who no longer have a valid requirement for access to DOE
facilities must surrender their badges according to local procedures as
approved by the DOE cognizant authority.
(2) Badges issued to employees, contractors, and other individuals must be
recovered at the final security checkpoint or earlier, and the individuals
must be escorted from the site if circumstances or conditions indicate the
need. Recovered DOE security badges must be destroyed.
(3) If a terminated employee’s DOE security badge is not recovered, the
badge must be treated as a lost or stolen badge and immediately reported
to the issuing office.
h. Individual Changes of Appearance. A DOE security badge must be confiscated
and reissued, with a new photograph, if the individual’s appearance has changed
significantly.
CANCELE
D
Section A DOE M 470.4-2

i. Badge Destruction. DOE security badges that are no longer needed must be
destroyed so that the badge cannot be reconstructed. If destruction is not
immediate, badges must be stored in a secure manner until they can be destroyed.
Section 52
j. Temporary and Visitor Badge Reuse. Temporary and visitor’s badges that do not
include individuals’ photos must be recovered and may be reissued.
4. ACCOUNTABILITY OF DOE SECURITY BADGES. Records must be maintained by
issuing offices showing the disposition of DOE security badges. Such records must
include the description and serial number; date of issuance; and name, organization, and
date of destruction.
a. Records. Records must be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the
local records management program.
b. Lost Badges. A record of missing DOE security badges must be maintained.
Personnel and/or systems controlling access to DOE security areas must be
provided current information regarding missing badges to prevent badge misuse.
The loss or recovery of DOE security badges must be reported immediately to the
issuing office.
5. PROTECTION OF DOE SECURITY BADGE MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT.
Stocks of badging materials, unissued DOE security badges, and badge-making and
processing equipment must be stored to protect against loss, theft, or unauthorized use.
Losses should be reported commensurate with Section N of DOE M 470.4-1, Safeguards
and Security Program Planning and Management.
6. DOE SECURITY BADGE VALIDATION. DOE line management approves local
procedures for validation of the DOE security badge at access control points (e.g., by
automation or protective force (PF) physical examination of the security badge).
Procedures must require PF or assigned security personnel to validate the DOE security
badge at all DOE facilities, including those worn by pedestrians or vehicle occupants, and
to ensure that the badge photo matches the presenter’s face and that the badge has not
been altered.
a. Badge validation by PF or security personnel is not required at access control
points that rely on automated access control systems for entry into DOE facilities.
b. Other methods of validation may be instituted as specified in Chapter VIII.

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT
DOE M 470.4-2, PHYSICAL PROTECTION
All requirements contained in DOE M 470.4-2, Physical Protection, dated 8-26-05, apply to
contractors who are responsible for operating and/or administering the Department of Energy
(DOE), including the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Physical Protection
Program for protecting safeguards and security (S&S) interests. The requirements in DOE
M 470.4-2 must be assigned to all subcontractors who have responsibilities for operating,
administering, and/or protecting DOE S&S interests.
Regardless of the performer of the work, the contractor is responsible for compliance with these
requirements. All requirements contained in DOE M 470.4-2 apply to site/facility management
contractors with responsibility for S&S interests at DOE and NNSA facilities. These
requirements must be flowed down to all subcontractors with specific responsibilities for
operating, administering, and/or protecting DOE S&S interests. For all other subcontracts, the
contractor is responsible for flowing down these requirements to subcontracts at any tier to the
extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance with the requirements. In doing so, the
contractor must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts. That
is, the contractor will (1) ensure that it and its subcontractors comply with these requirements to
the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance and (2) only incur costs that would be
incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
A violation of the provisions of this directive to the safeguards or security of Restricted Data or
other classified information may result in a civil penalty pursuant to subsection a. of
section 234B, of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 228b). The procedures for the
assessment of civil penalties are set forth in Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 824,
Procedural Rules for Assessment of Civil Penalties for Classified Information Security
Violations, (10 CFR Part 824).
