CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS.
a. Program Definition. Numerous and varied activities and assets under the
Department of Energy are vital to the national defense and energy
security. Accordingly, the Department must ensure appropriate levels of
protection from loss or theft of classified matter or Government
property and acts of unauthorized access, theft, diversion, sabotage,
espionage, or other hostile acts which may cause unacceptable risks to
national security or the health and safety of DOE and contractor
employees, the public, or the environment.
(1) Safeguards are an integrated system of physical protection,
material accounting, and material control measures designed to
deter, prevent, detect, and respond to unauthorized possession,
use, or sabotage of nuclear materials.
(2) Security refers to those activities through which the Department
defines, develops, and implements its responsibilities under the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, Federal statutes, Executive
orders, and other directives for the protection of Restricted Data
and other classified information or matter, nuclear materials,
nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons components, and for the
protection of DOE and DOE contractor facilities, property,
equipment, and personnel.
b. Key Program Elements. Levels of protection appropriate to particular
safeguards and security interests are provided through the development
and execution of a comprehensive safeguards and security program. This
Order establishes the authorities and responsibilities for managing and
implementing the protection of security interests and sets forth the
framework for the Orders and Manuals which define tie policies, baseline
requirements and responsibilities specific to the major elements of the
Safeguards and Security Program. The key program elements are:
(1) Program Management {5630 Series).
(a) Program Planning;
(b) Program Management and Administration;
(c) Personnel Development and Training;
(d) Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence; and
DOE 5630.118 11
8-2-94
(e) Incident Reporting and Management.
Section 8
(2) Personnel Security 15631 Series).
(a) Access Authorization (Personnel Clearance);
{b) Security Awareness;
(c) Control of Classified Visits; and
(d) Unclassified Visits and Assignments by Foreign Nationals.
(3) Protection Program Operations (5632 Series).
(a) Physical Security;
(b) Security Systems;
(c) Protective Forces;
{d) Security Badges, Credentials, and Shields;
{e) Incident Response and Management; and
{f) Transportation Security.
(4) Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability (5633 Series).
{a) Material Control; and
{b) Material Accountability.
{5) Surveys and Facility Approval (5634 Series).
{a) Security Surveys and Inspections;
(b) Materials Control and Accountability Surveys and Inspections;
and
{c) Facility Activity Registration and Approval.
(6) Information Security (5639 Series).
(a) Classified Matter Protection and Control;
(b) Automated Information Systems Security;
(c) Technical Surveillance Countermeasures; and
(d) Operations Security.
(7) Independent Inspection and Evaluation (5630.12A).
12 DOE 563O.11B
8-2-94
c. Risk Analysis. The acceptance of some level of risk is inherent in any
activity. The determination of the appropriate level of protection
shall take into account the nature of the threat, the vulnerability of
the potential target, and the potential consequences of an adversarial
act. A rational and responsible balance will be obtained through the
planning and execution of a comprehensive safeguards and security
program. Specific site safeguards and security programs shall be based
on vulnerability/risk analyses. These programs shall be designed to
provide a high degree of assurance that thre~ts are deterred, denied,
contained, mitigated, or neutralized, as appropriate. Risk associated
with safeguards and security vulnerabilities should be reduced even
where not mandated by specific requirements, when such reduction is
consistent with the Department's mission and when supported by
appropriate cost/benefit analyses.
d. Site Specific Programs. Individual safeguards and security programs
shall be tailored to address specific site characteristics. The Site
Safeguards and Security Planning process enables cognizant line
organization program offices and field managers, in consultation with
the Director of Safeguards and Security, to design and implement a
protection program tailored to their respective operational needs,
recognizing ongoing programs, current threat guidance, current policy
and technology, and unique site specific requirements. Site-specific
protection programs shall be documented in Site Safeguards and Security
Plans. The residual risks to be accepted by the Department will be
identified by vulnerability/risk analyses.
e. Independent Assessments. Assessment of possible environment, safety and
health impacts at field organization level and review by the Assistant
Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health provides a means to
identify and resolve any environment, safety, and health issues which
may arise in the execution of safeguards and security programs.
Independent oversight to assess the effectiveness of the implementation
of the Department's safeguards and security policies, procedures,
systems and operations shall be provided through an inspection,
performance testing and evaluation program conducted by inspection and
evaluation teams of the Office of Security Evaluations.
Section 9
f. Alternative Means and Deviations. Alternate or equivalent means of
providing adequate safeguards and security may be proposed to meet a
specific requirement of this and other Safeguards and Security Program
Orders and associated Manuals. The following procedures and approval
levels shall apply:
(1) Variance. A variance is an approved condition that technically
varies from Safeguards and Security directive requirements, but
affords equivalent levels of protection without compensatory
measures.
(a) A variance may be approved by the Head of a Field Element.
Notification of variances shall be made to the cognizant
DOE 5630.llB
8-2-94
Headquarters Element and to the Office of Safeguards and
Security.
(b) For Headquarters Elements, the cognizant Secretarial Officer
may approve variances, with the concurrence of the Director,
Headquarters Operations Divsion, Office of Safeguards and
Security.

(d) Variances shall be documented in the appropriate safeguards
and security planning documents.
(e) Modifications to variances may be approved as described in
paragraphs 9f{l){a) and (b) above.
13
(2) Waiver. A waiver is an approved nonstandard condition that
deviates from DOE directive requirements which, if uncompensated,
would create a potential or real vulnerability and, therefore,
requires implementation of compensatory measures for the period of
the waiver (e.g., expenditure of additional resources to implement
enhanced protection measures).
(a) Waivers may be approved by Heads of Field Elements providing:
(1) Cognizant Headquarters Program Office(s) and the Office
of Safeguards and Security shall be notified of the
nature of the waiver 30 days in advance of such approval.
(2) Comments provided by Headquarters Elements are considered
before approving the waiver.
(3) Adequate compensatory measures are in place.
(4) Performance testing is accomplished, if appropriate.
(b) Waivers, for Headquarters Elements, may be approved by the
cognizant Secretarial Officer providing:
(1) The Office of Safeguards and Security shall be notified
of the nature of the waiver 30 days in advance of
approval.
(2) The Director, Headquarters Operations Division has
concurred in the waiver.
(3) The requirements of subparagraphs (a)(2), (3), and (4),
above are met.
(c) A waiver shall be for a period not to exceed 2 years.
(d) Waivers shall be documented in appropriate safeguards and
security planning documents.
14 DOE 563O.11B
8-2-94
(3) Exception. An exception is an approved deviation from a DOE
Safeguards and Security directive requirement that creates a
safeguards and security vulnerability. Exceptions shall be granted
only when correction of the nonstandard condition is adjudged to be
not feasible and compensatory measures are inadequate to preclude
the acceptance of risk. An exception must be approved by both the
Secretarial Officer and the Director of Security Affairs.
(a) For Field Elements, exception requests shall be submitted to
the cognizant Secretarial Officer for review and approval by
the Secretarial Officer and the Director of Security Affairs.
(b) For Headquarters Elements, approval of exceptions is granted
by the cognizant Secretarial Officer and the Director of
Security Affairs, through the Headquarters Operations
Division.
(c) Exceptions may be granted for a period of up to 3 years.
(d) The need for continuation of exceptions shall be validated
annually.
Section 10
(e) Exceptions shall be documented in appropriate safeguards and
security planning documents, and be included in Site Profiles
which form the basis for the Department's Annual Report to the
President on the Status of Safeguards and Security.
(4) Specific elements of information to be included with each request
for a deviation are provided in Attachment 2. Such cases shall be
documented, and approved deviations shall be documented in
safeguards and security documents. A deviation which is approved
out of cycle with the safeguards and security plan formulation and
approval process shall be documented as an attachment to th~
applicable safeguards and security plan.
(5) Compensatory measures which have been implemented and are used to
form the basis for an exception request shall be subject to formal
vulnerability assessments and must be performance tested and
validated by the cognizant Field Element. The results of the
vulnerability assessment(s) and performance tests shall be included
in documentation support for the Site Safeguards and Security Plan.
Performance testing and documentation, as necessary, may also be
required for locally approved variances and waivers.
(6) Cognizant Secretarial Officers and personnel representing the
Office of Safeguards and Security may perform onsite reviews,
assessments, and validation visits in order to obtain a full
understanding of the nature and impact of deviation requests.
(7) Secretarial Officers shall ensure waivers and exception requests
include realistic schedules for correcting the conditions requiring
deviations, ensure funding is effectively managed to address
DOE 563O.11B
8-2-94
15 (and 16)
safeguards and security interests, and monitor compliance with
approved schedules.
g. Management Review of Safeguards and Security Programs. Individuals upon
ass~ming senior management positions as set forth in paragraphs 8d(l)
and 8k{3) shall complete a review to determine the status of safeguards
and security programs under their responsibility. These reviews should
include detailed briefings on the safeguards and security posture in the
individual's area of responsibility. Results of oversight activities
such as inspections and evaluations, security surveys, self-assessments,
General Accounting Office audits, and other internal and external
evaluation functions should be assessed. Where applicable, ratings
included in reports to the President on the status of safeguards and
security at domestic nuclear weapons facilities should be reviewed. The
review must provide sufficient data and information to permit a
determination of the current status of safeguards and security
throughout the organization by the individual assuming responsibility
for the organization. Onsite visits shall be conducted as soon as
