General. shall-be by in a contractual action, (1) (2) (3) Safeguards and security acceptance and validation tests shall be developed for each facility to validate functional requirements and effectiveness of the safeguards and security elements implemented and operating as part of a total system and to assure continuing operation as a total system. Safeguards and security acceptance and validation tests shall be conducted with the highest regard for the safety and health of personnel, protection of the environment, protection of Government property, and national security interests with consideration to depict a level of realism for the test to be representative of the capabilities of the Design Basis Threat Policy issued by SA-1. The requirements contained in DOE Orders, Manuals, Site Safeguards and Security Plans (SSSPs), safeguards and security plans, and other guidance documents will be the basis for designing and evaluating the tests, including frequency of testing and acceptance criteria. DOE 5630.16A 5 6-3-93 (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) Critical system elements shall be identified for each relevant key program element set forth in DOE 5630.11A, including Personnel Security, Protection Program Operation, Nuclear Materials Control and Accountability, and Information Security. Critical system elements may include safeguards and security equipment, procedures, and/or people. These elements shall be tested to verify their continued functionability, operability, effectiveness and/or performance.

Section 4

Validation testing of safeguards systems shall include elements that can detect-in-time-to-prevent (e.g., portal monitors and material surveillance procedures) and elements that can effectively account for special nuclear material in order to provide assurance that safeguards and security systems are functioning properly (e.g., physical inventory). Testing of some safeguards systems, such as the physical inventory, does not necessarily require a specific stand alone test, but instead a check and evaluation of accounting records, measurements data, and procedures. Testing of elements which are not prone to failure and which are not subject to compromise without noticeable tampering, such as walls and fences, is not required. At least every 365 days, a performance test encompassing critical system elements associated with a comprehensive site or facility threat scenario shall be performed to demonstrate overall facility safeguards and security system effectiveness. Comprehensive threat scenarios shall be taken from facility specific vulnerability assessments. At least every 365 days, after each inoperative or ineffective state for safeguards and security equipment, and after any equipment repairs, each critical system element identified under paragraph 8a(4) and any other critical system elements directly integrated/affected by such. equipment shall be tested through the conduct of effectiveness tests. Effectiveness testing shall cover the range of performance parameters required in the facility’s approved safeguards and security plan, and include the number of tests specified in the safeguards and security acceptance and validation test program plan and justified in safeguards and security acceptance and validation test plans. These tests shall be performed immediately after such repairs, inoperative state, or ineffective state. The overall safeguards and security program shall be considered in a degraded mode until such testing has confirmed the operability of all applicable performance parameters. Compensatory measures may be required during such degraded modes. Critical system elements shall be evaluated for continuing operability through the conduct of operability tests. 6 DOE 5630.16A 6-3-93 b. Safeauards and Security Acceptance and Validation Test Program Plan. A documented and formalized safeguards and security acceptance and validation test program plan shall be developed for each facility and shall be included as part of the approved safeguards and security plan. The purposes of this program plan are to document the process and to identify a comprehensive set of tests and a frequency of testing which confirm the ability of an implemented and operating, critical system element or total system to meet requirements contained in DOE safeguards and security Orders and (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) Manuals. The-plan shall include the following sections as a minimum: Program Description. A description of the facility’s safeguards and security acceptance and validation testing program shall be provided. Descriptive elements shall include the development, implementation, revision and recordkeeping of test plans and the preparation of required reports. Program Administration.

Include a description of any statistical models or mathematical formulas used to determine probabilities and confidence levels, the number of tests to be performed under each scenario to be tested, and pass/fail criteria. Also, models, equations, or methods to be used for data analysis shall be presented and discussed in detail. For tests validating effectiveness of equipment, provisions for recording calibration settings and equipment configurations shall be described. Test Controls. Identify those controls to be imposed to maintain the integrity of the test, yet minimize safety and security risks. Controls apply to people, procedures, and equipment characteristics - e.g., use of trusted agents, providing minimum notice of test, controlling lighting levels, or testing equipment under specific temperature and humidity environmental conditions. Resource Requirements. List resources that are needed to effectively conduct the test, including facilities, personnel, and equipment. Test Coordination Requirements. Identify operational and support elements - such as, facility operations, safety, quality assurance, and safeguards and security management, where coordination is necessary.

(2) Test documentation shall be retained according to DOE 1324.2A, RECORDS DISPOSITION, or as provided by law or contract. f. Unsatisfactory Results. Unsatisfactory results are determined from criteria specified in a safeguards and security validation test plan. The possibility of unpredictable test results which may not be categorized as DOE 5630.16A 6-3-93 pass or fail is recognized and addressed in the Test Results and Recommendations section of the safeguards and security acceptance and validation test report. Unsatisfactory results of a test may be cause to alter or suspend program operations protected by inadequate safeguards and security measures, if national security and/or the health and safety of facility employees or the public is jeopardized.

Section 7

(1) A decision to suspend operations is the responsibility of the cognizant Head of Field Element or the cognizant Secretarial Officer. (2) The significance of the programmatic impact that would occur, compensatory measures which have been, or can be, implemented, previous test results, other inspection findings, and potential as well as the immediacy of the risk to national security and the health and safety of the employees or the public will be the basis for a decision to suspend operations. 9. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE. Plans for full implementation of the requirements of DOE 5630.16 were required to be approved by Heads of Field Elements not later than 4-16-93. Plans shall be based on the status of existing compliance with this Order and shall include the timeframe for incremental and full implementation of those requirements not currently met.

Section 9

CRITICAL SYSTEM ELEMENT. A component of a larger system which directly affects the ability of that system to perform a required function. Critical system elements may include safeguards and security equipment, procedures, and/or people. EFFECTIVENESS TEST. A test to confirm that a critical system element is operating as required and can effectively perform a specified function. For example, in a balanced magnetic switch, an effectiveness test for intrusion detection would confirm that a 1 inch or more separation of the switch mounted on the door frame from the magnet mounted on the door resulted in an alarm. FACILITY. An educational institution, manufacturing plant, laboratory, office building, or complex of buildings located on the same site that is operated and protected as one unit by the Department or its contractor(s). OPERABILITY TEST. A test to confirm that a critical system element or total system is operating. For a balanced magnetic switch, an operability test would confirm that opening the door for entry or exit resulted in an alarm. PERFORMANCE TEST. A test to confirm the ability of an implemented and operating, critical system element or total system to meet an established requirement of protection against an adversary. VALIDATION. The confirmation by testing that an implemented, operational system or critical system element meets established requirements.
