(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.

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.
