CHAPTER I
PHYSICAL PROTECTION PLANNING
1. THREAT CONSIDERATIONS.
a. Planning for physical protection and access controls must account
for the potential of an insider threat as detailed in specific
guidance issued periodically by DP-1. Additionally, threats to
security interests may be posed by individuals who do not
possess authority for access to those interests. Individuals
without access may act in concert with individuals who possess
access authorizations.
Section 19
b. Acts which should be protected against include theft, sabotage,
facility seizure, and other criminal acts.
c. Classified threat guidance is developed by the Office of Safeguards
and Security (DP-34) and is issued as policy by the Assistant
Secretary for Defense Programs. This threat guidance may be
modified periodically and updated as conditions dictate.
2. PROGRAM PLANNING REQUIREMENTS AND DOCUMENTATION.
a. Baseline Compliance. This Order serves as the baseline compliance
requirements document for the physical protection of new and
existing facilities. As such, the requirements of this Order
are minimum standards.
b. Performance Requirements. Where applicable, additional requirements
for the adequate performance of safeguards and security systems are
contained in the classified threat guidance issued by DP-1.
c. Program Documentation. There are two basic program documentation
requirements. These are:
(1) Locally developed and approved site-specific safeguards and
security plans, which may be transmitted to DP-34 or other
organizations for information but not approval.
(2) Operations Office Master Safeguards and Security Plans.
These plans are developed by the Heads of Field
Organizations, and submitted to DP-34 for review and
concurrence.
1-1
1-2
3. PROGRAM PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS.
pertinent to the type and degree
security interests are:
DOE 5632.4
11-4-85
The basic considerations and factors
of physical protection provided for
a. Relative importance of the facility to the overall Departmental
program, considering such matters as the availability of alternate
facilities which could be used in an emergency;
b. Level of classification of Departmental interests;
c. Vulnerability of SNM, classified matter, vital facilities, equipment,
or material to acts of arson, civil disorders, espionage, riots,
sabotage, facility seizure, theft, terrorism, or vandalism;
ct. State of emergency preparedness and the potential effects on the
health and safety of the public and of Department and Departmental
contractor employees;
e. Quantities, chemical and physical form, isotopic composition,
containment, ease of separability, radioactivity, portability,
chemical purity, ease of concealment, and accessibility of SNM;
f. Location, size, and arrangement of the facility and number of
personnel involved;
g. Extent of need for integrating security measures with facility
operations;
h. Probable duration of operations, and probability of expansion,
curtailment, or other significant change in operations;
i. Need for compartmentalization of classified matter and activities;
j. Relative efficiency and economy of alternate methods of protection,
such as deployment of protective forces or use of escorts to
assure the most efficient use of manpower consistent with security
requirements.
4. EXCEPTIONS. When it is impractical or not cost effective to meet a
specific requirement of this Order, then alternate means of providing
adequate protection may be proposed. Such exceptions to the Order
should be developed by the Heads of Field Elements. There are three
categories of exceptions.
a. Affecting the security of Category II (or greater) quantities of
SNM and/or materials, facilities, or operations covered by the
classified threat guidance issued by DP-1. These exceptions should
DOE 5632.4
11-4-85
I-3 (and 1-4)
be developed by the Heads of Field Elements, and submitted in writing
to DP-34 for review and consultation prior to implementation. Written
records of such exceptions should be included in the appropriate site
specific safeguards and security plan(s).
Section 20
b. Affecting the security of less than Category II quantities of SNM and/or
materials, facilities or operations not covered by the classified threat
guidance issued by DP-1. These exceptions should be developed and
approved by the Heads of Field Elements. Written records of such
exceptions should be included in the appropriate site-specific safeguards
and security plan(s).
c. Exceptions to the provisions of this Order, as provided in this section,
shall be submitted in writing to the reviewing official within 12 months
of the effective date of this Order.
5. CLASSIFIED SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL. When SNM is classified because of its
configuration or content, or is part of a classified item, it shall receive,
as a minimum, the physical protection required by the Order for the category
of SNM involved, or that required by this Order for the assigned classifica
tion, whichever is greater.

1. BASIC CONSIDERATIONS.
a. Controls shall be established to prevent unauthorized access to
security areas or removal of security interests.
11-l
b. Access to security areas or security interests shall be limited to
persons who possess appropriate access authorization or certification,
and who require such access in the performance of their official
duties, on a need-to-know basis.
c. Persons without appropriate access authorization or certification
for the area vi sited shall be escorted by an appropriately cl eared
person at all times within security areas in which unsecured security
interests are located. When there are also local restrictions on
access due to operating, technical, or compartmentalization
considerations, only persons conversant with such restrictions
shall serve as escorts for visitors.
2. SECURITY AREAS.
a. A security area denotes a physically defined space established to
protect a security interest and subject to physical protection
and ac~ess controls.
b. Security areas are established when the nature, size, revealing
characteristics, sensitivity, or importance of the security interests
is such that access to them cannot otherwise be effectively controlled.
c. The type of security area established depends on the nature of the
security interests to be protected, with the following types required
for the protection of the listed security interests:
(1) Property Protection Area for protection of Departmental property,
located at property protection facilities ( see Chapter VII).
(2) Limited Area for protection of classified matter where guards,
security inspectors, or other internal controls can prevent
access by unauthorized persons to classified matter.
(3) Exclusion Area for protection of classified matter where mere
access to the area would result in access to classified matter.

(4) Protected Area for protection of irradiated or unirradiated
Category I anrl II special nuclear material (see Chapter VI).
(5) Material Access Area within a protected area for protection
of Category I special nuclear material (see Chapter VI).
(6) Vital Area within a protected area for protection of vital
equipment.
d. Offices of consultants or other individuals, small laboratories,
or other facilities with limited scope and volume of work normally
do not require establishment of security areas. However, adequate
security must be in place to preclude unauthorized access.

concrete with additional bracing as necessary at corners and
gate openings. Posts, bracing, and other structural members
shall be located inside the area.
{b) Shall be installed not more than 500 feet, or less than 20 feet,
from the building or matter under protection. Where these dis
tances cannot be observed because of property lines, building
locations, health and safety or other site-specific considera
tions, supplementary protective measures shall be provided,
such as greater height of fences, parallel fence, or more
frequent protective force patrols. Fence lines shall be kept
clear of vegetation, trash, equipment, and other objects which
could impede observation. Where practicable, at least 20 feet
of clearance shall be maintained between fence lines and adjacent
areas which could conceal potential intruders.

(a) A Departmental facility, contractor, or subcontractor
possessing classified information under the protection of a
central station alarm system shall have its alarm connected
by direct, continuously supervised leased line or by such
other means so as to distinguish its alarms from all other
customers of that central station.
{b) The line shall be continuously supervised so as to detect any
attempts to short, open, or substitute a bogus signal for the
legitimate ''no alarm" signal in a surreptitious attempt to
bypass the alarm system.
(2) For the protection of Category I or II amounts of SNM:
(a) For existing systems:
1 Direct or alternating current with continuous line super
vision adequate to detect a short, open, or substitution
shall be the minimum used, provided that all equipment
containers, junction boxes, and so forth, are tamper
resistant and alarm wiring is contained in rigid wall
metal conduit. Digital line supervision is, however,
preferred over direct or alternating current supervision.

as pertinent for proper physical protection of classified matter.
IV-6 DOE 5632,4
11-4-85
b. Lamps in which light is produced directly or indirectly by the use of
gas, such as sodium vapor lamps, are highly efficient and economical in
operation, and their use in protective lighting systems is encouraged.
However, it should be recognized that gas lights require a relight period
of approximately 3 minutes foll-owing any power interruption.
c. Facilities requiring protective lighting shall have an emergency lighting
capability of the type and size required in relation to the importance
of the facility, reliability of regular power sources, and feasibility
of using portable lighting equipment.
d. Where protective lighting at remote perimeters is not feasible,
protective force patrols and fixed stations may be equipped with night
vision devices, although it should be recognized that adequate perimeter
lighting provides better protection and deterrence to intrusion than do
such devices. Night vision devices shall not be used in lieu of
protective lighting at ingress and egress points.
e. Adequate illumination shall be provided to detect intruders, reveal
unauthorized persons, and, at pedestrian and vehicular entrances, to
permit examination of credentials and vehicles.
f. Light glare shall be kept to a minimum in those situations where it
would impede effective operations of protective force personnel, inter
fere with rail, highway, or navigable water traffic, or be objectionable
to occupants of adjacent properties.
g. Light sources on perimeters shall be so located that illumination is
directed, whenever possible, outward and with relative darkness exist
ing along patrol routes and at fixed posts other than pedestrian and
vehicular entrances.

CHAPTER VI
PHYSICAL PROTECTION OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL
Section 51
1. BASIC CONSIDERATIONS.
a. This chapter applies to all special nuclear material which
is in the possession of Departmental Elements or Departmental
contractors, subcontractors, or consultants, and which is not
subject to license by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
VI-1
b. Physical protection afforded to Departmental SNM in the civilian
reactor program shall be comparable in effectiveness to that
required by NRC for its SNM licensees.
c. The standards, procedures, and requirements of this chapter are
minimum requirements. In establishing physical protection systems
within each category of SNM, application of this chapter should
consider the relative attractiveness of characteristics such as
ease of accessibility and concealment, portability, chemical
purity, isotopic purity, radioactivity, and chemical and physical
form.
ct. Specific hostile actions to be protected against involving SNM
include:
(1) Theft of SNM, i.e., unauthorized removal from a material
access area, protected area, or from an SNM shipment.
(2) Diversion of SNM, i.e., unauthorized placement of SNM within
a material access area or protected area.
(3) Sabotage of an SNM facility or shipment which would result in
unacceptable impact on programs or unacceptable impact on the
public health and safety.
e. Based on paragraph ld above, consideration must be given to exclusion
containment, and neutralization strategies for the range of hostile
activities.
f. Controls shall be established to protect against unauthorized access
to or removal of SNM.
g. Access to SNM shall be limited to persons who possess appropriate
access authorization, certification, or verification, and who
require such access in the performance of their official duties.
h. The number of persons provided such access shall be kept to an
absolute minimum consistent with efficient execution of authorized
operations, and with the surveillance requirements of this Order.
VI - 2 DOE 5632.4
11-4-85
2. SPECIAL CONDITIONS. DOE 5630.2 provides a Category IA and IB; this Order
provides a Category IIIA & IIIB. Reconciliation of these facts, particu
larly as it relates to accumulation of SNM (rollup) will be provided in
future guidance from the Office of Safeguards and Security. Under ce rtain
conditions, the levels of physical protection required by this Order may
be reduced. When planning and implementing a physical protect i on system
with respect to special conditions, consideration must be given to
prevention of theft, diversion, and sabotage.
a. When considering prevention of theft or diversion, the following
special conditions may allow for a reduct i on in levels of phys i cal
protection:
(1) The SNM is not readily separable from other radioactive material,
and the combination of the SNM and other radioactive material
delivers an external radiation dose of approximately 100 rems
per hou r or more at 1 meter from any accessihle surface without
intervening shielding material.
(2) The SNM is contai ned in material that has been declared as waste.
(3) The SNM is in a chemical, isotopic, or physical form or is within
isol ated in-process, or remote, inaccessible conta i nment which
provides physical protection that is comparable to the protection
required by this Order.
b. When considering prevention of sabotage, however, if the severity of
the risk and consequences are deemed unacceptable, the above condit i ons
may not provide adequate protection for the prevention of unauthorized
access to and seizure of SNM or an SNM facility for purposes of sabotage.
Special condit i ons for reducing protection levels with respect to
preventing sabotage include the following:
Section 52
(1) Geographic isolation which would mitigate adverse programmat i c, or
health and safety impacts of an act of sabotage.
(2) Natural or manmade containment which provides adequate physical
barri ers to unautho ri zed access or prevents the di spersal of SNM.
(3) Other special considerations which would serve to mitigate the
potential for, or consequences of, sabotage (to be evaluated
on a case- by-case basis).
c. Where the foregoing conditions exist, they should be specifically
and clearly described in the site-specifi c safeguards and security
plan t o demonst rate a logical basis for the physical protection
system prov ided. When material is to be shipped, i t shal l be the
responsibili ty of the shipper to determine if any of these conditions
exi st . At certain facilities, a l evel of physical protection
exceeding that specifi ed herein may be necessary in order to assure
a satisfactory level of protection.
DOE 5632.4
11-4-85
3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
VI-3

SNM facility approval, based upon a review and acceptance of the
safeguards and security plan and an onsite survey by the responsible
operations office, has been granted.
b. Continual vigilance shall be maintained for procedural violations
or practices inconsistent with physical protection measures afforded
SNM.
c. Any unauthorized attempts, suspected attempts, or actual removals
of special nuclear material from a security interest shall be
reported immediately to the responsible safeguards and security
office.

Transportation Safeguards Division couriers with pilot(s) and
other crew members possessing "Q" access authorization. The
cargo, when in their custody, shall be under the direct observa
tion of the couriers during all land movements and loading and
unloading operations.
Section 54
b. There shall be a detailed inspection/search of the transport vehicle
prior to loading and shipment to assure that sabotage devices that
could facilitate theft of the SNM have not been implanted or that
sabotage has not been initiated, and that unauthorized persons
are not aboard.
c. Written procedures approved by the responsible operations office
shall be followed by courier personnel responsible for the shipment
of SNM.
d. DOE F 1540.2, ''Courier Receipt Book,'' or equivalent shall be
executed at all points at which the SNM in transit changes custody.
e. Shipments shall be scheduled in irregular patterns and preplanned
to avoid areas or routes of high risk and areas of natural disaster
or civil disorders, such as strikes or riots.
f. Couriers shall maintain vigilance for the presence of conditions
or situations which might threaten the security of the shipment,
take such action as circumstances might require to avoid interference
with continuous safe secure passage of the cargo vehicle, provide
assistance to or summon aid for the crew of the cargo vehicle in
VI-6 DOE 5632.4
11-4-85
case of emergency, check seals or locks at each stop where time
permits, and observe the cargo vehicle and adjacent areas during stops
or layovers.
g. In an emergency where SNM is transferred from one vehicle to another
outside the protected areas, the Departmental courier accompanying the
shipment shall keep the shipment under surveillance by observing the
opening of the cargo compartment of the original vehicle and all phases
of the transfer, assuring that all the material is included in the
second vehicle, and checking locks and seals.
h. When SNM is transferred from storage to a vehicle or vice-versa, at
least two security inspectors or couriers shall keep the shipment under
surveillance. At least two couriers shall assure that the shipment is
complete by checking locks, seals, and documentation, and by witnessing
the opening or closing, as appropriate, of the cargo compartment.
i. All persons who have access to the cargo, or control over it, including
drivers, loaders, and handlers must possess a "Q'' access authorization
or an ''L," ''S," or TS'' access authorization and be under the surveillance
of a "Q"-cleared employee.
j. A multilevel continuous sampling audit of all recurring shipments of
significant quantities of special nuclear materials under the jurisdic
tion of the Albuquerque Operations Office (those occurring more than five
times a year) shall be made by the Albuquerque Operations Office to
assure compliance with established security standards and procedures.
Multilevel continuous sampling as applicable to this requirement is
described in the "DOD Inspection and Quality Control Handbook, H-1O6."
The sampling plan in H-1O6 describes three levels of sampling (f = 1/3,
1/9, 1/27) and the criteria for changing sampling levels. During the
initial period of implementing this survey concept, audits shall be
performed at frequency level 2 (l/9) until the Manager, Albuquerque
Operations Office, determines that a high performance level has been
achieved in keeping with the sampling plan; then audits will occur at
frequency level 3 (l/27). Should a major discrepancy be found at the
latter audit rate, the frequency of audits will return again to level 2
until a high level performance is again achieved. The Manager,
Albuquerque Operations Office, will direct an increase in audit frequency
for any portion of the system whenever, in his judgment, changes in per
sonnel, equipment, risk, or procedures so indicate. The Albuquerque
Operations Office shall require approval of the Assistant Secretary for
Defense Programs, or his designee, for any deviation from this sampling
plan. Audit reports requiring change of frequency due to detection of
a major discrepancy shall be forwarderl to the designees. Significant
violations of procedures by couriers shall be reported immediately to
the Manager, Albuquerque Operations Office, and after evaluation to
DP-34.
