SCOPE. The provisions of this Order apply to all Departmental Elements and
contractors performing work for the Department as provided by law and/or
contract and implemented by the appropriate contracting officer.
BACKGROUND. DOE shall assure that all facilities eligible to receive,
process, reproduce, store, transmit, or handle classified matter or special
nuclear material (SNM) have been granted facility approval prior to permitting
access to such matter or material.
POLICY. DOE special nuclear materials (SNM) and classified interests shall
not be permitted on premises occupied by DOE and/or its contractors,
subcontractors, consultants, or other organizations performing work for the
DOE until facility approval is granted. Activities involving the possession,
use, and production of nuclear materials and classified matter shall be
afforded appropriate levels of protection to prevent unacceptable adverse
impact to national security or the health and safety of the public.
CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS. DOE’s policy for approving facilities and conducting
surveys to ensure satisfactory safeguards and security of DOE interests apply
equally to all Departmental Elements, contractors, subcontractors and
consultants. However, this policy is implemented at a wide range of
facilities, and site- and program-specific characteristics must be considered
to assure that Departmental safeguards and security interests are provided
appropriate and cost-effective protection. In order to allow for effective
implementation of Departmental policy on a site-specific or program-specific
basis, an exception mechanism is provided that allow facility approval and
survey programs to be tailored to address these specific requirements. The
exception procedures are outlined in DOE 5630.11, SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY
PROGRAM.

Information and requirements regarding cover operations are no longer
provided in this Order. The nature of these sensitive classified interests
require specialized instructions which shall be provided by the Director of
Safeguards and Security (SA-1O) on an as needed basis.
Initial facility approval shall be based upon a determination that
satisfactory safeguards and security can be afforded DOE interests. Such
determination shall be based upon initial and periodic onsite nuclear
materials and/or security surveys conducted by DOE safeguards and security
personnel, and upon written security and material control and accountability
plans approved by the cognizant field element or, in the case of
Headquarters, by SA-10.
Section 2
DOE will determine whether, and to what extent, any contractors performing
or proposing to perform work which will involve access to classified
information or significant quantities of SNM (as defined in Title 10 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 710), are foreign owned, controlled, or
influenced. In addition, DOE shall determine on a case-by-case basis
whether any degree of foreign ownership, control, or influence might
constitute a basis for the compromise of classified information,
unauthorized access to or use of SNM, or other related adverse impact on the
national security. To assist in these determinations, DOE will use informa-
tion provided by the contractor in accordance with Department of Energy
Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) 952.204-73, “Foreign Ownership, Control, or
Influence Over Contractor (Representation).” The contractor shall also
execute a certificate which indicates that the information, provided in
accordance with the DEAR clause identified above, is accurate, complete, and
correct.
Onsite nuclear materials and/or security surveys shall be conducted
initially and periodically thereafter, it intervals specified in this Order,
to ensure satisfactory safeguards and security of DOE interests. Surveys of
each site for which a Master Safeguards and Security Agreement (MSSA) has
been written shall be conducted in such a manner as to be consistent with
MSSA requirements.

a. Purpose. To ensure that all facilities eligible to receive, process,
reproduce, store, transmit, use, or destroy SNM or classified matter
have been granted facility approval based upon a validated
satisfactory safeguards and security system prior to permitting
classified matter or classified and unclassified SNM on the premises.
The requirements for establishing facility approvals are outlined
below.
b. Accepting Existing DOE Facility Approval. The organization seeking to
establish an S&S activity shall check the Master Facility Register to
determine whether the location already has DOE facility approval. If
already approved, the responsible organization may accept the existing
DOE facility approval, provided: (1) the existing safeguards and
security program at the facility accommodates the new DOE activity;
and (2) the responsible organization determines that, on the basis of
the latest survey report, the existing safeguards and security program
is compatible with the level of the new activity. Additional
requirements shall be established and completed prior to the
initiation of the S&S activity when the existing safeguards and
security program cannot meet the requirements of the added DOE
activity. These additional requirements may include the conduct of
vulnerability analyses and validation exercises and shall be

Reporting Identification Symbol (RIS) for Nuclear Materials
Management and Safeguards System reporting.
For SNM, approval is based upon an initial security survey
and material control and accountability survey, both with a
satisfactory composite rating.
For classified information, approval is based on an initial
survey report, conducted by geographical survey office, with
a satisfactory composite rating.
For those security activities covered under facility MSSAs
which are to be protected in a graded fashion, the facility
shall have completed a vulnerability analyses of the proposed
security activity. The facility shall have this analysis
available for review during the survey.
The date of the nuclear materials and security survey and
site-specific security/material control and accountability
plan upon which the granting of facility approval is based
shall not be more than 12 months prior to the granting of
facility approval.

When the level of classified information is raised from
Confidential to Secret or Top Secret, or the category of SNM
holdings is raised from Category III to Category II or I,
facility approval at the higher level shall be based upon a
survey with a satisfactory composite rating.
In addition to the above requirements, facility approval for
access permitters is based on a review of the access
permittee’s written statement of its proce- dures for the
safeguarding of Restricted Data and for the security
education of its employees consistent with the requirements
of 10 CFR 1016, “Safeguarding of Restricted Data.”
Access authorizations shall be in place at the responsible
organization for persons included in a new activity.
Adequate classification guidance pertaining to the new
security activity will be available to assure protection of
the interest.
Accepting an Existing U.S. Government Agency Facility Approval
for Work at One of Its Contractors When a DOE Facility Approval
Does Not Exist.
(a) Work remains under the programmatic cognizance of DOE,
however, security survey and oversight is ceded to the other
U.S. Government agency. Whenever practicable, a DOE security
facility approval shall be established. However, accepting
another U.S. Government agency facility approval for work
under DOE cognizance may be considered when:
The activity is short-term or of minor significance to
the Department;
A security facility approval by another agency already
exists;
It is not economically prudent for the responsible or
another field element to complete the facility approval
and survey requirements; and
The activity does not involve SNM or access to Restricted
Data.

(b) Facility approval is based upon an existing U.S. Government
agency facility clearance at the Confidential or Secret
classification level and provided that:
The U.S. Government agency facility clearance encompasses
the DOE classified activity and the last survey or
inspection report is noted as satisfactory in those areas
which could affect the DOE interest.
The U.S. Government agency cognizant security office
furnishes to the responsible DOE security office copies
of its periodic inspection reports or periodic memoranda
covering the DOE classified activity, citing that a
satisfactory survey was conducted.
The U.S. Government agency cognizant security office
agrees that it will not cancel the facility clearance
without prior notification to the DOE security office
requesting security support.
All employees granted access to DOE classified
information have, as a minimum, U.S. Government security
clearances based on a National Agency check.
Requirements identified in paragraph 2c(2) (a) 1 through 4,
above, are documented in a letter or memorandum of
agreement between the DOE responsible security office and
the U.S. Government cognizant security office prior to
the establishment of a security activity.
(c) If the foregoing provisions cannot be met or when SNM or DOE
Top Secret, or Secret, or Confidential Restricted Data is
involved, facility approval is based upon the provisions of
paragraph 2c(1), page II-4.
(d) When an existing U.S. Government agency cleared facility also
has a DOE facility approval, the latter is used, when
practicable, instead of the other U.S. Government agency
facility clearances.
Section 15
d. Verification. Verification of capability of other U.S. Government
agencies and their contractors to protect classified information for
reference or use in work not under DOE cognizance is as follows:
(1) Approval to transmit classified information shall be based upon a
written assurance from the Government agency that DOE classified
matter in its possession or in the possession of its contractors,
subcontractors, or consultants will be afforded physical
protection and safeguards in accordance with Executive Order
10865, “Safeguarding Classified Information Within Industry,” as
amended, Executive Order 12356, “National Security Information,"

and its implementing Information Security Oversight Office
directive; and that the mandatory personnel clearance
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,
pertaining to access to Restricted Data, be met.
II-7
(2) When an agreement between DOE and another Government agency
specifically limits the dissemination of certain categories of
DOE classified information within that agency, e.g., Restricted
Data, the responsible organization shall request the agency, on
execution of the agreement, to furnish a statement of its
procedures to ensure such limitation.
e. Terminating Facility Approval.
(1) When a facility has completed its activities involving SNM or
classified matter, the responsible organization assures
destruction or return of matter or material returned to DOE
custody through a termination survey or by correspondence that
includes the following:
(a) Security termination statements;
(b) Written certification of nonpossession of classified matter
or SNM;
(c) Cancellation of personnel clearances or access authorizations
which are no longer needed;
(d) Discontinuance of physical security and material control and
accountability measures; and
(e) Preparation of a DOE F 5600.2 (see Attachment II-1),
canceling facility approval.
(2) A certificate of possession and periodic surveys are required if
the facility is authorized to retain classified matter after
termination of a contract agreement. The responsible
organization shall:
(a) Maintain appropriate documentation to support receipts of
destruction or certificates of nonpossession.
II-8 DOE 5634.1B
9-15-92
(b) Establish guidelines for terminating facility approval and
coordinating termination activities with appropriate
contracting, program, security, and safeguards organizations.
3. FACILITY DATA AND APPROVAL RECORD.
a.
b.
c.
Purpose. To register pertinent facility information on the Master
Facility Register, which must be in agreement. Prompt submission of
Facility Data and Approval Records and accuracy of reported
information are essential to the continued integrity of the system.
Submission of the Facility Data and Approval Record A
DOE F 5600.2, “Facility Data and Approval Record,” is submitted to
SA-10 by the responsible organization when:
(1) Granting initial facility approval;
(2) Accepting existing facility approval for an additional
activity(ies);
(3) There is a significant change in a registered facility or
activity within a facility (e.g., a change in name, address,
facility importance rating, responsible organization, classified
mailing address, contract or purchase order number,
classification, Restricted Data authorization, or nature or scope
of work); -
(4) Facility approval for a registered

Attachment to the Facility Data and Approval Record. When submitting
DOE F 5600.2, attach a copy of the following:
(1) Initial survey reports to the facility data and approval record
granting facility approval;
(2) Report of survey in memorandum form and pertinent correspondence,
when applicable, to the facility data and approval record
granting facility approval; and
(3) Termination survey report, if conducted, to the Facility Data and
Approval Record terminating facility approval.
DOE 5634.1B II-9 (and II-10)
9-15-92
d. Nonsubmission of a Facility Data and Approval Record. Nonsubmission
of a Facility Data and Approval Record increases the risk that an
activity will not be encompassed by the normal safeguards and security
administration expected at a cleared facility and may be missed during
the normal oversight provided by a periodic or termination survey.
However, after appropriate consideration, a Facility Data and Approval
Record need not be submitted for the following:
(1) An organization holding a contract with a facility executes a
purchase order or contract amendment for additional work or
material similar to that registered under the contract, unless
such purchase order or amendment requires substantial changes in
existing security or nuclear material control and accountability
programs.
(2) An invitation to bid tendered by a field element is consonant
with the activity(ies) previously registered by that field
element.
e. Distribution. The organization preparing the Facil
Approval Record shall forward the original and two

GENERAL SURVEY REQUIREMENTS
1. PURPOSE. To provide the basis for evaluating the adequacy and
effectiveness of safeguards and security programs and the protection
afforded DOE safeguards and security activities.
2. TYPES OF SURVEYS.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Initial Survey. An onsite examination of a facility prior to granting
facility approval.
Periodic Survey. An onsite examination of a facility conducted at
scheduled intervals.
Special Survey. An onsite examination of a facility conducted for a
specific purpose.
Termination Survey. An onsite examination of a facility conducted
when the safeguards and security activities are removed from a
facility or the contractor is changed for a facility, or to assure
proper disposition of nuclear material and closeout of records.
Shipment Survey. An examination of protection afforded security
interests during shipment.
3. COVERAGE.
a.
b.
c.
Initial and Periodic Surveys cover the protection afforded DOE
safeguards and security interests within a facility, including an
evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of material control and
accountability (MC&A) and security programs and a thorough examination
of policies and procedures to ensure compliance/ performance with
appropriate safeguards and security directives and agreements. All
facilities are subject to the compliance and performance segments of
surveys, as described in Chapters IV and V.
Special Surveys evaluate the following:
(1) Existing protection for additional activities;
(2) Need for changes in material control and accountability and
security procedures and measures due to changing conditions; and
Section 17
(3) New material control and accountability and security measures
taken as a result of findings identified under a previous
survey(s).
Germination Surveys evaluate actions taken to ensure termination of
safeguards and security interests, execution of an appropriate
III-2 DOE 5634.1B
9-15-92
security termination statement, and submission of a certificate of
possession or nonpossession, as appropriate. Termination of facility
approvals for Class “A” facilities, facilities possessing classified
material, and/or SNM, require an onsite termination survey. For other
facilities, termination may be by survey or correspondence.
d. Shipment Surveys provide a basis for evaluating the adequacy of
protection afforded DOE classified matter or SNM during shipment.
Shipments which move between sites by rail, truck, air, or ship are
subject to survey based on an approved security plan unless the
shipment is made via a commercial carrier(s) licensed by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC). Movements of SNM between security areas
at the same site shall be surveyed during the security survey of the
site protection system. Each type of security shipment shall be
surveyed initially and at least once every 12 months thereafter by the
organization having administrative jurisdiction over the shipment.
Shipment survey reports shall provide sufficient detail to enable a
proper evaluation of the report and its findings.
4. PRE-SURVEY PLANNING AND SCHEDULING. Certain activities should be
accomplished prior to the conduct of a security or nuclear materials
survey. These are normally done by the surveying organization, the
responsible organization (if different from the surveying), the facility
being surveyed, and SA-10. The following activities are necessary:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Determine the extent of, and establish procedures for, reviewing
exceptions and other program departures.
Review files for relevant information, issues, and topics to include
in the survey. Such files include those pertaining to: previous
surveys, security and MC&A plans, exceptions, and correspondence.
Define the scope of the survey by identifying the program areas to be
inspected, the methodology, and the resources to be used. The scope
should allow for review of areas of concern that may arise during the
survey process.
Coordinate all planned survey activities in advance with parties
involved in advance and establish communications channels. Such
coordination should specifically include an agreed participation in a
pre-survey briefing.
Schedule the survey to allow prioritization of and changes to survey
coverage of facilities.
DOE 5634.1B III-3

5. COORDINATION OF NUCLEAR MATERI LS AND SECURITA Y SURVEYS.
a. Security and nuclear materials surveys may be conducted simultaneously
or separately. When performed separately, the surveying organization
shall prepare an agreement outlining the responsibility of each survey
that include the following:
(1) Assessing system performance against applicable threats;
(2) Evaluating different components of the safeguards and security
system; and
(3) Rating items on Headquarters-approved survey report forms (DOE
F 5634,2, ‘Safeguards and Security Survey Report’ (see Attachment
III-1)).
b. When nuclear materials and security surveys are conducted separately
at Class “A” and “B” facilities, they should be performed within a
2-month period.
6. SURVEY DOCUMENTATION AND REPORTS.
Section 18
a. The survey report shall describe the state of the safeguards and
security program. The report shall reflect the ratings on
Headquarters-approved survey report forms as well as the performance
ratings based upon exercises, where appropriate. As locally
determined, work papers shall support the contents of the survey
report.
b. The narrative portion of the survey report shall outline strengths and
weaknesses, correlate the results from the compliance and performance
(where required) survey segments, and discuss both compliance and
performance ratings. The report shall explain in detail the factors
responsible for the assignment of a less than satisfactory rating.
c. Findings shall be identified and correlated with items on the survey
report forms approved by SA-10. The terms “findings” and
“suggestions” may be used in the survey report. The term “finding”
shall be used to refer to deficiencies, or concerns reached during the
survey. The term “suggestion” may be used to refer to non-mandatory
potential program enhancements for observations cited in the survey
report.
d. Survey results shall be validated by discussion, observations, or
exercises during the survey process to ensure accuracy.
e. As determined locally, survey work papers pertaining
fully documented in the survey report should be retai
minimum, until the next survey is completed.
f. Survey observations of conditions in facility operati

public shall be reported expeditiously to management and the
responsible organization’s environmental, safety, and health
organization for follow-up action.
g. Survey reports for Class “PP” facilities and terminations may be in
memoranda form.
h. Findings shall be documented and monitored until resolved. Quarterly
reporting on unresolved findings shall be made by the responsible
organization to the cognizant Secretarial Officer(s) and SA-10. The
first quarterly report shall be issued not later than 90 days after
receiving written corrective action information from the surveyed
facility.
7. DISTRIBUTION.
a. Within 60 working days after the completion of the survey, the
surveying organization(s) shall forward one copy of each survey report
to the responsible organization, one copy to SA-10, copies to the
appropriate Secretarial Officer(s), and one copy to the surveyed
organization, as determined locally.
b. Heads of Field Elements or SA-10 (for Headquarters) may make internal
distribution of survey reports, as appropriate.

SECURITY SURVEYS
1. PURPOSE. To assure that facilities maintain effective safeguards and
security programs by requiring surveys which provide monitoring and
evaluation.
2. EXEMPTIONS . Each field element and SA-10 shall conduct surveys of the
facilities within its assigned geographic area, except in cases when a
responsible field element may elect to perform this function itself.
In the latter case, the responsible field element shall coordinate its
decision with the field element having geographic responsibility.
(Attachment IV-1 outlines geographic responsibilities for security
surveys.)
Section 19
a. The Pittsburgh Naval Reactors Office, Schenectady Naval Reactors
Office, and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Project Office are exempt
from conducting security surveys for other field elements within their
immediate geographic areas. However, this exemption is not all
inclusive since travel restrictions based on budget restraints may
dictate that field elements request these organizations to conduct the
surveys for them. In such cases, mutually acceptable agreements are
encouraged.
b. When the volume of survey work assigned by geographical areas exceeds
the ability of the surveying organization to absorb the work, and the
problem cannot be resolved between affected DOE Field Offices, SA-10
shall be notified. The affected surveying organization shall provide
SA-10 with a current list of facilities/interests within its assigned
geographical area, survey delay times, survey schedules, staffing
status, and other pertinent information. If the proposed delays are
not satisfactory, SA-10 will coordinate a resolution with the affected

essence, the surveying organization shall:
(1) Advise the responsible organization by telephone or teletype of
the results of the survey;
(2) Confirm this action by memorandum; and/or
(3) Submit. a formal survey report, as appropriate.
The surveying organization is not required to send a copy of a survey
report to a responsible organization when the only security activity
at the facility involves an individual S&S activity (e.g., consultant,
responsible reviewer, or a person with a personal service contract).
In this case, the surveying organization should advise the responsible
organization by memorandum that the S&S activity has been included in
the survey report, the date of survey, composite survey rating, and
findings, if applicable.

CHAPTER V
NUCLEAR MATERIALS SURVEYS
1. PURPOSE. To assure that facilities are maintaining effective safeguards
and security programs. This Order requires and describes the conduct of
surveys which provide such monitoring and evaluation.
2. FREQUENCY.
a. Nuclear materials surveys of each license-exempt (as defined in
10 CFR 50) contractor and Government-operated facility shall be
performed annually for Category I, II, and III materials, and
biennially for Category IV nuclear materials, unless:
(1) The total value of the nuclear materials inventory at any time
does not exceed $150,000 and the value of nuclear material
receipts for any 12-month period is less than $500,000;
(2) The total inventory consists entirely of source material, less
than 10 tons of heavy water, less than 350 grams of SNM, or any
combination of these; or
b. Surveys of contractor facilities meeting the criteria in paragraphs
2a(1) and (2), above, shall be conducted at the discretion of the DOE
Field Office Manager. Definitions of Categories I, II, III and IV are
contained in DOE 5633.3.
3. SURVEY REPORT CONTENT. Initial and periodic nuclear materials survey
reports consist of a narrative section reflecting the results of both the
compliance and performance segments of the survey. For those facilities
holding Category II and larger quantities of SNM, an approved survey
report form, as provided by Attachment III-1, shall be utilized. Locally
developed survey forms may be used to supplement the approved survey
report form.
a. A report on the results of a survey of nuclear materials control and
accountability should include such items as:
(1) A statement of the survey scope and period of coverage;
(2) A statement regarding the facility’s function and scope of
operations related to nuclear materials;
(3) An assessment of the effectiveness of management (if appropriate)
relative to nuclear material control and DOE accountability
(MC&A) program planning and review, and the safeguards control
exercised by the facility;
V-2 DOE 5634.1B
9-15-92
(4) Corrective actions on findings, including status of prior,
unresolved findings; and
(5) Discussion of major points which had, or might have, a
significant effect on inventory procedures and safeguards control
at the facility.
b. The nuclear materials survey report shall include results from:
(1) Assessing the ability of the safeguards system to detect and
respond to theft and/or diversion of nuclear materials;
(2) Reviewing and evaluating:
(a) Practices and procedures for the inventory of nuclear
materials and the records system reconciliation;
(b) Measurements and statistical programs, system;
(c) Site’s nuclear materials accounting information system;
(d) Nuclear material control practices and procedures;
(e) Internal control system; and
(f) Program planning and procedures;
(3) Reviewing the training and qualification records of material
balance area custodians, material handlers, and accountability
clerks responsible for nuclear material data generation and/or
transmission; and
(4) Reviewing the facility’s vulnerability assessment program and
material control and accountability internal control system.
Section 22
c. In addition to the requirements in paragraphs 3a and b, above, during
periodic nuclear material surveys, DOE personnel shall, as appropriate
for the type and quantity of nuclear material in the inventory:
(1) Ascertain facility compliance with written procedures and
objectives of DOE directives on control and accountability of
nuclear materials and the material control and accountability
plan;
(2) Review and evaluate the cause, magnitude, reasonableness, and
disposition of accidental losses, normal operational
losses/measured discards, approved write-offs, inventory
differences, and shipper/receiver differences;
(3) Audit the nuclear material records and reports to verify the
accuracy of the facility’s material status reports and subsidiary
DOE 5634.1B
9-15-92
V-3
(4)
records; and
Observe inventory procedures and practices and control the
independent tests of the inventory to confirm the facility’s
statement of the quantity of material on hand. DOE Field Offices
may develop and use statistically based sampling plans
appropriate for their site-specific needs to establish that
stated nuclear material quantities are accurate. Inventory
testing shall be based on a graded safeguards concept, and
documentation shall be maintained to support the survey inventory
testing criteria, sampling plans, test results, and conclusions.
For those populations that do not conform to conventional
weighing and sampling methods (or non-destructive assay
analyses), confirmation of the con- tained nuclear materials
shall be consistent with accepted estimation techniques, whether
independently performed or observed by survey personnel.
Inventory exemptions for highly radioactive materials are
contained in DOE 5633.3.
d. A periodic survey report need not contain a complete narrative
description of each procedure and element of the Material Control and
Accountability program unless significant changes have occurred or 5
years have elapsed since the last description. The phrases “no
change” or “as previously reported” may be used. However, the new
report shall identify the survey report which provides the latest
description of the unchanged item.
e. Within 60 working days after completion of the survey, the surveying
organization shall forward one copy of each survey report to SA-10,
copies to the Secretarial Officer(s) as directed, and one copy to the
surveyed organization as determined locally. When a special nuclear
materials survey is a part of the basis for granting facility approval
for a new or expanded safeguards and security activity involving SNM,
or for continuing facility approval for an existing activity where SNM
is present, and time is of the essence, the surveying organization
shall comply with the requirements of Chapter
paragraphs 4d(1), (2), and (3).
4. TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS. Team personnel for
shall possess qualifications and training suffic

CHAPTER VI
SURVEY RATINGS AND FOLLOW-UP ACTIONS
RATING SYSTEM. Permissible composite nuclear materials or security survey
ratings are SATISFACTORY, MARGINALLY SATISFACTORY, and UNSATISFACTORY.
The following composite survey ratings shall reflect a balance of
performance and compliance results as determined by the surveying
organization.
a.
b.
c.
Satisfactory. The safeguards and security element being evaluated
meets identified protection needs or provides plausible assurance that
those protection needs will be met should they arise.
Marginally Satisfactory. The safeguards and security element being
evaluated only partially meets identified protection needs or provides
questionable assurance that those protection needs will be met should
they arise.
Unsatisfactory. The safeguards and security element being evaluated
does not meet identified protection needs or does not provide adequate
assurance that those protection needs will be met should they arise.
IDENTIFIED PROTECTION NEEDS Identified protection needs are those
defined by DOE Orders as modified by approved MSSAs, facility safeguards
and security plans, approved safeguards and security upgrades, and
documented and approved exceptions to DOE requirements. These modifiers
specify site-specific considerations and tailor the safeguards and
security program to the local mission and operating environment. They
shall be comprehensive and supportable relative to threat and safeguards
and security interests (i.e., targets).
USE OF THE “MARGINALLY SATISFACTORY” RATING. A facility shall not be
assigned a survey rating of Marginally Satisfactory for consecutive survey
periods unless the following conditions apply:
a. The previous survey which resulted in a composite survey rating of
Marginally Satisfactory identified different deficiencies and reasons
for the rating.
b. The deficiencies and reasons which were the basis for the previous
Marginally Satisfactory composite survey rating were related to the
completion of a major line-item construction project. In that case,
acceptable interim measures must have been implemented and physically
verified pending completion of the construction. These interim
measures shall be documented in the survey report.
USE OF UNSATISFACTORYY RATING. If either of the conditions cited in
paragraphs 3a or b, above, are not met, an Unsatisfactory rating shall be
assigned.
4.
VI-2 DOE 5634.1B
9-15-92
5. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS AND SURVEY RATINGS. A composite nuclear materials
and/or security survey rating which must be based on conditions existing
when the rating was assigned. Shall be stated in the survey report,
ratings shall not be based upon future corrective actions. If correc-
tive actions have been taken in the interval between the performance of
the onsite survey and the assignment of the composite survey rating, the
final rating should reflect these actions.
6. DEFICIENCIES IN DOCUMENTATION. A facility’s failure to comply with
procedural documentation requirements, of and by itself, shall not
normally be the basis for a reduction in a composite rating. Ratings of
less than Satisfactory in any area shall be based on verified weaknesses
in the safeguards and security system or deficiencies in performance in an
operational area.
7. COMPLIANCE. The compliance segment rating of a facility reflects the
judgments of the surveying organization as to the assurance with which the
facility’s safeguards and security system protects the DOE interests
located at that facility as measured against related DOE directives (see
page V-4, paragraph 5).
Section 24
8. PERFORMANCE. The rating for the set of exercises, system studies, and
technical evaluations, constituting the performance segment of the survey,
shall be based on an evaluation of the degree to which the elements of the
safeguards or security system meet protection objectives.
9. SURVEY FOLLOW-UP AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS.
a.
b.
c.
When a nuclear materials and/or security survey report contains
findings, the surveyed organization shall submit a response
identifying corrective action(s) for each finding to the responsible
and surveying organizations not later than 30 days after receiving the
survey report.
When a survey report indicates a composite rating of Satisfactory and
contains findings requiring corrective action, the responsible
organization shall provide to SA-10, the appropriate Secretarial
Officers, and the surveying organization (if appropriate), a quarterly
status report of corrective actions. Notification shall be by
memorandum and shall include the identification of the facility, a
description of the deficiency, and a description of corrective actions
taken to date or planned (with associated milestone dates).
When a survey report has a composite rating of Marginally
Satisfactory, the responsible organization shall notify the Director,
SA-10, the surveying organization (if appropriate), and the applicable
DOE Field Office and Secretarial Officer(s) within 15 working days
after completion of the survey of interim corrective actions taken, or
to be taken, to correct identified risks or vulnerabilities. If
interim corrective actions are instituted, the surveying organization
shall physically verify them for adequacy. If the surveying
DOE 5634.1B
9-15-92
organization differs from
organization shall promptly
VI-3 (and VI-4)
the responsible organization, the surveying
notify the responsible organization of the
rating. The responsible organization shall then take-appropriate
corrective and notification actions outlined above or authorize the
surveying organization to take those actions. If the surveying
organizaiton is unable to contact the responsible organization and a
serious threat exists or is imminent, the surveying organization shall
take action to protect the safeguards and security interest(s) until
the responsible organization is notified. Subsequent action shall be
taken on the basis of agreement between the two organizations.
d. When a survey report has a composite rating of Unsatisfactory, and the
rating is indicative of a significant vulnerability, such as
unacceptable risk in the area of SNM theft, radiological or industrial
sabotage or espionage, the DOE Field Office Manager shall immediately,
in coordination with the cognizant Program Secretarial Officer or as
soon as possible, but not later than within 24 hours: (1) take action
to shut down/suspend operation of the facility or activity, pending
remedial action; or (2) provide the rationale for continuing this
critical operation to the cognizant Secretarial Officer and SA-10 and
identify those immediate interim corrective actions being undertaken
to mitigate identified risks or vulnerabilities. For all other
Unsatisfactory ratings, the DOE Field Office Manager of the
responsible organization shall notify the cognizant Secretarial
Officer and SA-10 within 15 working days of interim corrective actions
taken, or to be taken, to correct identified risks or vulnerabilities.
Section 25
e. With either a Marginally Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory composite
rating is assigned, the responsible office shall provide to SA-10 and
the applicable DOE Field Office and Secretarial Officer(s) quarterly
status reports on completed or planned corrective actions (with
associated milestone dates) until all have been completed. When the
responsible organization determines that the composite survey rating
should be upgraded to Satisfactory, the surveying organization shall
physically verify the completion and adequacy of corrective actions
for those deficiencies which contributed to the Marginally
Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory composite rating. The responsible
organization shall then notify the Director, SA-10, and the cognizant
Secretarial Officer(s) that the rating should be upgraded.
f. A finding associated with a significant vulnerability shall not be
considered closed until associated corrective action has been
completed and SA-10 and the Secretarial Officer(s) are notified. A
commitment by the facility to institute corrective action does not
constitute completion of that corrective action.
