PHYSICAL PROTECTION
1. PURPOSE. This NNSA Policy implements the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) security requirements and restrictions of the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) for the physical protection of interests ranging from facilities, buildings,
Government property, and employees to national security interests such as classified
information, special nuclear material (SNM), and nuclear weapons. A graded approach
for the protection of the lowest level of government property and layered to the most
critical is described in this NNSA Policy. All physical protection programs, practices,
and procedures developed within NNSA must be consistent with and incorporate the
requirements of this NNSA Policy along with all national requirements (Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, Executive Orders, United States Code [U.S.C.], Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), National Industrial Security Program, etc.).
2. BACKGROUND. This NNSA Policy (NAP) was developed using DOE M 470.4-2A,
Physical Protection Manual, dated 7-23-09, as a baseline and is tailored to meet the
programmatic needs of the NNSA. This NNSA Policy incorporates national-level
requirements and most requirements as set by the Department. When establishing new
requirements or deleting requirements, NNSA carefully measured the value of the
requirements and perceived or actual threat to the protection and control of classified
matter based on a risk management approach using DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security
Protection (GSP) Policy, dated 8-12-08, and the costs of implementation. Defense
Nuclear Security (DNS) worked closely with the DOE Office of Health, Safety, and
Security (DOE/HSS) in developing this NAP. DNS will continue to work closely with
the Departmental security policy office, as well as with Departmental inspection and
oversight offices, in managing the NNSA security policy program. Some specific
changes as outlined in this NNSA Policy include:
a. The term vault-type room (VTR) was replaced with the National Industrial
Security Program Operating Manual term of closed areas (CAs). This change is
due to operational necessity because it may be necessary to construct CAs for
storage if General Services Administration (GSA)-approved containers or vaults
are deemed unsuitable or impractical. The use of CAs within NNSA provides a
level of security consistent with national standards and allows increased flexibility
in storage of classified matter.
b. In coordination with the NNSA Information Security NAP, classified matter-in-
use or “day-lock” procedures were restored into this NNSA Policy and are an
acceptable, cost-effective way of protecting classified information in use during
working hours. Day-lock benefits from layers of access control and security at
NNSA sites and is a configuration virtually unpredictable for an adversary to
exploit. Day-lock is a term used for classified matter-in-use during working
hours and should not be confused with storage of classified matter. Day-lock
requirements are contained in the NNSA Information Security NAP.
Section 2
c. Prescriptive barrier design requirements were removed. By removing the
elaborate details, barriers can serve their primary function as an area of
Page ii NAP-70.2
07-02-10
Change 1: 07-20-11
demarcation. The cognizant security authority (CSA) can now determine if a
brick wall or other type of fencing meets the protection requirements necessary.
d. Intrusion detection system (IDS) alarm coverage is allowed for engineered
openings. By clearly defining an engineered opening and allowing for IDS
protection, difficult construction issues can be averted without seeking deviations
or installing volumetric alarms.
e. Changes were made to the requirements for locks and keys. Level IV keys were
deleted from this NNSA Policy because they are not considered security keys
and the requirements for Level III keys were modified.
f. The chapter on Safeguards and Security Alarm Management and Control
Systems (SAMACS) was eliminated from this NNSA Policy. NNSA
recommends that SAMACS be updated and incorporated as a technical standard,
not a policy document. SAMACS outlined the requirements used in the
protection of Category I and II quantities of SNM facilities installed and
operational after January 1, 2008. These requirements, although outdated, still
reside in DOE M 470.4-2A, where they can be referenced when necessary.
3. CANCELLATIONS.
a. This NNSA Policy does not cancel any NNSA-issued policy. It does, however,
replace DOE M 470.4-2A, and its successors, for application to the NNSA’s Physical
Protection Program.
b. Cancellation of a Departmental policy (Policy, Order, Manual, or Notice) or
NNSA policy does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual
obligation to comply with the policy. Canceled policies that are incorporated by
reference in a contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to delete the
references to the requirements in the canceled policies.
4. APPLICABILITY.
a. All NNSA Elements. Except for the exclusion in paragraph 4d, this NNSA
Policy applies to all NNSA elements. This NNSA Policy automatically applies
to NNSA elements created after it is issued.
b. NNSA Federal Employees. Except for the exclusion in paragraph 4d, this NNSA
Policy applies to all NNSA Federal employees. All requirements identified in this
NNSA Policy as solely a Federal function are individually identified.
c. NNSA Contractors. Except for the exclusions in paragraph 4d, this NNSA Policy
sets forth requirements that will apply to site/facility management contracts.
(1) This NNSA Policy must be included in the site/facility management
contracts that involve classified matter or nuclear materials and contain
NAP-70.2 Page iii
07-02-10
DOE Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clause 952.204-2, Security
Requirements.
(a) NNSA elements must notify contracting officers of affected
site/facility management contracts to incorporate this NNSA
Policy into those contracts.
(b) Once notified, contracting officers are responsible for
incorporating this NNSA Policy into the affected contracts via the
laws, regulations, and DOE directives clause of the contracts.
(c) Requirements identified as solely a Federal function will not be
incorporated into contracts.
Section 3
(2) A violation of the provisions of this NNSA Policy relating to the
safeguarding or security of Restricted Data or other classified information
may result in a civil penalty pursuant to subsection a. of section 234B of
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2282b). The procedures for
the assessment of civil penalties are set forth in 10 CFR 824, Procedural
Rules for the Assessment of Civil Penalties for Classified Information
Security Violations.
(3) As stated in DEAR clause 970.5204-2, Laws, Regulations, and DOE
Directives, regardless of the performer of the work, site/facility
contractors that have this NNSA Policy incorporated into their contracts
are responsible for compliance with this NNSA Policy. Affected
site/facility management contractors are responsible for flowing down the
requirements of this NNSA Policy to subcontracts at any tier to the extent
necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements. In doing so,
contractors must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down
requirements to subcontracts. That is, contractors must both ensure that
they and their subcontractors comply with the requirements of this NNSA
Policy and only incur costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in
the conduct of competitive business.
(4) This NNSA Policy does not automatically apply to other than site/facility
management contracts. Application of any of the requirements of this
NNSA Policy to other than site/facility management contracts will be
communicated as follows:
(a) Heads of Field Elements and Headquarters NNSA Elements.
Review procurement requests for new non-site/facility
management contracts that involve classified matter or nuclear
materials and contain DEAR clause 952.204-2, Security
Requirements, and ensure that the requirements of this NNSA
Policy are included in those contracts.
Page iv NAP-70.2
07-02-10
(b) Contracting Officers. Assist originators of procurement requests
who want to incorporate the requirements of this NNSA Policy in
new non-site/facility management contracts, as appropriate.
d. Exclusion. In accordance with the responsibilities and authorities assigned by
Executive Order 12344, Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program codified at 50 U.S.C.
sections 2406, 2511 and to ensure consistency throughout the joint Navy/DOE
organization of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Deputy Administrator
for Naval Reactors (Director) will implement and oversee all requirements and
practices pertaining to this NNSA Policy for activities under the Director’s
cognizance, as deemed appropriate.
For NNSA HQ elements which are resident at and serviced through DOE HQs,
this NAP will not be applicable as the security servicing organization is the DOE
Office of Health, Safety, and Security (HSS). NNSA will reevaluate the ability to
and will be required to continue to follow all DOE policy, orders, and manuals.

7. SUMMARY. This NNSA Policy consists of 13 chapters and one attachment that provide
direction and requirements for planning, implementing, and monitoring the application of
physical protection measures. The chapters describe the procedures and management
process applicable to NNSA operating environments. Implementation of these
procedures should be accomplished under an approved security plan, as described in
DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1, which describes an integrated, performance-based approach to
site security.
8. DEVIATIONS. Deviations from national regulations, including CFR and national-level
policies, are subject to the deviation process of the governing document rather than the
Departmental deviation process. This NNSA Policy conveys no authority to deviate from
law or other national-level requirements.
a. Requests for deviations from requirements specific to the Department of this
NNSA Policy must be processed in accordance with the provisions of DOE M
470.4-1, Chg. 1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management,
dated 3-7-06.
Section 5
b. Protection of some national security interests cannot be accomplished by use of
the measures defined in this NAP. In such unique circumstances, the appropriate
cognizant security authority may approve protection requirements tailored to that
particular interest using graded protection measures described in a specific
security plan.
9. DEFINITIONS. Definitions for most terms included in the NNSA DNS S&S Program
may be found in DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program References, dated
August 26, 2005, but may also be included in this NNSA Policy if required for context.
Other pertinent definitions are as follows:
a. Cognizant Security Authority. Federal and contractor employees who have been
granted the authority to commit security resources or direct the allocation of
security personnel or approve security implementation plans and procedures in the
accomplishment of specific work activities.
(1) NNSA Cognizant Security Authority (NNSA CSA). The Federal CSA
responsible for inherently government functions and risk acceptance for
security requirements that cannot be further delegated to the contractor.
(2) Cognizant Security Authority (CSA). The CSA at the contractor level.
This is the level of authority granted to the contractor.
b. Closed Areas (CA). An area that meets the requirements of this NNSA Policy for
safeguarding classified matter and/or a security interest that, because of its size,
nature, or operational necessity, cannot be adequately protected by the normal
safeguards or stored during nonworking hours in approved containers.
c. Day-lock. A practice that permits users to temporarily leave classified matter in
areas where access is controlled and limited to individuals with appropriate
NAP-70.2 Page vii
07-02-10
clearance and need-to-know as documented and prescribed by the CSA. Refer to
NNSA Information Security NAP for additional day-lock requirements.
d. Engineered Openings. Openings greater than 96 inches square that have been
designed and constructed to allow access to storage locations for lawful purpose.
Examples include, but are not limited to, door openings, window openings, and
ventilation openings.
e. Supplemental Protection. Supplemental protection measures include additional
security measures such as GSA approved security containers, intrusion detection
systems, protective force (PF) patrols, special checks or access control systems.
Supplemental protection measures should be documented in the Site Security Plan
(SSP) and approved by the CSA.
NOTE: GSA-approved security containers and approved vaults secured with a
locking mechanism meeting Federal Specification FF-L-2740 do not require
supplemental protection when the CSA has determined that the GSA-approved
security container or approved vault is located in an area of the facility with
security-in-depth.
NOTE: When PF are authorized, the schedule of patrol is 2 hours for Top Secret
matter and 4 hours for Secret matter.

Chapter I - PROTECTION PLANNING
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. This National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
Policy establishes requirements for the physical protection of all NNSA interests
including NNSA property and national safeguards and security interests under U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) purview. Interests requiring protection range from
Government facilities, buildings, property and employees, to national security interests
such as classified information, special nuclear material (SNM) and nuclear weapons.
Physical protection strategies must be developed, documented, and implemented
consistent with the DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security Protection (GSP) Policy, dated 8-
12-08 formerly the Design Basis Threat Policy, and national policy to protect against
radiological, chemical, or biological sabotage.
2. PLANNING. The implementation of graded physical protection programs required by
this NNSA Policy must be systematically planned, executed, evaluated, and documented
as described by a Site Security Plan (SSP) (see DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1, Safeguards and
Security Program Planning and Management, dated 3-7-06).
a. Physical protection programs must be based on the most recent GSP information
and used in conjunction with local threat guidance.
b. Departmental interests must be protected from malevolent acts such as theft,
diversion, and sabotage and events such as civil disorder by considering site and
regional threats, protection planning strategies, and protection measures.
c. SNM must be protected at the higher level when roll-up to a higher category can
occur within a single security area unless the facility has conducted an analysis
that determined roll-up was not credible (see DOE M 470.4-6, Chg. 1, Nuclear
Material Control and Accountability, dated 8-14-06, and DOE M 470.4-7,
Safeguards and Security Program References, dated 8-26-05).
d. Sites upgrading security measures must consider the benefits provided using
security technology by conducting life-cycle cost-benefit analyses comparing the
effectiveness of security technology to traditional manpower-based
methodologies. However, at Category I and Category II facilities various
manpower alternatives to include security technologies must be used to allow
protective force personnel to concentrate on the primary mission of protecting
nuclear weapons, SNM, and designated high-value targets.
Section 11
(1) If parking areas are near security areas and could interfere with intrusion
detection sensor fields, clear zones, protective force operations, or pose a
threat to target areas, these parking issues must be addressed in the SSP.
(2) Parking areas must not impact security equipment, security operations or be
located in manner that degrades protection of Departmental interests.
Page I-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
(3) Vehicle bomb threats must be considered in determining the location of
vehicle parking areas. For all new construction, parking areas should be
located at a pre-determined distance from buildings to minimize a vehicle
bomb threat. The set-back distance must be determined by using the GSP
and site vulnerability assessment.
NAP-70.2 Page II-1
07-02-10
Chapter II - SECURITY AREAS
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Security areas are established to provide protection to a
wide array of safeguards and security (S&S) interests under the U.S. Department of
Energy’s (DOE) purview, to include nuclear weapons, special nuclear material (SNM),
classified information, buildings, facilities, Government property, employees and other
interests. The security areas described in this Chapter address a graded approach for the
protection of S&S interests.
2. GENERAL ACCESS AREAS (GAAs). GAAs may be established to allow access to
certain areas with minimum security requirements as determined by the cognizant
security authority (CSA). These designated areas are accessible to all personnel
including the public. The CSA should establish security requirements for those areas
designated as a GAA.
3. PROPERTY PROTECTION AREAS (PPAs). PPAs are security areas that are
established to protect employees and Government buildings, facilities and property.
a. General Requirements. The requirements for PPAs must be configured to protect
Government-owned property and equipment against damage, destruction, or theft
and must provide a means to control public access. The CSA must designate,
describe, and document PPA protection measures within their Site Security Plan
(SSP).
b. Signs. See Chapter IV of this National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)
Policy.
c. Access Control. Access controls must be implemented as established by the CSA.
d. Inspection Program. An inspection program is to deter prohibited and controlled
articles from being brought into PPA facilities and deter unauthorized removal of
government assets. All personnel, vehicles, packages, and hand-carried articles
are subject to inspection before entering or exiting a security area.
e. Visitor Processing. Site-specific requirements and procedures for receiving
visitors must be developed and approved by the CSA.
4. LIMITED AREAS (LAs). LAs are security areas designated for the protection of
classified matter and Category III SNM. Specific protection requirements applicable to
Category III quantities of SNM are provided in Chapter III.
a. General Requirements. LA boundaries are defined by physical barriers
encompassing the designated space and access controls.
b. Access Control. The identity and clearance level of each person seeking entry to
an LA must be validated by protective force (PF), or other appropriately
authorized personnel, or by an automated system and documented in the SSP.
Page II-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
c. Inspection Program. An inspection program is to deter prohibited and controlled
articles from being brought into LA facilities and deter unauthorized removal of
government assets. All personnel, vehicles, packages, and hand-carried articles
are subject to inspection before entering or exiting a security area.
Section 12
d. Personnel Access. Individuals without a security clearance must be escorted by
an authorized person who is to ensure measures are taken to prevent a
compromise of classified matter.
(1) Escort Ratios. The CSA must establish escort-to-visitor ratios in a graded
manner for each LA or above security area.
(2) Escort Responsibilities. Any person permitted to enter a LA or above who
does not possess a security clearance at the appropriate level must be
escorted at all times by an appropriately cleared and knowledgeable
individual trained in local escort procedures.
(a) Escorts must ensure measures are taken to prevent compromise of
S&S interests.
(b) The escort must ensure the visitor has a need-to-know for the
security area or the S&S interests. Need-to-know requirements are
defined in the NNSA Information Security NAP.
(3) Access Validation. Validations must occur at entry control points of LAs.
(a) The identity and security clearance held by each person seeking
entry must be validated by appropriately authorized personnel,
automated systems, or other means documented in the SSP.
(b) Where practicable, PF personnel will not be used to control access
to LAs.
(4) “Piggybacking.” The following requirements must be documented in the
SSP if piggybacking into LAs is permitted.
(a) Personnel with the appropriate security clearance may vouch for
another person with the required security clearance to “piggyback”
into an LA.
(b) Authorized personnel permitting the entry of another person must
inspect the individual’s DOE security badge to ensure that it bears
a likeness of the individual and that he or she has the proper
security clearance identifier on the badge. When PF personnel are
not controlling access to the LA, the federal or contractor
employee authorized to enter the LA is responsible for ensuring
that those accompanying individuals are authorized entry.
NAP-70.2 Page II-3
07-02-10
(5) Automated Access Control Systems. Automated access control systems
may be used if the following requirements are met.
(a) Automated access controls used for access to a LA security area
must verify that the DOE security badge is valid (i.e., that the
badge data read by the system match the data assigned to the badge
holder).
(b) Personnel or other protective measures are required to protect card
reader access transactions, displays (e.g., badge-encoded data), and
keypad devices. The process of inputting, storing, displaying, or
recording verification data must ensure that the data are protected
in accordance with the SSP.
(c) The system must record all attempts at access to include
unsuccessful, unauthorized, and authorized.
(d) Door locks opened by badge readers must be designed to relock
when the door has closed.
(e) Transmission of security clearance and personal identification or
verification data between devices/equipment must be protected in
accordance with the SSP.
(f) Records reflecting active assignments of DOE security badges,
security clearance, and similar system-related records must be
maintained. Records of personnel removed from the system must
be retained for 1 year, unless a longer period is specified by other
requirements. Personal data must be protected in conformance
with the Privacy Act, (see 5 U.S.C. 552).
e. Visitor Processing. Site-specific requirements and procedures for receiving
visitors must be developed and approved by the CSA.
f. Vehicle Access. Vehicle access requirements will be documented in the SSP.
Section 13
g. Signs. See Chapter IV of this NNSA Policy.
5. EXCLUSION AREAS (EAs). EAs are established to protect classified matter where an
individual’s mere presence may result in access to classified matter.
a. General Requirements. The boundaries of EAs must be encompassed by physical
barriers and be located within the minimum of an LA.
b. Access Control. In addition to the requirements for an LA, the following
requirements apply to access to an EA. Visitor logs must be used for EAs.
Page II-4 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
c. Inspection Program. An inspection program is to deter prohibited and controlled
articles from being brought into EA facilities and deter unauthorized removal of
government assets. All personnel, vehicles, packages, and hand-carried articles
are subject to inspection before entering or exiting a security area.
d. Intrusion Detection. When the exclusion area is unoccupied and classified matter
is not secured in a security container the EA must, at a minimum, meet the
requirements of a closed area or an appropriate level of protection as determined
by the CSA.
6. PROTECTED AREAS (PAs). PAs are security areas that are established to protect
Category II or greater quantities of SNM and may also contain classified matter. The PA
provides concentric layers of security for the material access area (MAA). In addition to
meeting LA requirements, the following apply to a PA.
a. General Requirements. PAs must be encompassed by physical barriers that
identify the boundaries, surrounded by a perimeter intrusion detection and
assessment system (PIDAS), and equipped with access controls that ensure only
authorized personnel are allowed to enter and exit. Entry control points must be
located within the PIDAS and protected by the PIDAS when not in use. This
configuration must provide a continuous PIDAS zone at the barrier that
encompasses the entry control point. The entry control point should permit entry
of only one person at a time into PAs. Electronic entry control point search
equipment (e.g., metal detectors) must annunciate locally to a PF-staffed entry
control point.
b. Inspection Program. An inspection program must be able to detect prohibited and
controlled articles before they are brought into PA facilities. All personnel,
vehicles, packages, and hand-carried articles are subject to inspection before entry
into a security area. Likewise, such programs must be able to detect removal of
S&S interests. An inspection program must be established by the CSA and
documented in the SSP.
c. Access Control. When the personal identification number (PIN) or biometric
system is either not working or not implemented at security areas requiring
measures in addition to access control (e.g., at a PA or MAA boundary), PF or
other trained security personnel must perform the access control requirements as
documented in the SSP.
(1) Personnel Access. Unescorted access must be controlled to limit entry to
individuals with an L or Q security clearance.
(a) Visitor logs or automated access control logs must be used for
PAs.
(b) Validation of the security clearance must occur at PA entry control
points.
NAP-70.2 Page II-5
07-02-10
1. The identity and security clearance of each person seeking
entry must be validated by PF personnel or
2. Automated access control systems may be used in place of or
in conjunction with protective force personnel to meet access
requirements.
Section 14
(c) Both the Central Alarm Station (CAS)/Secondary Alarm Station
(SAS) must monitor the unattended automated access control
system’s intrusion alarm events.
(d) Badge readers at PAs must have anti-passback protection for
unattended automated access control.
(e) If PA access is controlled by an unattended automated access
control system, the system must verify the following:
1. a valid DOE security badge (badge validation must match the
data assigned to the badge holder),
2. valid security clearance, and
3. valid PIN or
4. valid biometric.
(2) Vehicle Access. Private vehicles are prohibited. Government-owned or
Government-leased, service or vendor vehicles may be admitted only when
on official business and only when operated by properly cleared and
authorized drivers or when the drivers are escorted by properly cleared and
authorized personnel.
(3) Visitor Processing. Site-specific requirements and procedures for receiving
visitors must be developed and approved by the CSA.
7. MATERIAL ACCESS AREAS (MAAs). MAAs are security areas established to protect
Category I quantities of SNM. In addition to requirements for a PA, the following apply
to an MAA. The entry control point should permit entry of only one person at a time into
MAAs.
a. General Requirements. MAAs must have defined boundaries with barriers that
provide sufficient delay time to impede, control, or deter unauthorized access.
(1) MAAs must be located within a PA and must have distinct boundaries.
Multiple MAAs may exist within a single PA; however, an MAA cannot
cross a PA boundary. MAAs may be co-located with the PA boundary if
Page II-6 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
documented in the SSP and protection values meet those identified in the
vulnerability assessment.
(2) While an MAA is required for the protection of Category I quantities of
SNM, classified matter may exist within an MAA with CSA approval. In
such instances, the MAA constitutes adequate protection of open storage of
classified matter for Secret and below.
b. Access Control. Access control must be administered by armed PF personnel
and/or automated access control systems.
(1) Badge readers at MAAs must have anti-passback protection for unattended
automated access control.
(2) Access must be controlled to limit entry to individuals with a Q security
clearance who have been authorized for entry consistent with need-to-know
and operations.
(3) Individuals without appropriate security clearance must be escorted.
(a) The CSA must establish escort-to-visitor ratios for the MAA.
(b) The escort must ensure measures are taken to prevent compromise
of classified matter or access to SNM.
(4) Validation of security clearance and other access requirements as
documented in the SSP must occur at MAA entry control points.
(5) Site-specific requirements and procedures for visitors must be developed
and approved by the CSA. The procedures must provide for the
information described in Attachment 1.
8. SPECIAL DESIGNATED SECURITY AREAS. Other areas such as Sensitive
Compartmented Information Facilities, Special Access Program Facilities, secure
communications centers, and automated information system centers will be protected in
accordance with applicable Standards.

Chapter III - PROTECTION OF CATEGORY I, II, III AND IV
SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL (SNM) AND PROTECTION OF NUCLEAR
WEAPONS AND COMPONENTS
Section 15
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROTECTION OF CATEGORY III AND IV
SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIAL (SNM). This Chapter contains the requirements for
protecting Category I, II, III and IV quantities of SNM. The priority of protection
measures must be designed to prevent malevolent acts such as theft, diversion, and
radiological sabotage and to respond to adverse conditions such as emergencies caused
by acts of nature. SNM, parts, or explosives that are classified must receive the physical
protection required by the higher level of classification or category of SNM, whichever is
the more stringent.
2. CATEGORY IV QUANTITIES OF SNM. The following requirements apply.
a. In Use or Processing. Category IV quantities of SNM must be used or processed
within at least a property protection area and in accordance with local security
procedures approved by the cognizant security authority (CSA).
b. Storage. Category IV quantities of SNM must be stored in a locked area within at
least a property protection area, and procedures must be documented in an
approved Site Security Plan.
3. CATEGORY III QUANTITIES OF SNM. The following requirements apply.
a. In Use or Processing. Category III quantities of SNM must be used or processed
in an access controlled security area within at least a limited area (LA) and in
accordance with local security procedures approved by the CSA.
b. Storage. Category III quantities of SNM must be stored within a locked security
container or room, either of which must be located within at least an LA. The
container or room must be under the protection of an intrusion detection system or
Protective Force (PF) patrol physical check at least every 8 hours.
4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CATEGORY I AND II SNM. This section defines
requirements for protecting nuclear weapons, components, and Category I and II
quantities of SNM. SNM must be protected at the higher level when roll-up to Category
I quantities can occur within a single security area unless the facility has conducted an
analysis that determined roll up was not credible. The policy cited in this section applies
to fixed facilities and sites within a designated Protected Area (PA) or Material Access
Area (MAA) and not the conduct of onsite movement of SNM or operations managed by
the Office of Secure Transportation (OST). The OST is responsible for the promulgation
of specific internal guidance governing the protection afforded all U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) matter entrusted to OST for transport by surface and air. Transportation
of SNM, whether onsite or by OST, must be provided protection equivalent to that
provided by fixed sites for the same material.
Page III-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
a. A facility must not possess, receive, process, transport, or store nuclear weapons
or SNM until that facility has been cleared (see DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1,
Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management, dated 3-7-06).
b. An integrated system of positive measures must be developed and implemented to
protect Category I and II quantities of SNM and nuclear weapons. Protection
measures must address physical protection strategies of denial and containment as
well as recapture, recovery, and/or pursuit.
c. SNM, parts, explosives or munitions that are classified must receive the physical
protection required by the highest level of classification or category of SNM,
whichever is the more stringent.
5. CATEGORY II QUANTITIES OF SNM.
Section 16
a. In Use or Processing. Category II quantities of SNM must be located within a PA
and under material surveillance procedures.
b. Storage. Category II quantities of SNM must be stored in a vault or closed area
located within a PA.
6. CATEGORY I QUANTITIES OF SNM.
a. In Use or Processing. Category I quantities of SNM must be located within a
MAA. Any MAA containing unattended Category I quantities of SNM must be
equipped with an intrusion detection system or detection must be provided by PF.
Storage. Category I SNM must be stored in a vault or in a closed area with
enhanced protection measures. The performance of the integrated protection
system, including storage areas, for Category I SNM must include sufficient
detection, assessment, and response capabilities to provide a high system’s
effectiveness against threats outlined in the Department’s Graded Security
Protection policy.

Chapter IV - POSTING NOTICES
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Signs must be posted at facilities, installations, and real
property based on the need to implement Federal statutes protecting against degradation
of safeguards and security interests.
2. PROHIBITED AND CONTROLLED ARTICLES. Signs listing prohibited articles must
be posted at the outermost security area boundary. Additional prohibited and controlled
article signs may be posted at inner security areas [Property Protection Area, Limited
Area (LA), Exclusion Area (EA), Protected Area (PA), and/or Material Access Area
(MAA)] as determined by the cognizant security authority (CSA). The listing of
controlled articles is to be prepared by the sites.
Authorization for prohibited articles to be used for official Government business must be
documented in a Site Security Plan (SSP). The articles listed below will not be permitted
onto U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) property without appropriate authorization.
a. Prohibited Articles. Prohibited articles include items such as:
(1) explosives,
(2) dangerous weapons,
(3) instruments or material likely to produce substantial injury to persons or
damage to persons or property,
(4) controlled substances (e.g., illegal drugs and associated paraphernalia but
not prescription medicine), and
(5) other items prohibited by law. Specific information covering prohibited
items may be found under the provisions of 10 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 860 and 41 CFR Part 102-74 Subpart C.
b. Controlled Articles.
(1) Controlled articles such as portable electronic devices, both Government
and personally owned, capable of recording information or transmitting
data (e.g., audio, video, radio frequency, infrared, and/or data link
electronic equipment) are not permitted in LAs, EAs, PAs, and MAAs,
without prior approval. The approval process must be documented in the
SSP. NOTE: Government-owned computer systems that are part of the
day-to-day operations are exempt from the requirement. The CSA must
specify any other equipment to be exempted from the approval process.
(2) Sites are to develop procedures to account for, control, and limit all
controlled articles entering specified security areas. These procedures must
be approved by the CSA.
Page IV-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
(a) For application to Special Access Program Facilities (SAPFs),
Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities, etc., the Director
Central Intelligence Directive (DCID) 6/9 and DCID manual,
Physical Security Standards for Sensitive Compartmented
Information Facilities, program guidance must be implemented.
Section 17
For SAPFs, the programmatic policy addressing Controlled
Articles would be issued by the Special Access Program
Administrator (see DOE M 471.2-3B, Special Access Program
Policies, Responsibilities, and Procedure, dated 10-29-07).
(b) Office of Secure Transportation Federal Agents, DOE protective
personnel, and other Federal agents and local law enforcement
officials with jurisdiction whose duties routinely require the
carrying and operation of controlled articles, are exempt from this
requirement unless a nuclear safety reason exists to prohibit certain
communication devices; e.g., cellular telephones, transceiver-
radios, and other electronic radiating/emitting devices. If such a
prohibition exists, it is to be documented in specific agreements
between the site and Federal agency.
3. SURVEILLANCE EQUIPMENT. Warning signs and/or notices must be posted at
entrances to areas under electronic surveillance advising that physical protection
surveillance equipment is in operation.
4. TRESPASSING. Signage indicating DOE property must be posted according to statutes,
regulations, and the administrative requirements for posting specified in this National
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Policy.

provide the rules and regulations governing public buildings and grounds
under the charge and control of the General Service Administration (GSA).
41 CFR 102-74 Subpart C governs entry to public buildings and grounds
under the charge and control of the GSA.
(4) Signs prohibiting trespassing must be conspicuously posted at all entrances
of each designated facility, installation or parcel or real property and at
such intervals along the perimeter as will provide reasonable assurance of
notice to persons about to enter, except where one security area is within a
larger, posted security area. The distance between the signage is to be
determined by the CSA.
b. Posting Proposals. Requirements for the administration of posting proposals are
as follows:
(1) Conditions. Proposals for the posting of facilities, installations, or real
property, or amendment to or revocation of a previous proposal must be
submitted when one of the following occurs.
(a) The property is owned by or contracted to the United States for
DOE use.
Section 18

responsibility over the property.
NAP-70.2 Page V-1
07-02-10
Chapter V - LOCKS AND KEYS
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. A program to protect and manage locks and keys must
be established by the cognizant security authority (CSA). The program must be applied
in a graded manner based on the safeguards and security (S&S) interests being protected,
identified threat, existing barriers, and other protection measures afforded these interests.
Security keys include mechanical keys, key cards, and access codes. Security keys do
not include administrative or privacy lock keys to factory-installed file cabinet locks,
desk locks, toolboxes, etc. Access codes must be protected from compromise. Alternate
locking hardware may be used for the protection of Category I, II, III, and IV special
nuclear material (SNM) and classified matter based on the vulnerability assessment. The
CSA may approve alternate locking hardware at a lower level.
Section 19
2. CATEGORIES. Security keys and locks are divided into three levels, Levels I through
III. These levels are based on the S&S interest being protected and upon a site analysis.
Non-security locks and keys are considered administrative. The CSA must determine the
appropriate level for application to the site. Facilities that do not possess nuclear
weapons, weapons components, SNM, classified matter, and high-value government
property should follow the requirements established for Level III locks and keys. The
paragraphs below describe recommended uses for each level.
a. Level I. Security locations such as vaults, closed areas, material access areas
which store nuclear weapons and Category I and Category II that roll-up to a
Category I quantity of SNM, and where Top Secret and/or Secret matter are
stored require Level I security locks and keys. This applies to the innermost
areas, not outer doors or gates.
b. Level II. Building doors, entry control points, gates in Protected Areas, fences,
doors or other barriers or containers protecting Category II and Category III SNM
and Confidential classified matter must be protected by locks and keys
categorized as Level II.
c. Level III. Buildings, gates in fences, cargo containers, and storage areas
protecting Category IV SNM, and government property whose loss would
significantly impact security and/or site/facility operations must be protected by
locks and keys categorized as Level III.
NOTE: These requirements do not apply to the practice of “day-lock” for classified
matter-in-use, a principle that is described in the NNSA Information Security NAP.
3. LOCK AND KEY STANDARDS. Key locksets must meet American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard A156.2-1996, Grade 1, Bored and Preassembled
Locks and Latches, or ANSI A156.13-1996, Grade 1, Mortise Locksets.

a. Locks used in the protection of classified matter and Categories I and II SNM
(e.g., security containers, safes, vaults) must meet Federal Specification FF-L-
2740A, Locks, Combination.
b. All security locks securing containers, vaults, and closed areas placed into service
after July 14, 1994 must have a lock that meets Federal Specification FF-L-
2740A, Locks, Combination.
c. Combination padlocks must meet Federal Specification FF-P-110, Padlock,
Changeable Combination, and standards cited in 41 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) Part 101, Federal Property Management Regulations. These padlocks may
be used with the lock bars securing metal filing cabinets. NOTE: These padlocks
conform to the standards set forth in National Security Council Directive
governing the classification, downgrading, declassification and safeguarding of
national security information.
d. Security key padlocks/hardware should meet the following specifications:
(1) High-security, shrouded-shackle, key-operated padlocks should meet
standards in Military Specification MIL-DTL-43607H, Padlock, Key
Operated, High Security, Shrouded Shackle. High-security padlocks are
approved to secure Category I and II SNM and Top Secret and/or Secret
matter.
(2) Low-security, regular (open-shackle, key-operated padlocks) should meet
the classes and standards in Commercial Item Description A-A-59486A
and A-A-59487A. The CSA must determine low-security padlock usage
based upon the site analysis conducted on the security interest being
protected.
Section 20
(3) Lock bars used to secure file cabinets containing classified information
must be 1¼ inches (31.75 millimeters) by 3/16 inch (4.76 millimeters) or
equivalent in cross section and constructed of rigid metal material. NOTE:
Securing file cabinets with locking bars will not be acceptable after
October 1, 2012.
(4) Hasps and yokes on containers storing classified matter must be
constructed of steel material, be at least ¼ inch (6.35 millimeters) in
diameter or equivalent cross section, and be secured to the container by
welding, or riveting, to preclude removal.
(5) General field service padlock is a heavy-duty, exposed shackle lock that
meets Federal Specification FF-P-2827. The key-operated padlock is
designed for non-high security application where there is exposure to grit
and corrosive or freezing environments. The CSA must determine general
field service padlock usage based on a site analysis conducted on the
security interest being protected.
NAP-70.2 Page V-3
07-02-10
e. Panic hardware or emergency exit mechanisms used on emergency doors located
in security areas must be operable only from inside the perimeter and must meet
all applicable Life Safety Codes (see U.S. Department of Energy [DOE] M 470.4-
7, Safeguards and Security Program References, dated 8-26-05).
f. Keys, key blanks, and key cutting codes must be protected in a graded fashion.
Consideration must be given to the S&S interest being protected, the identified
threat, existing barriers, and other protection measures afforded to the interest.
Locks and keys must be categorized according to the interest being protected. An
inventory and accountability system must be implemented.
g. Security key stock must be stored in a manner to prevent loss, theft, or
unauthorized use. (Security keys are devices that can open a lock and can
include, but are not limited to, mechanical keys, key cards and access codes.
Security keys do not include administrative or privacy lock keys to factory
installed file cabinet locks, desk locks, toolboxes, etc.). Access codes that may
open a lock that controls access to a security interest must be protected from
compromise. Personnel responsible for the control and issuance of locking
systems and/or security keys, including key cards (when used in place of
mechanical keys), must maintain a security clearance commensurate with that
required for access to the interest to which the keys provide direct access.
(1) The pinning and cutting of Levels I, II, and III security locks and keys must
be done within a Limited Area or have equivalent type protection
measures.
(2) The use and protection strategy for grand master, master, sub-master, and
control keys, etc., must be considered, analyzed and documented in the Site
Security Plan (SSP). Grand master and master keys will not be used in the
protection of Category I SNM.
4. INVENTORY. An inventory system must be implemented to ensure the accountability
of Levels I, II, and III security locks, keys, key rings, key ways, and pinned cores and
documented in the SSP. A hands-on inventory must be conducted for all keys and
padlocks both in use and in storage, as specified below. NOTE: The requirements for
inventorying of locks do not apply to the XO series of combination locks installed on
security containers, vaults and closed areas or electro-mechanical locks. Each
accountable key and key core, including key cards (when used in place of mechanical
keys), must have an affixed unique and permanent identifying number.
Section 21
a. Fabrication, issuance, return, and destruction of Levels I, II, and III security locks
and keys must be documented.
(1) Duplicate and replacement keys must not have the same key number
assigned as the key being replaced or duplicated.
Page V-4 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
(2) Grand master security keys must be kept to an operational minimum and
protected at the highest level of S&S interest being protected. NOTE:
Grand master security keys include a system wherein a series of locks are
keyed alike.
(3) The inventory record must identify the specific duplicate and replacement
keys. If replaced, the disposition of the key being replaced must be
recorded.
(4) Include in inventory records locks, keys in possession of key holders,
issuance stock, and keys assigned to key rings/key cabinets. The inventory
record should include the list of the locations of locks that each key will
open.
(5) Document each person issued a Level I security lock and key and the
individual who issued the locks and key.
(6) Document the locations of the locks and keys.
b. There must be a 100 percent semi-annual inventory of all Level I security locks
and keys.
c. Level I security keys issued on a temporary basis must be inventoried daily.
Accountability of tamper indicating key rings is sufficient when used.
d. Key rings for Level I and II must have a unique identifying number placed on the
ring.
e. A 100 percent inventory of all Level II keys must be conducted annually by the
responsible organization. Level III keys will be inventoried as determined by the
CSA.
f. Sites must have documented procedures for accountable key turn-in when
personnel or programs are terminating or when an individual no longer has a need
for the key.
5. LEVEL I SECURITY KEYS AND LOCKS. Level I key blanks must be
restricted/proprietary; specifically, the blank must be unique to the site (e.g., it does not
use a commercially available master key blank).
a. When not in use for the protection of the above interests (e.g., locksmith service
work) the assembled Level I security locks or cores and Level I security keys
must remain under the direct control of an authorized person or must be stored in
a General Services Administration (GSA)-approved security container or a closed
area (or other location as identified in the SSP with equivalent protection).
Access to the Level I security locks and keys must be controlled and limited to
authorized personnel.
NAP-70.2 Page V-5
07-02-10
b. Any installation, replacement, or maintenance activities associated with Level I

e. The barrier design must consider proximity to buildings or overhanging
structures.
3. HARDWARE. Screws, nuts, bolts, hasps, clamps, bars, wire mesh, hinges, and hinge
pins must be fastened securely to impede removal and to ensure visual evidence of
tampering. Hardware accessible from outside the security area must be peened, brazed,
or spot-welded to preclude removal or the area must be otherwise secured by use of
tamper-resistant hardware (e.g., non-removable hinge pins) or by other means as
described in the SSP. NOTE: These requirements do not apply to fencing.

soils, or surface waters may cause erosion and thereby assist an
intruder in penetrating the area.
(b) Where surface stabilization is impossible or impractical, concrete
curbs, sills, or a similar type of anchoring device extending below
ground level must be provided.
Section 27
(4) Alternate barriers may be used instead of fencing if the penetration
resistance of the barrier is equal to or greater than security fencing
specified in this chapter.
d. Temporary Security Fencing. Temporary barriers may be of any height and
material that effectively impedes access to the area. During construction or
temporary activities, security fencing must be installed to:
(1) exclude unauthorized vehicular and pedestrian traffic from the security area
site,
(2) restrict authorized vehicular traffic to designated access roads, and
(3) comply with site-specific protection goals and operational requirements.
5. PERIMETER BARRIER GATES. Controls for motorized gates used for entry control
points must be located within protective force posts or other locations as described in the
SSP. Motorized gates must be designed to facilitate manual operation during power

b. Frames must be securely anchored in the walls and windows locked from the
inside or installed in fixed (non-operable) frames so the panes are not removable
from outside the area under protection.
c. Visual barriers must be used if visual access is a factor.
10. PROTECTIVE FORCE (PF) POSTS.
a. Special Nuclear Material (SNM) Access. Permanent PF posts controlling access
to protected areas and PF towers intended to be used as a tactical fighting position
should be constructed to meet the requirements for a hardened post, unless
documented through vulnerability analysis in the SSP or documented in the SSP.
Exterior walls, windows, roofs, floors (towers only) and doors must be
constructed of, or reinforced with, materials that have a bullet-penetration
resistance equivalent to the Level 8 high-power rifle rating given in Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) Standard 752, Standard for Bullet Resisting Equipment.

Section 28
NAP-70.2 Page VII-5
07-02-10
11. UTILITY AND OTHER BARRIER PENETRATIONS AND OPENINGS. The
following requirements apply to security areas other than GAAs, Property Protection
Areas (PPAs) and LAs. The application to GAAs, PPAs and LAs is at the discretion of
the CSA.
Physical protection features must be implemented at all locations where utility and other
barrier penetrations and openings occur, such as where storm sewers, drainage swales,
and site utilities intersect the security boundary or area. These openings/penetrations
must be sealed/filled or constricted barriers applied to deter and/or prevent an
unauthorized entry. In those instances where a potential audio/video surveillance threat
could occur within conference rooms and other similar facilities approved for classified

a window, fire escape, roof, or other opening in an uncontrolled adjacent building;
the opening is not visible from another controlled opening in the same barrier; or
the opening is below a perimeter barrier, which is part of a utility tunnel, pipe
chase, exhaust ducts or air handling filter banks penetrating the building, facility,
or site.
12. PENETRATION OF PA/MATERIAL ACCESS AREAS (MAA) BARRIERS. In
addition to the requirements in Section 11 above, penetration of security area barrier
requirements for a PA includes the following:

address resistance to eavesdropping, vulnerability to transmission of
deceptive messages, and susceptibility to jamming.
Section 30
(2) PF Radio System Requirements. The application of digital encryption may
be implemented on a graded basis. When the PF communications are
converted to meet Federal Communications Commission narrow band
frequency requirements, digital encryption (see ANSI/TIA/EIA-102 Phase
I, referred to as Project 25) must be included.
(3) Alternative Means of Communication. Alternative means of
communication must be in place such as telephones, intercoms, public
address systems, hand signals, sirens, lights, pagers, couriers, computer
Page VIII-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
terminals, flares, duress alarms, smoke, or whistles. Encryption is not
required for alternate means of communication.
(4) Local Law Enforcement Agency (LLEA) Communication. If required by
the Site Security Plan (SSP), a mechanism must be established to ensure
communication with LLEAs. An alternative communications capability
from a SAS must be provided if the primary station is compromised. Tests
of these communications systems must be documented in the local site
procedures and the memorandum of agreement/understanding.

Section 31
g. PF Tracking Systems. Systems capable of tracking and displaying the live
movements and state-of-health of PF may be used to improve the situational
awareness of PF commanders. Data associated with these systems are typically
transmitted by radio frequency so the following limitations apply:
(1) Classified information may not be transmitted by the wireless
communications associated with tracking systems.
(2) PF tracking systems used at sites with Category I quantities of SNM must
be evaluated prior to implementation by the CSA. The evaluation is to
determine if the high system effectiveness rating, as described in DOE M
470.4-1, Chg. 1, Safeguards and Security Program Management, dated 3-

h. Radio Frequency (RF) Alarm Communications. The RF alarm communications
systems, when used to protect Category I and II quantities of SNM, must be
limited to emergency, temporary situations, or early warning detection
applications. When used, a comprehensive risk assessment must be conducted
and a DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security Protection (GSP) Policy, dated 8-12-08,
implementation plan established. RF alarm systems and associated
communication systems used for the protection of Category I and II quantities of
SNM must meet the following additional requirements:
(1) RF alarm communications systems are used for auxiliary security
applications and do not require the same robustness as primary systems for
protection of Category I and II quantities of SNM.

auxiliary power based on safeguards and security interests being protected and document
it in the SSP.
Electrical power to supply the intrusion detection and assessment systems should be
provided to assure continuous system availability and operation. The scope of the
primary and auxiliary power sources are as follows.
a. Primary Power. All intrusion detection systems (IDSs) must have primary power
from normal onsite power. The power source must contain a switching capability
for component and comprehensive system testing. This testing can be used to
determine the capacity and source of the required auxiliary power. Early warning
systems and other technologies that have self-contained electrical power are
exempt from this requirement. The following system elements should be
considered in configuring the power requirements:
(1) Alarm data networks and communication systems should receive primary
power directly from the onsite power distribution system. When the
facility does not receive its power from an internal distribution system,
power would come directly from the public utility.
(2) Alarm control panels, alarm management systems and automated
information systems or associated critical components must be connected
to an uninterruptible power supply or auxiliary power.
b. Auxiliary-Uninterruptible Power. Auxiliary or uninterruptible power sources
should be provided for alarm systems requiring continuous power and for systems
that, if interrupted, would degrade or compromise the protection afforded the
asset.
Section 32
3. ELECTRICAL POWER FOR CATEGORY I AND II FACILITIES. All IDSs protecting
safeguards and security interests must have a primary power source from normal onsite
power. Early warning systems and other technologies that have self-contained electrical
power are exempt from this requirement. Power sources must contain a switching
capability for operational testing to determine required auxiliary power sources. The
following power supply requirements apply:
a. Alarm and Communication Systems. Normal primary power must come directly
from the onsite power distribution system or for isolated facilities, directly from
the public utility.
NAP-70.2 Page VIII-5
07-02-10
b. Communications and Automated Information Systems, Alarm Stations, and Radio
Repeater Stations. Critical system elements must be connected to an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or to auxiliary power.
c. Radio System Centers. Power supply requirements must be determined assuming
that all transmitters are keyed simultaneously while associated receivers and other
equipment and building services are in operation.
d. Auxiliary Power Sources. Intrusion detection and assessment, automated access
control, and closed circuit television (CCTV) systems protecting Category I and II
quantities of SNM must have an auxiliary power capability.
(1) Transfer to auxiliary power must be automatic upon failure of the primary
source and must not affect operation of the protection system,
subcomponents, or devices. The CAS and SAS must receive an alarm
indicating failure of the protection system’s primary power.
(2) When used, rechargeable batteries must be kept fully charged or subject to
automatic recharging whenever the voltage drops to a level specified by the
battery manufacturer. Non-rechargeable batteries must be replaced based
on manufacturer’s recommendations. The system must be capable of
generating a low-battery alarm that shall be transmitted to the CAS and
SAS unless the system is also on a UPS.
(3) Power sources must be tested in accordance with site procedures.
e. Uninterruptible Power Supply. UPS must be provided for systems requiring
continuous power and considered for systems that, if interrupted, would degrade
the protection of the associated security area to an unacceptable level.
4. LIGHTING. Lighting systems are deployed for detection and assessment of
unauthorized persons. Protective system lighting, as defined in the SSP, should be
applied consistent with the following principles:
a. enable assessment of unauthorized activities and/or persons at pedestrian and
vehicular entrances and allow examination of DOE security badges and
inspections of personnel, hand-carried items, packages, and vehicles;
b. be positioned so that PF personnel are not spotlighted, blinded, or silhouetted by
the lights, and the lighting placement and design should enhance, not minimize,
PF night-vision capabilities;
c. ensure that compensatory measures are implemented when the lighting system
fails;
d. be maintained and tested in accordance with locally approved procedures;
Page VIII-6 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
e. when possible not illuminate patrol paths other than at entry control points;
f. when applicable illuminate the area outside the fence line or barrier so that it will
expose anyone approaching the coverage area and limit the vision of anyone
outside of the fence or barrier;
g. complement the electro-optical/CCTV assessment systems;
Section 33
h. illuminate the area within the fence/barrier boundary or the exterior of a building;
i. be configured to impede open access to the lighting controls; and
j. allow for the rapid and reliable assessment of alarms from either the CCTV
system or response personnel.
5. LIGHTING FOR CATEGORY I AND II FACILITIES. Lights must support a 24-hour
visual assessment and provide, as a minimum, 2 foot-candle illumination at ground level
for at least a 30-feet (9.14-meters) diameter around PF posts and a minimum of 0.2-foot
candle illumination within the Perimeter Intrusion Detection and Assessment System
(PIDAS) isolation zone.
a. Sufficient lighting for assessment must be maintained on the PIDAS sensor zones
and the clear zones for CCTV assessment and surveillance 24 hours a day. The
lighting must compliment the CCTV system in supporting its video assessment
capability.
b. Where protective lighting at remote locations is not feasible, PF patrols and/or
fixed posts must be equipped with night-vision and/or thermal imaging devices.
Night-vision and/or thermal imaging devices should not be used routinely in lieu
of protective lighting at entrances and exits but may be used if lighting is lost.
c. Light glare must be minimized whenever possible.
d. Light sources on protected perimeters must be located so that illumination is
directed outward so that the PF is not blinded or silhouetted.
e. When back-up emergency lighting is used, it must be periodically tested to ensure
that it will function as configured for a specified sustained period.

Chapter IX - SECURE STORAGE
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
a. Secure Storage. The storage requirements for classified matter can be found in
the NNSA Information Security NAP.
b. Access Controls. Access to vaults and closed areas (CAs) must be strictly
controlled and based on an appropriate security clearance and need-to-know.
(1) Need-to-know includes incidental access, i.e., access granted to individuals
who handle or come into contact with classified matter but whose job
functions do not include review or other use of the classified matter.
(2) Means of controlling access must be documented in a Site Security Plan
(SSP).
c. Miscellaneous Openings. All vents, ducts and similar openings into CAs that
measure in excess of 96 square inches (619.20 square centimeters) and over 6
inches (15.24 centimeters) in their smallest dimension and/or the opening is
located within 18 feet (5.48 meters) of the ground, roof, or ledge of a lower
security area must be protected with either ½-inch diameter steel bars with a
maximum space of 6 inches between the bars; grills consisting of 18-gauge
expanded metal, wire mesh; or an equivalent gauge metal duct barrier; or
alternative measures as approved by the cognizant security authority (CSA). The
barriers must be secured to preclude removal from outside the area, and the
method of installation must ensure that classified matter cannot be removed
through the openings with the aid of any type of instrument. A barrier will not be
required if an approved intrusion detection system (IDS) provides protection of
the opening.
2. VAULTS AND CLOSED AREAS. The standards required for construction of vaults and
CAs, other than General Services Administration (GSA)-approved modular vaults, apply
to all new construction, reconstruction, alterations, modifications and repairs.
Vault construction standards must comply with Federal Standard 832, Construction
Methods and Materials for Vaults.
Section 34
CA construction standards must comply with the requirements of this NNSA Policy. The
CSA must approve all construction types and the methods used before the storage of
classified matter or safeguards and security (S&S) interests is authorized.
a. Vaults. A vault must be a penetration-resistant, windowless enclosure that has
doors, walls, floor, and roof/ceiling designed and constructed to significantly
delay penetration from forced entry and equipped with IDS devices on openings
allowing access. The material thickness must be determined by the requirement
for forcible entry delay times for the S&S interests stored within but must not be
Page IX-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
less than the delay time provided by a minimum 8-inch (20.3 2-centimeters)-thick
reinforced concrete poured in place, with a minimum 28-day compressive
strength of 2,500 pounds per square inch (17,237 kilopascal). Technologies such
as activated barriers or passive/active denial systems may be used in lieu of
thicker concrete when analysis indicates that delay times exceeding that of 8-inch
(20.3 2-centimeters)-thick reinforced concrete are required. The site’s analysis of
protection measures used must be documented in its SSP. For new vault
construction, Federal Standard 832, Federal Standard Construction Methods and
Materials for Vaults must be used.
(1) Vault Door. A vault door and frame must meet the GSA’s highest level of
penetration resistance. The lock on the door must be a minimum of a GSA-
approved lock.
(2) Wall Penetrations. Any miscellaneous openings of a size and shape to
permit unauthorized entry (larger than 96 square inches [619.2 square
centimeters] in area and more than 6 inches [15.24 centimeters] in its
smallest dimension) must be equipped with barriers such as wire mesh,
9-gauge expanded metal or rigid steel bars at least 0.5 inches
(1.3 centimeters) in diameter secured in a way to prevent unauthorized
removal; e.g., welded vertically and horizontally 6 inches
(15.24 centimeters) on center. The rigid steel bars must be securely
fastened at both ends to preclude removal. Where used, wire mesh,
expanded metal, or rigid steel bars must be mounted so that special nuclear
material (SNM) cannot be removed. The annular space between the sleeve
and the pipe or conduit must be filled to show evidence of surreptitious
removal.
(3) Modular Vaults. A modular vault approved by the GSA may be used in
lieu of a vault for the storage of classified matter. The modular vault must
be equipped with a GSA-approved vault door with locks and intrusion
detection alarms as specified in paragraph 4 of this Chapter.
b. Closed Areas. Due to the size and nature of the classified matter, or for
operational necessity, it may be necessary to construct CAs for storage because
GSA-approved containers or vaults are unsuitable or impractical. Access to CAs
must be controlled to preclude unauthorized access. This may be accomplished
through the use of a cleared person or by a supplanting access control device or
system. Access shall be limited to authorized persons who have an appropriate
security clearance and a need-to-know for the classified matter/information within
the area. Persons without the appropriate level of clearance and/or need-to-know
shall be escorted at all times by an authorized person where inadvertent or
unauthorized exposure to classified information cannot otherwise be effectively
prevented. CAs storing TOP SECRET and SECRET matter shall be accorded
supplemental protection during non-working hours. During non-working hours
and during working hours when the area is unattended, admittance to the area
shall be controlled by locked entrances and exits secured by either an approved
Section 35
NAP-70.2 Page IX-3
07-02-10
built-in combination lock or an approved combination or key-operated padlock.
Alternate locks for a CA protecting classified matter inside a PA may be approved
by the CSA. It is not necessary to activate the supplemental controls during
working hours. Doors secured from the inside with a panic bolt (for example,
actuated by a panic bar, a dead bolt, a rigid wood or metal bar) or other means
approved by the CSA, will not require additional locking devices.
(1) Procedures will be developed and implemented to ensure the structural
integrity of CAs above false ceilings and below raised floors.
(2) Open shelf or bin storage of SECRET and CONFIDENTIAL documents in
CAs requires CSA approval. For SECRET matter only areas protected by
an approved IDS will qualify for such approval. Open shelf or bin storage
of TOP SECRET documents is not permitted.
(3) The CSA may grant self-approval authority to the Facility Security Officer
(FSO) for CA approvals provided the FSO meets specified qualification
criteria as determined by the CSA.
(a) Hardware. Only heavy-gauge hardware shall be used in
construction. Hardware accessible from outside the area shall be
peened, pinned, brazed or spot welded to preclude removal.
(b) Floors and Walls. Construction may be of material offering
resistance to, evidence of, unauthorized entry into the area. If
insert-type panels are used, a method shall be devised to prevent
the removal of such panels without leaving visual evidence of
tampering. If visual access is a factor, area barrier walls shall be of
opaque or translucent construction.
(c) Windows. Windows that can be opened and that are less than 18
feet from an access point (for example, another window outside the
area, roof, ledge, or door) shall be fitted with ½-inch bars
(separated by no more than 6 inches), plus crossbars to prevent
spreading, 18-guage expanded metal or wire mesh securely
fastened area on the inside and made non-removable if mounted on
the exterior of the CA. When visual access of classified
information is a factor, the windows shall be covered by any
practical method, such as drapes, blinds, or paint covering the
inside of the glass. During nonworking hours, the windows shall
be closed and securely fastened to impede surreptitious entry.
(d) Doors. Doors shall be constructed of material offering resistance
to and detection of unauthorized entry. When windows, louvers,
baffle plates, or similar openings are used, they shall be secured
with 18-gauge expanded metal or with wire mesh securely fastened
Page IX-4 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
on the inside and made non-removable if mounted on the exterior
of the CA. If visual access is a factor, the windows shall be
covered. When doors are used in pairs, an astragal (overlapping
molding) shall be installed where the doors meet.
(e) Ceilings. Ceilings shall be constructed of material offering
resistance to and detection of unauthorized entry. Wire mesh or
other non-opaque material offering similar resistance to, and
evidence of, unauthorized entry into the area may be used if visual
access to classified matter is not a factor.
Section 36
(f) Ceilings (Unusual Cases). When wall barriers do not extend to the
true ceiling and a false ceiling is created, the false ceiling must be
reinforced with wire mesh or 18-gauge expanded metal to serve as
the true ceiling or ceiling tiles must be secured. When wire mesh
or expanded metal is used, it must overlap the adjoining walls and
be secured in a manner that precludes removal without leaving
evidence of tampering. When wall barriers of an area do extend to
the true ceiling and a false ceiling is added, there is no necessity
for reinforcing the false ceiling. When there is a valid justification
for not erecting a solid ceiling as part of the area, such as the use of
overhead cranes for the movement of bulky equipment within the
area, the contractor shall ensure that surreptitious entry cannot be
obtained by entering the area over the top of the barrier walls.
3. CA ROOM COMPLEX. CA S&S criteria may be extended to multiple rooms including
an entire building. CA room complexes must meet the standards and construction
requirements identified in paragraph 2 above.
a. Interior walls may extend to a false ceiling and/or raised floor. Interior doors,
windows, and openings may exist between different work areas. The requirement
to detect unauthorized access may be accomplished through direct visual
observation by an individual authorized in the area, or through intrusion detection
sensors or other systems as approved by the CSA.
b. Protective measures must be consistent with requirements for CA IDS (paragraph
4. below), but implemented at the building level.
4. IDS. IDSs are required for vaults and CAs and in some instances where certain types of
containers are used to store S&S interests. For CAs and vaults protecting SECRET
matter in a PA, the PIDAS meets the requirement for an IDS. The IDS must be placed in
secure mode at the end of daily operations.
a. Vaults. Doors or openings allowing access into vaults must be equipped with IDS
devices. A balanced magnetic switch (BMS) or other equally effective device
must be used on each door or engineered opening to allow detection of attempted
or actual unauthorized access.
NAP-70.2 Page IX-5
07-02-10
b. CAs protecting SNM must be able to provide effective protection against credible
malevolent attacks and other hostile actions. Appropriate controls will be
implemented based on site needs as identified in the GSP.
c. CAs Protecting Classified Matter and when used for Category III and IV SNM. A
BMS or equivalent device and volumetric or equivalent coverage must be used on
each door or engineered opening to allow detection of attempted or actual
unauthorized access. A CA within a PA does not require an IDS.
d. CAs Protecting Category I and II SNM. A BMS or equivalent device must be
used on each door or engineered opening. The security interest must be
surrounded by an IDS or the IDS must be able to detect penetration of the entire
surrounding perimeter such that physical access is detected via any credible
pathway as approved by the CSA. If the CA is within a Material Access Area
(MAA), detection coverage for the CA may be provided by IDS both inside the
CA and/or outside the CA but within the MAA.
Section 37
5. SECURITY CONTAINERS. The GSA establishes the national standards and
specifications for commercially manufactured security containers or cabinets. Containers
purchased after July 14, 1994, must conform to the latest GSA standards and
specifications. Steel filing cabinets with rigid metal lock bar and approved three position,
dial-type, changeable combination locks, purchased and approved for storage of SECRET
matter may continue to be used until October 1, 2012. If steel filing cabinets are used to
store classified matter, the supplemental controls specified in the NNSA Information
Security NAP must be implemented.
a. Requirements.
(1) Label and Mark. A security container must bear a test certification label on
the inside of the locking drawer or door and must be marked “GSA-
Approved Security Container” on the outside of the top drawer or door.
(2) Maintenance. A history for each security container describing damage
sustained and repairs accomplished must be recorded on Optional Form 89,
Maintenance Record for Security Containers/Vault Doors and retained for
the life of the security container.
b. Damage and Repair of GSA-Approved Security Containers. Neutralizing lock-
outs or repairing any damage that affects the integrity of a security container
approved for the storage of classified matter must be conducted by cleared or
escorted safe technicians or locksmiths.
(1) Requirements in Federal Standard 809, Neutralization and Repair of GSA
Approved Containers, must be met for neutralization and repair of GSA-
approved containers and vault doors.
Page IX-6 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
(2) Physically modified containers are not approved by GSA.
6. NON-CONFORMING STORAGE. Non-conforming storage is a means of providing
equivalent storage protection for classified matter that cannot be protected by established
standards and requirements due to size, nature, operational necessity, or other factors.
Authority and protection requirements for non-conforming storage are provided in the
NNSA Information Security NAP.
NAP-70.2 Page X-1

Chapter X - INTRUSION DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. Where applicable, intrusion detection and assessment
systems may be used to protect classified matter and Category III or higher special
nuclear material (SNM) and other safeguards and security (S&S) interests as identified in
the Site Security Plan (SSP). Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are required for vaults,
closed areas (CAs), and, in some instances where certain types of containers are used.
For CAs and vaults protecting Secret matter in a Protected Area (PA), the Perimeter
Intrusion Detection and Assessment System (PIDAS) meets the requirement for an IDS.
IDS must protect the security interests as defined in Chapter IX.
a. IDSs must perform in all environmental conditions and under all types of lighting
conditions as defined in the SSP, otherwise compensatory measures must be
implemented.
b. An effective method must be established for assessing all IDS alarms to determine
the cause in a timely manner.
c. Closed circuit television assessment cameras used as primary assessment for
alarms should be fixed (i.e., not pan or tilt) with fixed focal length lenses or may
have a zoom capability.
d. Response capability to IDS alarms must be provided by assigned protective force
(PF) personnel, by local law enforcement agency, or other authorized personnel as
documented in the SSP.
e. For performance testing requirements, see Chapter VI.
Section 38
f. The false and nuisance alarm threshold rates are determined after analysis and
evaluation. The cognizant security authority (CSA) develops written false alarm
rates/nuisance alarm rates parameters based on the analysis and site-specific
conditions, seeking to achieve “As Low As Reasonably Achievable” levels.
Absent a documented risk analysis the following minimum requirements must be
applied:
(1) Each interior intrusion detection sensor should not have a false or nuisance
alarm rate of more than one alarm per 2400 hours of operation while
maintaining proper detection sensitivity.
(2) Each exterior intrusion detection sensor should not have a false or nuisance
alarm rate of more than one alarm per 24 hours of operation while maintaining
proper detection sensitivity.
(3) Interior IDS used to protect munitions/explosives storage igloos/bunkers
should not have false or nuisance alarm rates exceeding one alarm per 400
hours of operation while maintaining proper detection sensitivity.
Page X-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
g. The IDS must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained to ensure that the
number of false and nuisance alarm do not reduce confidence level.
h. Each alarm occurrence, regardless of the cause, must be documented for analysis
and trending purposes.
i. The IDS must be designed, where economically feasible, with independent
redundant data communication paths for protecting S&S interests. The paths
must be documented in an SSP or protection procedures, consistent with Table 1,
Line Supervision Protection.
2. INTERIOR IDS REQUIREMENTS. The following requirements apply to interior IDS:
a. Interior Systems. Interior systems must be designed, installed, and maintained to
detect adversaries.
b. Balanced Magnetic Switches (BMSs). BMSs must initiate an alarm upon
attempted substitution of an external magnetic field when the switch is in the
normal secured position and whenever the leading edge of the door is moved 1
inch (2.5 centimeters) from the door jamb or when the back edge clears the jamb.
c. Volumetric Devices. Volumetric sensors must detect an individual walking at a
rate of 1 foot per second within the total field of view of the sensor and its plane
of detection.
3. EXTERIOR IDS REQUIREMENTS. The IDS must be capable of detecting an
individual crossing the detection zone by walking, crawling, jumping, running, or rolling,
or climbing the fence at any point in the detection zone, with a detection consistent with
vulnerability assessments .
When calculating detection probability for multiple sensor technology systems, detection
is assumed if any of the sensors/zones report an intrusion.
4. RADIO FREQUENCY ALARM COMMUNICATIONS. Radio frequency alarm
communications are appropriate when used for the protection of government property
and classified matter. An IDS may use radio frequency communications to transmit
alarm and other data for alarms, video, and other data utilized by the IDS provided:
a. The data being transmitted are not classified.
b. The data being transmitted are protected consistent with the program office cyber
security plan and DOE requirements (see DOE M 205.1-3, Telecommunications
Security Manual, dated 4-17-06).
5. PROTECTION OF IDS.
a. General Requirements. System components protecting sensitive
compartmentalized information facilities, special access program facility, SNM
NAP-70.2 Page X-3
07-02-10
Section 39
and classified matter activities must be protected with tamper indication in both
the access and the secure modes. Tamper indication is required for intrusion
detection/alarm devices. Tamper switch wiring must be as listed below.
(1) Communication links, data gathering panel/field processors and associated
equipment must be provided with tamper detection switches on enclosure
covers wired to a 24-hour circuit. The wiring must be protected from
unauthorized access per Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard 681,
Standard for Installation and Classification of Burglar and Holdup Alarm
Systems.
(2) All tamper switches (e.g., sensors, processors, cable terminal boxes, control
units, etc.) must be wired into a 24-hour circuit. More than one switch may
be wired to a single circuit if the switches are located in the same general
area.
(3) The switches may be wired as part of the line supervision circuit per UL
Standard 681. However, tamper switches may be wired independent of line
supervision circuits for hazardous areas, radiological controlled areas,
SNM storage vaults, and other areas where testing and maintenance cost
would be offset by using a separate circuit.
(4) Commercial central alarm station service firms must issue a current UL
certification commensurate with the contracted service and must maintain
this UL certification as long as the service is provided to the facility. For
the protection of classified matter UL Standard 2050, National Industrial
Security Systems for the Protection of Classified Materials, should be
implemented and a certificate issued for compliance with the UL standard.
For other non-classified matter applications, UL Standard 1076,
Proprietary Burglar-Alarm Units and Systems, should be implemented and
a certificate issued for compliance with the UL standard.
b. Enclosures and Junction Boxes. Permanent junction boxes, field distribution
boxes, cable terminal boxes, and cabinets (equipment that terminates, splices, and
groups interior or exterior IDS input or that could allow tampering, spoofing,
bypassing, or other system sabotage) must be afforded tamper protection or
tamper-resistant hardware. Tamper switches must provide a tamper indication to
the annunciators. Manholes and other enclosures, if serving as a junction box for
data communication cables, must be protected from unauthorized access.
c. Line Supervision. Line supervision is required for IDSs protecting S&S interests.
For property protection areas, line supervision may be provided consistent with a
documented cost/benefit analysis as determined by the CSA. Where data
encryption is used, key changes must be made annually (at least every 12 months)
and whenever compromise is suspected. The requirements for line supervision
are listed in Table 1, Line Supervision Protection. In the event line security is not
Page X-4 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
available, the equipment that is utilized to transmit and receive signals between
the protected area and the monitoring location shall comply with either UL
Standard 1076 or UL Standard 1610.
(1) Line Supervision Options. Different combinations of line supervision are
allowed depending on link routing:
(a) An alarm communication link remaining within the security area
and alarm communication link going through a lower security area.
(b) Line supervision is required for the two primary segments of alarm
data transmission: from sensor to data gathering panel (DGP)/field
processor and from DGP/field processor to DGP/field processor or
the central processing unit.
Section 40
(2) Classes of Line Supervision. Performance-based definitions are listed
below in descending order of protection.
(a) In general, digital communications (UL Classes A through C),
apply to alarm communication links between DGPs/field
processors, between DGPs/field processors and central alarm
computers or alarm annunciator panels, and between computers.
1. For Class A, the data transmission must comply with DOE
requirements (see DOE M 205.1-3, Telecommunications
Security Manual, dated 4-17-06).
2. For Class B, data must be transmitted by one of the following:
a encryption using a proprietary encryption scheme
that results in non-repetitive communications,
b pseudo-random polling scheme, non-encryption
over fiber optic cable enclosed in conduit, or
c non-encryption over fiber optic cable monitored by
an optical supervision system.
3. For Class C, unencrypted data transmissions include:
a RS-232, RS-485, etc., data transmission standard,
b standard repetitive polling schemes, and
c exception reporting with repetitive polling for
health checks.
NAP-70.2 Page X-5
07-02-10
(b) In general, analog signals (UL Classes D through F) apply to alarm
communication links between a sensor and a field processor.
1. Class D supervision must combine various frequencies of
alternating current (AC), be pulsed direct current (DC) or be a
combination of AC and DC.
2. Class E supervision must be an AC signal.
3. Class F supervision must be a DC signal.
(3) Protecting Alarm Wiring. Physical protection of alarm wiring outside of a
vault or CA must be as listed below.
(a) Protection for communication links must meet the supervised
circuit requirements for the National Electric Code for protection
from damage (see UL Standard 681).
(b) Wiring must be protected from access under the following
conditions:
1. for runs between the sensor and the field processor, when the
wiring is under Class F line supervision;
2. wiring protecting Top Secret;
3. when the DGP/field processor is outside of the area being
protected.
(c) Acceptable methods for protecting alarm system wiring are as
follows:
1. a totally concealed or embedded conduit system;
2. junction boxes, pull boxes and other openings sealed by
welding, epoxy-sealed threads, locked cover plates, tamper-
resistant screws, or tamper alarm switches;
3. alarm coverage of all wiring; or,
4. armored cable/wire, compression coupled, electro-mechanical
tubing or threaded conduit.
d. Alarm Annunciation.
(1) Line supervision alarms Classes A through C must annunciate in central
alarm station (CAS)/secondary alarm station (SAS) indicating the type of
Page X-6 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
alarm (data error, loss of communication, tamper, etc.) and the affected
equipment.
(2) Sensor to DGP/field processor (Classes C through F) line supervision
alarms must annunciate in both the CAS and SAS, indicating the sensor or
sensors affected.
(3) PF personnel must be put on alert, and system maintenance personnel must
be notified, when line supervision alarms indicate a loss of a
communications path of a redundant system.
(4) Line supervision alarm, tamper alarm, or radio frequency alarm events
(e.g., “statement-of-health” alarm, sensor alarm, tamper alarm, and radio
frequency jamming indications) must be treated the same as an intrusion
alarm for the area being protected.
(5) Maintenance personnel must be notified of a tamper or line supervision
alarm, and the alarm condition must be assessed by PF response personnel.
Section 41
(6) Compensatory measures must be implemented to protect the alarmed
location until required testing and repairs are completed.

6. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR CATEGORY I AND II QUANTITIES OF SNM.
Nuclear weapons and Category I and II quantities of SNM must be protected by an
integrated physical protection system using protective force, barriers, and Intrusion
Detection and Assessment Systems (IDAS).
a. Protecting SNM. The following requirements apply for alarms protecting
Category I and II quantities of SNM.
(1) Interior or exterior IDASs must be designed with independent, redundant
data communication lines.
NAP-70.2 Page X-7
07-02-10
(2) Intrusion detection and assessment must meet vulnerability assessment
requirements.
(3) The video signal must be protected based on the classification level. Video
signal protection would include video signal encryption for conditions
wherein video coverage cannot be masked from viewing classified matter.
(4) IDAS must function effectively in all environmental conditions and under
all types of lighting conditions or compensatory measures must be
implemented.
7. PERIMETER INTRUSION DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (PIDAS).
a. Exterior IDS. The location of communication lines must be documented in the
SSP consistent with Table 1, Line Supervision Protection. PIDAS must use
multilayered, complementary intrusion detection sensors consistent with the
vulnerability assessment.
b. Detection Capability. A security area PIDAS must be capable of detecting an
individual crossing the detection zone walking, crawling, jumping, running, or
rolling at speeds between 1 to 16 feet (0.15 and 5 meters) per second or climbing
the fence, if applicable, at any point in the protection zone with a detection
probability of 90% and at a 95% confidence level.
(1) When calculating sensing probability for multiple sensor systems, detection
is assumed if any of the sensors report an intrusion.
(2) Additional operability and effectiveness testing must be conducted and
documented in the SSP (see DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1, Safeguards and
Security Program Planning and Management, dated 3-7-06).
c. PIDAS. The PIDAS surrounding the Protected Area must be monitored in a
continuously manned central alarm station and a secondary alarm station. PIDAS
must be:
(1) designed to cover the entire perimeter without a gap in detection, including
the walls and roofs of structures situated within the designated security
area;
(2) located such that the length of each detection zone is consistent with the
characteristics of the sensors used in that zone and the topography;
(3) designed, installed, and maintained to prevent adversaries from
circumventing the detection system;
Page X-8 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
(4) systems installed after July 15, 1994 must, where economically feasible,
use redundant, independently routed, or separate communication paths to
avoid a single-point failure;
Section 42
(5) provided with an isolation zone at least 20 feet (6 meters) wide and clear of
fabricated or natural objects that would interfere with operation of
detection systems or the effectiveness of the assessment, or provide the
equivalent detection and delay to meet the protection system effectiveness
as described in the SSP; and
(6) free of wires, piping, poles, and similar objects that could be used to assist
an intruder traversing the isolation zone or that could assist in the
undetected ingress or egress of an adversary or matter.
d. PIDAS Zone Degradation. Each PIDAS detection zone must be kept free of
snow, ice, grass, weeds, debris, wildlife, and any other item that may degrade the
effectiveness of the system. When this cannot be accomplished and detection
capabilities become degraded, compensatory measures must be taken.
e. Early Warning Intrusion Long Range Detection. Sites may use early warning
intrusion detection to supplement their PIDAS as a means of achieving increased
adversary detection and improved overall system performance. The false and
nuisance alarm rates, degradation, and detection area maintenance requirements
of a PIDAS do not apply to early warning systems. Each individual early warning
or extended range exterior intrusion detection sensor must have false and nuisance
alarm rates that do not degrade the overall effectiveness of the system, including
monitoring personnel's ability to assess and manage alarms, and be documented in
the SSP.

Chapter XI - ALARM MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. This Chapter establishes requirements for integrated
physical protection systems protecting special nuclear material (SNM) and/or classified
matter where required. When intrusion detection system (IDS) sensors are used to
protect safeguards and security (S&S) interests the sensors must annunciate directly to
alarm stations when an alarm is activated.
2. ALARM STATIONS. Alarm stations must provide a capability for monitoring and
assessing alarms and initiating responses to S&S events.
a. Alarm station personnel must be knowledgeable of alarm station procedures and
the emergency notification procedures and be familiar with the area being
protected.
b. Tamper and supervisory alarms must be assessed by authorized personnel and
technical/maintenance support personnel in accordance with local procedures.
c. Alarm stations must indicate the status of the systems and annunciate a status
change. The system must indicate the type and location of the alarm.
d. Records must be kept of each alarm received in the alarm station and of any
maintenance activities conducted on the alarm system or any of the related
components.
e. Personnel manning the alarm station must possess an appropriate security
clearance (i.e., Q or L) commensurate with the most sensitive interest under the
protection of the alarm station.
f. Access control systems must ensure admission of only authorized personnel into
the alarm station.
g. Alarms must annunciate both audibly and visibly to an alarm station.
h. Multiple alarms must be prioritized based on the importance of the S&S interests.
i. If response to an alarm activity by local law enforcement agencies/security
personnel is permitted, then the alarm company/service must meet the
specifications contained in Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard 827,
Standard for Central-Station Alarm Services.
Section 43
3. COMMERCIAL ALARM STATIONS. Commercial alarms service firms must issue a
current UL certification commensurate with the contracted service and must maintain this
UL certification as long as the service is provided to the facility. For the protection of
classified matter UL Standard 2050, National Industrial Security Systems for the
Protection of Classified Materials, should be implemented and a certificate issued for
compliance with the UL standard.
Page XI-2 NAP-70.2

4. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROTECTION OF CATEGORY I AND II
SNM. The requirements for S&S alarm management and control systems used in the
protection of Category I and II quantities of SNM and installed and operational after
January 1, 2008, are contained in DOE M 470.4-2A, Physical Protection, dated 7-23-09.
This chapter establishes requirements for integrated physical protection systems
protecting nuclear weapons, components, and Category I and II SNM. Facilities with
Category I and II quantities of SNM, or other high-consequence targets as identified by
VAs, must have a central alarm station (CAS) and a secondary alarm station (SAS). All
intrusion detection system (IDS) sensors must annunciate to CAS/SAS when an alarm
point is activated. Systems installed after July 15, 1994, must, where feasible, use
redundant, independently routed, or separate communication paths to avoid a single-point
failure. The perimeter intrusion detection and assessment system (PIDAS) surrounding
the Protected Area must be monitored in a continuously manned CAS and SAS.
a. CAS.
(1) The CAS must be attended continually.
(2) The CAS and SAS must be physically separated.
(3) The CAS must be designed as a hardened post, located within a limited
area (LA) or greater security area and manned 24 hours a day.
(4) CAS must be protected against threats as defined and documented in the
Site Security Plan.
(5) Entryways must be controlled from within the alarm station.
b. SAS. The SAS must be used as an alternative alarm annunciation point to the
CAS and be manned 24 hours a day so that a response can be initiated if the CAS
cannot perform its intended function.
(1) The SAS need not be fully redundant to the CAS but must be capable of
providing full command and control in response to S&S events (see
General Requirements above).
(2) The SAS may be located in a Property Protection Area.
5. CLOSED-CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV) SYSTEM. CCTV assessment systems must
be functional under day, night, overcast, and artificial lighting conditions. The system
must provide a clear and suitable image for assessment.
a. Primary Assessment. When used as the primary means of alarm assessment and
to determine response level, the system requirements are listed below.
(1) CCTV systems must annunciate when the video signal from the camera is
disrupted or lost.
NAP-70.2 Page XI-3
07-02-10
(2) The video subsystem must be integrated with the CAS/SAS alarm display
systems.
(3) The system must have the capability to automatically switch to the camera
associated with the alarm event and to display that event for operator
assessment.
(4) Video recorders must be actuated by the intrusion alarm and record
automatically.
(5) Video recorder response time must be rapid enough to record the actual
intrusion, be able to capture sufficient information for alarm assessment.
(6) Video assessment coverage must be complete (e.g., no gaps between zones
or areas that cannot be assessed because of shadows or objects blocking the
camera’s field of view).
Section 44
(7) CCTV used for primary assessment must be tamper protected and use fixed
cameras with fixed focal length lenses that provide a clear image for
assessment (pan tilt and zoom cameras may be used if in a locked
configuration) Pan tilt and zoom cameras may be used for surveillance.
(8) CCTV systems must use real-time signal or near real-time transmission of
camera views.
(9) The video system must accept manual override of automatic features. This
capability permits the operation of a CCTV camera associated with another
event.
(10) When CCTV systems are used, the alarm control system must be able to
call the operators’ attention to an alarm associated video recorder/monitor.
(11) The video assessment must be supported by sufficient lighting or other
means necessary to facilitate alarm assessment.
(12) The picture quality must allow the operator to recognize and discriminate
between human and animal presence in the camera field of view.
NAP-70.2 Page XII-1

Chapter XII - ENTRY/EXIT SCREENING
1. GENERAL. Inspections are mandatory in Protected Areas (PAs) and Material Access
Areas (MAAs). Random inspections are to be conducted at other designated security
area boundaries. The cognizant security authority (CSA) must determine the locations
and scope of the screening program at other than PA and MAA boundaries. An
inspection program is to deter prohibited and controlled articles being brought into U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) facilities. All personnel, vehicles, packages and hand-
carried articles are subject to inspection at security areas. These programs are to protect
Department assets and interests from unauthorized removal without management
authorization. Any entry/exit inspection program must be documented in a Site Security
Plan (SSP) or procedure.
a. Passage of individuals, vehicles, and/or packages or mail through entry control
point inspection equipment must be observed and controlled by trained designated
personnel.
b. Inspection equipment can include handheld and/or portable detectors, metal
detectors, special nuclear material (SNM) detectors, explosive detectors, and x-
ray systems and must assist security personnel in ensuring that prohibited and
controlled articles will be detected before being brought into or removed from
DOE facilities.
c. Entrance inspections of personnel, vehicles, packages, and hand-carried items
must be performed to deter and detect prohibited and controlled articles.
(1) Bypass routes around inspection equipment must be closed or monitored to
deter unauthorized passage of personnel and hand-carried articles.
(2) Measures are to be instituted to correctly maintain control settings on all
entry/exit control point inspection equipment.
(3) Equipment, to include portal monitors, must have audible and visual alarms
monitored by on-post trained personnel.
(4) Ingress/egress points must be designed to preclude commingling of
searched and unsearched personnel.
d. Passage of individuals, vehicles, and/or packages or mail through entry control
points must be inspected prior to entry. Hand-held and/or portable detectors, etc.
must be available to resolve alarms and be available for use during inspection
equipment failures.
2. ENTRY INSPECTIONS. Metal detectors used for entry inspection must detect test
weapons listed in Chapter VI.
Page XII-2 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
a. Explosives Detection.
Section 45
(1) Sites must analyze their facilities to determine the potential for an
adversary to use explosives to affect consequences and show that sufficient
protective measures have been implemented to reduce the risk of a
successful attack. The specific location of the screening will be determined
by the CSA. In any instance it must be before gaining access to a PA.
(2) If the analysis determines that explosive detection is required, explosive
detection equipment must be able to detect explosives as identified in the
SSP. The SSP must document the analysis that establishes a facility’s
capability to detect explosives and provides protection against the
malicious use of explosives.
(3) Documentation must include the rationale for explosive detection
equipment/systems selection, deployment, and use.
b. Metal Detection.
(1) Metal detection must be used in the entry process at all designated
protected area boundaries.
(2) X-ray machines may be used to supplement metal detectors and protective
personnel hand searches for prohibited and controlled articles.
3. EXIT INSPECTIONS. Personnel, vehicles, and hand-carried items including packages,
briefcases, purses, and lunch containers are to be inspected to deter and detect
unauthorized removal of classified matter or other safeguards and security interests from
PAs. The CSA is to determine whether the inspections will be conducted at the PA or
MAA. The determination will be documented in a SSP.
a. SNM detectors used in the inspection process must be able to detect unauthorized
removal of SNM as defined by the SSP.
b. SNM detectors and metal detectors must be used in a combination that precludes
the opportunity to defeat the detectors individually and/or when used to inspect
personnel for prohibited and controlled articles.
c. Metal detectors used in the exit inspection process must ensure shielded SNM is
not removed without authorization.
d. Specific inspection procedures and the approach to responding to alarms with
limitations and thresholds for SNM detectors must be established and documented
in the SSP or a procedure.
e. Exit inspection procedures must be written to ensure the following.
NAP-70.2 Page XII-3
07-02-10
(1) Identification of detection thresholds for security interests. The thresholds
must be consistent with the type, form, quantity, attractiveness level, size,
configuration, portability, and credible diversion amounts of articles or
property contained within the area.
(2) The detection of shielded SNM (e.g., by using entry control point screening
system equipment in a combination that precludes the opportunity to defeat
the detectors individually).
(3) Entry control points without the means to detect unauthorized removal of
material are not used to exit except in emergencies where equivalent
protection measures are implemented when emergency exits are used (e.g.,
searches are conducted at an assembly area).
(4) Explosive vapor detectors and metal detectors should be used in a
combination that precludes the opportunity to defeat the detectors
individually at designated area boundaries and when used to inspect
personnel for explosives or other prohibited/controlled articles.
(5) Entry control point systems must allow the authorized entry and exit of
personnel while detecting prohibited and controlled articles. Entry control
point configuration must have separate material package inspection
areas/stations for inspecting personnel, packages, and hand-carried items.
The following design criteria apply:
Section 46
(a) Entry/exit point inspection monitors must be collocated with
designated security posts to facilitate the initiation of a response to
an alarm.
(b) Security posts must be designed with an unobstructed view or
camera coverage to facilitate observation of any attempt to bypass
systems.
(c) PA/MAA entrances/exits must be equipped with intrusion
detection (either in the entrance/exits) sensors or controlled at all
times to notify of unauthorized use.
f. Emergency Personnel and Vehicles. Emergency personnel and vehicles may be
authorized for immediate entry to the PA in response to an emergency if
conditions and procedures for immediate entry are documented in the SSP.
(1) The protective force or other designated site personnel must maintain
continuous surveillance of all emergency vehicles that enter the site.
(2) If the emergency condition prevents an exit inspection before departing the
site, an escort must be provided, and both personnel and emergency
Page XII-4 NAP-70.2
07-02-10
vehicles must be inspected as soon as the emergency is over. If an escort is
not provided, provisions must be made for continuous surveillance of all
emergency vehicles that enter the PA.
(3) As described in the NNSA Information Security NAP, local procedures
must be developed for safeguarding classified matter from inadvertent
access by uncleared personnel, or cleared persons who do not have a need-
to-know, during emergencies.
NAP-70.2 Page XIII-1

ATTACHMENT 1 – DOE SECURITY BADGE PROGRAM
1. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) security badges
issued to Federal and contractor employees have been determined to be the Department’s
Federal Agency identity credential. Within the DOE, a Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-12 (HSPD-12) credential, hereafter referred to as the DOE security badge, must
be issued to and worn by all DOE and contractor personnel (cleared and specified
uncleared personnel, as further detailed below) who require access to DOE facilities. The
DOE security badge is to replace the existing DOE standard security badge. Existing
DOE standard security badges may be used until the new DOE security badge has been
completely implemented within DOE. The DOE implementation of the new DOE
security badge requirements are based on the Personal Identity Verification (PIV)
guidance issued by DOE Notice or its successor (see DOE N 206.4, Personal Identity
Verification, dated 6-29-07). A local site-specific only (LSSO) badge is permitted for
local site use. The Office of Science (SC) badge may only be used at specified SC
facilities by uncleared contractors. The LSSO and SC badges do not replace the DOE
security badge.
Section 48
a. DOE Badges. The following requirements apply.
(1) DOE security badges must be issued to all Federal employees and cleared
contractor employees and all DOE Headquarters (HQ) contractor
employees who require long-term (greater than 6 months) access to DOE
facilities or who have, or must have, a security clearance.
(2) LSSO badges may be developed and issued to address a variety of issues
and unique local badging requirements including local site-specific access
badge, temporary visitor badge, SC badge, foreign national badge, etc.
These badges are not HSPD-12-compliant and are not recognized as
meeting the requirements of the new DOE security badge.
(3) Specifications for the new DOE security badge are described in National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 800-104, A Scheme for PIV
Visual Card Topography. The identity verification and issue process is
described in a DOE Notice or its successor (see DOE N 206.4).
(4) Individuals who are awaiting an L or Q security clearance may be badged
using a LSSO badge. Once the security clearance is granted, the individual
must be issued a new DOE security badge.
(5) Employee identification cards must not be substituted for the new DOE
security badge or any of the site-issued or foreign national badges.
2. TYPE OF DOE BADGE.
a. DOE Federal and Contractor Employee Badges.
Attachment 1 NAP-70.2
Page 2 07-02-10
(1) New DOE security badges must be issued to DOE and contractor
employees (including subcontractors) who have been granted a security
clearance and who require access to DOE security areas or who have been
subjected to an HSPD-12 identity verification and suitability determination.
These badges must be used and accepted at all DOE sites and facilities (see
DOE M 470.4-5, Personnel Security, dated 8-26-05).
(2) Badges must be approved and authorized by the sponsoring site: Federal or
Maintenance and Operations contractor organization/badging authority
maintaining the badge holder applicant’s identity documentation. DOE
Agreements with other Federal departments and agencies for the
processing, replacement, and turn-in of the HSPD-compliant DOE security
badge have been established in order to fulfill the HSPD directive. These
arrangements must be documented in a procedure to include the provisions
for the protection of the personal information.
b. LSSO Badges.
(1) LSSO badges may be developed and issued to address a variety of local
issues and unique badging needs as identified in local procedures approved
by the cognizant security authority (CSA). This would include
subcontractors who do not require a security clearance or access to a DOE
site or facility for more than 6 continuous months, without limitation on the
contract performance period.
(2) LSSO badges include visitor badges, vendor badges, provisional badges,
foreign national badges, and other site-specific badges designed and
implemented to meet local requirements.
(3) Military and other Federal department and agency personnel who possess
HSPD-12 credentials/badges issued by their respective organizations and
who are assigned/detailed to DOE will be issued a LSSO badge.
(4) CSA must prescribe or approve procedures for the design, issuance, use,
accountability, and return of LSSO badges. LSSO badges must not
resemble the design or color of the new DOE security badge or the DOE
standard security badge.
c. Visitor Badges.
Section 49
(1) Military and other Federal department and agency personnel who possess
HSPD-12 credentials/badges issued by their respective organizations may,
at the discretion of the NNSACSA, be permitted entry to a property
protection area (PPA) without further badging. If there is a requirement for
entry beyond a PPA or access to special nuclear material (SNM), nuclear
weapons, or classified matter, the provisions of paragraph 2.c(3) below
must be followed. Even though the person possesses an HSPD-12
NAP-70.2 Attachment 1
07-02-10 Page 3
credential/badge, issued by another Federal department or agency, the DOE
visitation process must be followed.
(2) Cleared visitors may be issued an LSSO badge if they possess a Q or L
DOE security clearance or a Top Secret or Secret clearance granted by
another Federal department or agency. Individuals with valid HSPD-12
credentials do not require re-badging with DOE HSPD-12 badges.
Temporary/LSSO badges may be issued, if necessary. Classified visits
must be conducted in accordance with the requirements of DOE M 470.4-1,
Chg. 1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management,
Section L, Control of Classified Visits Program, dated 3-7-06. Before
badge issue, the status of clearance must be validated with the granting
department or agency.
(3) Military or other Federal department and agency personnel who are visitors
not provided with new DOE security badges or their department’s or
agency’s HSPD-12 credentials must follow the visitation procedures of the
site to be visited.
(4) Visitors possessing a security clearance who require access to a Limited
Area (LA), Protected Area (PA), and/or Material Access Area (MAA),
SNM, nuclear weapons or classified matter must submit a DOE F 5631.20,
“Request for Visit or Access Approval” (DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1) prior to
arriving at the Site.
d. Temporary Badges. Temporary badges may be issued to DOE and DOE
contractor employees under locally approved procedures. Temporary badges
must not resemble the DOE security badge and the DOE standard security badge.
Temporary badges must clearly indicate that the badge is temporary.
e. Foreign National Badges. Badges issued to foreign nationals will have a blue
horizontal name bar with the individual's name printed on the blue name bar
background. The badge should be processed as follows:
f. Cleared Foreign Nationals. Cleared foreign nationals may be issued DOE
security badges. The difference between the cleared foreign national badge and
the DOE security badge issued to U.S. citizens is that the individual’s name will
be printed on a blue name bar.
(1) The foreign national security badge must be approved and authorized by
the organization/badging authority holding the foreign national’s personnel
clearance file.
(2) Cleared foreign nationals must adhere to the requirements in DOE O 142.1,
Classified Visits Involving Foreign Nationals, dated 1-13-04 (see DOE M
470.4-1, Chg. 1).
Attachment 1 NAP-70.2
Page 4 07-02-10
(3) A foreign national may be badged at a DOE security clearance equivalent
to their country’s approved access level. The equivalent security clearance
level should be based on the Government-to-Government Agreement and
official validation by the foreign government of the person’s clearance (see
DOE O 142.1).
NOTE: If there is no equivalent DOE security clearance level, the foreign
national is badged as uncleared.
Section 50
(4) When a cleared foreign national with a DOE security badge, which is
marked with a security clearance identifier, needs to access another DOE
facility, the foreign national visit must adhere to the requirements of DOE
O 142.1 and the provisions of DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1.
g. Uncleared Foreign Nationals. Uncleared foreign nationals whose official duties
require routine or regular access to DOE facilities must be issued LSSO badges.
(1) A foreign national badge may be issued for unclassified site access after an
identity verification process has been completed by the foreign visits and
assignments staff of the organization sponsoring the visit.
(2) Uncleared foreign nationals must adhere to the requirements in DOE O
142.3, Chg. 1, Unclassified Foreign Visits and Assignments Program,
dated 2-21-08 (see DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1).
h. Emergency Responders. Emergency responders, designated by their
organizations, will be issued DOE security badges. The badge will have the
words “Emergency Response Official” printed on a red horizontal background.
3. ISSUANCE, USE, RECOVERY, AND DESTRUCTION OF DOE SECURITY & LSSO
BADGES.
a. Security Badge Issue. The CSA must prescribe local procedures for issuance,
use, accountability, and return of DOE security and LSSO badges. These
procedures must address the transition from the current DOE security badge to the
new DOE security badge.
b. Issuer Requirements.
(1) Issuance with SNM or Classified Access. Measures must be taken to
ensure that a single individual cannot process and/or issue a DOE security
or LSSO badge allowing unauthorized access into an area containing SNM
or classified matter.
(2) Issuer Clearance Level. Issuing personnel with read/write access to
systems containing records and information concerning badges, security
clearance, and access control authentication data must be cleared at the
appropriate level as determined by the site and documented in local
NAP-70.2 Attachment 1
07-02-10 Page 5
procedures. Sites must implement procedures to control access to security
systems that maintain badging and clearance information.
c. Site Usage. A valid DOE badge with a printed “L” or “Q” must be used and
accepted as evidence of security clearance and must be accepted for admittance to
security areas without additional security badging.
(1) The organization being visited is responsible for verifying an individual’s
DOE security clearance level and determining need-to-know before
granting access to SNM or classified information.
(2) The information on the electromagnetic stripe, optical, or other data storage
media must not be used for any purpose other than physical security and
logical access control. The information on the electromagnetic stripe,
optical, or other data storage media or in combination with biometric
access control devices must not be collected or stored outside of DOE
access control applications, without prior authorization along with
established procedures for the control and protection of the information.
d. Thirty-Person Operations.
(1) DOE security badges must be worn at DOE facilities and operations
involving access of 30 or more Federal and contractor employees and who
require a security clearance or who support DOE HQ.
(2) Facilities and operations involving fewer than 30 persons whose contractor
personnel do not require a security clearance or support DOE HQ are not
required to have a DOE security badge. However, when uncleared
personnel need access to a DOE site, building, or location other than the
HQs facilities, for no more than 6 months an LSSO badge may be issued.
Section 51
e. Recovery of DOE Badges.
(1) DOE security badges are the property of the U.S. Government. Local
procedures must be established for returning badges to the issuing office
whenever an individual has terminated employment or their security
clearance status changes or otherwise no longer requires the badge.
(2) Individuals who no longer have a valid requirement for access to DOE
facilities must surrender their badges according to local procedures as
approved by the CSA.
(3) Badges issued to employees, contractors, and other individuals must be
recovered at the final security checkpoint or earlier, and the individuals
must be escorted from the site if circumstances or conditions indicate the
need. Recovered DOE security badges must be destroyed and the records
so annotated.
Attachment 1 NAP-70.2
Page 6 07-02-10
(4) If a terminated employee’s DOE security badge is not recovered on the last
day of employment steps must be taken to recover the badge. If the badge
is not recovered, the badge must be treated as stolen Government property
and reported in accordance with the DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1, Safeguards
and Security, Program Management and Planning, Section N, Incidents of
Security Concerns, dated 3-7-06.
f. Individual Changes of Appearance. A DOE security badge must be confiscated
and reissued, with a new photograph, if the individual’s appearance has changed
significantly; i.e., no longer resembles the person in the photograph.
g. Badge Destruction. DOE security badges that are deactivated or no longer needed
must be destroyed so that the badge cannot be reconstructed. If destruction is not
immediate, badges must be stored in a secure manner until they can be destroyed.
DOE security badges must be destroyed in a manner approved by Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) FIPS-201-1, Personal Identity
Verification of Federal Employees and Contractors.
h. Temporary and Visitor Badge Reuse. Temporary and visitor’s badges that do not
include individuals’ photos must be recovered and may be reissued unless
otherwise established by the CSA and documented in site-specific requirements
and procedures.
i. DOE Federal and Contractor Employee Name Change. A DOE security badge
must be replaced when the employee’s name is legally changed.
4. ACCOUNTABILITY OF DOE SECURITY BADGES. Records must be maintained by
issuing offices showing the disposition of DOE security and LSSO badges. Such records
must include the description and badge number; date of issuance; and name, organization,
and date of the destruction along with a destruction certificate.
a. Records. Records must be maintained in accordance with the requirements of the
local records management program. Personal data must be protected from loss or
compromise (see 5 U.S.C. 552).
b. Lost Badges. A record of missing DOE security badges must be maintained.
Personnel and/or systems controlling access to DOE security areas must be
provided current information regarding missing badges to prevent badge misuse.
The theft or loss and recovery of DOE issued security badges must be reported
immediately to the issuing office.
5. PROTECTION OF DOE BADGE MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT. Stocks of
badging materials, unissued DOE security and LSSO badges, and processing equipment
must, at a minimum, be stored in a locked room, or locked filing cabinet/safe cabinet to
protect against loss, theft, or unauthorized use. Security must be in place when the badge
office is not located in a permanent facility. The CSA must establish protective measures
for satellite facilities that are located outside a permanent facility. The CSA must provide
Section 52
NAP-70.2 Attachment 1
07-02-10 Page 7
guidance on the protection of LSSO badge stock and processing equipment when located
within a permanent and/or satellite facility. Thefts should be reported commensurate
with the Incidents of Security Concern Program (see DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1).
6. DOE SECURITY BADGE VALIDATION. The CSA approves local procedures for
validation of the DOE security badge at access control points (e.g., by automation or
protective force [PF] physical examination of the badge). Procedures must require PF or
assigned security personnel to validate the DOE security badge at all DOE facilities,
including those worn by pedestrians or vehicle occupants, and to ensure that the badge
photo matches the presenter’s face and that the badge has not been altered.
a. Badge validation by PF or security personnel is not required at access control
points that rely on automated access control systems for DOE facility entry/exit.
b. Other methods of validation may be instituted employing biometrics or a
combination of personnel verification measures.
7. DOE SECURITY BADGE RECIPIENT REQUIREMENTS. The CSA approves
implementing procedures to ensure individuals receiving the DOE security or LSSO
badge are responsible for the following:
a. Protecting the DOE security badge against loss, theft, or misuse and reporting a
lost, stolen, or misused badge to the CSA within 24 hours of discovery.
b. Maintaining the DOE security badge in good condition and protecting its integrity
by ensuring that the badge is not altered, photocopied, counterfeited, reproduced,
or photographed (other than what would be deemed official government
business).
c. Returning the DOE security badge, according to local procedures and as approved
by the CSA, when it is no longer valid or required.
d. Surrendering or returning the DOE security badge when requested according to
local procedures approved by the CSA.
e. Wearing the DOE security badge conspicuously, photo side out, in a location
above the waist and on the front of the body while having access to DOE
facilities. (A deviation to this requirement may be permitted for health or safety
reasons).
8. DOE SECURITY BADGE-HSPD-12 REQUIREMENTS. The requirements for the
Federal government implementation of the HSPD- 12 credential are described in FIPS-
201-1.
Section 53
PHYSICAL PROTECTION
1. PURPOSE. This NNSA Policy implements the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) security requirements and restrictions of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the physical protection of interests ranging from facilities, buildings, Government property, and employees to national security interests such as classified information, special nuclear material (SNM), and nuclear weapons. A graded approach for the protection of the lowest level of government property and layered to the most critical is described in this NNSA Policy. All physical protection programs, practices, and procedures developed within NNSA must be consistent with and incorporate the requirements of this NNSA Policy along with all national requirements (Atomic Energy Act of 1954, Executive Orders, United States Code [U.S.C.], Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), National Industrial Security Program, etc.).
2. BACKGROUND. This NNSA Policy (NAP) was developed using DOE M 470.4-2A, Physical Protection Manual, dated 7-23-09, as a baseline and is tailored to meet the programmatic needs of the NNSA. This NNSA Policy incorporates national-level requirements and most requirements as set by the Department. When establishing new requirements or deleting requirements, NNSA carefully measured the value of the requirements and perceived or actual threat to the protection and control of classified matter based on a risk management approach using DOE O 470.3B, Graded Security Protection (GSP) Policy, dated 8-12-08, and the costs of implementation. Defense Nuclear Security (DNS) worked closely with the DOE Office of Health, Safety, and Security (DOE/HSS) in developing this NAP. DNS will continue to work closely with the Departmental security policy office, as well as with Departmental inspection and oversight offices, in managing the NNSA security policy program. Some specific changes as outlined in this NNSA Policy include:
a. The term vault-type room (VTR) was replaced with the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual term of closed areas (CAs). This change is due to operational necessity because it may be necessary to construct CAs for storage if General Services Administration (GSA)-approved containers or vaults are deemed unsuitable or impractical. The use of CAs within NNSA provides a level of security consistent with national standards and allows increased flexibility in storage of classified matter.
b. In coordination with the NNSA Information Security NAP, classified matter-in-use or “day-lock” procedures were restored into this NNSA Policy and are an acceptable, cost-effective way of protecting classified information in use during working hours. Day-lock benefits from layers of access control and security at NNSA sites and is a configuration virtually unpredictable for an adversary to exploit. Day-lock is a term used for classified matter-in-use during working hours and should not be confused with storage of classified matter. Day-lock requirements are contained in the NNSA Information Security NAP.
c. Prescriptive barrier design requirements were removed. By removing the elaborate details, barriers can serve their primary function as an area of demarcation. The cognizant security authority (CSA) can now determine if a brick wall or other type of fencing meets the protection requirements necessary.
Section 54
d. Intrusion detection system (IDS) alarm coverage is allowed for engineered openings. By clearly defining an engineered opening and allowing for IDS protection, difficult construction issues can be averted without seeking deviations or installing volumetric alarms.
e. Changes were made to the requirements for locks and keys. Level IV keys were deleted from this NNSA Policy because they are not considered security keys and the requirements for Level III keys were modified.
f. The chapter on Safeguards and Security Alarm Management and Control Systems (SAMACS) was eliminated from this NNSA Policy. NNSA recommends that SAMACS be updated and incorporated as a technical standard, not a policy document. SAMACS outlined the requirements used in the protection of Category I and II quantities of SNM facilities installed and operational after January 1, 2008. These requirements, although outdated, still reside in DOE M 470.4-2A, where they can be referenced when necessary.
3. CANCELLATIONS.
a. This NNSA Policy does not cancel any NNSA-issued policy. It does, however, replace DOE M 470.4-2A for application to the NNSA’s Physical Protection Program.
b. Cancellation of a Departmental policy (Policy, Order, Manual, or Notice) or NNSA policy does not, by itself, modify or otherwise affect any contractual obligation to comply with the policy. Canceled policies that are incorporated by reference in a contract remain in effect until the contract is modified to delete the references to the requirements in the canceled policies.
4. APPLICABILITY.
c. NNSA Contractors. Except for the exclusions in paragraph 4d, this NNSA Policy sets forth requirements that will apply to site/facility management contracts.
(1) This NNSA Policy must be included in the site/facility management contracts that involve classified matter or nuclear materials and contain DOE Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) clause 952.204-2, Security Requirements.
(a) NNSA elements must notify contracting officers of affected site/facility management contracts to incorporate this NNSA Policy into those contracts.
(b) Once notified, contracting officers are responsible for incorporating this NNSA Policy into the affected contracts via the laws, regulations, and DOE directives clause of the contracts.
(c) Requirements identified as solely a Federal function will not be incorporated into contracts.
(2) A violation of the provisions of this NNSA Policy relating to the safeguarding or security of Restricted Data or other classified information may result in a civil penalty pursuant to subsection a. of section 234B of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2282b). The procedures for the assessment of civil penalties are set forth in 10 CFR 824, Procedural Rules for the Assessment of Civil Penalties for Classified Information Security Violations.
(3) As stated in DEAR clause 970.5204-2, Laws, Regulations, and DOE Directives, regardless of the performer of the work, site/facility contractors that have this NNSA Policy incorporated into their contracts are responsible for compliance with this NNSA Policy. Affected site/facility management contractors are responsible for flowing down the requirements of this NNSA Policy to subcontracts at any tier to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements. In doing so, contractors must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts. That is, contractors must both ensure that they and their subcontractors comply with the requirements of this NNSA Policy and only incur costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
(4) This NNSA Policy does not automatically apply to other than site/facility management contracts. Application of any of the requirements of this NNSA Policy to other than site/facility management contracts will be communicated as follows:
(a) Heads of Field Elements and Headquarters NNSA Elements. Review procurement requests for new non-site/facility management contracts that involve classified matter or nuclear materials and contain DEAR clause 952.204-2, Security Requirements, and ensure that the requirements of this NNSA Policy are included in those contracts.
(b) Contracting Officers. Assist originators of procurement requests who want to incorporate the requirements of this NNSA Policy in new non-site/facility management contracts, as appropriate.

Section 56
8. DEVIATIONS. Deviations from national regulations, including CFR and national-level policies, are subject to the deviation process of the governing document rather than the Departmental deviation process. This NNSA Policy conveys no authority to deviate from law or other national-level requirements.
a. Requests for deviations from requirements specific to the Department of this NNSA Policy must be processed in accordance with the provisions of DOE M 470.4-1, Chg. 1, Safeguards and Security Program Planning and Management, dated 3-7-06.
b. Protection of some national security interests cannot be accomplished by use of the measures defined in this NAP. In such unique circumstances, the appropriate cognizant security authority may approve protection requirements tailored to that particular interest using graded protection measures described in a specific security plan.
9. DEFINITIONS. Definitions for most terms included in the NNSA DNS S&S Program may be found in DOE M 470.4-7, Safeguards and Security Program References, dated August 26, 2005, but may also be included in this NNSA Policy if required for context. Other pertinent definitions are as follows:
a. Cognizant Security Authority. Federal and contractor employees who have been granted the authority to commit security resources or direct the allocation of security personnel or approve security implementation plans and procedures in the accomplishment of specific work activities.
(1) NNSA Cognizant Security Authority (NNSA CSA). The Federal CSA responsible for inherently government functions and risk acceptance for security requirements that cannot be further delegated to the contractor.
(2) Cognizant Security Authority (CSA). The CSA at the contractor level. This is the level of authority granted to the contractor.
b. Closed Areas (CA). An area that meets the requirements of this NNSA Policy for safeguarding classified matter and/or a security interest that, because of its size, nature, or operational necessity, cannot be adequately protected by the normal safeguards or stored during nonworking hours in approved containers.
c. Day-lock. A practice that permits users to temporarily leave classified matter in areas where access is controlled and limited to individuals with appropriate clearance and need-to-know as documented and prescribed by the CSA. Refer to NNSA Information Security NAP for additional day-lock requirements.
d. Engineered Openings. Openings greater than 96 inches square that have been designed and constructed to allow access to storage locations for lawful purpose. Examples include, but are not limited to, door openings, window openings, and ventilation openings.
e. Supplemental Protection. Supplemental protection measures include additional security measures such as GSA approved security containers, intrusion detection systems, protective force (PF) patrols, special checks or access control systems. Supplemental protection measures should be documented in the Site Security Plan (SSP) and approved by the CSA.
NOTE: GSA-approved security containers and approved vaults secured with a locking mechanism meeting Federal Specification FF-L-2740 do not require supplemental protection when the CSA has determined that the GSA-approved security container or approved vault is located in an area of the facility with security-in-depth.
NOTE: When PF are authorized, the schedule of patrol is 2 hours for Top Secret matter and 4 hours for Secret matter.
