U.S. Department of Energy                                     ORDER
     Washington, D.C.                                      DOE 5630.14A
                                                              6-9-92

SUBJECT:  SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM PLANNING

1.   PURPOSE.  To establish a standardized approach to protection program
     planning, and to prescribe Department of Energy (DOE) policy,
     objectives, responsibilities, and authority for that planning process.

2.   CANCELLATION.  DOE 5630.14, SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM PLANNING,
     of 11-16-88.

3.   SCOPE.  The provisions of this Order apply to Departmental Elements and
     contractors performing work for the Department as provided by law
     and/or contract and as implemented by the appropriate contracting
     officers.

4.   APPLICABILITY.

     a.   Facilities which have Category I quantities of special nuclear
          material (SNM), or those facilities that have Category II
          quantities within the same protected area that roll-up to a
          Category I quantity;

     b.   Facilities which have a radiological sabotage threat which would
          cause an unacceptable impact on the health and safety of the
          public;

     c.   Facilities which have an industrial sabotage threat which would
          cause an unacceptable impact to those DOE programs supporting
          national defense and security; and/or

     d.   Other facilities that Heads of Departmental Elements deem
          appropriate.

5.   POLICY.  It is Department policy to:

     a.   Protect DOE interests from theft or diversion of SNM, sabotage,
          espionage, loss or theft of classified/controlled matter or
          Government property, and other hostile acts which may cause
          unacceptable adverse impacts on national security or on the health
          and safety of the public.

     b.   Provide, in a graded manner, levels of protection appropriate to
          particular safeguards and security interests in accordance with
          the potential risks to national security and the health and safety
          of the public.

     c.   Reduce identified safeguards and security vulnerabilities to
          acceptable levels.

     d.   Use a systematic process of planning for determining and achieving
          an appropriate level of safeguards and security.

     e.   Consider operational safety requirements and safety impacts in
          protection program planning.

6.   REFERENCE.  DOE 5630.13A, MASTER SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY AGREEMENTS, of
     6-8-92, which establishes Department policy, requirements,
     responsibilities, and authorities for the development and
     implementation of Master Safeguards and Security Agreements (MSSAs).

7.   CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS.

     a.   This Order consolidates various protection program plans,
          previously required reports, and planning-type documents into one
          planning document - the site safeguards and security plan.  Site
          plans and master plans are no longer required.

     b.   The site safeguards and security plan is the master planning
          document for each DOE site.  The plan is composed of three
          volumes:  (1) the MSSAs; (2) the Facility Descriptions and
          Operational Plans; and (3) the Resource Plans.  Taken together,
          the three volumes of the site safeguards and security plan depict
          the existing condition of safeguards and security sitewide and by
          facility, establish improvement priorities, and provide for an
          estimate of resources required for carrying out the necessary
          improvements.

     c.   The MSSA volume of the site safeguards and security plan contains
          all of the MSSAs for the site.

     d.   The Facility Descriptions and Operational Plans describe the site
          protection strategies, significant facility protection systems and
          programs currently in place.

     e.   Resource Plans present a 5-year projection of the upgrades and
          their associated costs in addressing the vulnerabilities and
          risk(s) agreed to in the MSSAs.  The plans will include expected
          risk reduction over the 5-year span.

     f.   The site safeguards and security plan (all 3 volumes) will be
          reviewed and updated annually.  Modifications to the MSSA will be
          made in accordance with DOE 5630.13A.  Modifications to the
          facility description and operational plan and resource plan will
          be made by adding to, or replacing, pages in the site safeguards
          and security plan.  The resource plan will be revised annually to
          maintain a rolling 5-year perspective.  Copies of modifications
          and updates for all 3 volumes will be provided to the Office of
          Safeguards and Security (SA-10) and appropriate Secretarial
          Officers for review, comment, and approval as appropriate.

     g.   The Office of Safeguards and Security, with appropriate
          coordination with Headquarters and Field Elements, will issue and
          maintain a site safeguards and security plan planning guide that
          contains guidelines for development of site safeguards and
          security plans, including content and format of MSSAs, the
          facility descriptions and operational plans, and the resource
          plans in an effort to assure completeness and consistency and to
          eliminate redundancy among the three volumes.

               maintain current supporting documentation, including
               vulnerability analyses, cost-benefit analyses, studies,

               and examinations.

          (8)  Integrate relevant aspects of the site safeguards and
               security plans with any other planning documents.

9.   REQUIREMENTS.

     a.   The site safeguards and security plan planning guide will be

          implementation schedule will also be issued with the planning
          guide.  However, sites with multiple MSSAs will not be expected to
          be in full compliance with this Order until 1 year after the final
          MSSA is issued.
