                   including violations of laws, losses, and incidents of
                   security concern, to manage the local Classified Matter
                   Protection and Control Program.

7.  REQUIREMENTS.

    a.   General.  The Department's diverse safeguards and security
         interests are to be protected from malevolent acts (e.g., sabotage)
         and from events such as disasters and civil disorders.  Details of
         the protection and control requirements set forth in this Order are
         found in DOE M 5632.1C-1.

    b.   Threat.  The "Design Basis Threat Policy for the Department of
         Energy Programs and Facilities (U)" shall be used to identify and
         characterize the range of potential adversary threats to
         Departmental programs and facilities.  Field Elements should review
         and develop, as appropriate, supplementary local threat policy to
         take into account site-specific and regional-specific threat
         considerations.

    c.   Graded Protection.  By graded approach, DOE intends that, in the
         development and implementation of protection and control programs,
         the level of effort and magnitude of resources expended for the
         protection of a particular security interest are commensurate with
         the security interest's importance or the impact of its loss,
         destruction, or misuse.  Interests whose loss, theft, compromise,
         and/or unauthorized use will have serious impact on the national
         security, program continuity, and/or the health and safety of DOE
         and contractor employees, the public, the environment, or
         Department of Energy programs, shall be given the highest level of
         protection.  For example, use of a weapon of mass destruction by a
         terrorist(s) could have consequences so grave as to demand the
         highest reasonably attainable standard of security.  Protection of
         other interests shall be graded accordingly.  Protection-related
         plans shall describe, justify, and document the graded protection
         provided the various interests.  Asset valuation, threat analysis,
         and vulnerability assessments shall be considered, along with the
         acceptable level of risk and any uncertainties, to decide how great
         is the risk and what protection measures are to be applied.  Heads
         of Departmental Elements shall provide a rational, cost-effective,
         and enduring protection framework using risk management as the
         underlying basis for making security-related decisions.

    d.   Protection Planning. Protection planning is essential to all
         Departmental facilities and contractor facilities used for
         Department of Energy work.  Sites, as appropriate, shall develop a
         Site Safeguards and Security Plan as required by DOE 5630.14A,
         SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY PROGRAM PLANNING.  Sites and facilities not
         covered by DOE 5630.14A should use the Order as guidance when
         developing local security plans.

         (1)  Protection Strategy.  A  protection strategy shall be
              developed and delineated by each DOE site and approved by the
              Head of the Field Element for all safeguards and security
              interests.  The strategy used will be determined by the impact
              that a malevolent act would have on the national security,
              program continuity, the health and safety of DOE and
              contractor employees, the public, and/or the environment.
              (NOTE:  Safeguards and security programs shall provide a high
              degree of assurance of the capability to deter, detect,
              assess, delay, prevent, and/or inhibit unauthorized access to
              nuclear weapons, nuclear test devices, or completed nuclear
              assemblies, Category II or greater quantities of special
              nuclear material, and Vital Equipment.  The safeguards and
              security system shall be capable of responding, denying
              access, preventing removal, and/or recovering these
              Departmental assets from an adversary, while providing command
              and control to protective forces.  Strategies for the
              protection and control of classified matter shall incorporate
              the applicable requirements established in DOE M 5632.1C-1.)

         (2)  Contingency/Emergency Planning.  Plans that address protection
              measures shall be developed and in place for events such as a
              threat guidance event, natural disasters, civil emergencies,
              personnel shortfalls (e.g., work force shortfalls,  work force
              disruptions, walkouts, disputes), call-out of off-duty
              employees, and other credible situations.

         (3)  Outside Agency Protection Support Planning.  Plans shall
              document the support to be expected from outside agencies in
              response to security incidents.  Required actions of outside
              agencies shall be determined and documented, as appropriate,
              in Memoranda of Understanding.  Each Memorandum of
              Understanding shall be reviewed with the appropriate
              agency(ies) at least annually to ensure its validity.

    e.   Protection Program Elements.  Applications of protection system
         elements shall be tailored and integrated to provide the levels of
         protection appropriate for safeguards and security interests.
         Effective physical protection shall rely on the interaction between
         security systems, protective personnel, and administrative
         procedures.  In addition, physical protection programs shall be
         integrated with other Safeguards and Security Program elements,
         such as Material Control and Accountability and Information
         Security, to achieve total system integration.  See the DOE 5633
         series of directives regarding Material Control and Accountability
         and DOE 5639 series for Information Security.

         (1)  Security Areas and Restricted Access Areas.

              (a)  Security Areas, described more fully in DOE M 5632.1C-1,
                   shall be established when the nature, size, revealing
                   characteristics, sensitivity, monetary value, or
                   importance of safeguards and security interests is such
                   that access to them cannot otherwise be effectively
                   controlled.  Limited Areas, Protected Areas, Exclusion
                   Areas, Vital Areas, and Material Access Areas shall be
                   defined by barriers and access to them shall be
                   controlled.  Property Protection Areas may be defined by
                   barriers and access to them may be controlled.

              (b)  Restricted Access Areas, described in DOE M 5632.1C-1,
                   may be established for the purpose of controlling access
                   based on the appropriate access authorization and/or
                   official duties. Examples include:

                   1    Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities.

                   2    Central and Secondary Alarm Stations.

                   4    Automated Information System Centers.

         (2)  Intrusion Detection System and Assessment Capability.
              Intrusion detection systems may be used to detect unauthorized
              entry and/or presence in Security Areas and Restricted Areas.
              Visual observations by protective personnel may be used in
              place of or to complement an intrusion detection system
              depending on the requirements for the area being protected.
              See DOE M 5632.1C-1, page IV-3, for their required use at
              Protected Areas, Vital Areas, Material Access Areas, and
              Exclusion Areas.

         (3)  Access Controls and Entry/Exit Inspections.

              (a)  Access to classified matter and special nuclear materials
                   shall be limited to persons who possess an appropriate
                   access authorization and who require such access in the
                   performance of their official duties, on a need-to-know
                   basis.

              (b)  A person without appropriate access authorization
                   (security clearance), who is otherwise authorized to
                   enter  a Limited Area, Exclusion Area, or Protected Area
                   (including Material Access Area or Vital Area within a
                   Protected Area) shall be escorted at all times within the
                   Security Area by an individual with the appropriate
                   access authorization.

              (c)  Personnel, hand-carried items, vehicles, and vehicle
                   contents shall be subject to inspections, as applicable,
                   at Security Area entry control points to deter the
                   introduction of prohibited articles.  Personnel, hand-
                   carried items, vehicles, and vehicle contents shall be
                   subject to inspections, as applicable, at Security Area
                   exit control points to deter the unauthorized removal of
                   safeguards and security interests.

         (4)  Barriers.  Permanent physical barriers shall be installed to
              control, deny, impede, or delay unauthorized access into
              Limited Areas, Protected Areas, Exclusion Areas, Material
              Access Areas, and Vital Areas.

         (5)  Locks.  Security locks shall be used to secure safeguards and
              security interests.

         (6)  Secure Storage.  Secure storage for the interest under
              protection shall be provided in a graded manner.

         (7)  Protective Personnel/Protective Force.  Protective personnel
              are an essential part of the physical protection program.
              Such personnel include the Protective Force as well as other
              persons having administrative or other protective duties.
              Protective force policy, responsibilities and requirements are
              stated in DOE 5632.7A, PROTECTIVE FORCES.

         (8)  Communications.

              (a)  Voice communications systems used for security purposes
                   shall be reliable and provide intelligible voice
                   communications for all applicable modes of operation.

              (b)  Security system data transmission lines shall be
                   protected in a graded manner from substitution and
                   tampering.

         (9)  Testing and Maintenance.

              (a)  Physical protection systems' effectiveness shall be
                   determined through system acceptance and validation
                   testing that is consistent with DOE 5630.16A, SAFEGUARDS
                   AND SECURITY ACCEPTANCE AND VALIDATION TESTING PROGRAM.

              (b)  A program of scheduled testing and maintenance according
                   to DOE 4330.4B, MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, shall be
                   implemented to ensure an effective, operable security
                   system.  The program shall include identification of
                   critical components and subsystems.  The time interval
                   between tests shall be determined on a graded basis
                   according to the asset under protection and shall be
                   documented.

         (10) Posting.  Signs reflecting information on the Atomic Weapons
              and Special Nuclear Rewards Act; prohibited articles; the
              inspection of vehicles, packages, or persons either entering
              or exiting; and trespassing, if applicable, shall be posted.
              Signs prohibiting trespassing shall be posted around the
              perimeter and at each entrance to a Security Area except when
              one Security Area is located within a larger posted Security
              Area.  Also, notices shall be posted in each area where
              physical protection surveillance equipment is operational.

    f.   Physical Protection Equipment Usage.  Programs and procedures shall
         be developed to deter and/or detect misuse of physical protection
         equipment (e.g., video assessment equipment).  Violations shall be
         reported to the local cognizant authority for safeguards and
         security.  Physical protection equipment, when used in accordance
         with this policy, is not considered technical surveillance
         equipment and, therefore, is not subject to the policy requirements
         for technical surveillance equipment.

    g.   Security Badges.  Security badge systems shall indicate individuals
         access limitations and/or approvals for the purpose of controlling
         entrance and exit to Security Areas and facilities and for
         Safeguards and Security-related identification purposes.  Access
         limitations indicated by badges shall not be used alone for the
         release of classified and/or sensitive matter.  Need-to-know
         determinations shall be made before granting individuals access to
         classified matter.

    h.   Credentials and Shields.  The design of safeguards and security
         credentials and shields will be approved on a case-by-case basis by
         the office of primary responsibility.  DOE and DOE contractor
         employees shall provide support and assistance to DOE-credentialed
         personnel in the performance of their official duties.

8.  ASSISTANCE.  Questions concerning this Order should be directed to the
    Chief, Physical Security Branch, at 301-903-4244, or to the Classified
    Matter Protection and Control Program Manager, at 301-903-4805.
