Annotation

This report discusses people-related problems in security forces at nuclear power reactors and nuclear fuel fabrication facilities regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Abstract

Security personnel issues are discussed under headings of corporate attitude toward security, security force management and organization, security officer selection and training, security force morale and security equipment. Problems are also discussed from the point of view of the government regulator. Possible changes in NRC policies, procedures and regulatory requirements (including ideas about possible Federal licensing or certification of nuclear security personnel) are outlined. The report also includes appendixes concerning the statistical basis for the report's conclusions, a behavioral reliability program for the nuclear industry, and synopses of some existing licensing and certification programs. Charts and tabular material are provided.
