Abstract

THIS REPORT PRESENTS A LITERATURE REVIEW AND BIBLIOGRAPHY DEALING WITH THE OPTIMIZATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS STORAGE SITE (NWSS) SECURITY LIGHTING THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF ESTABLISHED PRINCIPLES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL FUNCTIONING. THREE DISTINCT PSYCHOLOGICAL/BEHAVIORAL PROCESSES ARE RELEVANT TO THE DESIGN OF SECURITY LIGHTING SYSTEMS: (1) DETERRENCE; (2) DETECTION; AND (3) INCAPACITATION. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NWSS SECURITY LIGHTING SYSTEM DESIGN ARE PROVIDED, BASED ON THE LITERATURE REVIEW AND ANALYSIS.
