DHS 157.9710 DHS 157.9710 Security zones.

DHS 157.9710(1) (1) A licensee shall ensure that all category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material are used or stored within licensee established security zones. Security zones may be permanent or temporary.

DHS 157.9710(2) (2) Temporary security zones shall be established as necessary to meet a licensee’s transitory or intermittent business activities, such as periods of maintenance, source delivery, and source replacement.

DHS 157.9710(3) (3) Unescorted access to security zones shall only be permitted to approved individuals through the following conditions, or combinations of conditions:

DHS 157.9710(3)(a) (a) Category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive materials are isolated by the use of continuous physical barriers that allow access to the security zone only through established access control points. A physical barrier is a natural or man-made structure or formation sufficient for the isolation of the category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material within a security zone.

DHS 157.9710(3)(b) (b) The security zone is directly controlled by approved individuals at all times.

DHS 157.9710(4) (4) For category 1 quantities of radioactive material during periods of maintenance, source receipt, preparation for shipment, installation, or source removal or exchange, a licensee shall, at a minimum, provide sufficient numbers of individuals approved for unescorted access to maintain continuous surveillance of sources in temporary security zones and in any security zone in which physical barriers or intrusion detection systems have been disabled to allow such activities.

DHS 157.9710(5) (5) Individuals not approved for unescorted access to category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material shall be escorted by an approved individual when in a security zone.

DHS 157.9711 DHS 157.9711 Monitoring, detection, assessment, communication, and response.

DHS 157.9711(1) (1) Monitoring and Detection.

DHS 157.9711(1)(a) (a) A licensee shall establish and maintain the capability to continuously monitor and immediately detect all unauthorized entries into its security zones. A licensee shall provide the means to maintain continuous monitoring and detection capability if the primary power source is lost, or provide for an alarm and response if this capability to continuously monitor and immediately detect unauthorized entries is lost.

DHS 157.9711(1)(b) (b) Monitoring and detection shall be performed by at least one of the following:

DHS 157.9711(1)(b)1. 1. A monitored intrusion detection system that is linked to an onsite or offsite central monitoring facility.

DHS 157.9711(1)(b)2. 2. Electronic devices for intrusion detection alarms that will alert nearby facility personnel.

DHS 157.9711(1)(b)3. 3. A monitored video surveillance system.

DHS 157.9711(1)(b)4. 4. Direct visual surveillance by approved individuals located within the security zone.

DHS 157.9711(1)(b)5. 5. Direct visual surveillance by a licensee designated individual located outside the security zone.

DHS 157.9711(1)(c) (c) A licensee subject to this subchapter shall detect unauthorized removal of the radioactive material from the security zone by establishing and maintaining the following capabilities:

DHS 157.9711(1)(c)1. 1. For category 1 quantities of radioactive material, immediate detection of any attempted unauthorized removal of the radioactive material from the security zone. Immediate detection capability shall be provided by any of the following:

DHS 157.9711(1)(c)1.a. a. Electronic sensors linked to an alarm.

DHS 157.9711(1)(c)1.b. b. Continuous monitored video surveillance.

DHS 157.9711(1)(c)1.c. c. Direct visual surveillance.

DHS 157.9711(1)(c)2. 2. For category 2 quantities of radioactive material, weekly verification through physical checks, tamper indicating devices, use, or other means to ensure that the radioactive material is present.

DHS 157.9711(2) (2) Assessment of actual or attempted unauthorized entry. A licensee shall immediately assess each actual or attempted unauthorized entry into the security zone to determine whether the unauthorized access was an actual or attempted theft, sabotage, or diversion.

DHS 157.9711(3) (3) Personnel communications and data transmission. For personnel and automated or electronic systems supporting a licensee’s monitoring, detection, and assessment systems, a licensee shall comply with all of the following:

DHS 157.9711(3)(a) (a) Maintain continuous communication capability for personnel and electronic data transmission and processing capability among site security systems.

DHS 157.9711(3)(b) (b) Provide an alternative communication capability for personnel, and an alternative data transmission and processing capability if the primary means of communication or data transmission and processing is lost. Alternative communications and data transmission systems shall not be subject to the same failure modes as the primary systems.

DHS 157.9711(4) (4) Response to actual or attempted unauthorized access, theft, sabotage, or diversion. A licensee shall immediately respond to any actual or attempted unauthorized access to the security zones, or actual or attempted theft, sabotage, or diversion of category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material at licensee facilities or temporary job sites. For any unauthorized access involving an actual or attempted theft, sabotage, or diversion of category 1 or category 2 quantities of radioactive material, a licensee’s response shall include immediately requesting an armed response from the LLEA.
