FY2023 Site Sustainability Plan

The Sandia National Laboratories site sustainability plan and its associated DOE Sustainability Dashboard data entries encompass Sandia National Laboratories contributions toward meeting the DOE sustainability goals. This site sustainability plan fulfills the contractual requirement for National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC, the management and operating contractor for Sandia National Laboratories, to deliver an annual sustainability plan to the DOE National Nuclear Security Administration Sandia Field Office.

NUSAM Methodology for Assessment.

This document provides a methodology for the performance-based assessment of security systems designed for the protection of nuclear and radiological materials and the processes that produce and/or involve them. It is intended for use with both relatively simple installations and with highly regulated complex sites with demanding security requirements.

Conducting a Nuclear Security Assessment

There are three general steps that make up a nuclear security assessment: 1. Develop data Libraries that indicate how effective the physical protection measures are both individually but also as parts of subsystems and actual systems. 2. Perform Path Analysis 3. Perform Scenario Analysis. Depending upon the nature and objectives of the assessment not all three of these steps may need to be performed; for example, at facilities with simple layouts there may not be a need to perform path analysis. Each of these steps is described within this report.

Leveraging Safety Programs to Improve and Support Security Programs

There has been a long history of considering Safety, Security, and Safeguards (3S) as three functions of nuclear security design and operations that need to be properly and collectively integrated with operations. This paper specifically considers how safety programmes can be extended directly to benefit security as part of an integrated facility management programme. The discussion will draw on experiences implementing such a programme at Sandia National Laboratories’ Annular Research Reactor Facility. While the paper focuses on nuclear facilities, similar ideas could be used to support security programmes at other types of high-consequence facilities and transportation activities.

Tables for Trials and Failures with PD for Designated Confidence Level

Two attachments are provided for performance testing of sensors and other Physical Protection System (PPS) components. The first attachment is a table of Trials and Failures, giving Probability of Detection (PD) for a designated confidence level and sorted by trials. The second attachment contains the same data, sorted by failures.

Springfield Processing Plant (SPP) Facility Information

The Springfield Processing Plant is a hypothetical facility. It has been constructed for use in training workshops. Information is provided about the facility and its surroundings, particularly security-related aspects such as target identification, threat data, entry control, and response force data.
