Abstract
Systems to provide protection against insider initiated sabotage utilize many of the same elements used in facility outsider physical protection systems. However, insider actions require more monitoring and interpretation since the insider is often required to inspect, repair, or manipulate the very equipment which is being protected. Consequently, significant operational input regarding the appropriateness of insider actions on monitored equipment must be obtained for an effective insider sabotage protection system. As a result, a means for the operations staff to provide plant state and component status information, to assess selected alarms, and to maintain conmunications with the security control center is necessary. Such an insider sabotage protection system, directed toward nuclear reactors, is described and the various components and interconnections necessary for implementation are outlined.
