OUTSIDER THREAT VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS

A practical, common-sense approach for evaluating the vulnerabilities of nuclear facilities to outsider threats is updated. The approach consists of identifying key theft and sabotage targets at such a facility, identifying vulnerabilities in essential protection capabilities against outsider threats, and evaluating the effectiveness of overall protection when intruders exploit the most serious vulnerabilities. Realistic, performanceoriented evaluations of protection effectiveness can be made using data available from field observations, tests and exercises, as well as security handbooks, analyses, and computer models.
