Abstract
This talk develops the relationship between the capabilities of key Department of Energy nuclear facilities to guard against successful adversary actions and the overall threat of adversary actions against those facilities. It recognizes the critical role of an independent inspection and enforcement program to help identify where the major vulnerabilities exist. It then addresses the high priority being afforded to the support role that the Office of Safeguards and Security plays in assisting the facilities with vulnerabilities to affect changes that will eliminate such vulnerabilities. These two important functions, namely, assessment and facility upgrade, are then discussed in the context of the overall safeguards and security program.
