Abstract
Department of Energy (DOE) Order 5630.13 calls for preparation and submission of site/facility specific Master Safeguards and Security Agreements (MSSAs). The guidance for the preparation of the MSSAs provides for a risk management approach when assessing safeguards and security (S&S) performance against prescribed \"outsider\" and \"insider\" threats. The methodology currently used in assessing the performance of facility S&S systems has a limited capability to measure the non-physical \"insider\" protection elements. In recognition of that fact, DOE Headquarters asked Field Offices to employ site-specific insider protection program measures, assess the overall system effectiveness provided against potential insider threats, and to take credit for these program elements. An analytical method for measuring the overall effectiveness of such a program is presented herein. This methodology provides a means of integrating the non-physical insider protection elements with the physical protection measures when evaluating overall risk.
