($000)
The increase is to upgrade and modernize training facilities at sites that
are protecting Category I special nuclear material. They will be
executed as a series of capital equipment or General Plant Projects. The
increase will be partially offset by the continued efficiencies identified
through the DNS Zero-Based Security review and in response to the
Deputy Secretary’s Security Reform Initiative, both which seek to
streamline security required using cost-benefit analyses and the
acceptance of risk. +4,592
Physical Security Systems
The increase will be used to fund initiatives identified in the Physical
Security Technology Management Plan for life-cycle replacement as
well as installation of state-of-the art access control, alarm detection and
assessment, and other technologies needed to support the NNSA
national security mission. These upgrades are needed primarily at sites
protecting Category I special nuclear material. They will be executed as
a series of capital equipment or General Plant Projects, and not as a
single line item, as originally projected. +33,842
Information Security
The increase implements a more formalized information protection
program, including enhanced procedures for documentation, and
centralized storage of classified and sensitive information. +4,174
Personnel Security
The level of effort remains unchanged for processing of clearances,
granting access authorizations for visitors at NNSA sites, managing the
Human Reliability Program, providing security awareness training, and
processing visit requests for foreign national unclassified visits and
assignments. However, the increase reflects a repricing of the activities
based on a bottom-up budget revalidation of this work. +6,372
