Report To The Chairman,

Nuclear Regulatory Commission








Additional Improvements

Needed In Physical Security

At Nuclear Powerplants



Since the middle 1970's, the Nuclear Reg-
ulatory Commission and powerplant oper-
ators have taken measures to reduce the
vulnerability of powerplants to attempted
acts of sabotage. GAO's evaluation disclosed
that further improvements can be made by


   --screening nuclear plant employees to
   reduce the number of potential sabo-
   teurs and

   --strengthening the physical security
   systems to ensure their compatibility
   with other plant safety systems.

The Commission has taken two initiatives
addreSsing these improvements. Therefore,
GAO is not making recommendations at this
time.
