The intent of this information is to provide NRC licensees or applicants guidance with specific emphasis on physical security best practices. The approaches and methods in this document are not requirements; however, the NRC considers them to be acceptable for complying with the requirements in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 37, “Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material.” Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This NUREG contains information collection requirements associated with 10 CFR Part 37 that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). These information collections were approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), approval number 3150-0214. Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a request for information or an information collection requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number. iii CONTENTS ABSTRACT ............................................................................................................................... iii FIGURES AND TABLES .......................................................................................................... vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ............................................................................................................ ix ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS ....................................................................................... xi GLOSSARY OF TERMS ......................................................................................................... xiii 1.
