The steps involved in making a Safeguard Vulnerability Analysis Program (SVAP) application to a nuclear facility are summarized. NRC analysts are expected to execute SVAP on nuclear facilities to check facility safeguard systems for soundness and to reveal vulnerabilities, if any. The ultimate objective is to create safeguard systems that will effectively deter theft or diversion of special nuclear materials. The Input Phase of a SVAP application consists of data-gathering, data-recording in a handbook, and data-entering into a Tektronix computer. At that point, the facility data are transferred to a main frame computer for processing, and in the Output Phase the main frame computer delivers a complete descriptive analysis of the facility's safeguard system, disclosing its vulnerabilities.
