This report on remote response mechanisms for nuclear facility security systems was prepared for use in the Safeguard Regulatory Program of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The report includes information that will be useful to those responsible for the planning, design, and implementation of physical security systems. It discusses mechanisms that may be controlled remotely to extend the period of time during which security forces can implement effective response to intruders. Techniques and mechanisms designed to reduce the intruder's capability to perform tasks and/or increase the tasks necessary to accomplish the intruder's objective are described and their characteristics discussed. The importance of the synergism between remote response mechanisms and other components (especially physical barriers) of the safeguard is emphasized. The methods reviewed in this report are those which might be considered for application. The more exotic and futuristic techniques have been included for completeness and to save systems designers the effort of repeating the literature search required to evaluate them. Inclusion of a particular method does not necessarily represent recommendation or approval for use.
