E.I. Du Pont de Nemours and Compnay, under contract to the Department of Energy, operates the Savannah River Plant for the production of defense nuclear materials. The site encompasses a fuel fabrication facility, three operating nuclear reactors, and two fuel processing facilities, which are separated by as much as 15 miles. A safeguards intrusion detection and access control system designed by Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, has been in operation at the reactor sites starting in September of 1984. During that same time frame an analysis of the plant site determined the desirability of an integrated plant safeguards system encompassing all six noted facilities. This paper describes the integrated system architecture, which includes facility access control systems, entry control facilities, a plantwide access enrollment system, intrusion detection systems, area central alarm stations, a plantwide backup central alarm station, and an extensive safeguards communication system.
