The US Department of Energy Hanford Site is an original defense production site dating from World War II. The US Department of Energy assigned a new waste management mission for the Hanford Site. This mission requires fewer manned security posts and more areas restricted because of safety and environmental concerns. Entry into these areas requires specific safety and environmental qualifications, which could be controlled by automated access control systems. Automated entry reduces costs of managing the Site but requires health physics, safety, employee training, security databases integration, and a network system. Another approach, avoiding integration, is individuals carrying this information on their person as a picture identity badge and access control token. The health physics, safety, employee training, and security regulations that define access requirements may be best served using a smart card as the access control token. This paper discusses the need for information distribution and automated access control, potential approaches for solving the need, and smart card work at the Hanford Site.
