The purpose of this discussion is to provide an action plan in the event of a threat in which nuclear material is declared to have been diverted or stolen. This procedure provides the framework by which the Atomic Energy Commission, Richland Operations Office (AEC-RL) will notify its contractors of a threat and direct required action and response to the AEC-RL. This procedure does not consider low-level radiological or biological threats, such as gram quantities. In general the materials to be considered are plutonium and uranium enriched to 20%.
