Summary
The purpose of this report is to analyze the potential for a Department of Energy (DOE) employee reliability program (ERP), what it might consist of, how it would fit into DOE's nuclear security program, and what its realistic potential is. The concepts presented offer a two-pronged approach to employee reliability in recognition of the two distinct aspects of such a program. One portion addresses the preventive side of the program, where the term ''preventive'' is used in the same sense as in ''preventive'' medicine; that is, what should be done even when there are no symptoms of a problem to help ensure employee reliability and trustworthiness. The second portion deals with measures for detecting problems, or their symptoms, and then responding to eliminate the causes of the problem, if not the problem itself. The overall objective of this effort has been to identify state-of-the-art measures for conducting a program of employee reliability at DOE nuclear facilities by: identifying behavioral influencing measures for determining and preventing aberrant on-the-job actions; and identifying measures for detecting and correcting behavioral patterns correlated with aberrant on-the-job actions. These objectives give recognition to the duality of the behavioral measures that can forestall insider malevolence by: (1) creating an environment that minimizes the potential for problems; and (2) introducing methods for recognizing and reacting to behavioral characteristics or the environmental elements that correlate with aberrant activity.
