4.2.6

Sabotage

If an act of sabotage is discovered or suspected, the investigative process is

essentially the same as that described for other abnormal events, although

different priorities may apply. The following items should be considered when

setting priorities in sabotage investigations.

Investigation should be started immediately to determine the condition of

the affected system(s) and the operability of all safety-related systems.

Personnel should consider the possibility that

Multiple acts of sabotage may have been committed

Safety-related or other critical systems may have been specifically

targeted

Deliberate steps may have been taken to prevent discovery.

The appropriate manager or supervisor should determine the capability for

continued operation or safe shutdown. This may include independent

verification of lineups for some critical safety systems. Guidelines and

techniques for independent verification are identified in DOE Order

5480.19, Chapter X, "Independent Verification."

Corrective actions should include steps to minimize the impact of the

sabotage and steps to deter further acts through enhanced security at the

facility.

Specific notification criteria for incidents of sabotage are identified in DOE

Order 232.1A.
