The Project On Government Oversight said the Dept. of Energy is implementing a new policy on security requirements at its nuclear weapons facilities and that the plan -- known as Graded Security Protection -- will actually decrease the security requirements at some sites.
The new security policy, according to POGO, is replacing what was known as the Design Basis Threat, which set the standards for protection against terrorism. In a prepared statement, POGO exec director Danielle Brian said, "One thing we don't understand is why different sites need different requirements if they are guarding the same thing: highly enriched uranium or plutonium."
