REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFETY PROTECTION OF NUCLEAR DEVICES AND NUCLEAR MATERIALS
Classification of nuclear installations and nuclear materials in terms of security
(1) Nuclear installations and nuclear materials are classified by Commission categories on the basis of a proposal from the responsible organisation.
(2) The following principles apply to the categorisation of nuclear installations:
(a) nuclear installations for which damage may have very serious consequences for nuclear safety are to be classified in Category I. These include, in particular, nuclear installations containing sources of released radioactive substances and selected safety systems, the activities of which are necessary to prevent radioactive leakage,
(b) nuclear installations whose damage does not result in direct dispersal of radioactive substances are to be classified in Category II but may have very serious consequences in the present failure or damage to one or more parts of a nuclear installation which are classified in Category I or II;
(c) nuclear installations, the damage of which does not lead to direct dispersal of radioactive substances, may be classified in Category III, but may increase the threat to the present failure or damage to a part of a nuclear installation that is classified in a higher category.
(3) The categorisation of nuclear materials is set out in the Annex. Materials in quantities below the limit for Category III shall not be covered by this Decree.
(1) If nuclear installations classified in different categories cannot be physically separated from each other, the whole object shall be classified according to the highest category of nuclear installations in the object located.
(2) If nuclear materials classified in different categories are stored or used in a single building, the whole building must be classified according to the highest category of nuclear materials stored or used in the building.
(3) Where an object is categorised as a nuclear installation other than nuclear material, the safety protection measures shall be implemented according to the category with higher safety protection requirements.
Basic requirements for ensuring safety protection of nuclear installations and nuclear materials
(1) Nuclear equipment and nuclear materials included in:
(a) Category I shall be located in the internal space;
(b) Category II shall be located within the protected area;
(c) Category III shall be located within a guarded object.
(2) In exceptional and justified cases authorised by the Commission, individual premises may be merged, but the effectiveness of mechanical means and safety equipment must be adequately enhanced.
(3) The number of entrances and entrances for means of transport to a guarded object, protected and internal space must be limited to the extent necessary. In addition, checks on entry and exit of persons and entry and exit of means of transport must be ensured. Emergency exits shall be secured against unauthorised intrusion from the outside and equipped with electrical signalling devices. 6)
(4) The responsible organisation shall ensure that all its staff working in a guarded facility, protected or internal space are adequately trained at least once a year on security measures. The responsible organisation shall, to the appropriate extent, instruct other persons entering the guarded facility, protected or internal space about the regime measures.
Eligibility of persons
(1) The examination of eligibility concerns only Czechoslovak citizens or persons with permanent residence permits in the territory of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic.
(2) The responsible organisation shall:
(a) to ensure that the competence of their staff working in a guarded facility, protected or internal space, to the extent appropriate to the activities pursued, is checked for pre-employment applicants;
(b) ensure that other organisations sending their personnel to a guarded facility, a protected or internal space ensure that the competence of such personnel is verified to the extent appropriate to the activities carried out prior to the start of their work.
(3) The examination of the professional, physical and mental capacity of persons shall be carried out in accordance with the rules relating to the working activities of persons. The verification of the reliability of persons shall be requested by the organisation which ensures that its staff are competent in accordance with specific rules. 7)
(4) Based on the result of the verification of competence, the responsible organisation shall issue an authorisation to enter or enter a guarded object, protected or internal space.
(5) The verification of the competence of all personnel authorised to enter or enter a guarded facility, protected or internal space shall be renewed no later than 2 years from the date of the verification of the competence of the worker, otherwise the verification of competence shall cease to be valid.
(6) The organisation and the authorities whose staff have lost their competence must immediately inform the responsible organisation, which shall immediately take appropriate measures to prevent the entry or entry of the person concerned into the relevant area.
Authorisation of entry of persons and entry of means of transport
(1) A guarded object, protected and internal space may only be entered and entered for the purpose of work and control activities in that space.
(2) The entry of persons and the entry of means of transport for purposes other than work must be limited to the extent necessary. Persons and means of transport shall be subject to appropriate control, in particular, whether unwanted items or nuclear materials are not brought in.
(3) The entry of private vehicles into a guarded building, protected and internal space is prohibited. The exemption shall be granted by the head of the responsible organisation.
(4) The following may enter a guarded object, protected or internal space:
(a) personnel authorised to enter or enter the area concerned;
(b) nuclear safety inspectors, 8)
(c) designated personnel of the competent authority of the State administration under the responsibility of the responsible organisation on the basis of an authorisation to enter the relevant area;
