This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The 9/11 terrorist attacks raised concerns about the security of Dept. of Energy (DoE) sites with weapons-grade nuclear material, known as Category I special nuclear material (SNM). To better protect these sites against attacks, DoE has sought to transform its protective forces protecting SNM into a Tactical Response Force (TRF) with training and capabilities similar to the U.S. military. A prior report: (1) analyzed information on the management, organization, staffing, training, and compensation of protective forces at DoE sites with Category I SNM; (2) examined the implementation of TRF; (3) assessed DoE's two options to more uniformly manage protective forces; and (4) reported on DoE's progress in addressing protective force issues.
