Nuclear Surety

Front 4

Nuclear Surety Goal

Back 4

To incorporate maximum nuclear weapons surety, consistent with operational requirements, from weapon system development to retirement from the inventory.

Front 5

Access

Back 5

Opportunity to tamper with or modify a nuclear weapon, critical component or NC2 material.

Front 6

Entry

Back 6

The admission of personnel into established restricted areas, limited areas, exclusion areas, or no–lone zones.

Front 7

No–Lone Zone

Back 7

An area where the two person concept must be enforced because it contains a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon system, or certified critical component.

Front 8

Nuclear Weapons System

Back 8

A combat delivery vehicle with its nuclear weapon or weapons and associated support equipment, non-combat delivery vehicles, facilities, and services.

Front 9

Nuclear Weapon

Back 9

A complete assembly in its intended configuration which, upon completion of prescribed arming, fusing, and firing sequence, is capable of producing the intended nuclear reaction and release of energy.

Front 10

Critical Component

Back 10

A component of a nuclear weapon system that if bypassed, activated, or tampered with could result in or contribute to deliberate or inadvertent authorizing, pre–arming, arming, or launch of a combat delivery vehicle carrying a nuclear weapon, or the targeting of a nuclear weapon to other than its planned target.

Front 11

Two Person Concept

Back 11

Designed to ensure that a lone individual cannot perform an incorrect act or an unauthorized procedure on a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon system, or certified critical component.

Front 12

Two Person Concept Violatiins

Back 12

Declare a two person concept violation when a lone individual in a no–lone zone had the opportunity to tamper with or damage a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon system, or certified critical component.

Front 13

Tamper

Back 13

To knowingly perform an incorrect act or an unauthorized procedure involving a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon system, or certified critical component.

Front 14

Opportunity

Back 14

The time and physical proximity needed to tamper with or damage a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon system, or certified critical component.

Front 15

Entry

Back 15

Initial entry into a no–lone zone will always require, as a minimum, an authorized two person concept team.

Front 16

INRAD

Back 16

Intrinsic Radiation
Ionizing radiation emitted through weapons surfaces or directly from exposed components.

Front 17

ALARA

Back 17

As Low As Reasonably Achievable
Requires that every reasonable effort be made to keep radiation exposures as far below the dose limits as practical when technical, economic, and social factors are taken into account.

Front 18

How to Reduce Radiation Exposure

Back 18

Time
Distance
Shielding

Front 19

Covered Wagon

Back 19

A report to inform higher headquarters that an unusual incident, probably or actually hostile, affecting PL1, 2, or 3 resources has occurred at a base or dispersed site.

Front 20

Restricted Area

Back 20

A legally established military zone under USAF jurisdiction into which persons may not enter without specific authorization.

Front 21

National Defense Area

Back 21

A military zone containing a military resource of security interest, located on a property not under the jurisdiction or administration of, or in the custody of the DoD or a military department of the DoD. Once a NDA has been established the area becomes federal land, cordoned off to non-essential personnel.

Front 22

Safe Haven

Back 22

Temporary storage provided to Department of Energy classified shipment transporters at the Department of Defense facilities in order to ensure safety and security of nuclear material and non-nuclear classified material.
