I. introduction section 1. Introductory provisions. The purpose of the physical protection of nuclear material and the nukleært facility is to facilitate to minimize the opportunities for theft of nukleært material and sabotage against nuclear plant. The physical protection should also facilitate the gjenfinningen of the stolen material.
These regulations specify the framework for anleggsinnehaverens and the authorities ' obligations with regard to physical protection.
Nukleært material and nuclear facilities that fall under this regulation, is to be considered as deductible items. Law 20. March 1998 No. 10 in the preventive security service and regulations given under the legal authority of this applies for the right subjects covered by this regulation. Because of their special character to the State's radiation protection have the coordinating role in supervision and governance facing covered by shielding objects worthy of law 12. May 1972 No. 28 of the nuclear energy business.

§ 2. Confidentiality Provisions of the Act 12. May 1972 No. 28 of the nuclear energy business § 53 and allowed 20. March 1998 No. 10 in the preventive security service section 11 regulates the confidentiality under this regulation.

II. Definitions section 3. Nukleært material. Plutonium, uranium and thorium, as well as any material containing one or more of these substances. Plutonium containing more than 80% of the isotope Pu-238, as well as ores and consumer articles are not considered nukleært material.

§ 4. Authorized person. Any person who is empowered by the State's anleggsinnehaveren or by the radiation protection to reside in areas where nukleært material benytttes, processed or stored, as well as to participate in the planning and execution of the transport of nukleært material.

§ 5. Guard. A person who maintains the access control and monitoring activities on or around a facility where nukleært material be used, processed or stored, or by the transport of nukleært material.

section 6. Controlled area. An area where the access is controlled by the guard, and that is bounded by a solid fence or the like that is hard to overcome.

section 7. Protected area. An area within a controlled area that is continuously monitored by the guard and/or electronic equipment and protected by solid physical barriers.

section 8. Vital area. An area within a protected area that is continuously monitored by the guard and electronic equipment with regard to appropriate security forces and that are protected by very solid physical barriers.

§ 9. Anleggsinnehaver. The who, according to the law on nuclear energy business section 4 has a licence to operate nuclear facilities.

§ 10. The Convention. Convention on the physical protection of the nukleært material of 3. March 1980, amended by the Protocol of 8. July 2005 (not in force).

section 10a. Design basis threat capabilities and characteristics of a possible internal and/or external enemy, which can attempt sabotage against or unauthorized removal of nukleært material and/or nuclear plant and that the physical protection is rated and designed to resist.

III. Class section of nukleært materials section 11. Class section. Nukleært material classified as specified in Appendix 1 to these regulations on the basis of the potential risks such as theft, sabotage or the like may result.
The classification is based on the type and amount of nukleært material. For reactor plant protection scope of interventions is determined on the basis of an assessment of the plant's vulnerability to sabotage and the radiation risks that sabotage will be able to lead.
These regulations apply only to quantities of nukleært material that exceeds the minimum amounts in class III in Appendix 1.

IV. Physical Protection section 12. General measures. Anleggsinnehaveren should, on the basis of a threat assessment prepared by the police security service, prepare a design basis threat. This shall be approved by the State's radiation protection. Design basis threat to be kept up to date based on changes in the police threat assessments and the general threat picture. Design basis threat will be graded for their content, but the minimum restricted according to law 20. March 1998 No. 10 in the preventive security service section 11. Fixed driver should further establish and maintain a system for physical protection of nuclear facilities and nuclear materials during storage, processing and transport, which at least should be able to resist the threat represented by the design basis threat.
Anleggsinnehaveren to prepare a security report regarding the physical protection. This report will be graded according to their content, but the minimum restricted according to law 20. March 1998 No. 10 in the preventive security service section 11. The report shall be approved by the State's radiation protection. In preparing the report should also be taken into account other security requirements such as radiation protection and kritikalitetsfare. It should also be kept up to date at the new facility, changes of the plant or when it acquired nukleært material that requires more stringent security measures.
Anleggsinnehaveren shall designate one or more persons who shall have the responsibility for all matters that have significance for the physical protection of the stored material, plant and material during processing or transport.
Anleggsinnehaveren to check that your system regularly for physical protection works.

section 13. Contingency plan. An emergency plan should be worked out in consultation with the police and it should be in accordance with the real regulatory relationship between the involved authorities. Necessary protective equipment/measuring anleggsinnehaveren can set to police to include outline of the plan, and it should also include the necessary practice activities. Contingency plan for physical protection should also include the transport of nukleært material. As mentioned under section 12 shall draw up a report anleggsinnehaveren security. This should facilitate for effective efforts of the resort's staff, as well as police against theft of nuclear materials, sabotage or threat of this. Contingency plan will be graded for their content, but the minimum restricted according to law 20. March 1998 No. 10 in the preventive security service section 11.
By theft and sabotage, or suspected, attempt or threat of such actions is obliged to notify immediately anleggsinnehaveren the local police and the State's radiation protection. Norwegian radiation protection authority shall notify the Ministry of health and care services, the Ministry of Justice and the Police Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the national security authority and the Crisis Committee for nuclear accidents.

Interrupts that are not planned, shall immediately be notified to the outer transport management.

k. International transports By the export to anleggsinnehaveren in advance, in collaboration with the State's radiation protection and the receiver, make sure that the nuclear material in transit in import and transit countries at least will be subject to the level of physical protection as stated in the attachment in to the Convention. (Schedule 2 to these regulations).
When importing to anleggsinnehaveren in advance, in collaboration with the State's radiation protection and the sender, ensure that the nuclear material during transport in the export and transit countries at least will be subject to the level of physical protection as set out in Schedule 2 to these regulations.
By the export and import of nukleært material shall anleggsinnehaveren in collaboration with the State's radiation protection hit the deal with the export, import or transit countries about at what place the responsibility for physical protection goes over from one national authority to the other.
If the contract or agreement about an international transport assumes delivery in a vehicle from abroad, to make sure that the anleggsinnehaveren contract or agreement contains provisions that will ensure that anleggsinnehaveren in time get the information which is of importance for the measures of physical protection to be taken in Norway.
Anleggsinnehaverens duties with regard to the physical protection during international transports to be specified in the State's radiation protection prior approval (see section 17 c). In connection with physical protection during transport in the Nordic countries, the State's radiation protection require that measures that conducts the anleggsinnehaveren differ from those specified in these regulations.
