For the past three years, the U. S. Department of Energy Office of Security Policy has been aggressively pursuing substantial improvements in its regulations and directives related to safeguards and security (S&S). An initial effort focused on areas where specific improvements could be made. Revisions were completed during 2009, and a number of revised manuals were published. Developing these revisions involved more than 100 experts in the various disciplines involved, yet the only changes made were those that could be identified and agreed on based largely on expert opinion. The next revision will be more analytically based. A thorough review of the entire set of S&S directives will be conducted using software tools to analyze the present directives to identify 1) areas of positive synergism among topical areas, 2) areas of unnecessary duplication within and among topical areas, and 3) requirements that are less than effective in achieving the intended protection goals. This paper describes the software tools available and in development that will be used in this effort. Examples of the output of the tools and a short discussion of the follow-on analysis that will be performed when these outputs are available to policy analysts are also included.
