Who is allowed to review safeguards information?

Only authorized individuals are allowed to review safeguards information to maintain security and protect sensitive data. This restriction is in place to ensure that confidential information, particularly related to safety protocols and security measures, is accessed only by those who have been vetted and granted specific permission. This helps in minimizing the risk of unauthorized access or potential misuse of sensitive information that could compromise the safety of the facility, employees, or the surrounding environment.

In a controlled environment such as a plant, safeguards information often encompasses critical data regarding operational security, emergency procedures, and equipment vulnerabilities. Therefore, limiting access to only those who are authorized—typically personnel with specific training and responsibilities related to safety and security—ensures that information is handled appropriately and in compliance with regulatory standards.
