    (a) Access to Vaults.--(1) Section 3234 of the National Nuclear 
Security Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2424) is amended--
            (A) by striking ``The Administrator'' and inserting ``(a) 
        Procedures Required.--The Administrator''; and
            (B) by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(b) Access to Vaults at National Security Laboratories.--With 
respect to any vault containing Restricted Data at any national 
security laboratory, the procedures shall, at a minimum, provide that 
an individual shall not have unrestricted access to any such vault 
except in accordance with the following requirements:
            ``(1) Before each such access, the identity of the

        access is maintained.
    ``(c) Change of Lock Combinations to Vaults at National Security 
Laboratories.--The Administrator shall ensure, for each vault 
containing Restricted Data at each national security laboratory, that 
the combination of each lock to such vault is changed not later than--
            ``(1) one week after each removal of an individual from the 
        list of individuals permitted access to such vault; and
            ``(2) 12 months after the date on which the combination was 
        last changed.''.

what the policy of the Administration should be regarding--
            (A) the use of such examinations generally as a 
        prerequisite to access (restricted or unrestricted) to 
        Restricted Data; and
            (B) the use of such examinations as a prerequisite to 
        access (restricted or unrestricted) to vaults containing 
        Restricted Data.
    (2) For purposes of this section, the term ``Restricted Data'' has 
the meaning given such term in paragraphs (1) and (2) of section 11 y.

SEC. 4. USE OF ELECTRONIC LOCKS FOR CLASSIFIED AREAS AND CLASSIFIED 
              INFORMATION OF NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION.

    Section 3234 of the National Nuclear Security Administration Act 
(50 U.S.C. 2424), as amended by section 3 of this Act, is further 
amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(d) Electronic Locks Required.--The Administrator shall ensure 
that, after October 1, 2002, each lock used by the Administration to 
secure any vault, safe, or other container used to store Restricted 
Data is an electronic lock that meets or exceeds the FF-L-2740A lock 
standard of the General Services Administration, as in effect on the 
date of the enactment of the Nuclear Secrets Safety Act of 2000.''.

            Amend the title so as to read: ``A bill to require an 
        inventory of documents and devices containing Restricted Data 
        at the national security laboratories of the National Nuclear 
        Security Administration, to improve security procedures for 
        access to the vaults containing Restricted Data at those 
        laboratories, and for other purposes.''.
Amends the National Nuclear Security Administration Act, with respect to procedures for ensuring that any individual is not permitted access to any classified area of a laboratory vault containing Restricted Data, to require such procedures, at a minimum, to provide that an individual shall not have access to any such vault unless, before each access, the individual's identity is verified by an attendant through direct visual observation.
Requires the counterintelligence program at each such laboratory to include a polygraph program for individuals with access to any vault containing Restricted Data. Requires each such individual to undergo a polygraph examination within one year after having access to any such vault, in particular within 30 days after first access (or within 120 days after enactment of this Act, if first access occurred on or before enactment).
Requires the Administrator for Nuclear Security to ensure that the combination of each lock to  each laboratory vault containing Restricted Data is changed not later than 30 days after enactment of this Act.
