(e.g., the central alarm station (CAS), the secondary alarm station (SAS), and bullet-resistant enclosures). The NRC considers physical security elements that are not within the physical design of the power reactor and supporting systems, but are included within a DC application to be voluntarily submitted physical security elements. The DC application review will include these physical security elements even though they are voluntarily submitted. During the review, the reviewer should gain an understanding of the physical security elements that are included in the physical design of the power reactor and supporting systems. At a minimum, the DC application must address the physical security elements that are included in the physical design of the power reactor and supporting systems and describe how the regulatory requirements associated with these elements are met. The following tables list the physical security elements that are required within the review of a DC application and a sample of physical security elements that the applicant may voluntarily submit for review. The physical security elements that are required within the review of a DC application include, but are not limited to, the elements listed in Table 1. Table 1 - Physical Security Elements Required within the Review of a DC Application Element Number Description Requirement 1 Identify vital areas within the physical design and provide a list of vital equipment, by component and location, in vital areas. 10 CFR 73.55(e)(9) 2 Identify that the control room and spent fuel pool are within a vital area. 10 CFR 73.55(e)(9) 3 Provide a design description that confirms the bullet- resistant design of the control room. 10 CFR 73.55(e)(5) 4 Provide a design description of the physical barriers that protect vital areas (e.g., walls, ceilings, floors, doors, and gratings that comply with the definition of physical barrier provided in 10 CFR 73.2, 10 CFR 73.2 10 CFR 73.55(e) 13.6.2-3 Revision 1 – October
