select material from the procedures described below, as may be appropriate for a particular case. These review procedures are based on the identified SRP acceptance criteria. For deviations from these acceptance criteria, the staff should review the applicant’s evaluation of how the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the relevant NRC requirements identified in Subsection II. 13.6.3-5 March 2007 1. The reviewer should ensure that the applicant has provided clear, approximate to scale diagrams, figures, drawings, etc. that provide a clear visual depiction of the proposed facility and site physical layout, to include, but not limited to the following: pedestrian land approaches, vehicular land approaches, railroad approaches, water approaches, potential "high-ground" adversary advantage areas, and any existing and/or planned culverts. The review should include a clear visual depiction of vital areas and vital equipment, intake structure; owner controlled and protected area (PA) checkpoints and PA boundary for power block structures and safety-related cooling tower, as well as, nearby roads, transportation routes, pipelines, hazardous facilities. 2. The reviewer should ensure that the applicant has provided a description of the site's characteristics as they currently exist to assure that the site is sufficiently large enough to provide adequate distances between vital equipment and vital areas and the probable location of a security boundary. Nominally a minimum distance of approximately 110 meters (360 feet) from any vital equipment or vital area would provide sufficient distance to allow for the appropriate emplacement of barriers, detection equipment, isolation zones, and vehicle barriers to protect vital equipment. 3. The reviewer should ensure that the applicant has provided a description of the applicable site characteristics that may require measures so as not to interfere with normal operations of the facility.
