gulations and design specifications (i.e., design specifications for walls, floors and ceilings are met). d. All openings (such as heating, overhead ventilation and cooling vents and windows) in vital area barriers are secured and monitored to prevent exploitation of the opening. e. Physical barriers at vital area portals are consistent with NRC regulations and what was identified in the design certification and are installed in accordance with design specifications. f. At a minimum, the reactor control room, the spent fuel pool, the central alarm station, and the secondary alarm station are designated as vital areas. g. All vital equipment is located in a vital area.
