uctures to Resist the Effects of Accidental Explosion,” Department of Defense, Washington, DC. (Also designated as Air Force ARF 08-22 and Navy NAVFAC P-2897.) 19. NIJ Standard 0108.01, “Ballistic Resistant Protective Materials,” National Institute of Justice, Washington, DC. 20. UL 752, “Standard for Bullet-Resisting Equipment,” Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. The applicant may apply or describe and identify other references and technical guidance for the designs of physical security systems that apply technical approaches, methods, or 13.6.2-13 Draft Revision 2 – September 2013 technologies based on sound and fundamental principles of science and human factor engineering and provide defensible technical bases for the proposed equivalent or alternative designs for meeting the regulatory requirements within Section II. In general, the design of physical security systems is acceptable when the proposed design and specifications describe how the performance and prescriptive design criteria in 10 CFR 73.55 will be met. The NRC decides whether the design is acceptable based on how the design assures reliability and availability through defense-in-depth that accounts for potential system failures or malfunctions (i.e., through diversity, independence, and separation). Information pertaining to the reliability and availability of a system for performing the intended security function should demonstrate that the system (as described) will achieve—or facilitate achieving—the general performance and requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b). The design descriptions must be of sufficient detail to permit the development of detailed procurement, construction, and installation specifications by an applicant, in accordance with 10 CFR 52.48. The design descriptions are acceptable when they include sufficiently detailed information for all physical security systems within the scope of the requested design certification. Acceptable design descriptions establish the design
