Draft Revision 2 – April 2014 Scope of the Technical Review for Physical Security 1. At a minimum, information sufficiently detailed is provided to demonstrate that site characteristics will support the development of security plans and measures, such as the development of engineering controls (i.e., physical security systems) and administrative controls (operational requirements) for the design of a physical protection system (i.e., detection, assessment, communications, and response for interdiction and neutralization) meeting the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73. The key standards and criteria for the design of and operational requirements for physical security are set forth in 10 CFR 73.55, “Requirements for Physical Protection of Licensed Activities in Nuclear Power Reactors against Radiological Sabotage.” The scope of the ESP review includes how the site characteristics may affect the development of engineered controls, operational requirements, and management systems and determining whether potential challenges and impediments can be overcome to develop security plans and measures. However, review of detailed descriptions of how specific performance and prescriptive requirements will be met or implemented are not within the scope of review and are reserved for a COL application. 2. Based on the staff review guidance in RS-002, general guidance, initially, provided by letters to prospective applicants, and subsequently established SRP Sections 2.1.1 through 2.5.5, the review should include the considerations of applicant’s information addressing key site characteristics that may interface with physical security systems required under 10 CFR Part 73. It confirms whether the application demonstrates that engineering and administrative controls and any management systems that may be applied in meeting performance and prescriptive requirements in 10 CFR 73.55 and programs described in appendices to 10 CFR Part 73 for security plans and measures can be
