Revision 2 – October 2016 Report (PSAR) considers the site evaluation factors identified in 10 CFR Part 100, “Reactor Site Criteria,” and the site characteristics must comply with this regulation. The requirement of 10 CFR 100.21(f) requires that the site characteristics must permit adequate security plans and measures to be developed. The intent of the review is to determine if adequate security plans and measures meeting the performance and prescriptive regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 73, “Physical Protection of Plants and Materials,” for a nuclear power reactor can be developed.

The staff will: 1.

Because the scope of the ESP review is limited to determining whether the site characteristics are such that adequate security plans and measures can be developed, details on how the performance and prescriptive requirements in 10 CFR Part 73 will be met are not within the
