system design margins, as previously discussed, for proposed design of physical security systems are reviewed and included as a part of the design basis for detailed design, procurement, construction, and installation. 6. For physical security systems providing the capability for detection, assessment, and response (i.e., interdiction and neutralization), the review includes how the designs of physical security systems address defense-in-depth by means of diversity, redundancy, and separation. Where applicable, the system design margins to achieve defense-in- depth,, as previously discussed, for proposed design of physical security systems are reviewed and included as a part of the design basis for detailed design, procurement, construction, and installation. The specific considerations covered in the staff’s physical security review include the following: 1. Review of the proposed designs of physical security systems for how they will provide capabilities to detect, assess, interdict, and neutralize in accordance with the standards and criteria as set forth by regulatory requirements and SRP acceptance criteria in Section II. The review of specific design descriptions should follow the generic review guidance indicated above, with an emphasis on the design for defense-in-depth through diversity, redundancy, and separation to provide systems’ reliability and availability to achieve high assurance of intended security functions. 2. Review of all design descriptions (text, drawings, figures, illustrations, schematics, tables, etc.) pertaining to physical security systems, including plant structures, systems, and configurations credited to provide security functions. Reviewers evaluate drawings of the nuclear island, structures, and plant areas showing locations, configurations, and installations of physical barriers and the protection of openings to determine how the proposed designs will meet regulatory requirements and conform to acceptance criteria in Section
