ddress protection against deliberate acts, such as the design basis threat (DBT) for radiological sabotage. 2. At a minimum, the DC application must provide sufficiently detailed design information to permit the preparation of acceptance and inspection requirements by the NRC and procurement, construction and installation specifications by an applicant for the physical security systems within the scope of the design. This information typically includes the design of physical protection systems providing detection, assessment, communications, delay and response functions, which are relied on to protect against the DBT of radiological sabotage, and is subject to established prescriptive design requirements of 10 CFR Part 73. The review of design descriptions for physical security systems should include SSCs relied on to protect against insider threats and implementing interior security response within the nuclear island and structures. The design descriptions should include the physical security systems for providing delay of adversaries, the protection of security responders (e.g., mall gates, vault doors, grenade nets, protected fighting positions.), and engineered non-portable lethal and non-lethal weapon systems within the nuclear island and structures. The staff will review the design descriptions submitted to determine how the proposed design of physical security systems meet the applicable performance and prescriptive requirements for physical security systems in 10 CFR 73.55, “Requirements for Physical Protection of Licensed Activities in Nuclear Power Reactors against Radiological Sabotage.” 3. Table 13.6.2.1, “Design of Physical Security Systems within the Nuclear Island and Structures,” see below, identifies the performance and prescriptive design requirements that should be addressed for the nuclear island and structures in the scope of a DC application, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.47. The descriptions for the design of
