confirm that access to the protected area is controlled through physical barriers. The physical security plan would also describe the general location; construction standards; and specific function to be performed by each physical barrier used in the OCA, protected area, and vital areas. An acceptable physical security plan shall confirm that the reactor control room, the central alarm station, and the location within which the last access-control function for access to the protected area is performed are bullet-resisting. For COL applicants, this would include the secondary alarm station, in accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(i)(4)(iii). An acceptable physical security plan shall describe the bullet-resisting physical barriers used for the reactor control room; central alarm station; bullet-resisting protected positions; the location within which the last access control function for access to the protected area is performed; and, for COL applicants, the secondary alarm station, in accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(i)(4)(iii). An acceptable physical security plan would typically define “bullet-resisting” or “bullet resistant” as having a minimum capability of resisting a high-powered rifle round, as identified in RG 5.76 “Physical Protection Programs at Nuclear Power Reactors.” An acceptable physical security plan will describe the use of all physical barriers (to include natural terrain) used in the OCA, protected area, and vital areas to implement the site’s physical protection program. This description should include the type of barriers used, a general description of the construction of each barrier, (e.g., buildings, topography, fences, walls, doors, etc.) and the specific function to be performed by each barrier used. Additional guidance is provided in RG 5.76, “Physical Protection Programs at Nuclear Power Reactors.” 6. 10 CFR 73.55(e)(7), “Isolation Zones” Guidelines An acceptable physical security plan shall describe the location of isolation
