Content:
in paragraph (b) of this section; and ( ii ) The proposed alternative measure provides protection against radiological sabotage or theft of un-irradiated MOX fuel assemblies, equivalent to that which would be provided by the specific requirement for which it would substitute. ( 2 ) The licensee shall submit proposed alternative measure(s) to the Commission for review and approval in accordance with §§ 50.4 and 50.90 of this chapter before implementation. ( 3 ) In addition to fully describing the desired changes, the licensee shall submit a technical basis for each proposed alternative measure. The basis must include an analysis or assessment that demonstrates how the proposed alternative measure provides a level of protection that is at least equal to that which would otherwise be provided by the specific requirement of this section. ( 4 ) Alternative vehicle barrier systems. In the case of vehicle barrier systems required by § 73.55(e)(10) , the licensee shall demonstrate that: ( i ) The alternative measure provides protection against the use of a vehicle as a means of transportation to gain proximity to vital areas; ( ii ) The alternative measure provides protection against the use of a vehicle as a vehicle bomb; and ( iii ) Based on comparison of the costs of the alternative measures to the costs of meeting the Commission's requirements using the essential elements of 10 CFR 50.109 , the costs of fully meeting the Commission's requirements are not justified by the protection that would be provided.
