mplishing the intended security function. Independence is attained by physical separation and physical barriers, including electrical or motor force independence. The NRC’s philosophy applies to the designs of physical protection systems, which integrate engineered controls and administrative controls, to provide a high assurance of protection against the DBT for radiological sabotage. 2. 10 CFR 73.55(e): As it relates to the design of physical barrier systems, their uses, types, functions, and placement, to satisfy the capabilities for control and delay of access into the plant areas. The design descriptions should provide sufficient detail of how the following criteria are met: A. Protect against the DBT of radiological sabotage (10 CFR 73.55(e)(3)(i)(A)). B. Provide deterrence, delay, or support access control (10 CFR 73.55(e)(3)(ii)). C. Support implementation of protective strategy, response (10 CFR 73.55(e)(3)(iii)). D. Secure and monitor any barrier or barrier systems to prevent exploitation of the opening (10 CFR 73.55(e)(4)). 13.6.2-17 Revision 2 – June 2015 E. Provide bullet-resisting physical barriers for the reactor control room, the central alarm station, and the locations within which the last access control function for access to the protected area is performed (10 CFR 73.55(e)(5)). F. Provide physical barriers, as needed, to satisfy the requirement of 10 CFR 73.55(b) to protect against the DBT (10 CFR 73.55(e)(6)). G. Establish an isolation zone in an outdoor area adjacent to the protected area perimeter barrier that meets the following criteria (10 CFR 73.55(e)(7)(i)): (i) Sufficient size to permit observation and assessment of activities on either side of the protected areas barrier (10 CFR 73.55(e)(7)(i)(A)). (ii) Intrusion detection equipment monitoring that is capable of detecting both attempted and actual penetration of the protected area perimeter barrier before completed penetration of the protected areas perimeter barrier (10 CFR
