Content:
central alarm station shall be considered a VA. It shall be bullet resisting and the interior must not be visible from the PA perimeter. In accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(i)(4)(iii), the secondary alarm station shall be constructed, located, protected, and equipped to the standards for the central alarm 13.6.3-5 Revision 1 – October 2010 station. Unattended openings that intersect a security boundary such as underground pathways must be protected by a physical barrier and monitored by intrusion detection equipment or observed by security personnel at a frequency sufficient to detect exploitation. 5. 10 CFR 73.55(j)—Communication Requirements. The licensee shall establish and maintain continuous communication capability with onsite and offsite resources to ensure effective command and control during both normal and emergency situations. Technical Rationale The technical rationale for application of these acceptance criteria to the areas of review addressed by this SRP section is discussed in the following paragraphs: 1. 10 CFR 52.79(a)(35)(i) requires that license applications for a combined license include a physical security plan that describes how the applicant will meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 (and 10 CFR Part 11, “Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or Control over Special Nuclear Material,” if applicable). See the technical rationale for 10 CFR 73.55 (item 2) below. 2. 10 CFR 73.55 establishes the detailed requirements for development and implementation of a physical security program, which is described in the physical security plan. The physical security plan defines the administrative, physical and operational measures that provide protection of the facility, and any associated special nuclear material, from both internal and external threats. Compliance with 10 CFR 73.55 provides high assurance that the plant is protected against the theft of nuclear material or radiological sabotage. 3. 10 CFR 100.21(f)
