Compliance with 10 CFR 95 provides assurance that sensitive information is appropriately protected DRAFT Rev. 3 - April 1996 13.6-10 against theft and misuse that could potentially threaten national security, the facility itself and/or the health and welfare of the public. III. REVIEW PROCEDURES At the PSAR stage, the review consists of a careful examination of the information submitted and comparison with the acceptance criteria set forth in subsection II above. The general plant description in Chapter 1 and site- related information in Chapter 2 of the PSAR should be examined to determine if there are unique features that should be considered in establishing the physical protection program. It will be desirable at this stage to discuss the formulation of this program with the applicant. At the FSAR stage, and for applications referencing a certified design, the physical security 59 plan is reviewed to determine its conformance with the regulations, the information requirements of subsection I above, and the acceptance criteria of subsection II above. Applicable regulations and the requirements and recommendations of industry standards (such as ANSI N18.17 ) are 60 used as checklists for this review. The reviewers may also use appropriate Division 5 Regulatory Guides and Review Guidelines 1 through 24 (Reference 26) to the extent they are 61 62 applicable to physical protection programs at nuclear power plants. Those having potential applicability are listed in the references. It is particularly important that the reviewer assure himself that all items of vital equipment are contained within vital areas. Site visits by the 63 reviewers are necessary, during the construction phase, before the evaluation of the plan can be completed. Upon completion of the installation of the security equipment, a confirmatory site visit is made
