ommunication with the control room in both alarm stations (10 CFR 73.55(j)(4)(ii)). D. Independent power sources for nonportable communications equipment to remain operable in the event of the loss of normal power (10 CFR 73.55(j)(5)). E. Communication measures for site areas where communication could be interrupted or cannot be maintained (10 CFR 73.55(j)(6)). 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 sections and paragraphs: 1. Independent of the licensing regulations and licensing approaches established in 10 CFR Part 52 (or 10 CFR Part 50); the physical protection for a nuclear power plant must meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73. Under Subpart B, “Standard Design Certifications,” of 10 CFR Part 52, a DC application must include performance requirements and design information sufficient to permit the NRC to prepare acceptance and inspection requirements and the applicants to prepare procurement specifications and construction and installation of physical security systems. In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.48, “Standards for Review of Applications,” the NRC will review the applications for compliance with the standards set out in 10 CFR Part 73. 2. The scope of a DC application includes the physical security systems relied on for implementing operational requirements (i.e., administrative controls) for protecting against the DBT of radiological sabotage. The referenced sections of 10 CFR Part 52 (or 10 CFR Part 50), and the associated sections of RG 1.206 (or RG 1.70 “Test Documentation for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants,” for 10 CFR Part 50), specify the scope, content, and format of the material in an application and the staff’s associated technical review. Under 10 CFR Part 52, the DC review is limited to the designs of physical security systems. The review
