Content:
al telephone and radio or microwave transmitted two-way voice communications shall be established with local law enforcement authorities. 5. Section (g) of 10 CFR 73.55 - Testing and Maintenance. Each applicant shall develop test and maintenance provisions for intrusion alarms, emergency alarms, communication equipment, access control equipment, physical barriers, and other security-related devices or equipment. 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 50.34(c) requires that license applications to operate a production or utilization facility include a physical security plan that describes how the applicant will meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 (and 10 CFR Part 11 if applicable). See 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 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 theft of nuclear material or radiological sabotage. 3. 10 CFR 73.70(f) establishes the requirement for recording of each onsite alarm annunciation location of each alarm, false alarm, alarm check, and tamper indication that identifies the type of alarm, location, alarm circuit, date, and time. 4. 10 CFR 100.21(f) establishes that site characteristics must be such that adequate security plans and measures can be developed.
