Content:
. The following are voluntary elements: 1. Text and figures (D-size drawings) should identify and depict vital area(s) that are not within the physical design of the power reactor with adequate visual clarity to allow for review. Vital equipment should be listed by component and identified by location within vital areas. 2. A description should identify that the CAS, the SAS, and the secondary power supply for alarm annunciation and non-portable communication equipment are located within a vital area. The description of the CAS and SAS should indicate whether the specific alarm station is a stand-alone building or structure that is designed and protected as a vital area or whether the specific alarm station is co-located within a vital area that was designed to protect other vital equipment. 3. A description of the CAS, the SAS, and the location that performs the last access control function should identify that the materials for the physical barriers (e.g., walls, floors, ceiling, and doors) that protect these locations will be bullet resisting and are specified to be, at a minimum, as identified in RG 5.76 “Physical Protection Programs at Nuclear Power Reactors,” Paragraph 4.6.2. A specification of greater bullet resistance is acceptable. 4. A design description of the CAS and SAS should demonstrate that both alarm stations are designed and equipped to ensure that a single act, in accordance with the definition of design-basis threat of radiological sabotage provided in 10 CFR 73.1(a)(1), cannot disable both alarm stations and that the survivability of at least one alarm station is ensured to maintain the facility’s ability to detect and assess alarms, initiate and coordinate an adequate response, summon offsite assistance, and provide command and control. The description should include site-specific information such as the identification and location of equipment essential to alarm station functions in relation to physical protection features that provide
