REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of physical security Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The review of design certification (DC) applications involves the evaluation of the physical security systems, components, and measures (hereafter referred to as “physical security elements”) identified to be within the scope of an applicant’s design. The review must include the physical security elements within the physical design of the power reactor and supporting systems that are included in the DC application and may also include a review of the voluntarily submitted physical security elements. The review should encompass the material intended to meet the general performance objective as described in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Paragraph 73.55(b) as well as guidance provided in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.206, "Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition).” 13.6.2-2 Revision 1 – October 2010 For a DC application, the review will also address combined license (COL) action items and requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters). The physical security elements that are required within the review of a DC application are the elements that, because of their inherent nature, are included within the physical design of the power reactor and supporting systems. These physical security elements are usually designed, located, and constructed to directly support the protection of equipment essential to the safe operation of the power reactor. As applicable, the review of the DC application would also include other physical security elements included within the physical design of the power reactor and supporting systems (e.g., the central alarm station (CAS), the secondary alarm station (SAS), and bullet-resistant enclosures). The NRC considers physical security elements that are not within the physical design of the
