tion should identify the physical barriers that are used to protect openings in a physical barrier system (e.g., gate access in the protected area barrier fence, an opening through the vehicle barrier system, and openings in vital area barriers that are not within the physical design of the power reactor). The description should address how the facility will secure and monitor the barriers to prevent exploitation and whether the barrier meets the criteria identified in 10 CFR 73.2 for barriers that protect openings in a physical barrier system. 10. A design description of vital area portals and vital area emergency exits (e.g., doors) not within the physical design of the power reactor and supporting systems should demonstrate that the materials of the physical barriers at the portals and emergency exits are consistent with those identified in the definition of physical barriers provided in 10 CFR 73.2. The description should also address the access control equipment and locking devices that allow for rapid egress by means of the portals and emergency exits and that meet the vital area access requirements of 10 CFR 73.55. The description should identify access points for vital areas by type (e.g., personnel, vehicle, and equipment) and location. Text and figures (D-size drawing with adequate visual clarity) should describe and depict the locations of vital area access points. 11. A description should identify that all unoccupied vital areas (not within the physical design of the power reactor) will be locked and alarmed. The description should include the type of detection aids (e.g., balanced magnetic switch) and locking devices (e.g., magnetic lock) used at the access control portals of vital areas. The description should provide other associated access control equipment (e.g., key card and biometric device) for each access control point. 12. A description should identify locks that are used for the protection of the facility and special nuclear material by
