CFR Title: 

Content:
7, “Content of Applications; Technical Information,” the information submitted for a DC must include performance requirements and design information sufficiently detailed to permit the preparation of acceptance and inspection requirements by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and procurement specifications and construction and installation specifications by an applicant. The design of physical security systems and hardware, and the associated inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAAC), are within the scope of the DC and must be included in the application submitted for certification. The regulatory basis for the staff’s review of physical security systems is established by the requirements of 10 CFR 52.48, “Standards for Review of Applications,” which require the staff to review applications for compliance with the standards set out in 10 CFR Part 73. The staff’s review is limited to the design of physical security systems within the nuclear power plant, and structures and plant areas included in the scope of a DC. Only the performance and prescriptive regulatory requirements of 10 CFR Part 73 addressing design of physical security systems for a nuclear power reactor (i.e., a utilization facility under 10 CFR Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” and 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants”) are applicable. The staff also reviews the designs of structures, systems, components, and features that are relied on to perform physical security response functions. The design information must be sufficiently detailed to establish design bases capturing intended security functions to support completion of detailed designs of physical security systems for procurement, construction and installation, and to support the required inspections, tests, and analyses (ITA), used to establish that the acceptance criteria are met, as required by 10 CFR 52.103(g).
