Content:
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 the equipment protection from a single act (e.g., protected or vital area barriers) and should describe the equipment configuration that demonstrates alarm station redundancy that ensures the ability of at least one alarm station to continue to provide the required functions after the loss of the other alarm station. 5. A design description of the CAS and SAS should demonstrate that both alarm stations are constructed, located, protected, and equipped to the standards of the CAS and that both alarm stations are equal and redundant such that all functions needed to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(i) can be performed in both alarm stations. The description should identify that both alarm stations are located inside the protected area, are protected as vital areas, and are equipped to ensure that both alarm stations maintain the same operational capabilities. 6. A design description of vital areas that are not within the physical design of the power reactor should identify that the materials used for vital area physical barriers (e.g., walls, floors, ceiling, and doors) comply with the definition of physical barriers provided in 10 CFR 73.2. 13.6.2-13 Revision 1 – October 2010 7. A design description should demonstrate that access to vital equipment requires passage through at least two physical barriers. The description may identify the protected area barrier as one of these physical barriers and the vital area barrier as the second. 8. A design description should demonstrate that vital area barriers are separated from the protected area barrier. 9. A description 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
