the guidance in RG 1.206, as previously discussed, to provide reasonable assurance and adequate information for completing detailed the design of physical security systems. 5. The review of designs of physical security systems includes how the designs of these systems address defense-in-depth by means of diversity, redundancy, and separation. Where applicable, the system design margins, as previously discussed, for proposed design of physical security systems are reviewed and included as a part of the design basis for detailed design, procurement, construction, and installation. 13.6.2-24 Revision 2 – June 2015 6. For physical security systems providing the capability for detection, assessment, and response (i.e., interdiction and neutralization), the review includes how the designs of physical security systems address defense-in-depth by means of diversity, redundancy, and separation. Where applicable, the system design margins to achieve defense-in- depth, as previously discussed, for proposed design of physical security systems are reviewed and included as a part of the design basis for detailed design, procurement, construction, and installation. The specific considerations covered in the staff’s physical security review include the following: 1. Review of the proposed designs of physical security systems for how they will provide capabilities to detect, assess, interdict, and neutralize in accordance with the standards and criteria as set forth by regulatory requirements and SRP acceptance criteria in Section II. The review of specific design descriptions should follow the generic review guidance indicated above, with an emphasis on the design for defense-in-depth through diversity, redundancy, and separation to provide systems’ reliability and availability to achieve high assurance of intended security functions. 2. Review of all design descriptions (text, drawings, figures, illustrations, schematics, tables, etc.) pertaining to physical security
