structures. The design descriptions should include the physical security systems for providing delay of adversaries, the protection of security responders (e.g., mall gates, vault doors, grenade nets, protected fighting positions, etc.), and engineered non-portable lethal and non- lethal weapon systems within the nuclear island and structures. The staff will review the design descriptions submitted to determine how the proposed design of physical security systems meet the applicable performance and prescriptive requirements for physical security systems in 10 CFR 73.55, “Requirements for Physical Protection of Licensed Activities in Nuclear Power Reactors against Radiological Sabotage.” 3. Table 13.6.2.1, “Design of Physical Security Systems within the Nuclear Island and Structures for a Design Certification Application,” see below, identifies the performance and prescriptive design requirements that should be addressed for the nuclear island and structures in the scope of a DC application, in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 52.47. The descriptions for the design of physical security systems that are within the nuclear island and structures should include the structures, systems, and components for interior detection/assessment, communication, delay, security response, and access control relied on to protect against the DBT, including insider threats. However, applicants for certification of a standard design or applicants for a COL or operating license (OL) may choose different methods or approaches for the design of a 13.6.2-4 Draft Revision 2 – September 2013 physical protection system. The reviewer should apply the following criteria to determine if design descriptions of physical security systems may be omitted from the scope of the application: (a) Physical security systems or functions will not be located within the nuclear island or structures, or (b) Physical security systems will not be integral to the construction of the nuclear
