Content:
ign of the physical security systems within the scope of the DC (i.e., as applicable based on the design descriptions and associated requirements identified in Tables 13.6.2.1 and 13.6.2.2): 1. 10 CFR 73.55(b)(3)(i) is satisfied when the applicant adequately describes how the design of physical security systems provides the capabilities to detect, assess, interdict, and neutralize threats up to and including the DBT of radiological sabotage. To meet the performance regulatory requirements, the applicant determines and proposes how it will provide or design a physical protection system (i.e., detection, assessment, communications, and security response) that will protect a nuclear power plant and its nuclear operations against the DBT of radiological sabotage resulting from significant core damage or loss of spent fuel pool cooling. The requirement of 10 CFR 73.55(b)(3)(ii), as it relates to the design of physical protections systems, is satisfied when design descriptions include how physical security systems will be designed to address each element of a physical protection system for capability to detect, assess, communicate, and respond (interdict and neutralize). It includes the design and specifications addressing the reliability and availability of physical security systems that are providing or are relied on by administrative controls (i.e., people and procedures) for meeting high assurance of detection, assessment, interdiction, and neutralization. Therefore, the design descriptions should address each element of a physical protection system and must meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b)(3)(i) and (b)(3)(ii), as they relate to the design of physical security systems. At a minimum, applicants should address the following to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b)(3)(i) and (b)(3)(ii) as they relate to design of physical security systems. The information submitted must be sufficient for completing detailed design for procurement, construction, and
