The characteristics and hazards of natural features and of existing or projected manmade features at or near a proposed site must not preclude development of adequate security plans and should not prevent security operations from meeting NRC requirements (see also 10 CFR Part 73). Applicants must comply with 10 CFR 50.34(c), which requires that security plans describe how the applicant will meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 73. The security plans must list tests, inspections, audits, and other means to be used to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 11, “Criteria and Procedures for Determining Eligibility for Access to or Control over Special Nuclear Material,” and 10 CFR Part 73, if applicable.
