r meeting all applicable requirements in 10 CFR Part 73. The construction and installation of physical security systems are verified through the performance of required ITA and the satisfaction of the associated acceptance criteria to provide a basis for the 10 CFR 52.103(g) findings. 5. The Commission may not grant a construction permit (CP), operating license (OL), or COL unless it determines that an application meets the standards and requirements of the Act and NRC regulations. This includes notifications, if any, to other agencies and bodies. If an application for a license references a certified standard design, the certified standard design provides, in part, the design of physical security systems (i.e., the portion of the design) within the scope of the certified standard design. 6. The sections of 10 CFR Part 73 referenced in this SRP section specify the requirements for designs of physical security systems relied on or credited to implement a physical protection program that protects against internal and external threats up to and including the DBT of radiological sabotage at all times. Compliance with the performance and prescriptive requirements of 10 CFR Part 73, as described in this section, is required for issuance of a COL or an operating license for a nuclear power reactor pursuant to 10 CFR Part 52 or 10 CFR Part 50, respectively. The DC application, in part, describes the designs of physical security systems that will be used to establish the engineered controls provided to integrate with administrative controls for the capabilities to detect, assess, interdict, and neutralize the DBT of radiological sabotage. 7. The requirements of 10 CFR 52.97, “Issuance of Combined Licenses,” requires that the Commission may issue a COL if it finds that: the applicable standards and requirements of the Act and the Commission’s regulations have been met; there is reasonable assurance that the facility will be constructed and will operate in conformity
