cluding the DBT of radiological sabotage. To meet the performance-based regulatory requirements, the applicant should propose how it will provide or design a physical protection system (i.e., a system for detection, assessment, communications, delay, 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 protection systems (PSS), is satisfied when design descriptions include how PSS will be designed and how operational requirements (administrative controls) will be integrated to address each element of a physical protection system that contributes to the system’s capability to detect, assess, communicate, and respond (interdict and neutralize). It includes the design and specifications of engineered and administrative controls addressing the reliability and availability of PSS that are providing or are relied on by the administrative controls (i.e., people and procedures) to deliver high assurance of detection, assessment, interdiction, and neutralization. Therefore, the descriptions should address each element of a PSS and must meet the requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b)(i) and (b)(ii), as they relate to the design of a physical protection system. (ii) At a minimum, the detailed licensing bases should address the issues described in paragraphs i through vi of this SRP acceptance criteria to satisfy the performance requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b)(i) and (b)(ii) using engineered and related operational requirements for physical security. The information submitted must be sufficient to complete detailed design for procurement, construction, and installation of physical security systems and detailed administrative controls (outlining required staffing, equipment, and procedures) to meet regulatory requirements. a) Interior and Exterior
