conforming to applicable and associated acceptance criteria for the design of the specific physical security system. In most cases, design descriptions provided by the applicant that are confirmatory statements or restatements of regulatory requirements and that do not provide sufficient descriptions and do not illustrate or demonstrate how the design of a system will satisfy the performance or prescriptive regulatory requirement and conform to SRP acceptance criteria will not be acceptable for satisfying the requirements of 10 CFR 52.47(a)(9). However, when the regulatory requirement is sufficiently prescriptive as to how it must be met (e.g., explicit configuration, specific times or quantities of weight, specific dimensions, exact type of material for construction), confirmatory statements or restatements of regulatory requirements may be sufficient to satisfy regulatory requirements. The design descriptions must provide a sufficient level of detail on the proposed physical security systems within the standard design for the Commission to determine that all applicable regulatory requirements will be met. The applicant must also describe in detail how the physical 13.6.2-14 Revision 2 – June 2015 security systems will be designed, constructed, and installed to meet intended security functions and demonstrate that these systems and structures can be verified through ITA, including construction and installation verification acceptance testing. The information below provides the specific SRP acceptance criteria for the design of security systems. The acceptance criteria are established based on regulatory requirements and are listed in the order that they appear in 10 CFR 73.55. The staff should only apply the acceptance criteria below that are applicable to the design 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
