Content:
in-depth that accounts for potential system failures or malfunctions (i.e., through diversity, independence, and separation). Information pertaining to the reliability and availability of a system for performing the intended security function should demonstrate that the system (as described) will achieve—or facilitate achieving—the general performance and requirements of 10 CFR 73.55(b). The design descriptions must be of sufficient detail to permit the development of detailed procurement, construction, and installation specifications by an applicant, in accordance with 10 CFR 52.48. The design descriptions are acceptable when they include sufficiently detailed information for all physical security systems within the scope of the requested DC. Acceptable design descriptions establish the design bases that support the designs, commitments, and acceptance criteria identified as PS-ITAAC and required ITA in the DC application. Also, the design descriptions for physical security systems must adequately describe how they satisfy the performance and prescriptive regulatory requirements. The descriptions for the design of physical security systems satisfy the requirements when the design descriptions provide sufficient detail to conform to the guidance in RG 1.206 for the design scope. The acceptable level of details for design is shown in Figure 1, “Combined License Application Referencing a Certified Design,” describing the design detail and integration of design information between the DC and a combined license application (COLA), which is applicable to design information of physical security systems provided to meet applicable performance and prescriptive regulatory requirements. The acceptance is based on meeting regulatory requirements in 10 CFR Part 73, and 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
