Revision 2 – October 2016 The security portion of the ESP application is acceptable when sufficient, complete, and accurate information is submitted and meets the regulatory requirements, and establishes the applicant’s licensing bases for the requested ESP that allows for the findings specified in 10 CFR 52.24(a)(1), 10 CFR 52.24(a)(3), and 10 CFR 52.24(a)(6). In accordance with requirement of 10 CFR 52.24(a)(2), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is notified upon NRC acceptance of an ESP application for technical review. After notification, DHS may consult on homeland security matters for the proposed site during the review of the ESP application or choose to defer consultation to the review of a COL application referencing the ESP. Typically, DHS provides consultation during a COL review. The regulatory requirement of 10 CFR 52.24(a)(2) is satisfied by the NRC staff notification of DHS of the pending ESP licensing action, and the considerations of DHS consultation results where applicable. The RS-002, Section 4.6, “Additional Review Guidance,” provides the review guidance on the plant parameter envelope (PPE) that, an ESP applicant that has not selected a particular reactor design expects, will bound the design characteristics of a reactor that might be constructed at a given site. A PPE serves as a surrogate for actual reactor design information. Use of this approach allows the applicant to demonstrate compliance with 10 CFR 52.17. Attachment 2 of RS-002 provides guidance on reviewing a PPE used in specific site safety assessments to determine if a reactor can be constructed and operated without undue risk to the health and safety of the public when necessary conditions or limitations are established for issuance of an ESP in accordance with 10 CFR 52.24(b). This approach applies to security and is acceptable for the reviewer to determine if the applicant’s security-related PPE values encompass the site characteristics consistent with 10
