RG 5.75, “Training and Qualification of Security Personnel at Nuclear Power Reactor Facilities.” 14. RG 5.76, “Physical Protection Programs at Nuclear Power Reactors.” 15. RG 5.77, “Insider Mitigation Program.” SRP Acceptance Criteria Specific SRP acceptance criteria that the NRC finds acceptable for meeting the relevant requirements of the agency’s regulations identified above are listed below for the review described in this SRP section. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC’s regulations, and compliance with it is not required. However, an applicant is required to identify differences between the design features, analytical techniques, and procedural measures proposed for its facility and the SRP acceptance criteria and evaluate how the proposed alternatives to the SRP acceptance criteria provide acceptable methods of compliance with NRC regulations. 1. 10 CFR 73.55(e). Physical barriers must be designed and constructed to protect against the design-basis threat of radiological sabotage; account for site-specific conditions; perform their required function in support of the licensee physical protection program; provide deterrence, delay, or support access control; and support the effective implementation of the licensee’s protective strategy. Consistent with the stated function to be performed, openings in any barrier or barrier system must be secured and monitored to prevent exploitation of the opening. The reactor control room; the CAS; the location within which the last access control function for access to the protected area is performed; and, in accordance with 10 CFR 73.55(i)(4)(iii), the SAS must be bullet resisting. The protected area perimeter barrier must be designed and constructed to be separated from any other barrier designated as a vital area physical barrier. Penetrations through the protected area barrier must be
