anagement systems that may be applied in meeting performance and prescriptive requirements in 10 CFR 73.55 and programs described in appendices to 10 CFR Part 73 for security plans and measures can be developed. Where site characteristics potentially present challenges or impediments, the review includes the information and identification of specific site design parameters, conditions, or limitations that must be considered. 3. The NRC regulations are performance-based (i.e., they establish an end state and allow an applicant to determine how it has achieved high assurance of protection against the design-basis threat (DBT)). Thus, the security plans and measures may be based on any approaches or methods that meet requirements for the design of a physical protection system and program that can address possible effects of the site characteristics on the security of a nuclear power plant. In general, the organizational structures and management systems developed for security plans are not affected by site characteristics. Therefore, the scope of technical review will focus primarily on key or significant site characteristics that may challenge or pose impediments and potentially require special considerations in the design of a physical protection system. The key elements of a physical protection system consist of capabilities for detection, assessment, communications, and security response for interdiction and neutralization of threats up to and including the DBT. 4. Table 1, “Site Characteristics Potentially Affecting Engineered and Administrative Controls for Physical Security,” identifies site characteristics that are considered for potential effects on developing security plans under the requirements in 10 CFR Part 73. Within the scope and under the requirements of 10 CFR 52.17, the staff reviews ESP applicant demonstrations that site characteristics do not present impediments to meeting requirements. The following site characteristics assessed for an ESP
