II. Further Information
The NRC seeks public comment on the proposed revised section of the SRP. This SRP section has been developed to assist NRC staff with the physical security review of applications for design certifications, incorporate licensing experience from previous design certification application reviews, and to inform applicants and other affected entities of proposed SRP guidance regarding an acceptable method by which to evaluate the affected portions of applications with respect to the requirements of Part 73 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation s (10 CFR).
Following NRC staff evaluation of public comments, the NRC intends to incorporate the final approved guidance into the next revision of NUREG-0800. The SRP is guidance for the NRC staff. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC regulations, and compliance with the SRP is not required.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 19th day of September 2013.
