- A. INTRODUCTION National Standards Committee N1f and is in final review by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
On February 1,
1973, the Atemic Energy Board of Standards Review.
Com nission had published in the Fedeml Regista proposed amendments to its regulation in 10 CFR Part in addition to the procedural measures described m 50, "Liansing of Production and Utilitation ANSI N18.17, the design of structures. systems and Facihties." Proposed 50.55c would require each components important to safety (e.g., such features as hcensee authorized to operate a nuclear reactor to redandancy, automation, independence. dive ru ty.

Proposed paragraph (c), " Physical Security placement of facilities and equipment) can also provide Plan," of @ 50.34 would require each application for protection against acts ofindustrial sabotage. Herefore, an operating license to include a physical security plan, it is considered prudent to enhance this form of Proposed paragraph (p) of 50.34 would require protection by protectiag the vital equipment agamst existing beensees who have not submitted a physical surreptitious acts of industrial sabotage that could security plan to submit such a plan to the Commission impair the performance of its intended safety functions.

Furthermore, in the design stage and that protective measures be 50.34 requires that an application for a construction described in the application for a construction permit.

This regulatory guide in proposed paragraphs (c) and (p) of Q 50.34.

REGULATORY POSITION against acts of industrial sabotage which could lead to a threat to the health and safety of the public. ne The requirements and recommendations contained Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards has been in the proposed ANSI Standard N!8.17.
