Inspections/Tests/Analyses An inspection of the protected area perimeter barrier will be performed.

Acceptance Criteria Physical barriers at the perimeter of the protected area are separated from any other barrier designated as a vital area barrier.

ITAAC Determination Basis An inspection of the VEGP Unit 4 protected area perimeter barrier was performed to verify that physical barriers at the perimeter of the Unit 4 protected area are separated from any other Unit 4 barrier designated as a vital area barrier and satisfy the applicable protected area perimeter physical barrier physical separation requirements of the VEGP Units 1-4 Physical Security Plan associated with 10 CFR 73.55(e)(8)(i)(C).
