  • Standard Review Plan 13.6.2 Physical Security
    NUREG-0800 U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION STANDARD REVIEW PLAN 13.6.2 PHYSICAL SECURITY - DESIGN CERTIFICATION REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary – Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response Secondary – None I. AREAS OF REVIEW For design certification (DC) applications, the review involves the evaluation of the physical security program design, to include those physical protection and mitigative measure elements identified to be within the scope of an applicant’s design. The review must include the required physical security elements of a DC application and may also include a review of the voluntarily submitted physical protection and mitigative measure elements. DRAFT - August 2007 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN This Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, has been prepared to establish criteria that the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants intends to use in evaluating whether an applicant/licensee meets the NRC's regulations. The Standard Review Plan 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 an acceptable method of complying with the NRC regulations. The standard review plan sections are numbered in accordance with corresponding sections in Regulatory Guide 1.70, "Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR Edition)." Not all sections of Regulatory Guide 1.70 have a corresponding review plan section.

Article History: Received: 11 January 2021; Revised: 12 February 2021; Accepted: 27 March 2021; Published online: 10 May 2021 Abstract-The actual need of the today’s organizations and residential areas is security frameworks. The security methods which were implemented on those areas are now frequently facing major issues like break-in burglar easily. And also, the major obstacle with home security is people who are being incautious about the visitors or intruders before opening the door while security alarm goes off unfortunately. As a result, to attain the desired security, there will be an additional need of particularly skilled personnel to increase the level of safety frameworks. As a human being, those personnel will likely make faults which leads to uncertainty of persons entering into the residential zones. The main motive of the project is to provide the better home security against potential harm made by intruders and unknown visitors by recognizing them with predictable accuracy. This security system consists of hardware part and software part. The image capturing is done by camera which comes under hardware part, whereas face detection, face recognition and voice notification are all will be done based on algorithms under software part. Keywords: Facial Detection and Recognition, Feature extraction, FaceNet, Home Security, SVM 1.

The publications by means of which the IAEA establishes standards are issued in the IAEA Safety Standards Series. This series covers nuclear safety, radiation safety, transport safety and waste safety. The publication categories in the series are Safety Fundamentals, Safety Requirements and Safety Guides. Information on the IAEA’s safety standards programme is available on the IAEA Internet site http://www-ns.iaea.org/standards/ The site provides the texts in English of published and draft safety standards. The texts of safety standards issued in Arabic, Chinese, French, Russian and Spanish, the IAEA Safety Glossary and a status report for safety standards under development are also available. For further information, please contact the IAEA at: Vienna International Centre, PO Box 100, 1400 Vienna, Austria. All users of IAEA safety standards are invited to inform the IAEA of experience in their use (e.g. as a basis for national regulations, for safety reviews and for training courses) for the purpose of ensuring that they continue to meet users’ needs.
