A study was conducted by the staff to (1) re-evaluate the guidelines and bases used to determine what are the vital equipment and areas to be protected against radiological sabotage in nuclear power plants and (2) to recommend revised guidance. On the basis of this study, the staff has recommended a revised vital equipment/area protection philosophy: to protect as vital the reactor coolant pressure boundary and one train of equipment that would provide the capability to achieve and maintain hot shutdown. To implement this overall protection philosophy, the saff also has recommended new analysis assumptions or guidelines to identify the specific equipment and areas in each plant that require protection as ''vital''.
