K06 assurance and procurement architecture
Facility Patterns
Direct answer
K06 separates four materially different facility contexts. No profile is a generic certificate, final design, licensing conclusion, or substitute for site-specific consequence and authority analysis.
Four starting profiles
NON-CERTIFYING REFERENCE PATTERN
Existing nuclear-plant colocation
Treat the licensed nuclear plant, grid interconnection, datacenter, shared services, and contractual boundaries as one consequence network while preserving separate authorities and deterministic safety boundaries.
10 priority controls · 6 work packages · 4 tailoring questions
NON-CERTIFYING REFERENCE PATTERN
Part 53 advanced-reactor campus
Use security-by-design, technology-inclusive licensing evidence, consequence analysis, and selected Part 73 pathways from the beginning; never infer election, applicability, or approval from the existence of the final rule.

NON-CERTIFYING REFERENCE PATTERN
Isolated microreactor campus
Design for degraded communications, sparse local support, independent safe-state behavior, delayed external response, protected fuel and maintenance chains, and verifiable restoration without assuming autonomous force authority.

NON-CERTIFYING REFERENCE PATTERN
Non-nuclear high-consequence datacenter
Apply the same consequence, autonomy, evidence, recovery, power, cooling, management-plane, and physical-protection discipline even when nuclear licensing does not apply.

Tailoring rule
A profile is a structured starting point. It becomes useful only after the named facility's license basis, ownership, power topology, control boundaries, communications, cooling, emergency arrangements, mission authority, and evidence obligations are inspected.
