FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Alex R. Klein, Chief, Fire Protection 

Branch, Division of Risk Assessment, 

Office of the Nuclear Reactor 

Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This SRP, 

NUREG–0800, has been prepared to 

establish criteria that the Office of 

Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff use to 

evaluate license amendment requests if 

the application meets the NRC’s 

regulations. The SRP is not a substitute 

for the NRC’s regulations, and 

compliance with it is not required. 

However, applicants are required to 

identify differences in design features, 

analytical techniques, and procedural 

measures proposed for a facility and 

corresponding SRP acceptance criteria, 

and evaluate how the proposed 

alternatives to the acceptance criteria 

provide an acceptable method of 

complying with the NRC’s regulations. 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Section 50.48, ‘‘Fire 

protection’’ (10 CFR 50.48) provides the 

NRC requirements for fire protection for 

nuclear power plants (NPPs). Under 10 

CFR 50.48(c), a licensee of an existing 

plant may choose to adopt a RI/PB FPP 

that meets the requirements of NFPA 

805, ‘‘Performance-Based Standard for 

Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor 

Electric Generating Plants,’’ 2001 

edition, as incorporated therein, as an 

alternative to meeting the requirements 

of 10 CFR 50.48(b) for plants licensed to 

operate before January 1, 1979, or the 

approved FPP for existing plants 

licensed to operate after January 1, 1979. 

The agency posts its issued staff 

guidance in the agency external Web 

page (http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ 

doc-collections/nuregs/staff/ 

sr0800/ch9/). 

The NRC staff is issuing this notice to 

solicit public comments on the 

proposed SRP Section 9.5.1.2 and is 

being issued for the first time. After the 

NRC staff considers any public 

comments, it will make a determination 

regarding the proposed SRP Section 

9.5.1.2. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day 

of January 2009. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
