ions.” The specific fire models documented are (1) NUREG-1805, “Fire Dynamics Tools (FDTs),” (2) Fire-Induced Vulnerability Evaluation (FIVE), Revision 1, (3) the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Consolidated Model of Fire Growth and Smoke Transport (CFAST), (4) the Electricité de France (EdF) MAGIC code, and (5) the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). Licensees may propose the use of fire models that have not been specifically V&V’d by the NRC; however, licensees are responsible for providing acceptable V&V of these fire models. The V&V documents for licensee-proposed fire models are subject to NRC review and approval. 9.5.1-26 Revision 5 - March 2007 APPENDIX D Supplemental Fire Protection Review Criteria for Power Uprates The purpose of this appendix is to provide guidance for the review of the fire protection information in an application for a power uprate. Power uprates typically result in an increase in decay heat generation following a plant trip; however, this change usually does not affect the elements of a FPP related to administrative controls, fire suppression and detection systems, fire barriers, the fire protection responsibilities of plant personnel, the procedures and resources necessary for the repair of systems required to achieve and maintain cold shutdown, nor does it usually result in an increase in the potential for a radiological release resulting from a fire. The licensee’s submittal should confirm that the power uprate results in no changes to these elements, and this finding should be reflected in the staff’s safety evaluation. If the licensee indicates that there is an impact on these elements, the staff should review the impact against the acceptance criteria in the applicable sections of this SRP to ensure that the Commission’s fire protection goals are satisfied. The systems relied upon to achieve and maintain safe shutdown following a fire may be affected by the power uprate due to the increase in
