CFR Title: 

Content:
design provides fire protection for redundant shutdown systems in the reactor containment building that will ensure, to the extent practicable, that one shutdown division will be free of fire damage. Additionally, the applicant’s design ensures that smoke, hot gases, or fire suppressants will not migrate into other fire areas to an extent that could adversely affect safe-shutdown capabilities, including operator actions. The applicant has demonstrated that SSCs important to safety, including SSCs that are shared among multiple units, are adequately protected from the effects of fires and explosions. The applicant’s design has used noncombustible and heat resistant materials whenever practical and has provided fire detection, suppression, and firefighting capabilities of appropriate capacity and capability to minimize the adverse effects of fire on SSCs important to safety. The staff concludes that the proposed ITAAC for the FPP provide reasonable assurance that the implementation of the FPP will be in accordance with the approved design and operational program descriptions (where applicable). The staff has included FPP and its implementation milestones within the license condition on operational program implementation. For DC and COL reviews, the findings will also summarize the staff’s evaluation of requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) and COL action items relevant to this SRP section. In addition, to the extent that the review is not discussed in other SER sections, the findings will summarize the staff's evaluation of the ITAAC, including design acceptance criteria, as applicable. The staff concludes that for differences between the licensee’s FPP and the SRP acceptance criteria, the proposed alternatives provide an acceptable method of complying with the NRC regulations. Sufficient information has been provided for the staff to resolve all safety and security issues in its review of any departures from the DC.
