and trained, experienced personnel are responsible for the design and implementation of the fire protection program in accordance with BTP CMEB 9.5-1.37 2. CMEBSPLB reviews the analysis in the SAR of the fire potential in safety-related plant 38 areas and the hazard of fires to these areas to determine that the proposed fire protection program is able to maintain the ability to perform safe shutdown functions and to minimize radioactive releases to the environment. For new applications, the SPLB also reviews the fire protection program with regard to shutdown and refueling modes of operation to ensure that adequate protection is provided for systems necessary to remove decay heat and maintain the reactor coolant system below saturation conditions.39 3. CMEBSPLB reviews the FPP P&IDs and plant layout drawings to verify that facility 40 arrangement, buildings, and structural and compartmentation features which affect the methods used for fire protection, fire control, and control of hazards are acceptable for the protection of safety-related equipment. 4. CMEBSPLB determines that design criteria and bases for the detection and suppression 41 systems for smoke, heat and flame control are in accordance with the BTP guidelines and provide adequate protection for safety-related structures, systems, and components. The reviewer determines that fire protection support systems, such as emergency lighting and communication systems, floor drain systems, and ventilation and exhaust systems are designed to operate consistent with this objective. CMEBSPLB reviews the results of 42 an FPP failure modes and effect analysis (impairment) to assure that the entire fire protection system for one safety-related area cannot be impaired by a single failure. 5. For multiple unit sites, CMEBSPLB determines that protection is provided to operating 43 units during concurrent construction of other units. This includes an evaluation of the total fire protection program for each plant, the
