e., beyond 72 hours) and should be capable of accomplishing their respective functions without damage to the fuel as demonstrated by design and analysis. Based on the discussion and recommendations of SECY-94-084, the passive decay heat removal systems should be capable of achieving and maintaining 215.6 EC (420 EF) or below for non-loss-of-coolant-accidents events. This safe-shutdown condition is predicated on demonstration of acceptable passive safety system performance and the acceptable resolution of RTNSS that are necessary for long-term shutdown. 9.5.1.1-17 Revision 0 – February 2009 3. Applicable Industry Codes and Standards In general, the FPP for new LWR designs should comply with the provisions specified in NFPA 804, AFire Protection for Advanced Light Water Reactors,@ related to the protection of post-fire safe-shutdown capability and the mitigation of a radiological release resulting from a fire. However, the NRC has not formally endorsed NFPA 804, and some of the guidance in the NFPA standard may conflict with regulatory requirements. Where conflicts occur, the applicable regulatory requirements and guidance will govern. The standards of record related to the design and installation of fire protection systems and features sufficient to satisfy NRC requirements in all new reactor designs are those NFPA codes and standards in effect 6 months prior to the submittal of the application under 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52. The codes/standards of record are governed by the DC (within 6 months of the DC document submittal date) for aspects of the FPP described in the DC. The COL should use industry codes and standards within 6 months of the COL application date for any aspects of the FPP not covered in the DC. 4. Other New Reactor Designs FPPs for proposed new non-LWR designs should meet the overall fire protection objectives outlined in RG 1.189 related to safe shutdown and radiological release, as well as the specific fire protection requirements where
