This appendix provides additional guidance applicable to new reactor FPPs. Many of the current fire protection requirements and guidelines for operating reactors were issued after the construction permits and/or operating licenses were approved by the Commission. The backfit of these requirements and guidelines to existing plant designs created the need for considerable flexibility in the application of the regulations on a plant-by-plant basis. For new reactor designs, fire protection requirements, including the protection of safe-shutdown capability and the prevention of radiological release, can be readily integrated in the planning and design phase for the plant. For applications submitted in accordance with 10 CFR Part 52, design elements of the FPP are addressed in the DC process. During the DC process, action items are identified that should be addressed by the COL applicant. These commitments include action items to establish the FPP for protection of SSCs important to safety as well as the procedures, equipment, and personnel necessary to implement the program. These commitments include, but are not limited to, updating the fire hazards analysis to address final plant design and administrative program elements (e.g., licensee fire protection staffing and organization, quality assurance, procedures, fire prevention programs, and training); fire brigade and emergency response capability; the final design of fire protection systems and features; and the design and analysis of post-fire safe- shutdown capability.
