REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Chemical Engineering Branch (CMEB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The purpose of the fire protection program (FPP) is to provide assurance, through a defense-in-depth design, that a fire will not prevent the performance of necessary safe plant shutdown functions and will not significantly increase the risk of radioactive releases to the environment in accordance with General Design Criteria 3 and 5. The fire protection program consists of fire detection and extinguishing systems and equipment, administrative controls and procedures, and trained personnel. The CMEB review of the fire protection program includes a review of the evaluation of potential fire hazards described in the applicant's Safety Analysis Report (SAR), and a review of the description of the fire protection system design showing the system characteristics and layout which define the 'fire prevention" and "fire protection" portions of the program. The CMEB reviews the total fire protection program described in the applicant's Safety Analysis Report (SAR) with respect to the criteria of Branch Technical Position CMEB 9.5-1 attached to this SRP section, specifically with respect to the following: 1. Overall fire protection program requirements, including the degree of involvement and assigned responsibility of management; fire protection administrative controls and quality assurance program; fire brigade training activities and coordination with offsite fire fighting organizations, including their capability in assisting in the extinguishment of plant fires. 2. Evaluation of potential fire hazards for safety-related areas throughout the plant and the effect of postulated fires relative to maintaining the ability Rev. 3 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants.
