upport conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report (SER). The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. 1. New Reactor DCs and COL Applications The staff concludes that the applicant=s FPP design criteria and associated implementation are acceptable and meet the applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 9.5.1.1-10 Revision 0 – February 2009 and Part 52, and are consistent with Commission policy contained in SECY 90-016, SECY 93-087, and SECY 94-084 (plants with passive safe-shutdown), as well as other applicable acceptance criteria (staff should specify the applicable criteria depending on the type and scope of review). As described above, the staff finds that the applicant has met the guidelines of the applicable RGs and related industry standards. The applicant has demonstrated that safe shutdown can be achieved even assuming that all equipment in any one fire area (excluding the control room and reactor containment) will be rendered inoperable by fire and that re-entry into the fire area for repairs and operator actions is not possible. The applicant=s design has provided an independent alternative shutdown capability that is physically and electrically independent of the control room. The applicant=s 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
