ea, room, or zone under consideration should be provided where the protection of systems whose functions are required for safehot shutdown is not provided by established fire suppression methods or by Position C.5.6b , or where redundant trains of 103 systems required for hot shutdown located in the same fire area may be subject to damage from fire suppression activities or from the rupture or inadvertent operation of fire suppression systems.104 e. Implementation of Fire Protection Programs (1) The fire protection program (plans, personnel, and equipment) for buildings storing new reactor fuel and for adjacent fire areas that could affect the fuel storage area should be fully operational before fuel is received at the site. Such adjacent areas include those whose flames, hot gases, and fire-generated toxic and corrosive products may jeopardize safety and surveillance of the stored fuel. (2) The fire protection program for an entire reactor unit should be fully operational prior to initial fuel loading in that reactor unit. (3) On reactor sites where there is an operating reactor and construction or modification of other units is under way, the fire protection program should provide for continuing evaluation of fire hazards. Additional fire barriers, fire protection capability, and administrative controls should be provided as necessary to protect the operating unit from construction fire hazards. 2. Administrative Controls DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 9.5.1-26 Administrative controls should be used to maintain the performance of the fire protection system and personnel.
