Part 72 are not within the scope of this guidance. For plant areas that are considered property loss concerns only, the fire protection requirements applicable to these areas are determined solely by the licensee. The licensee should maintain a fire protection program as long as there are radiological hazards on site, or until termination of the license and release of the site for unrestricted use. 2. Fire Hazards Analysis The fire hazards analysis for shutdown/decommissioning should provide a comprehensive evaluation of the facility fire hazards, the fire protection capability relative to the identified hazards, and the ability to protect spent fuel and other radioactive materials from potential fire- induced releases. The fire hazards analysis in place at the time of plant operation may be used as the baseline, but should be re-evaluated and revised as necessary to reflect the unique or different fire protection issues and strategies associated with decommissioning. Specific considerations that should be addressed in the revised fire hazards analysis include: a. Changes to fire hazards including, but not limited to, combustible loading from sources such as equipment lay-down areas, waste accumulation and storage areas, and materials necessary to support decontamination and dismantlement activities; increases in hazards from hot work during dismantlement of facility structures, systems, and components; and installation of temporary structures and support systems (e.g., electrical, heating, and ventilation) that may impact plant fire hazards. b. Changes to plant fire protection administrative controls, systems, and features as facilities are modified, decommissioned, and dismantled. Revision 4 - October 2003 46 c. Identification, evaluation and protection of radiological hazards including, spent fuel, contaminated plant areas and waste storage. Structures, systems, and components important to minimizing the release of radioactive materials under fire and post-fire
