thick that has a flame spread rating not higher than 50 when measured using ASTM E-84 Test "Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials." Raceway - refer to Regulatory Guide 1.75. Restricted Area - any area to which access is controlled by the licensee for purposes of protecting individuals from exposure to radiation and radioactive materials. Safety-Related Systems and Components - systems and components required to shut down the reactor, mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents, or maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. Secondary Containment - a structure that completely encloses primary containment, used for controlling containment leakage. Sprinkler System - a network of piping connected to a reliable water supply that will distribute the water throughout the area protected and will discharge the water through sprinklers in sufficient quantity either to extinguish the fire entirely or to prevent its spread. The system, usually activated by heat, includes a controlling valve and a device for actuating an alarm when the system is in operation. The following categories of sprinkler systems are defined in NFPA 13, "Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems": Wet-Pipe System Dry-Pipe System Preaction System Deluge System Combined Dry-Pipe and Preaction System On-Off System Standpipe and Hose Systems - a fixed piping system with hose outlets, hose, and nozzles connected to a reliable water supply to provide effective fire hose streams to specific areas inside the building. Water SpraySytem - a network of piping similar to a sprinkler system except thatit utilines open-head spray nozzles. NFPA .15, "Water Spray Fixed Systems," provides guidance on these systems. C. POSITION 1. Fire Protection Program Requirements a. Fire Protection Program A fire protection program should be established at each nuclear power plant. The program should establish the fire protection policy for the protection of structures, systems, and components
