ld demonstrate that the fire protection objectives are accomplished. 1.1 The fire hazards analysis objectives a. Identifies potential in situ and transient fire hazards; b. Specifies measures for fire prevention, detection, suppression, and confinement for fire areas containing structures, systems, and components important to safety; and; c. Determines the consequences of fire in any location in the plant on the ability to safely shut down the reactor and on the ability to minimize and control the release of radioactivity to the environment. Revision 4 - October 2003 14 1.2 Fire hazard analysis scope and content The fire hazards analysis verifies that the NRC fire protection program guidelines have been met. The analysis should identify and justify any deviations from regulatory guidelines. Justification for deviations from the regulatory guidelines should show that an equivalent level of protection will be achieved. Deletion of a protective feature without compensating alternative protection measures is typically unacceptable, unless it is clearly demonstrated that the protective measure is not needed because of the design and arrangement of the particular plant. The fire hazards analysis should address the following elements and attributes: a. The NRC fire protection requirements and guidance that apply. b. In situ and potential transient fire and explosion hazards, including amounts, types, configurations, and locations of flammable and combustible materials (e.g., cables, lube oil, diesel fuel oil, flammable gases, chemicals, building materials and finishes) associated with operations, maintenance, and refueling activities. The continuity of combustible materials, the potential for fire spread, and sources of ignition should be identified and described in the analysis. External exposure hazards (e.g., flammable and combustible liquid or gas storage, auxiliary boiler units, adjacent industrial facilities or transportation systems, natural vegetation, and adjacent
