ATTACHMENT Revision 4 - October 2003 9.5.1-2 • building design for fire protection including layout of fire areas, fire barrier design and qualification testing, interior finish, electrical system design, ventilation system design, drainage systems, and other systems and features for minimizing the threat of fire • safe shutdown analysis and procedures that demonstrate the plant can achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire • probabilistic risk/safety analysis (PRA) that identifies relative fire risks and vulnerabilities The specific areas of the fire protection program to be reviewed will vary depending on the type and scope of the applicant’s or licensee’s submittal. This SRP can be applied in the review of changes to fire protection programs for operating reactors, including those subject to license renewal; fire protection programs for shutdown/decommissioned reactors; applications for new designs, and other related submittals, such as fire PRAs. For operating reactors, SPLB reviews the overall fire protection program as described in the licensee’s Safety Analysis Report (SAR), including the fire hazards analysis, the description of the fire prevention and protection features, and the safe shutdown analysis. Changes to the approved fire protection program, such as exemptions or deviations that require NRC approval, are reviewed to ensure that fire protection objectives will continue to be met. The cumulative effect of previously approved changes on the effectiveness of the fire protection program will be evaluated as part of the review for new submittals. SPLB will review changes to the plant fire protection program associated with requests for power uprates to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the capability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown following a fire. SPLB will review proposed changes to the plant fire
