ssioning. The operating plant fire protection program provides the baseline analysis and description of plant fire hazards, administrative controls, physical protection features and emergency response capabilities. Many of these elements will be carried over to the decommissioning fire protection program. 1.4.2 Decommissioning Fire Protection Program Revision 4 - October 2003 45 The fire protection program is expected to change throughout the various phases of decommissioning. Initially, with spent fuel removed from the reactor and stored in the spent fuel pool, the development and maintenance of a comprehensive decommissioning fire protection program is appropriate to provide assurance that the probability of fires affecting the spent fuel or other radiological hazards is minimized, and the consequences of fires, should they occur, are adequately mitigated. As decommissioning progresses, and the spent fuel is moved to an independent storage facility or permanent repository, the fire protection requirements for the plant may be scaled down in accordance with the diminishing radiological hazard. However, even in the absence of spent fuel, a fire protection program should be maintained that ensures adequate protection from the fire-induced release of radioactive material from contaminated plant areas, and combustible wastes. The scope of the decommissioning fire protection program as described in this guidance is limited to those decommissioning activities associated with the radiological hazards present in the plant, or ancillary facilities (e.g., on-site waste storage) that directly support the decommissioning process. Fire protection requirements for independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs) that are licensed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 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
