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 protection program for shutdown and decommissioned reactors as described in the licensee’s decommissioning plans and submittals. SPLB will review applications for advanced reactor designs to ensure the Commission’s enhanced fire protection criteria for these reactors is satisfied. SPLB reviews the overall fire protection program described in the licensee’s or applicant’s submittal (typically the SAR), with respect to the Acceptance Criteria in this SRP and the criteria contained in BTP SPLB 9.5.1, attached to this SRP section. Specifically, SPLB reviews the following: 1. Overall fire protection program requirements, including fire protection organization, administrative policies, fire prevention controls, applicable administrative, operations, maintenance and emergency procedures; quality assurance; access to and egress from fire areas, fire brigade and emergency response capability. 2. Evaluation of the potential fire hazards for areas containing equipment important to safety throughout the plant and the effect of postulated fires and explosions relative to Revision 4 - October 2003 9.5.1-3 maintaining the ability to perform safe shutdown functions, and minimizing radioactive releases to the environment. 3. Plant layout, egress routes, facility arrangements, and structural design features which provide separation or insolation of redundant systems important to safety. 4. Selection and design of fire detection, alarm, control and suppression on the basis of the fire hazards analysis; design, testing, qualification, and maintenance of fire barriers; use of noncombustible materials; design of floor drains, ventilation, emergency lighting and communication systems. 5. The fire protection system piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs); including redundancy of
