REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary – Organization responsible for the review of fire protection program (FPP). Secondary – Organization responsible for the review of risk-informed (RI) licensing actions. I. AREAS OF REVIEW This section of the Standard Review Plan (SRP) provides guidance for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff who reviews RI, Performance-Based (PB) FPP licensing actions submitted pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.48(c), “Energy,” (10 CFR 50.48(c)), and the guidance in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.205, “Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection for Existing Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants.” This guidance is applicable to operating reactor licensees under 10 CFR Part 50, “Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,” and covers the review of license amendment requests (LARs) for transition and post-transition to a RI/PB FPP based on the 2001 Edition of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805 (NFPA 805) for compliance with 9.5.1.2-2 Rev. 0 – December 2009 10 CFR 50.48(c).1 Also, the NRC staff previously issued an update to SRP Section 9.5.1 in March 2007; for the benefit of combined license (COL) applicants under 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.” SRP Section 9.5.1 focused on deterministic FPPs and advised that the primary review guidance document for NFPA 805 plants would be developed in the future. SRP Section 9.5.1.2 provides this guidance. Note that only the review of RI/PB FPP LARs is covered by this SRP Section. For example, exemptions from Appendix R, “Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979,” to 10 CFR Part 50 requirements or deviations from NUREG-0800 Section 9.5.1 license commitments are not covered in this SRP Section. In developing this SRP Section, the staff considered requirements of 10 CFR 50.48(c) and NFPA 805, 2001 Edition, to the
