NEI 95-10 provides the methodology for screening of fire protection SSCs. When evaluating license renewal applications, it is important to note that the scope of SSCs included in 10 CFR Part 50.48 goes beyond the protection of only safety-related equipment. In accordance with General Design Criterion (GDC) 3, “Fire Protection,” equipment required to comply with 10 CFR Part 50.48 is broad and includes fire protection SSCs needed to also minimize the effects of a fire and to prevent the release of radioactive material to the environment. If applicable, the scoping methods used by an applicant should include review of any commitments made for compliance with Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1, “Guidelines for fire Protection for Nuclear Plants Docketed Prior to July 1, 1976,” or 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, “Fire Protection Program For Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979.” 10 CFR Part 54.21 states that for those components with intended functions that are identified within the scope of license renewal, those components which are passive (do not perform their functions with moving parts) and long-lived (are not subject to replacement based on qualified life or routine replacement) are subject to an aging management review (AMR). Examples of fire protection components which are passive and long-lived, and therefore would be subject to an AMR, include fire barrier assemblies (e.g. ceilings, damper housing, doors, floors, penetration seals and walls), sprinkler heads, fire suppression system piping and valves, and fire protection tanks and pump casings, and fire hydrant casings. Certain passive and long-lived components are considered consumables and therefore are not subject to inclusion in the AMR.
