Protection Engineers. (b) The fire brigade members' qualifications should include satisfactory completion of a physical examination for performing strenuous activity, and of the fire brigade training described in Position C.3.d.

Fire Hazards Analysis The fire hazards analysis should demonstrate that the plant will maintain the ability to perform safe shutdown functions and minimize radioactive releases to the environment in the event of a fire. The fire hazards analysis should be performed by qualified fire protection and reactor systems engineers to (1) consider potential in situ and transient fire hazards; (2) determine the consequences of fire in any location in the plant on the ability to safely shut down the reactor or on the ability to minimize and control the release of radioactivity to the environment; and (3) specify measures for fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, and fire contain- ment and alternative shutdown capability as required for each fire area containing structures, systems, and components important to safety that are in conformance with NRC
