increasing the potential for associated circuit interactions resulting from fire damage to energized power and control circuits. Reliance on station blackout to accomplish safe shutdown objectives is discussed in Section C.2.6. 6.4 Fragility of Structures, Systems, and Components to Fire Damage Fire damage to structures, systems, and components can result from heat, smoke, ignition, or suppression activities. When using a performance-based or risk-informed approach, the fragility of structures, systems, and components to fire damage, including the ability to recover affected structures, systems, and components, should be considered. C. FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM REVIEW GUIDELINES This section of the BTP provides review guidelines that address the various elements of a fire protection program for nuclear power plants. These guidelines are written to cover elements that are generally required of programs for plants that have been licensed to operate, although fire hazard analysis, safe shutdown analysis, and fire protection design elements described herein are applicable to new applications as well. Although new license applications or applications for certifications of new designs will not likely include details of organizational fire protection responsibilities and fire protection related administrative procedures, the applications should include appropriate commitments to these elements. As stated above, this section is structured to address review of fire protection for operating plants and new designs. Reviews to address special cases such as license renewal applications, shutdown/decommissioning plans (i.e., license termination), and fire PRA submittals should follow the guidelines in the attached appendices. 1. Fire hazards analysis A fire hazards analysis should demonstrate that the fire protection objectives are accomplished. 1.1 The fire hazards analysis objectives a. Identifies potential in situ and transient fire hazards; b. Specifies measures for fire
