pment is properly designed and installed in accordance with industry standards; heat generating equipment or equipment with hot surfaces is properly cooled or separated from combustible materials; and systems containing flammable and combustible liquids or Revision 4 - October 2003 22 gases are properly designed and located to minimize the exposure of these materials to ignition sources. c. Use of temporary electrical services is routine, particularly during maintenance and modification outages. Procedures and practices should provide assurance that temporary power sources connected to plant systems have documented engineering review and evaluation, including determinations that the temporary service will not adversely impact SSCs important to safety. d. Procedures and practices should provide for control of temporary heating devices. Use of space heaters and maintenance equipment (e.g., tar kettles for roofing operations) in plant areas should be strictly controlled and reviewed by the plant’s fire protection staff. Engineering procedures and practices should provide assurance that temporary heating devices are properly installed according to the listing, including required separations from combustible materials and surfaces. Regulatory Guide 1.189, Regulatory Position 2.2 provides additional guidelines and criteria for control of ignition sources for operating reactors. Regulatory Guide 1.191, Position 3.5 contains similar guidelines for those plants that have permanently ceased operation. 5.4 Housekeeping practices The fire protection program should describe administrative procedures and practices that govern routine housekeeping. Housekeeping involves plant cleanliness and routine inspection to provide assurance that plant conditions do not present unnecessary fire hazards or hazards to the safe access to and egress from areas containing equipment important to safety. Operational and maintenance practices should include provisions for timely response and
