Content:
Plant support facilities (e.g., offices, maintenance shops, warehouses, temporary structures, and equipment storage yards), co-located power generating units (e.g., nuclear, coal, natural gas), nearby industrial facilities (e.g., chemical plants, refineries, manufacturing facilities) should be addressed in the fire protection program to the extent that fires and or explosions in these facilities may affect equipment important to safety. Fire protection systems and features should be adequate to protect against exposure fires from nearby facilities. Revision 4 - October 2003 37 D. GLOSSARY Administrative Controls - Policies, procedures and other elements that relate to the fire protection program. Administrative controls include but are not limited to: inspection, testing and maintenance of fire protection systems and features, compensatory measures for fire protection impairments, review of plant modifications impact on the fire protection program, fire prevention activities, fire protection staffing, control of combustible/flammable materials, and control of ignition sources. Advanced Reactors — Those reactors that are significantly different in operation from the current generation light water reactors and provide enhanced margins of safety or utilize simplified, inherent, or other innovative means to accomplish their safety functions. Alternative Shutdown — The capability to safely shut down the reactor in the event of a fire using existing systems that have been rerouted, relocated, or modified. Approved — Tested and accepted for a specific purpose or application by a recognized testing laboratory. Associated Circuits — Circuits that do not meet the separation requirements for safe shutdown systems and components and are associated with safe shutdown systems and components by common power supply, common enclosure, or the potential to cause spurious operations that could prevent or adversely affect the capability to safely shut down the reactor as a
