(AMR). Examples of fire protection components which are passive and long-lived, and that, 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 valve bodies, and fire protection tanks and pump casings, and fire hydrant casings. Active components are defined as components that perform an intended function as described in 10 CFR 54.4 with moving parts or with a change in configuration or properties, and they are excluded from the AMR. For example, smoke/heat detectors are considered active components. Certain passive and long-lived components are considered consumables and, therefore, are not subject to inclusion in the AMR. System filters, fire extinguishers, fire hoses, and air packs (within the scope of license renewal) may be excluded, on a plant-specific basis, from an AMR under 10 CFR Part 54.21(a)(1)(ii). These components are considered to be within the scope of license renewal and are typically replaced based on specific performance and condition monitoring activities that clearly establish a routine replacement practice based on a qualified life 9.5.1.1-23 Revision 0 – February 2009 of the component. These components may be excluded from an AMR based on specific performance and condition monitoring activities, provided that the applicant (1) identifies and lists in the license renewal application each component type subject to such replacement, and (2) identifies the applicable monitoring and replacement programs that conform to appropriate standards (e.g., NFPA standards). The applicant should state in the license renewal application that the components are included within scope but excluded from an AMR on the basis of the consumables position. In addition, the application should identify those fire protection system components that the licensee considers to be outside of the scope of equipment required for 10
