ed departure is inconsistent with one or more of the Commission’s regulations. 7. Fire Protection Program License Amendments - New Reactors The staff reviews license amendments for modifications to, additions to, or deletions from the terms of a new reactor COL, including the ITAAC, in accordance with 10 CFR 52.97(b)(2). IV. EVALUATION FINDINGS The reviewer verifies that the applicant has provided sufficient information and that the review and calculations (if applicable) support conclusions of the following type to be included in the staff's safety evaluation report. The reviewer also states the bases for those conclusions. 1. New Reactor Design Certifications and Combined License Applications The staff concludes that the applicant’s FPP design criteria and associated implementation are acceptable and meet the applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 and Part 52, and are consistent with Commission policy contained in SECY 90-016, SECY 93-087, and SECY 94-084 (plants with passive safe-shutdown), as well as other 9.5.1-10 Revision 5 - March 2007 applicable acceptance criteria (staff should specify the applicable criteria depending on the type and scope of review). As described above, the staff finds that the applicant has met the guidelines of the applicable regulatory guides and related industry standards. The applicant has demonstrated that safe shutdown can be achieved even assuming that all equipment in any one fire area (excluding the control room and reactor containment) will be rendered inoperable by fire and that re-entry into the fire area for repairs and operator actions is not possible. The applicant’s design has provided an independent alternative shutdown capability that is physically and electrically independent of the control room. The applicant’s design provides fire protection for redundant shutdown systems in the reactor containment building that will ensure, to the extent practicable, that one shutdown division will be free of fire damage.
