is. External exposure hazards (e.g., flammable and combustible liquid or gas storage, auxiliary boiler units, adjacent industrial facilities or transportation systems, natural vegetation, and adjacent plant support facilities) that could potentially expose structures, systems, and components important to safety to damage from the effects (e.g., heat, flame, smoke) of fires. Wildfire hazards should be addressed if there is the potential for a wildfire to damage SSCs important to safety. c. The design, installation, operation, testing, and maintenance of automatic fire detection and suppression capability. The fire hazard analysis should describe the level of automatic protection provided relative to the specific fire hazards that have been identified. d. Manual suppression capability, including systems (e.g., hydrants, standpipes, extinguishers), fire brigades, manual firefighting equipment, plans and procedures, mutual aid, and accessibility of plant areas for manual fire fighting. e. Explosion-prevention measures in areas subject to potential explosive environments from flammable gases or other potentially energetic sources (e.g., chemical treatment systems, ion exchange columns, high voltage electrical equipment). f. Fire area layout and identification of fire barriers. Fire barrier design (e.g., materials, configuration, components, and qualification testing), installation, inspection, maintenance, and testing. Revision 4 - October 2003 15 Fire area construction (walls, floor, ceiling, dimensions, volume, ventilation, and congestion). The fire hazard analysis should provide sufficient information to determine that fire areas have been properly selected based on the hazards present and the need for separation of structures, systems, and components important to safety. g. Layout and configurations of structures, systems, and components important to safety. The protection for safe shutdown systems within a fire area should be determined on the basis of the worst
