based FPP in accordance with 10 CFR 50.48(c). Otherwise, unless specifically noted, the review guidance in this SRP section is applicable to the FPP for both existing and new reactor plants. The staff reviews the FPP described in the licensee’s or applicant’s submittal with reference to the Acceptance Criteria in this SRP. Specifically, the staff reviews the following to the extent appropriate for the type and scope of the licensee submittals: 1. FPP administration with respect to fire protection organization; administrative policies; fire prevention controls; applicable administrative, operations, maintenance and emergency procedures; quality assurance; access to and egress from fire areas; fire brigade capability; and emergency response capability. 2. Evaluation of the potential fire hazards for areas containing equipment important to safety throughout the plant, for the effect of postulated fires and explosions relative to maintaining the ability to perform safe-shutdown functions, and for minimizing radioactive releases to the environment. 9.5.1-3 Revision 5 - March 2007 3. Plant layout, access and egress routes with respect to 1) firefighting and local operator manual actions, 2) facility arrangements, and 3) structural design features that provide separation or isolation of redundant systems important to safety. 4. Selection and design of fire detection, alarm, control and suppression systems on the basis of the fire hazards analysis; of design, testing, qualification, and maintenance of fire barriers, including penetration seals; of use of noncombustible materials; and of design of floor drains, ventilation, emergency lighting and communication systems. 5.
