Rewew Procedures
AUXILIARY SYSTEMS
The reviewer should evaluate the discussions of potential fires; provisions for early
detection, including during those times when the buildings are not occupied;
methods for isolating, suppressing, and extinguishing fires; passive features
designed into the facility to limit fire consequences; response organization training
and availability to fight fires as detailed in the emergency plan; designs of reactor
systems that can ensure safe reactor shutdown in the event of fire; and potential
radiological consequences to the public, the stafl and the environment if
firefighting efforts are unsuccessful.
Evaluation Findings
This section of the SAR should contain sufficient information to support the
following types of conclusions, which will be included in the stafs safety
evaluation report:
* The plans for preventing fires ensure that the facility meets local and
national fire and building codes.'
* The systems designed to detect and combat fires at the facility can function
ias described and limit dainage and consequences at any time.
* 'Personnel training programs as described in the facility emergency plan and
in Chapter 12, "Conduct of.Operations," provide reasonable assurance that
training for fire protection is adequately planned.
* The potential radiological consequences of a fire will not prevent safe
reactor shutdown, and any fire-related release of radioactive material from
the facility to the unrestricted environment has been adequately addressed
in th'e apprpriate sections of the facilityemergency plan.
* Any release of radioactive material as a result of fire would not cause.
radiation exposures that exceeded the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20.
' Acceptable-technical specifications related to fire 'protection have been
proposed and justified (applicable). These technical sgecifications
include acceptable requirements for testing and surveillance to ensure
operability of fire detection and protection equipment.
