2 of 2 Response Section Proposed Resolution of FAQ and basis for the proposal:
This FAQ asks to identify, where used in Chapter 3, applicable NFPA standards for review of programs structures, systems, and components as may be required for Chapter 3 transition using NFPA 805. Because existing fire protection programs for facilities generally provide a listing of NFPA standards used in the development, implementation and maintenance of the fire protection program, the term, applicable NFPA Standards, shall be considered to be equivalent to those NFPA standards identified in the Current License Bases (CLB) for the facility (generally found in the FSAR or approved Fire Protection Program), Where used in NFPA 805, Chapter 3.
Because these NFPA standards have been previously approved by the staff for a given facility, this further establishes their applicability, and applications of the general concept of safe today, safe tomorrow as the facility transitions to the 805 standard.
If appropriate, provide proposed rewording of guidance for inclusion in next revision.
As follows; Clarification NFPA 805 specific sections as may be applied under NEI 04-02, to be included in (New) Appendix K, to NEI 04-02 upon approval of specific clarification (final formatting to be provided by NEI contract writers).
Specific clarification to NFPA 805, Chapter 3, from FAQ 06-00020, Where used in NFPA 805, Chapter 3, the term, applicable NFPA Standards, is considered to be equivalent to those NFPA standards identified in the Current License Basis (CLB) for the facility (generally found in the FSAR or approved fire protection program).
