B/B AMENDMENT 20 DECEMBER 2002 2.0 FIRE HAZARDS ANALYSIS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section of the report contains the results of the Fire Hazards Analysis required by Sections A.2 and D.1(b) of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1. These results have been utilized in reevaluating the existing Fire Protection Program and in providing a basis for the comparison of this program with the guidelines of Appendix A. These results provide the information requested in Enclosure 2 to Mr. R. S. Boyd's letter to Mr. R. L.
Bolger of September 30, 1976.
To satisfy the NRC requirement for a qualified fire protection engineer, the assistance and technical direction of Schirmer Engineering Corporation was utilized in the initial preparation of this fire hazards analysis.
2.1.1 Assumptions This fire hazards analysis was based on the following assumptions:
a.
Fire areas are designated, based on the existing conditions, as those portions of a building which are separated from other areas by physical boundaries whose construction approaches that of a rated fire barrier. This is necessary since the plant did not incorporate the "fire-area" concept in its original design. Based on the relatively low fire loading which exists throughout the plant, the fire resistance of existing barriers was found sufficient. For areas of high fire loadings, upgrading of some barriers was performed in areas where postulated fires might have affected safety-related systems.
b.
Fire areas are further subdivided into fire zones for purposes of this analysis. Within the major plant structures, fire zone boundaries generally consist of walls, floors and ceilings of substantial construction. These boundaries could be qualified as 3-hour rated fire barriers if the openings and penetrations were properly protected with rated seals, dampers, doors, etc.
Separation of fire areas into zones is also accomplished in some cases by elevation. This has been done for convenience in the analysis, in that it is questionable that a credible fire will spread between elevations, even though there are floor openings for stairwells and equipment removal hatches. This assumption is based on the relatively low fire loading that generally exists throughout those areas. For equipment located outdoors, and for outbuildings, fire zone boundaries are somewhat arbitrarily assigned based primarily on distance and separation from other equipment and buildings.
2.1-1
B/B AMENDMENT 24 DECEMBER 2010 c.
The calculation of fire loads in a given fire zone is accomplished by considering the effect of the potential total heat release on the total floor area. Although this does not account for combustible concentrations, it provides a more realistic picture of the effects of a potential fire than considering a maximum concentration in a limited area. The floor areas specified for each zone may be lower than the actual floor areas calculated from staion architectural and structural design drawings. The floor areas listed in the FHA are used in the station combustible load by the listed floor area.
Therefore, using a smaller floor area in the FHA will establish additional margin and create a more conservative heat load. Due to the spaciousness of a typical power plant, the total unimpeded area will function as a heat sink, to some extent, due to the temperature differentials that will be established by a 2.1-1a
B/B AMENDMENT 20 DECEMBER 2002 postulated fire. This method still provides a relative indication of areas of combustible concentrations and a basis for evaluation of fire barrier adequacy and protective system design.
d.
The arbitrary 3-hour rating of barriers has not been used as suggested in BTP CMEB 9.5-1 but rather the fire hazards analysis was conducted. Most fire barriers in the plant had been designated and ratings determine prior to the issuance of NRC fire protection guidance documents. The analysis approach taken was to examine the fire loading in each zone and on the basis of the fire loading determine if the fire barriers are adequate. The factors considered when evaluating the adequacy of existing walls and floors, whether or not they carry a fire rating, include the following: 1) the materials of construction and design details of the wall or floor;
- 2) the combustible materials present in the area or zone, and the calculated fire loading; and 3) the potential impact of a fire in the area or zone on both safety-related and safe shutdown systems and components. A fire loading of less than 30,000 Btu/ft2, when the combustible material within the are or zone consists primarily of Class A combustibles, was assumed to be incapable of damaging exposed structural steel. The actual fire ratings of plant walls and floors are described in Section 2.3.
e.
Transient fire loads are unidentified combustibles, generally given as being equivalent in Btu content to the fire load that would be contributed by the combustion of one or more 55-gallon drums of lubricating oil.
f.
The design-basis fire for each individual zone is the most severe fire evaluated in both the Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) and the Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA). The design-basis fire is a non-mechanistic fire which is assumed to consume all combustibles within the fire zone. All unprotected equipment and cables which are subject to fire damage are assumed to be damaged. The design-basis fire concept dictates the design of protective measures. In the majority of areas, the design-basis fire is not considered a credible event.
Fire initiation is assumed, as is the failure of existing automatic protection systems as suggested in Brach Technical Position CMEB 9.5-1. Thus, the analysis is highly conservative.
g.
Electrical cable tray fire propagation is limited by the provision of existing horizontal and vertical fire breaks. These breaks are described in Appendix 5.2.
2.1-2
B/B AMENDMENT 20 DECEMBER 2002 h.
In the analysis of fires affecting fluid systems, the fluid system pressure integrity is assumed to remain intact. Fire damage assumptions for mechanical system components are as follows: Tanks, heat exchangers, passive check valves, and piping are assumed to be unaffected by fire, and their ability to perform their design function, both during and following the fire, is assumed to remain unimpaired. Manual valves are assumed to remain operable following extinguishment of the fire and return of the valve body and handle to the normal ambient temperature. Motor operated valves are assumed to be electrically disabled by fires; however, the valve itself, and its handwheel and associated gear train are assumed to be undamaged. Motor operated valves are assumed to remain operable via local manual action following extinguishement of the fire and return of the valve body, handwheel and related components to the normal ambient temperature. Solenoid operated valves and air operated, solenoid controlled valves are assumed to be electrically disabled by fires; these valves are assumed to fail to their loss of power/loss of air positions. If these valves are provided with manual operation capability, then they are assumed to remain operable via local manual action following extinguishment of the fire and return of the valve body and manual operator to normal ambient temperature. Pumps are assumed to be electrically disabled by fires; however, the pump body and fluid system pressure integrity are assumed to remain intact.
i.
Within the limits of the separation criteria described in Appendix 5.2 and the protection afforded by the existing fire breaks, it is assumed that physical separation is maintained between redundant Class 1E circuits so that any fire is highly unlikely to affect its counterpart circuit.
j.
Credit is taken for the tripping of breakers and other electrical protective devices to mitigate the consequences of electrical faults due to fires.
k.
When it is shown that a fire involving a safety-related system will not propagate to its redundant counterpart, the availability of the second system is assumed.
l.
A fire is not considered to occur simultaneously with other 2.1-2a
B/B AMENDMENT 28 DECEMBER 2018 accidents, events, or phenomena such as a design-basis accident.
The capability exists to safely shut down the reactor in the event of any design-basis fire which may occur, as demonstrated in Section 2.4, "Safe Shutdown Analysis."
m.
To demonstrate safe shutdown capability, it is sufficient to show that at least two physically separate and electrically isolated duplicate system components are available to perform each required function such that if a fire prevents any component or system in the fire zone from functioning, the second will perform that function.
Safe shutdown capability following a fire in any fire zone of the plant is demonstrated in Section 2.4 Safe Shutdown Analysis.
2.1.2 Fire Hazards Analysis Methodology A systematic approach was established for the preparation of the Fire Hazards Analysis. Fire zones and areas were established based upon existing barriers.
The fire zones were then reviewed to identify fire hazards. Safety-related equipment and components which could be used for safe shutdown of the reactor were also identified. The combustible materials, the type of fire hazard, the quantity, the combustible loading which the material imposed on the area, and the fire detection and suppression capabilities for the area were then reviewed. The severity of the design-basis fire without any fire suppression activity was estimated based on the equivalent wood fire loading. Then the present fire barrier rating was compared with the fire severity for the subject zone to determine if the barrier was sufficient. Next the effects of the design-basis fire on the capability to safely shut down the reactor and the possible radioactive releases to the environment were evaluated. Finally, the distance required between two areas or pieces of equipment so that a fire could not propagate from one area to the other was checked.
Actual arrangement of the equipment and combustible materials in the area, location of doors, provisions of the ventilation system and the penetrations in the walls were considered. Existence of floor or equipment drains, curbs, and confining structures were considered to determine the effects of oil spills and fire fighting water.
2.1.3 Design Features and Criteria Features and criteria which are incorporated in the current station design which would assist in limiting the spread and adverse effect of a postulated fire are discussed below.
2.1.3.1 Station Layout The station general arrangement drawings, Figures 2.3-1 through 2.3-42, are plan and section views which indicate plant layout. It should be noted that the station layouts of Byron and Braidwood are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. The Fire Hazards Analysis was written based upon the Byron orientation. Thus, the descriptions of walls for the Braidwood Station are opposite those of the Byron Station. For example, the Fire Barrier Description might discuss features of the west wall. For Braidwood, the description would be the same but it would be for the east wall, etc.
2.1-3
B/B AMENDMENT 13 DECEMBER 1990 The station layout aids in the containment of fires by the utilization of area separation and segregation of combustibles. These figures do not necessarily give the exact locations of manual fire fighting equipment.
2.1.3.2 Fire Protection System Description 2.1.3.2.1 Design Basis Plant fire protection is provided by a loop fire header system, fire hose reels, and portable fire extinguishers. Selected areas are provided with fixed extinguishing systems which are designed in accordance with Nuclear Mutual Limited (NML) Property Loss Prevention Standards and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards. Fire hose stations, portable extinguishers and fixed automatic extinguishing systems are shown on the applicable figures in Section 2.3.
2.1.3.2.2 Coverage A looped 12-inch yard main (14-inch at Braidwood) encircles the entire plant with fire hydrants spaced at approximately 250 feet intervals. This yard main can be isolated into at least four segments. The Turbine Building has a 12-inch loop header following the exterior walls of the Turbine Building. The Turbine Building is supplied by a 12-inch header which is fed from the yard main on both the Unit 1 and Unit 2 sides and from the Auxiliary Building loop header. The Auxiliary Building is fed from the yard main and from the cross connection to the Turbine Building mentioned above. The Reactor Containments and the Fuel Handling Building are fed from the Auxiliary Building 12-inch header. The Circulating Water Pump House or Lake Screen House is fed directly from the fire pump discharge header. Hose reels are located throughout the plant. Each hose reel contains 50 feet or more of 1-1/2-inch hose with appropriate nozzles and is supplied from a riser coming from one of the main headers.
Zones where oil or other combustible materials are stored or handled are provided with a fixed fire protection system as follows:
a.
wet pipe sprinkler system 1.
entire Turbine Building basement, 2.
entire Turbine Building grade floor, 3.
portions of Turbine Building mezzanine floor, 4.
clean/dirty oil tanks room, 5.
auxiliary boiler rooms, 6.

portions of Byron River Screen House, 2.
diesel-generator and day tank rooms, 3.
upper and lower cable spreading areas, 4.
cable tunnels, and 5.
diesel auxiliary feedwater pump and day tank rooms.
2.1-5
B/B AMENDMENT 13 DECEMBER 1990 2.1.3.2.3 Operation The wet pipe sprinkler systems are actuated by individual fusible sprinkler heads which are set to fuse at a fixed temperature. Water flow detection devices are provided to give an alarm. The automatic deluge systems are actuated by fire detecting devices on a predetermined rise in temperature.
The entire area is deluged with water by the opening of the electrically operated deluge valve. Alarms and interlocks are provided to indicate operation of the system and to monitor the system for malfunctions. Local manual controls are also provided for each system.
The carbon dioxide systems are supplied from a 10-ton carbon dioxide storage tank. The automatic carbon dioxide fire suppression systems are actuated by fire detecting devices. Local pushbutton stations will also actuate the control valves.
The carbon dioxide system at the main station is supplied from a 10-ton capacity storage tank. The Byron River Screen House is supplied with a 2-ton storage unit. The 10-ton units are also used for generator purging. A description of this system is provided in Appendix 5.4.
The upper cable spreading area Halon systems are supplied from bottles located in the Turbine Building. The Halon supply is sized for the largest hazard.
The QA vault system is supplied from bottles located in the service building.
Halon 1301 is used in these systems.
The fire protection system takes its water from the forebay of the Byron Circulating Water Pump House or Braidwood Lake Screen House. Pressure is maintained in the system by two motor-driven jockey pumps of 100 gpm capacity each. If the jockey pumps are unable to maintain system pressure, the motor-driven main fire pump is actuated. If the motor-driven fire pump is unable to meet the demand, or is not functional, the diesel-driven fire pump will automatically start. Both of the main fire pumps are rated for 2,500 gpm at 388 TDH. The diesel-driven fire pump is battery started and does not rely on external electrical power for operation.
In the event both of the main fire pumps should be out of service, water could still be supplied via the Essential Service Water system tie-in located in the Auxiliary Building. The tie-in is Category I.
2.1.3.2.4 Fire Protection System Description The description of the Byron/Braidwood Stations Units 1 and 2 Fire Protection System is contained in Appendix 5.4.
2.1.4 Generic Notes The following items are generally applicable to most fire zones, as listed in Section 2.3. They are listed under the heading in which they were utilized for convenience and brevity. The figures listed at the beginning of each zone's description illustrate that zone. Table 2.2-2 lists figures and equipment. Electrical figures showing the routing of ESF cable trays in the auxiliary and containment buildings are included in the report.
2.1-6
B/B AMENDMENT 13 DECEMBER 1990 2.1.4.1 Fire Barrier Descriptions a.
Structural design elements are as outlined in Section 2.3 of this report. The material descriptions as follows apply to these structural elements:
1.
The concrete used in the construction of walls, floor slabs and roof slabs, and as a fire-resistant covering of embedded steel beams and columns, is of a mix which includes a proportion or carbonate-type aggregate. This aggregate is a factor in determining the fire resistance of these structural elements.
2.
Hollow concrete masonry units used in the construction of walls and as a fire resistant covering of columns or beams conform to the applicable requirements of ASTM C-90 for Type I Grade "N" moisture controlled units. Units are formed from a mix containing lightweight, expanded slag aggregate. This aggregate is a factor in determining the fire resistance of walls or the masonry covering of steel members.
3.
Solid concrete masonry units used in the construction of walls and as a fire resistant covering of columns or beams are 100%
solid and conform to the applicable requirements of ASTM C-145, Grade N, Type I moisture-controlled units. Units are formed from a mix containing normal weight aggregate, and have a density of 140 PCF.
This aggregate is a factor in determining the fire resistance of walls or a masonry covering of steel members.
4.
With the exception of several Service Building walls, masonry units are laid in a standard running-bond pattern with 3/8-inch thick horizontal and vertical joints of type "M" mortar. (This mortar conforms to ASTM C-270.) Heavy-duty steel truss-type continuous reinforcing ties are provided in the horizontal joints at 16 inches on centers vertically.
5.
Portions of masonry walls indicated as "removable areas" consist of solid concrete masonry units laid without mortar in a running bond pattern to completely fill the designated area of the permanent walls. These portions are braced on both faces of the wall by a system of steel columns, beams and steel grating panels, which also provides a resistance to seismic forces.
6.
Firestops have been provided to seal the tops of firewalls as described in Section 2.3. The Thermafiber Safing Insulation used as the firestop material is a mineral fiber semirigid felt and, as installed, provides a fire resistance of three hours.
This resistance is determined from results of fire tests of similar assemblies as conducted by the United States Gypsum Company.
2.1-7
B/B AMENDMENT 13 DECEMBER 1990 7.
All door openings in fire walls have been provided with self-closing fire doors as described in Section 2.3. The fire rating of the doors used is in all cases equivalent to the rating of the firewalls in which they are used. Many of these doors, including their frames and hardware, have been tested by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. of Chicago, Illinois. These doors are provided with a UL label, and are referred to in the text as Label "A" (or "B") doors. Other doors have not been tested by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. and thus do not have UL labels. These doors are referred to in the text as "fire doors of label construction."
These doors of label construction are constructed of the same materials and to the same standards as the UL labeled doors.
The hardware used with these doors is of the same high quality as that used with UL labeled doors. The installation of the door assembly in the firewall is identical to that of the UL labeled doors. Their fire resistance is thus equivalent to that of the doors with the UL label.
UL labels can only be applied to door assemblies (i.e., door plus frame and hardware) which have been previously tested by the Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc. At Byron/Braidwood, plant specific situations and requirements sometimes result in the installation of fire doors in a configuration which has not been tested by UL. Examples of such occurrences include:
a.
Doors Larger Than UL Listed Sizes with Single Point Latches/Locks Doors were manufactured at a height of 8 feet 6 inch at a time when UL had not approved doors greater than 8 feet 0 inch in height with single point latches. UL procedures have now been approved for doors up to 10 feet 0 inch in height.
b.
Doors with Modified Two-Point Latches and Electric Strikes The basic two-point latch and three-point lock system used on the project for double doors was a UL approved device.
Electric strikes were added to these devices for security purposes. It was therefore necessary to modify the two-point latch by off-setting its vertical rods to accommodate the strike which was installed in the inactive leaf. Although physically modified, the actual function of the two-point latch remained unchanged. The three-point lock remained intact without any physical or functional modification.
c.
Fixed Doors Which Function as Fire Panels The function of these doors is equipment removal and not personnel ingress or egress. Due to nearby system 2.1-8
B/B AMENDMENT 18 DECEMBER 1998 locations these doors cannot be opened on hinges but must be completely detached and removed. Servicing is infrequent and the doors are generally in a closed position secured to a four-sided frame by 1-1/2 pairs of UL listed butts on both jamb sides of the frame.
Therefore, other fire hardware such as latches and closers are not necessary for fixed fire panels.
d.
Door Frames with Applied Inverted Stops Some of the door frames installed in concrete openings are detailed with an applied door stop to conceal expansion anchor fasteners on the frame. This stop is inserted into a 14-gauge steel-formed rabbet in the frame and fastened with sheet metal screws at UL standard spacing. All frames are also filled with grout.
e.
Magnetic Position Switches Welded to Frames Magnetic electric position switches are welded to the security fire door assemblies. These switches are welded to the top of the door and frame near the door closers.
f.
Sheet Metal Electrical Raceways Welded to Doors Raceways are installed on double doors which have electric strikes. The raceway is welded to the face of the inactive leaf. This application is preferred to routing wiring through the inside of the door which would have required cutting of the door stiffeners.
g.
Holes in Frames for Electrical Conduit Penetrations A cutout is made of the top corner of security/fire door frames which allows power transfer from one side of the door to the other. These cutouts are closed by welding a metal closure plate of equivalent gauge thickness across the opening. A hole is drilled in this plate to facilitate the electrical conduit connection.
h.
Security Lock Guards As a security feature, Folger Adams 310-2-3 astragal lock guards are applied to security/fire door assemblies to prevent tampering with the lock bolt keeper. These lock guards are attached to the doors using 2-1/4 machine screws fasteners through the secure side of the door.
i.
Door Pulls Added to Facilitate Closing Door pulls have been added to some fire doors to facilitate closing the door against differential air pressure that may exist across the fire barrier. The door 2.1-9
B/B AMENDMENT 23 DECEMBER 2008 pull handles are installed with through-door threaded sleeves, located where they will not affect the capability of the door to close and latch or resist deflection due to the heat of a fire. Because this hardware may not be UL listed, doors so modified are considered "fire doors of label construction."
j.
Cardboard Shims for Door Alignment In accordance with fire door supplier recommendations, some labeled fire doors may have been aligned with the use of cardboard shims in the door hinge. The use of the shims ensures proper alignment of the door. The presence of the cardboard shim does not affect the capability of the door to close and latch or impact the fire endurance rating of the labeled door.
k.
Doors Designated to Resist Blast Intrusion Blast Resistant Doors are installed in the vestibules of some critical access locations such as the Containment Building Emergency Airlocks. The doors have a steel framework and are filled with concrete. The doors have a single operating handle that latches multiple locking bolts into the door frame.
Some locations where fire doors of label construction have been used are described in Section 2.3. However, fire doors of label construction that are configured as described above may not be specifically identified in Section 2.3 in all cases.
The location of these doors is no longer specified in Section 2.3 since they are considered to be equivalent to UL label doors.
The Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., do not "approve" the products of any manufacturer. The UL label on a product 2.1-9a
B/B AMENDMENT 19 DECEMBER 2000 only indicates that the product was tested by UL, and met certain performance standards. All of the fire doors installed at Byron/Braidwood are constructed of high quality fire resistant materials and are manufactured and installed to high standards which assure that they possess a fire rating equivalent to that specified for the barrier in which they are installed.
8.
Elevator shaft doors are 1-1/2-hour fire rated doors that have been approved by Underwriters' Laboratories or by the Factory Mutual System of Norwood, Massachusetts.
9.
Precast concrete channel roof slabs are of portland cement and lightweight aggregate and conform to the requirements of the American Concrete Institute Document 525-63. Slabs are of a "channel" design, 24 inches wide, having 3-1/2 inch thick reinforced concrete legs, and a 1-1/4 inch thick concrete web reinforced with steel welded wire fabric, and are anchored to supporting steel members with metal clips. Joints between slabs are sealed on the upper side with high-melting-point asphaltic cement.
10.
The roof covering for all roofs of the plant is a four-ply builtup pitch, felt, and gravel roofing system over preformed board insulation, except as noted below. This roof covering complies in all respects with the applicable requirements of the Underwriters' Laboratories Inc. (UL) listing for a "Class A" rating. As stated in the UL Building Materials Directory, (1975) this rating applies to roof coverings which are effective against severe fire exposures and under such exposures "are not readily flammable and do not carry or communicate fire; afford a fairly high degree of fire protection to the roof deck; do not slip from position; possess no flying brand hazard; and do not require frequent repairs in order to maintain their fire resistive properties."
11.
At Braidwood Station, the Turbine Building roof covering is an asphalt built-up roofing system and the Service/Radwaste Building roof covering is a single-ply membrane, fully adhered roofing system. These roofing systems comply in all respects with the applicable requirements of the UL listing for a Class A rating as indicated in the 1995 UL Roofing Materials and System Directory.
12.
At Byron Station, the turbine building, TSC, and EM shop building roof coverings are a block-ballasted, single-ply, roofing system over insulated boards. The roofing system complies in all respects with the applicable requirements of the UL listing for a Class A rating as indicated in the 1995 UL Roofing Material and System Directory.
2.1-10
B/B AMENDMENT 28 DECEMBER 2018 a.
HVAC penetrations in horizontal fire barriers consist of either two UL 1-1/2 hour fire dampers mounted in series or one 3-hour fire damper. These fire dampers are of the solid steel curtain type with interlocking blades and are of galvanized steel construction. The dampers shall close when the electrical thermal links receive an actuation signal or when the temperature exceeds the rating of the link.
b.
In the fire hazards analysis portions of this report, Section 2.3, the assumption is made that all fire dampers are 1-1/2 hour labeled unless otherwise noted.
c.
Locations of all rated fire barriers are shown symboli-cally on the drawings in Section 2.3. These drawings are not intended to show the detailed boundaries of rated fire barriers. They are as accurate as possible for drawings of this small scale. The text in Section 2.3 describes the fire barriers in more detail. Fire barrier location drawings, which are not included in the report, have been prepared and define explicitly the location and boundaries of all rated fire barriers in the plant.
13.
Within the major plant structures, fire areas and fire zones are designated using the assumptions of FPR Section 2.1.1 and the methodology described in FPR Section 2.1.2.
Walls/ceilings/floors defining these fire zones may be non-fire rated, based upon the Fire Hazard Analysis performed for the Fire Zone. Non-fire rated walls/ceilings/floors are typically comprised of fire rated construction (poured concrete and/or concrete block), but are considered non-fire rated due to unsealed openings in the barrier, such as equipment hatches, stairwells, and other penetrations. Selected limited areas of the non-fire rated barrier may be sealed with fire rated seals to separate and protect specific equipment from a postulated fire on the other side of the barrier and/or to prevent the propagation of fire through the barrier from a specific hazard to the adjacent fire zone. These fire rated seals in non-fire rated walls/ceilings/floor will be repaired as necessary (following maintenance on penetrating systems or seal damage) to maintain the Fire Hazard Analysis evaluations of the barrier.
14.
Firewall extension panels with a minimum 2-hour fire integrity rating have been added to the firewalls that separate the 1E and 1W main power transformers from each other, from the adjacent unit auxiliary transformers 141-1/2, and from system auxiliary transformer 142-1. The panels consist of modular sections of tube steel frames with fire resistant sheeting material (FBI Board) attached to its face. The fire resistant sheeting material is a composite board manufactured with a fiber-reinforced cementitious core and outer facings of perforated galvanized steel that are mechanically bonded to each surface of core material.
2.1-10a
B/B AMENDMENT 28 DECEMBER 2018 Firewall extension panels with a minimum 2-hour fire integrity rating have been added to the firewalls that separate the 2E and 2W main power transformers from each other, from the adjacent unit auxiliary transformers 241-1/2, and from system auxiliary transformer 242-1. The panels consist of modular sections of tube steel frames with fire resistant sheeting material (FBI Board) attached to its face. The fire resistant sheeting material is a composite board manufactured with a fiber-reinforced cementitious core and outer facings of perforated galvanized steel that are mechanically bonded to each surface of core material.
15.
Referencing EC #404746, the configuration of unprotected auxiliary/secondary steel attached to protected structural steel is an acceptable configuration as the associated structural steel will maintain its required 3-hour fire barrier rating.
2.1-10b
B/B AMENDMENT 13 DECEMBER 1990 Section 2.3 describes the fire barriers in more detail. Fire barrier location drawings, which are not included in the report, have been prepared and define explicitly the location and boundaries of all rated fire barriers in the plant.
2.1.4.2 Safety-Related Equipment For the purpose of this report, safety-related equipment is defined to be any and all equipment that is Safety Category I. All safety-related equipment is not necessary to shut down the reactor. All equipment and instrumentation identified as being required to safely shut down the plant are listed in Section 2.4, "Safe Shutdown Analysis." Details of this classification system are indicated in Appendix 5.3.
2.1.4.3 Protection Criteria and Measures a.
Physical separation of redundant divisions of cables is accomplished by use of cable raceway system as described in Appendix 5.2.
b.
Table 2.2-3 lists the fire protection system(s) available in each fire zone.
c.
Amendment 9 includes revision to the "Protection Criteria and Measures" section of all fire zones to delete reference to equipment provided with Appendix R emergency lighting (i.e., 8-hour battery packs). Appendix R emergency lighting is shown on lighting drawings for each plant. These drawings are the appropriate design document to reference.
2.1.4.4 Combustible Materials a.
Cables do not use PVC insulation or jacketing. The cables can be considered to be self-extinguishing and nonflame propagating. For electrical equipment within the NSSS scope of supply, Westinghouse specified noncombustible or fire retardant material and conducts vendor-supplied specification reviews of this equipment which includes assurance that materials will not be used which may ignite or explode from an electrical spark, flame, or from heating, or will independently support combustion. These reviews also include assurance of conservative current-carrying capacities of all instrument cabinet wiring, which precludes electrical fires resulting from excessive overcurrent (I2 R) losses. For example, wiring used for instrument cabinet construction has teflon or tefzel insulation and is adequately sized based on current-carrying capacities set forth by the National Electric Code. Braided sheathed material is noncombustible.
b.
Combustibles associated with the insulation inside each motor are negligible and are not considered.
c.
Combustibles associated with cable insulation of conductors that are in rigid conduit are negligible and are not considered.
2.1-11
B/B AMENDMENT 19 DECEMBER 2000 The only combustibles considered in any of the control panels, switchgear, and motor control centers is the cable insulation. Any other combustibles that may be present in these panels is considered negligible and, therefore, not counted.
d.
The combustion characteristics of both the cable insulation and jacketing materials are the same.
e.
Each cell of the non-safety-related batteries at both stations are enclosed with a plastic jar and cover. The plastic jar and cover for each cell weighs approximately 10-1/4 pounds. The Btu value of the plastic is considered to be 14,600 Btu/lb. Therefore, it is assumed that each cell of the battery will have a rating of 149,650 Btu.

h.
The insulation on piping was not considered in the heat load calculation because of its low "Btu" content, and the dispersed nature of this loading throughout the station.
i.
The lubricant contained in motor-operated valves was not considered because of the limited number of those valves which contained a significant amount of lubricant and their spatial separation within the plant.
j.
Combustible foam isolation materials are utilized in several circumstances within the plants to isolate expansion joints. The following typical situations where polyurethane foam is used have been identified and are described below:
2.1-14
B/B AMENDMENT 19 DECEMBER 2000 1.
Inside the containment at Elevation 377'-0" there is a 2-inch isolation joint between the fill slab and the containment steel liner plate. The exposed surface of this joint at Elevation 377'-0" is protected by a 3-hour fire rated joint system.
2.
There is a 2-inch joint between walls and slabs of the auxiliary building abutting with the exterior of the concrete containment. This joint is provided to allow movement of the structures during an earthquake. Where these joints are filled with polyurethane foam, they are typically protected with a 3-hour fire rated joint system.
3.
There are abutting walls and slabs on the outside of the containment for the buttress enclosures and the emergency air lock where the isolation joint is filled with polyurethane foam and sealant. For some of these cases, the polyurethane foam is not protected by a fire resistant joint material. However, these areas are external to the containment and auxiliary building and are not included in the fire zones in the fire protection report. There is no safe shutdown equipment in these areas. Thus, the presence of small amounts of combustible joint materials in these locations is not of concern.
4.
There are concrete partition walls in the auxiliary building which have a 1-inch isolation gap between the top of the wall and the underside of the ceiling slab, which may be filled with unprotected polyurethane foam and sealant. Where present, this material tends to be located in such a way as to present minimal exposure to roof contents.
In summary, combustible foam isolation materials are not included in the calculated combustible inventories for one or more of the following reasons: a) it is used in exterior structures, or b) it is protected with a fire-rated joint system, or c) it is present in small quantities, located in relatively unexposed positions, and is dispersed throughout the rooms or zones, rather than concentrated, and thus presents no significant hazard to the room contents.
k.
Each cell of the 125-Vdc safety-related batteries at Braidwood is encased in a polycarbonate jar weighing 12 pounds and a flame retardant PVC cover weighing 1.5 pounds. The Btu values for the jar and the cover are 13,310 Btu/lb and 8,800 Btu/lb, respectively. Therefore, each cell has a rating of 172,920 Btu.
2.1-15
B/B AMENDMENT 26 DECEMBER 2014
- l. Each cell of the safety-related 125-Vdc station batteries at Byron consists of a polycarbonate cell jar with a flame retardant PVC cover with a total heat content of 172,920 Btu/cell.
- m. Permanently installed low voltage power cords, which are not assigned cable numbers in the SLICE cable management database, (or equivalent database) are not described in the FPR Fire Hazards Analysis and are not considered as a contributor to fire loadings. These cords are not heavily concentrated throughout the plant and the fire loading attributed to these cords is insignificant.
- n. A blend of Number 1 and Number 2 diesel fuel oil may be stored or used in the diesel generator engines and diesel-driven pumps at Byron and Braidwood. According to NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids, and FPR Appendix 5.5, Glossary of terms, any liquid that has a flash point at or above 100ºF (37.8ºC) and below 140ºF (60ºC) is classified as an NFPA Class II Combustible Liquid. According to NFPA 325M, Fire Hazard Properties of Flammable Liquids, Gases, and Volatile Solids, flash point for Number 1 diesel fuel oil is 100ºF and the flash point for Number 2 diesel fuel oil is 125ºF. Thus, a blend of Number 1 and Number 2, regardless of its blended percentage/proportion, is classified as Class II Combustible Liquid.
In addition, heat content (Btu/gal) of Number 2 diesel fuel oil is higher than Number 1 diesel fuel oil. Thus, it is conservative to use straight Number 2 diesel fuel oil instead of blended fuel for combustible loading since Number 2 diesel fuel oil provides bounding values for Class II Combustible Liquid.
2.1.4.5 Fire Loading a.
Fire loading has been classified as low, moderate or high. Guidance from the NFPA Handbook was used in developing the low, moderate, and high categories. The three classifications are defined as:
i.
Low - Fire loading does not exceed an average of 100,000 Btu/ft2.
ii.
Moderate - Fire loading exceeds an average of 100,000 Btu/ft2, but does not exceed 200,000 Btu/ft2.
iii. High - Fire loading exceeds an average of 200,000 Btu/ft2.
b.
Fire loadings of less than 1000 Btu/ft2 are considered negligible.
2.1-15a
B/B AMENDMENT 16 DECEMBER 1994 2.1.4.6 Extinguishing and Detecting Capabilities a.
Hose station locations have been finalized and are shown as close as possible to their actual locations on the figures in Section 2.3.
Hose lengths and nozzle types are listed in Figure M-52, Sheets 11 and 12 located at the end of Appendix 5.4 in Volume II of this report.
b.
Portable fire extinguisher locations are indicated symbolically in the figures in Section 2.3. These drawings are not intended to show the actual number and location of extinguishers, but rather to indicate those areas in which fire extinguishers are available.
Information on actual numbers, type, and locations of portable extinguishers is maintained at the site. The type of portable extinguishers used depends on the hazards which they may be used upon.
c.
Fire detector locations are indicated symbolically in the figures in Section 2.3. These drawings are not intended to show the actual number and location of fire detectors, but rather to indicate those areas which are protected by automatic detection systems. Actual numbers and locations of fire detectors are shown on installation drawings which are not included in this report.
2.1.4.7 Design-Basis Fire A design-basis fire of less than 1000 Btu/ft2 is considered to be of minimal severity.
2.1-16
B/B AMENDMENT 24 DECEMBER 2010 2.2 AREA DESIGNATION The station is divided into fire areas as listed in Table 2.2-1. The area designation was based on Subsection IV.D, "Guideline for Specific Plant Areas" of Appendix A of BTP APCSB 9.5-1. The station is divided into the zones listed in Tables 2.2-2 and 2.2-3 and shown in Figures 2.2-1 through 2.2-30. The numbering system of Tables 2.2-2 and 2.2-3 is used throughout this report.
The digits before the decimal point of the zone designation corresponds to the numbers listed in Table 2.2-1 and are termed fire areas. In most cases, individual areas are further subdivided. In general, fire areas and zones are separated from each other by walls or barriers of noncombustible construction, or by distance. Numbering of fire zones within a fire area is generally sequential from the zone at the lowest elevation to the zone at the highest elevation; the numeral after the decimal point is this level/zone designation. When a particular elevation has numerous fire zones, these are usually identified by a letter after the second digit. For example, the Unit 1 Containment Spray Pump Room is located on level 11.2 and is identified as Fire Zone 11.2E-1. The numeral after the dash in the zone number indicates with which unit the zone is associated. For example, Fire Zone 1.1-1 is the zone at the lowest elevation in the Unit 1 Primary Containment. Some fire zones are associated with, or contain equipment from, both units. For example, Zone 2.1-0 is the Control Room, which serves both units.
Examples:
Fire Zones: 2.1 Control Room 11.3B Residual Heat Removal Heat Exchanger 2A Room Levels: 11.3 - Auxiliary Building zones, level 364 feet 0 inch Fire Areas: 2 - Control Room areas 11 - Auxiliary Building 2.2.1 Tabular Listing of Fire Zones Table 2.2-2 lists each fire zone. The zones are designated by name and number. The fire protection figure numbers for each zone are listed under the appropriate column in the table. The safety-related equipment in each zone is listed. The radioactive material in each zone is also listed.
2.2.2 Tabular Listing of Fire Hazards Data by Fire Zone Table 2.2-3 lists each fire zone by name and number. For each zone, the type of combustible materials estimated to be present is listed, as is the resultant fire loading classification for the zone. Also listed is the type of fire detection provided and the fire suppression systems/equipment available for each zone.

All fire zones are protected by manual extinguishing equipment. This includes manual hose stations (except Byron and Braidwood river screen house) and portable fire extinguishers. See the figures listed on Table 2.2-2 for each zone, for the planned location for each piece of equipment.
Note 2:
An automatic deluge system is provided for the turbine oil storage tanks (Fire Zones 8.3-1 and 8.3-2), the hydrogen seal oil units (Fire Zones 8.5-1 and 8.5-2), and the turbine oil bearings (Fire Zone 8.6-0). Fire detectors used for these hazards are Fenwal Rate Compensated detectors.

FIRE AREA/ZONE NUMBER AND NAME FIRE PROTECTION FIRE DETECTION COMBUSTIBLE FIRE LOAD DESIGN FIRE (Btu/ft2)
Note 3:
The ionization (or photoelectric) and Fenwal thermal detectors are cross zoned to require both an ionization (or photoelectric) and a heat detection of a fire to actuate the automatic fire suppression system. Each detection zone provides an independent alarm of a fire (or detector trouble) to the main control room. The circuits are designed that if either of the circuits has a break or a ground fault in one of the signalling line circuits, the remaining detection circuit could then automatically actuate the fire suppression system if a fire was present.
Note 4:
The fire zone does not contain safety-related components or radioactive materials. The fire hazards in the zone are adequately protected and separated from areas that do contain safety-related components or radioactive materials. Therefore, descriptions of the fire protection, fire detection, combustible materials, and fire load associated with the zone are not provided.

B/B AMENDMENT 23 DECEMBER 2008 2.3 FIRE AREA ANALYSIS 2.3.1 Containment Buildings Each primary containment has been divided into three zones for the fire area analysis. The following material applies to the entire exterior containment structure.
Each primary Containment Building is a closed concrete cylinder with structural reinforced base slab, walls, and domed roof slab. These elements vary in thickness from 42 inches for the roof to 144 inches for the base slab. The roof slab and walls have been post-tensioned by means of steel tendons. The inside face of the entire building is lined with a 1/4-inch-thick steel plate liner.
Access to the Containment Building is through a 124-inch-diameter steel "personnel" air lock (which leads to a weathertight, 3-hour fire rated enclosure of 36-inch-thick structural reinforced concrete walls, roof, and floor on the exterior of the building at elevation 401 feet-0 inch). There is a blast resistant vestibule, which is constructed of a steel shell filled with concrete, connected to the Emergency Airlock exit. The vestibule has a minimum thickness of 10.5 inches and contains a non-listed blast resistant door that provides a level of fire protection equivalent to a UL Label A fire door. The vestibule assembly provides a 3-hour fire resistance. Normal access is through a 225-inch-diameter steel "equipment" air lock (which leads to the Fuel Handling Building at elevation 426 feet 0 inch). Both air locks are provided with airtight, removable covers of steel plate.
2.3.1.1 Unit 1 Containment Missile Shield Area (Fire Zone 1.1-1)
This zone is shown on Figures 2.3-10 (Sheet 1), 2.3-12 (Sheet 1), 2.3-13 (Sheet 1), and 2.3-15. It is shown in elevation on Figure 2.3-26 (Sheet 1).
Electrical cable trays routed through this zone are shown on Figures 2.3-36 (Sheet 1), 2.3-37 (Sheet 1), and 2.3-38 (Sheet 1).
Fire Barrier Description A structural reinforced concrete cylinder with an inside diameter of 21 feet 0 inch and walls 108 inches thick surrounds the reactor cavity from elevation 348 feet 0 inch up to elevation 377 feet 0 inch. The structural reinforced concrete slab below this cylinder, which is the base slab of the Containment Building, is 39 feet 0 inch in diameter, and 108 inches thick. Access to the steam generator area at elevation 377 feet 0 inch from the reactor cavity is through a tunnel. The tunnel walls are structural reinforced concrete 36 inches thick. Both the tunnel and reactor cavity are provided with a 1/4-inch-thick steel liner plate. This tunnel is open to the steam generator area.
Over the structural concrete described above are placed 24-inch-thick (reactor cavity walls), 30-inch-thick (reactor cavity and tunnel floor), and 24-inch-thick (tunnel walls) structural reinforced concrete topping.
From elevation 377 feet 0 inch to elevation 389 feet 6 inches, a structural reinforced concrete cylinder with an inside diameter of 17 feet 1 inch and walls 101 inches thick surrounds the reactor cavity.
