l 9.5.1.6 Summary The staff finds that the fire protection design for the ABWR will be accept-able upon approval of ITAAC.
Most of the fire protection features described in SSAR Section 9.5.1 and SSAR Appendix 9A (Fire Hazards Analysis) of the ABWR application conform to the applicable sections of APCSB BTP 9.5-1.
- However, three exceptions to such conformance exist in (1) the main steam tunnel, (2) the main control room, and (3) inside containment.
In each of these three j
instances, the exceptions were fully justified by GE as previously discussed and found acceptable by the staff.
i Finally, as discussed in Section 9.5.1.5 of this report the administrative controls will be the responsibility of the COL applicant.
I 9.5.2 Communications Systems This topic is discussed in Section 7.7.15 of this report.
