9.5 OTHER AUXILIARY SYSTEMS 9.5.1 Fire Protection System
- TN s e R 7 " X)< "
9.5.1.1 Design Bases The plant fire protection system is a non-safety-related system designed to detect and alarm, control and extinguish fires that may occur. To accomplish this end, the concept of defense in depth is a criterion for design. This concept, applied to fire protection, aims at a balanced program which will:
a.
Prevent fires from starting, b.
Detect fires quickly, and quickly suppress those that occur, thus limiting their damage.
Design and locate plant equipment such that if a fire occurs c.
and burns for a long time, despite a. and b.,
that essential plant activities will still be performed.
d.
Ensure that neither inadvertent operation nor failure of a system will induce a failure of any safety-related system.
~
The guidance provided by APCSB BTP 9.5-1 and its Appendix A and 10 CFR 50
(
Appendix R is utilized in meeting the design basis.
63 The fire protection systems have been designed using the general guidelines of the following codes and standards:
a.
American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) - Specifications for Fire Pr'otectici of New Plants, b.
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and ANS Codes as listed in Table S.5-1.
c.
Uniform Building Code (UBC).
l5 Equipment in the fire protection systems, except for the fire tank heating systems and the hydrant isolation valves, conforms to the standards of the National Fire Protection Association, and its Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) listed and/or Factory Mutual approved, exceptions are required for specific conditions such as seismic requirements, etc.

The information presented hereinaf ter in Section 9.5.1 provides a general discussion of the various fire protection systems at Seabrook Station.
In addition specific reports and information have been provided to address dif ferent facets of the fire protection program in greater de-tail. These documents are:
o Fire Protection Evaluation and Comparison to BTP APCSB 9.5-1, Appendix A Report o Safe Shutdown Capability Report (10CFR50, Appendix R)
Supplementary Information identified in PSNH Letter (SBN-1102),
o dated June 11, 1986 The Fire Protection Evaluation and Comparison to BTP APCSB 9.5-1, Appendix A Report contains the BTP APCSB 9.5-1 comparison to Seabrook Station as well as Seabrook Station's Fire Hazards Analysis. The safe shutdown capability report provides the analysis of Seabrook Station to the requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix R.
The supplementary information identifies that correspondence sent to the NRC which has not been incorp-orated in the above referenced reports and which provides further details regarding the Seabrook Station Fire Protection Program.
These three sources of information are hereby incorporated by reference into the FSAR.
In addition to the above, limiting conditions for operation, action statements and surveillance requirements for the Fire Protection program will be established within Seabrook Station plant operating procedures.
This will provide an equivalent level of protection as described in the following sections of the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications:
Section 3/4.3 - Instrumentation Specification 3.3.3.7 - Fire Detection Instrumentation (limiting conditions of operation, surveillance requirements)
Section 3/4.7 - Plant Systems Specification 3.7.8.1 - Fire Suppression Water System (limiting conditions of operation, surveillance requirements)
Specification 3.7.8.2 - Spray and/or Sprinkler System (limiting conditions of operation, surveillance requirements)
Specification 3.7.8.3 - Fire Hose Station (limiting conditions of operation, surveillance requirements)
Specification 3.7.8.4 - Yard Fire Hydrant and Hydrant Hose Houses (limiting conditions of operation, surveillance requirements)
Specification 3.7.9 - Fire Rated Assemblies (limiting conditions of operation, surveillance requirements)
