Basis The overall fire protection program at Point Beach Nuclear Plant utilizes the principles of defense in depth. This includes early warning fire detection and redundant fire suppression capability.
Collectively, these measures ensure equipment operability, provide adequate capability to prevent and minimize damage to safety-related equipment, and allow safe plant shutdown in the event of a fire occurrence.
Should a portion or component of the fire protection system be inoperable, these specifications provide assurance-j that redundant methods of fire protection are readily available and that the capability to mitigate the consequences of a fire is maintained.
