Items of Interest Week Ending March 16, 2018 Differing Professional Opinion Concerning Retirement of Frequently Asked Question on Incipient Fire Detection Systems On February 8, 2018, the Acting Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR), issued a decision on a Differing Professional Opinion (DPO) submitted on November 29, 2016, regarding the retirement of National Fire Protection Association 805 Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) 08-0046, Incipient Fire Detection System. Specifically, the DPO raised concerns that the FAQ and the NUREG-2180 methodology, specifically the event tree approach in Chapter 6 to estimate non-suppression probability and the human reliability analysis developed in Chapter 10 in support of the Chapter 6 event trees, should not be used as a modeling approach for enhanced suppression (with an additional unquantified option for pre-emption) provided by Very Early Warning Fire Detection System. On November 13, 2017, an Ad Hoc Panel (Panel) provided the results of its independent review of the DPO to the Acting Director of NRR. NRRs Acting Director agreed with the Panels conclusions and provided additional recommendations.
The DPO case file can be found at Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18065A931.
