PURPOSE Provide an Overview of the Executive Summary Describe the Process for the Control of Transient Combustibles and Ignition Sources Specifically address Controls in Areas with Performance

-Based Fire Modeling

Objective Goal is to maintain a program consistent with NFPA 805 requirements and its supporting documentation and calculations NFPA 805 Section 3.3.1.2, Control of Combustible Materials NFPA 805 Section 3.3.1.3, Control of Ignition Sources VCSNS Transient Controls Controls to be based on risk by assigning combustible control levels based on the Fire PRA and performance based insights.

Developing an Engineering calculation to define fire zone PRA CDF sensitivity to transients.

Controls levels defined by consensus between Fire Protection and PRA engineers.

Industry is developing a white paper on the general transient combustible/ignition source process.

Assignment of Control Levels Level of controls will range from Low (Level 4) to High (Level 1)

Level 4: Fire Zones with low risk contribution. Fire PRA assumes full compartment burn and zones are not sensitive to higher transient influence factors

- Assigned as Level II

Risk Insights from the Fire PRA Probability of Failing to Follow Controls

-Fire PRA analyzed two (2) of the Risk Significant Zones assuming a probability of failing to follow combustible controls

-Risk Significant Zones with Low Transient Influence Factors

-Assigned as Level I

Risk Insights from the Fire PRA Fire Scenarios with Structural Steel

-Structural Steel Bounding Analysis: Potential fire scenarios involving structural collapse due to thermal damage -3 Fire Zones meet criteria: Unprotected steel / high in

Fire Protection Equivalency Evaluations (FPEEE) - "Adequate for the Hazard"

VCS Performance Based Fire Modeling NFPA 805 4.2.4.1 permits the use of fire modeling for addressing variances from deterministic requirements (VFDR's)

Applied to Four (4) Fire Areas which have cable tray targets close to the floor Fire model specifies administrative controls to be designed and implemented so that fire damage to the targets within the fire zone is prevented.
