    U.S. EPR FINAL SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT 9.5 Other Auxiliary Systems 9.5.1 Fire Protection System The purpose of the fire protection system (FPS) is to protect other plant systems and equipment which provide the capability to safely shut down the reactor, maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, control radioactive releases to the environment, and to prevent personnel injury and property damage in the event of a fire. The FPS consists of design features, personnel, equipment, and procedures to provide defense-in-depth protection of public health and safety. The program is implemented during station operations by the prevention, detection, annunciation, confinement, and extinguishment of fire. Administrative controls, training, inspection, testing, and quality assurance (QA) provide reasonable assurance of the operability of the program. The FPS, including administrative controls and the fire brigade, are implemented prior to receiving fuel on site for fuel storage areas and for the entire station prior to reactor startup. 9.5.1.1 Design Basis The FPS is designed in accordance with: ● 10 CFR 50.48 - Fire Protection. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 3 - Fire Protection. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 5 - Sharing of Structures, Systems, and Components. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 19 - Control Room. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 23 - Protection System Failure Modes. ● 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 56 - Primary Containment Isolation. ● NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan 9.5.1 - Fire Protection Program (Reference 37). ● RG 1.29 - Seismic Design Classification, Revision 4. ● RG 1.189 - Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 1.

  • Use of Gaseous Suppression Systems in High Air Flow Environments – Phase 1 FINAL REPORT
    Use of Gaseous Suppression Systems in High Air Flow Environments – Phase 1 FINAL REPORT PREPARED BY: Eric Forssell Jensen Hughes Baltimore, MD, USA © September 2015 Fire Protection Research Foundation FIRE PROTECTION RESEARCH FOUNDATION ONE BATTERMARCH PARK | QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS, USA 02169-7471 E-MAIL: [email protected] | WEB: WWW.NFPA.ORG/FOUNDATION — — Page ii — — FOREWORD Information-technology and telecommunications (IT/telecom) facilities provide critical services in today’s world. From a risk standpoint, the indirect impact of fire loss due to business interruption and loss of critical operations, sometimes geographically very distant from the IT/telecom facility itself, can far outweigh the direct property loss. In the past few years, there have been dramatic changes in the equipment housed in these facilities, which have placed increased demands on HVAC systems. As a result, engineered-airflow containment solutions are being introduced to enhance heat extraction and increase energy efficiency. From the perspective of fire-suppression system design, the use of airflow containment systems creates areas of high-air velocities within an increasingly obstructed equipment space, which could affect the effectiveness of transport of suppression agents throughout the protected volume. Requirements related to use of gaseous-agent fire extinguishing systems in IT/telecom facilities are directly addressed by NFPA 75, Standard for the Fire Protection of Information Technology Equipment, and NFPA 76, Standard for the Fire Protection of Telecommunications Facilities. NFPA 75, 2013 edition, addresses these issues related to gaseous agent systems in several places. 5.6.7 Where aisle containment systems are installed, the existing suppression and detection systems shall be evaluated, modified, and tested as necessary to maintain compliance with the applicable codes and standards.

The Transpolar Sea Route (TSR) would represent a third Arctic shipping route in addition to the Northern Sea Route and Northwest Passage.

  • Assessment of Present and Planned Polar Research and Supply Vessels
    Assessment of Present and Planned Polar Research and Supply Vessels Candidate name: Felix Müller University of South-Eastern Norway Faculty of Technology, Natural Sciences and Maritime Sciences MASTER THESIS May 2018 Polar Research and Supply Vessels: Abstract 2 Abstract Polar research vessels are currently being planned or build by many nations engaged in polar science. This includes for example the British newbuilding RRS Sir David Attenborough and Australia’s RSV Nuyina. The study explores the field of Polar Research and Supply Vessels (PRSV) and investigates the possibilities of assessing their capabilities. An exploratory research approach is used to identifies sources of information and collects them into a database. Established models for performance assessment in the academic literature are presented. Links are drawn between those models, PSRV characteristics and the research field. An adapted model is created and applied on the data collected, providing the ability to assess capabilities of PRSV. The assessment is based on the four aspects size, icebreaking, logistic and science, each using several attributes from the database to provide a normalised score between 0 and 100. Data of five PRSV are used on this model and visualised in a radar diagram. Results show general applicability of the model and further development and refinement can result in a useful contribution for this focussed research field. Keywords: Exploratory Study, Polar Research and Supply Vessels, Capability Assessment, Icebreaking, Science, Logistic Polar Research and Supply Vessels: Acknowledgements 3 Acknowledgements Thank you Halvor Schøyen for being my supervisor during this thesis. Your encouraging and positive attitude towards my field of interests, even before this thesis started, is much appreciated.
