Evaluation of Fire Hazard Analyses for Nuclear Power Plants: A Safety Practice

This publication provides a detailed list of the issues, and some of the limitations, to be considered when evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of the fire hazard analysis of a nuclear power plant. It is intended for assessors of fire hazard analyses. It further gives a broad description of the methodology to be used by operators in preparing a fire hazard analysis for their own plant. It supplements the broad concepts of Safety Series No. 50-SG-D2 (Rev. 1), Fire Protection in Nuclear Power Plants, and should be used in conjunction with that guide.
