Help to protect the safety of the public, the environment, and plant personnel from a plant fire by referencing NFPA 805, Performance-Based Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2020 edition.
It is critical to cultivate superior fire protection practices and strategies for light water nuclear power plants. NFPA 805 outlines the procedures for implementing performance-based provisions to assist in improving nuclear safety, reducing radioactive release, and minimizing plant damage and interruption of business.
The standard applies to all phases of existing plant operation from fundamental fire protection program design and elements to the determination of fire protection systems and features. Requirements also cover fire protection during degraded conditions and decommissioning and permanent shutdown of light water reactor electric generating plants.
Make sure you are referencing the most current requirements for nuclear electric generating plant fire protection by upgrading to the 2020 edition.
NFPA 805 is referenced across the US and worldwide by personnel and organizations concerned with safeguarding against the impacts of a nuclear plant fire. The standard is updated to account for the latest industry knowledge and terminology.
Notable changes to the 2020 edition include;
- Inclusion of language from NFPA 101®, Life Safety Code®, to more clearly identify materials that should be considered limited-combustible
- Addition of annex language to expand on issues that exist in the selection of suppression systems that can lead to thermal shock
NFPA 805 can help you prepare for the challenges of protecting light water nuclear power plants from fire and its potential effects on operations.
