Fire Protection Design + Safe Shutdown
Our experts routinely work on national code development, system design, code compliance evaluations, procedure creation, audit support, and modification reviews. We have led multiple industry initiatives in fire protection and have sitting members on multiple NFPA code committees, and our staff includes experts in fire modeling, plant operations, and nuclear licensing.
Experts In Fire Modeling + Plant Operations
With our depth of experience in the development and application of Fire Protection Programs in the nuclear power industry, we bring level of understanding of both traditional and risk-informed fire protection programs. We are well suited to provide the full scope of fire protection services to the nuclear industry including, Fire Safe Shutdown Analysis, Risk-Informed Performance-Based Fire Protection Programs (e.g., NFPA 805 Analysis), Circuit Analysis, Multiple Spurious Operations (MSO), and Associated Circuits Analysis.
Fire Protection Systems and Procedures
Our firm conducts independent surveys of facilities to assess the level of hazards, evaluate the adequacy of fire protection systems and procedures, and provide prioritized recommendations for remediation and risk reduction. The following systems can be specified, designed, reviewed or audited:
- Fire Protection Analysis
- Fire Protection Design services
- Fire Protection Program Support
- Fire Fighting Training Facilities
- Fire Testing Services
Fire Probabilistic Safety Assessment (PSA)
Our Fire Probabilistic Safety Assessment (Fire PSA) services provide a systematic approach to evaluating fire-related risks in nuclear facilities. We analyze the potential impact of fire events on plant safety by combining detailed fire modeling with probabilistic methods to quantify risk. Key Services Include:
- Fire Hazard Identification
- Fire Modeling and Simulation
- Component and System Vulnerability Assessment
- Risk Quantification
- Regulatory Support
