Fire-safe Shutdown Analysis for Nuclear Reactors

Fire-safe shutdown assessments are completed for nuclear power plants to ensure nuclear safety objectives are achieved.  These include the prevention or mitigation of accident consequences which could result in the exposure of workers, the public and the environment to radiation hazards.
