 Although there are no requirements to quantify seismic fire risk in Part 4 (Fire) of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard, Part 5 of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard (Seismic) does require that seismically induced initiating events caused by secondary hazards (including seismic induced internal fires) are identified, that fragilities are estimated for credible seismic induced fire sources, and that seismic induced fire scenarios are included in the seismic PRA model as necessary. [https://www.epri.com/#/pages/product/000000003002012980/?lang=en-US EPRI 3002012980] provides a methodology to treat seismically induced internal fires (and internal floods) in a seismic PRA.

+* Degradation of manual firefighting effectiveness
 It is recommended that a Fire PRA include a qualitative assessment of these issues. In this procedure, a recommended approach is given.
 This procedure does not provide a methodology for developing models and quantifying risk associated with fires caused by a severe seismic event. This is due to a combination of limitations in the state of the art, and the perceived low level of risk from these fires. The low risk is based on the low frequency of an earthquake that can initiate a challenging fire and degrade various plant fire protection defense-in-depth elements, and the general seismic ruggedness of the NPPs as part of their design basis. This procedure outlines a series of steps intended to verify this premise. If the verification steps outlined in this procedure do not preclude the risk significance, either a quantitative assessment or consideration of physical or procedural changes may follow.
