The purpose of this analysis was to determine generic and plant-specific firewater inadvertent actuation frequencies for wetpipe and preaction firewater systems at the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). Firewater systems of both kinds are installed throughout the ATR facility. When installed for the protection of reactor equipment, firewater systems may also adversely affect the equipment they are meant to protect. This occurs when inadvertent actuation of a firewater system causes wetting and subsequent damage to equipment.
