Internal fire risk has been one of the major concerns for nuclear power plants. To reduce the risk from internal fire, installing the suppression system, establishment of fire protection program, changing to qualified cables, and sealing the opening can be considered. The approaches to fire protection design are different for each plant design, and they are highly dependent on the plant type. The fire PSA revealed that the potential plant risk due to a fire event is highly dependent on the design. The approaches to fire protection design are different for each plant type, especially between Wolsong Unit 1 (Candu) and Korea Standard Nuclear Plants (KSNP). In this paper, plant design and fire PSA of Wolsong Unit 1 (Candu) were compared with those of the KSNP (PWR) to identify plant-specific and risk-significant items. (authors)
