Fire Protection System

DOE-HDBK-1188-2006

have completed not less than 6 years engineering practice, 3 of which shall have been in

responsible charge of diverse fire protection engineering projects; be a registered professional

engineer in fire protection; or meet the requirements for a grade 11 or higher Fire Protection

Engineer as defined by the Office of Personnel Management. [DOE-STD-1066-99]

247.

FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM. Any system designed to detect and contain or extinguish a

fire, as well as limit the extent of fire damage and enhance life safety. [DOE-STD-1066-99]

248.

FIRE RESISTANCE RATING. The time that a particular construction will withstand a

standard fire exposure in hours as determined by American Society of Testing and Materials

standard ASTM E-119. [DOE-STD-1066-99]

249.

FISSIONABLE MATERIALS. A nuclide capable of sustaining a neutron-induced chain

reaction (e.g., uranium-233, uranium-235, plutonium-238, plutonium-239, plutonium-241,

neptunium-237, americium-241, and curium-244). [10 CFR 830.3]

250.

FISSIONABLE MATERIALS HANDLER. A person certified by contractor facility

management to manipulate or handle significant quantities of fissionable materials, or manipulate

the controls of equipment used to produce, process, transfer, store, or package significant

quantities of such materials. [DOE O 5480.20A] [EH62dd1]

251.

FLAME RESISTANT (FR): The property of a material whereby combustion is prevented,

terminated, or inhibited following the application of a flaming or non-flaming source of ignition,

with or without subsequent removal of the ignition source. [NFPA 70E]

252.

FLAME SPREAD RATING. Flame spread rating is a numerical classification determined by

the test method in American Society of Testing and Materials standard ASTM E-84, which

indexes the relative burning behavior of a material by quantifying the spread of flame of a test

specimen. The surface burning characteristic of a material is not a measure of resistance to fire

exposure. [DOE-STD-1066-99]

FLAMMABLE LIQUID. A liquid having a closed cup flash point below 100oF (38oC) and

253.

having a vapor pressure not exceeding 40 psia (2068 mm Hg) at 100oF (38oC). [DOE-STD-

1066-99]

254.

FLASH HAZARD. A dangerous condition associated with the release of energy caused by an

electric arc. [NFPA 70E]
