 Information Notice No. 83-41: Actuation of Fire Suppression System Causing Inoperability of Safety-Related Equipment
This event appears to involve two deficiencies: The hazards analysis had not recognized the potential system interaction between the fire suppression system and the emergency safety feature actuation system; and the plant procedure for trouble-shooting was either inadequate or inadequately implemented (or both).
The system was piped (solid) to the fire suppression water main, without adequate precautions to prevent accidental unwanted water injection to the tank.
System actuation occurred in several plant areas, which resulted in the trip of one RPS motor generator set and a small amount of water entering the control rod drive switchgear cabinet.

 Fire Suppression
HFCs are the fire suppression technology of choice due to their fire fighting efficiency, extinguishing speed, people safety, limited space requirements and minimal environmental impact.
Fire extinguishing gases are normally retained in their original containers for their entire lifetimes, especially in the largest use area of total flooding systems.
Fire suppression speed is also an HFC agent benefit, extinguishing fires in incipient stages before the fire itself produces grave environmental impact.

 How FM-200 waterless fire protection works: FM-200 fire suppressant   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The primary objective of an FM-200 system is to detect and extinguish a fire in its incipient stage long before smoke generation causes damage.
With some fire protection systems such as water, foam, or dry chemicals, the extinguishant can be as damaging as the fire.
Actively extinguishing the fire at the surface of the flame is the most effective form of fire suppression and requires the least amount of suppressant.
