Does a risk-informed, performance-based fire protection program provide an acceptable level of protection of public health and safety compared to deterministic requirements?
Absolutely. What we have now is safe but the risk-informed method will take safety to a higher level. In a risk-informed approach, risk insights are considered with other factors to establish requirements that better focus licensee and regulatory attention on design and operational issues according to their importance to public health and safety. In a deterministic approach, fire protection requirements are based on accepted national standards and established prescriptive regulatory requirements.
