This document discusses fire protection standards and codes for power stations. It begins by listing common fire hazards at power stations. It then discusses planning for risk scenarios, looking to the latest technology from research centers, and implementing the right fire protection systems. One case study discussed is an explosion at a power plant under construction in Connecticut, USA, which resulted in deaths and injuries. This disaster led to adjustments in fire protection standards. The document contrasts codes, which can be adopted into law, from standards, which are recommendations, and discusses how standards can evolve into regulations. It stresses the importance of testing fire protection systems according to standards and servicing them according to best practices.
