Table 4.10 shows adjustment factors that can reduce the calculated flammable consequence area based on different mitigation systems. An inventory blowdown system coupled with an isolation system rated class B or higher receives a 0.25 reduction. A fire water deluge system with monitors receives a 0.2 reduction, monitors only a 0.05 reduction, and a foam spray system a 0.15 reduction. No applicable mitigation system receives no reduction. Note 1 defines isolation system classification levels based on operator activation versus direct instrumentation activation.
