Finishing construction materials applied to nuclear power plants and other attached structures are manufactured domestically; however, their fire-related performance has not yet been clarified, and data exist only for common materials with general purposes. Finishing construction materials must meet the requirement of Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which is regarded as a global standard in the nuclear power plant industry. In this study, to support data when a new guideline for evaluation of fire safety in nuclear power plant and the attached structures thereof are prepared, the finishing materials on the floor and the coating applied onto the floor and other portions were selected and tested using related standards of two nations. The results showed that there were differences in the manner of evaluation and testing. Moreover, certain criteria did not meet Korean standards. Nevertheless, most criteria were satisfied with testing methods suggested by the NRC.
