This has to be reached during equipment, run- and maintenanceperiods by:
1. Technical measures
1.1 Definition of fire- and smoke-separations
1.2 Smoke extraction
1.3 General safety installation
1.4
Installations (cables, transformers, electronics) that are as fireproof as possible
AND
2. Organizational measures
3. Personal measures

Separate consideration of standard buildings and tunnels and shafts
Standard buildings similar to building regulations of Hamburg and
Schleswig-Holstein
Technical buildings similar to Industrial Building Regulation

Our problem:
There are no standards for our XFEL-underground buildings.
Our task:
Definition of our own rules for PAP for these buildings
Lets focus on buildings:
Experimental hall, tunnels and shafts:
special scientific underground buildings
no standards for scientific underground buildings
we proceed similar to traffic tunnels and stations

If we compare traffic tunnels and stations with the XFEL, we have
• underground buildings
• a great number of people (up to several thousand)
• difficult and long escape routes
At XFEL only the number of employees in possible hazardous areas is smaller and we only have instructed and trained people.
The basic rules for traffic tunnels and stations can be adapted to shafts and tunnels.
(Length of tunnels, evacuation speed, safety measures)

LINAC Tunnel (XTL):
A computer fire simulation was made at STUVA and showed that the decision with max. 700 m separation and 8 minutes self rescue time is acceptable.
After the end of the self rescue time the smoke reaches the separations and sinks down.
