The control room operators get two minutes to don SCBAs after the predump timer started alarm comes in. The design is for (roughly) two minutes to don SCBAs, then two minutes to secure the unit before evacuating the control room to the remote shutdown panels. Most operating crews can do that

Halon is a chlorocarbon or fluorocarbon or bromocarbon gas, one of the Freon family. It’s heavy, so it displaces oxygen, but the main effect is to suppress ionization which prevents combustion. Same reason we make a high bromine Lexan where I work, it’s fire resistant. The danger with Halon
