| Title | Licensee-Identified Violation |
| Description | 10 CFR 50.48 states that each operating nuclear power plant must have a fire protection plan that satisfies Criterion 3 of Appendix A of this part. Turkey Point Renewed Operating License condition D, for Units 3 and 4, states that the licensee shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved FPP as described in the UFSAR Appendix 9.6A. The approved FPP is implemented, in part, by 0-ADM-016, Fire Protection Program, as referenced in Section 7.2 of UFSAR Appendix 9.6A. Section 5.6 of 0-ADM-016 requires that, for non-functional post-fire safe shutdown components, engineering evaluations should identify appropriate compensatory actions, including hourly fire roves. Contrary to the above, between May 1st, 2014, and April 23rd, 2015, hourly fire watch patrols were not conducted on numerous occasions in fire zones that required regular hourly tours due to fire protection equipment impairment. The failure to perform the fire watch tours did not cause the inoperability of any equipment but resulted in the loss of a defense-in-depth feature for fire detection in fire zones affected by an impaired or non-functional fire safety component or feature. This violation was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone and affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability and capability of the systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The inspectors determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) after performing a detailed risk evaluation in accordance with Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix A, because the missed fire watch tours reflected a low degradation of the Fire Prevention and Administrative Controls FPP element in that other area fire protection defense-in-depth features such as automatic fire detection (smoke detectors), automatic fire suppression capability (sprinklers), manual suppression capability (fire brigade), and safe shutdown capability from the main control room were still available. The licensee entered this violation into their CAP as AR 02056905. |
