| Title | Inadequate Fire Barrier |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and an associated NCV of License Section 2.C(3), Fire Protection Program for failing to maintain in effect all provisions of the Fire Protection Program. Specifically, the fire protection plan requires 3-hour fire barriers, unless there is adequate justification that a fire barrier, which is less than 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> is acceptable. The licensee credited a 2-hour fire barrier in lieu of a 3-hour barrier based on less than two hours of combustible material in the cable spreading room. In 2006, the licensee determined the cable spreading room contained in excess of two hours worth of combustible material. As an immediate action, the licensee implemented compensatory actions and performed fire tours in the area. The issue is more than minor because it affects the Protection Against External Events attribute of the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone in that it affects the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events. Specifically, the licensee had an invalid basis for the adequacy of a firewall protecting safety-related equipment. The finding screened as Green because the fire barrier retained at least a two hour rating and the seismic issues did not impact both trains. The finding does not include an associated cross-cutting aspect due to the issue dating back greater than three years and not reflective of current performance. |
