Title

Failure to perform hourly fire watches

Description

10 CFR 50.48(a)(1) requires that each holder of an operating license must have a fire protection plan that: (i) describes the overall fire protection program for the facility; (ii) identifies the various positions within the licensee's organization that are responsible for the program; (iii) states the authorities that are delegated to each of these positions to implement those responsibilities; and (iv) outlines the plans for fire protection, fire detection and suppression capability, and limitation of fire damage. Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) Technical Specification 5.4.1.d requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering Fire Protection Program implementation. ' PNPS implementing procedure 8.8.14, "Fire Protection Technical Requirements," Section 7.5, "Completing Attachment 1 (Hourly Fire Watch)," requires, in part, that fire watch personnel examine the area involved in the posting for evidence of fire or conditions that may lead to a fire. This section further requires that the posting should be visited once every hour such that no fewer than 24 patrols are completed in a 24-hour period at approximately 60-minute intervals. Contrary to the above, on occasions between June 1, 2012, and June 26, 2014, the licensee did not implement a provision of a written procedure covering implementation of the fire protection program as it pertains to fire detection. Specifically, although hourly fire watches were established, fire watch personnel did not examine the areas involved in the hourly fire watch postings for evidence of fire or conditions that may lead to a fire. As a result, for the involved areas, fewer than 24 patrols were completed in 24-hour periods.
