| Title | Failure to Take Adequate Corrective Action for a Condition Adverse to Fire Protection |
| Description | The team identified a Green non-cited violation of License Condition 2.C.(4), Fire Protection, for the failure to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program. Specifically, the team identified that the licensee failed to implement adequate corrective actions for a condition adverse to fire protection related to circuits that could disable the automatic starting of the electric driven fire pump due to fire damage. The licensee entered this finding into its corrective action program under Condition Report 2013-05866 The failure to promptly identify and correct a condition adverse to fire protection was a performance deficiency. This finding is more than minor because it is associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Protection Against External Events (fire) and affects the associated cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. The team performed a walkdown of both, electric and diesel, fire pump circuits from the control room to the fire pump house. The control room has fire pump switches and status lights in the sprinkler control and fire alarm panel. The control room is continuously manned and fire extinguishers are available for manual fire suppression. The fire pump circuits in the cable spreading room are routed in separate conduits in parallel with no fixed ignition sources near the conduits. Transient combustibles in the cable spreading room are limited and strictly controlled. Transient combustibles are only a potential threat where the conduits vertically go through the floor. The fire pump circuits in the seal water pump area and hallway (control building elevation 903) are not routed near any fixed ignition sources. Combustible materials are stored near the conduits in the multipurpose facility, but there are no significant ignition sources or work areas nearby. Using Inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, the finding was assigned a low degradation rating, because the wiring was routed in conduits through areas with limited combustibles and no ignition sources; consequently this finding is of very low safety significance (Green) per Attachment 1, Task 1.3.1, Question 1. The finding did not have a cross-cutting aspect since it was not indicative of present performance in that the performance deficiency occurred more than three years ago. |
