| Title | Failure to Maintain Fire Barrier and Automatic Fire Suppression |
| Description | A finding of very low safety significance and associated non-cited violation of license condition 2.C(3) of the Kewaunee Power Station Renewed Operating License was identified by inspectors for the failure to have a self-closing fire door that closed and latched each time it was open. License condition 2.C(3) requires, in part, that the licensee implement and maintain, in effect, all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the licensees fire plan. Appendix B of the Kewaunee Power Station Fire Protection Program Plan lists the 1975 edition of NFPA-80 [National Fire Protection Association], Fire Doors and Windows, as an applicable NFPA code. NFPA-80 states, in part, that a self-closing door shall be equipped with a closing device to cause the door to close and latch each time it is opened. The licensee entered the issue into its corrective action program and adjusted the door-closing device to ensure the door properly closed when the train A screenhouse ventilation fan was operating. The inspectors determined that the failure of the door to close and latch was contrary to the requirements of NFPA-80 and was a performance deficiency. The finding was determined to be more than minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems Cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors (Fire) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). The inspectors screened the finding as having very low safety significance (Green). The finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of problem identification and resolution, corrective action program, because the licensee did not thoroughly evaluate problems such that the resolutions address causes and extent of conditions. This includes properly classifying, prioritizing, and evaluating for operability and reportability conditions adverse to quality |
