| Title | Degraded Latch Prevents Closure of Fire Door |
| Description | The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance (Green) and associated non-citied violation of License Condition 2.C.4 for Unit 1, for the licensees failure to ensure that a fire door would be closed at the time of a fire. Specifically, fire door 1-DR-AUX387 was found with a degraded latch that prevented the door from closing. Donald C. Cook is required to comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 80, 1970 which requires a closing device to ensure fire doors close and latch at the time of a fire. Contrary to this requirement, fire door 1-DR-AUX-387 would not close and latch because the latching mechanism for the inactive leaf had failed in a manner preventing the door from closing. As immediate corrective action, the licensee started hourly fire watches on the door and performed an interim repair to restore the door to a functional status. The licensee has entered the condition into the corrective action program as AR 2014-0802. The inspectors determined the finding was more than minor because it was associated with the Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of Protection Against External Events (Fire) and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the licensee failed to maintain door 387 such that it could perform its required function as a 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> fire barrier. Using IMC 0609, Appendix F, the inspectors concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) because the fire loading was below the screening criteria of 120,000 btu/ft2. The inspectors concluded the finding included a cross-cutting aspect of H.5, Work Planning, in the area of human performance because the licensee did incorporate risk insights. |
