| Title | Failure to institute pre-fire plans for the Units 1 and 2 drywell and torus areas in accordance with the Hatch updated fire hazards analysis |
| Description | Hatch Unit 1 License Condition 2.C.(3) and Hatch Unit 2 License Condition 2.C.(3)(a) state in part, that Southern Nuclear shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the fire protection program, which is referenced in the updated final safety analysis report for the facility, as contained in the updated fire hazards analysis and fire protection program for the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, which was originally submitted by letter dated July 22, 1986. Hatch updated Fire Hazards Analysis Section 9.1, Appendix A Fire Protection Program Plan, Subpart 6.2, Pre-Fire Planning, states in part, that pre-fire plans for fighting fires in all safetyrelated areas have been instituted at Hatch Nuclear Plant. Contrary to the above, Southern Nuclear failed to implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the fire protection program, as contained in the updated fire hazards analysis. Specifically, Southern Nuclear failed to institute pre-fire plans for fighting fires in safety-related fire areas 1201, Unit 1 Drywell and Torus and 2201, Unit 2 Drywell and Torus. This violation has existed since initial plant start-up. The licensee entered this violation into their corrective action program as CR 788963. Because the licensee committed to adopt NFPA 805 and change their fire protection licensing bases to comply with 10 CFR 50.48(c), the NRC is exercising enforcement and reactor oversight process (ROP) discretion for this issue in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, Section 9.1, Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48) and Inspection Manual Chapter 0305. Specifically, this issue was identified and will be addressed during the licensees transition to NFPA 805, was entered into the licensees corrective action program (immediate corrective action and compensatory measures were taken), was not likely to have been previously identified by routine licensee efforts, was not willful, and it was not associated with a finding of high safety significance (i.e., Red). |
