The inspectors identified a non-cited violation of Unit 2 Operating License Condition 2.C.4 and the
Fire Protection Program as contained in design basis document MCS-1465.00-00-008, Plant Design Basis Specification for Fire Protection. Specifically, the licensee implemented a deficient fire pre-plan strategy
in fire areas 10/12 which failed to provide pertinent information and guidance on alternate available communications to assist the fire brigade for a fire within the area as required by the licensing basis. The licensee entered the problem into their corrective action program and issued a night order informing Operations staff of the potential inability to use radios in fire areas 10/12. The finding is greater than minor because it affected the ability of the licensee to maintain communications for a fire in fire areas 10/12 and is associated with the
Mitigating Systems cornerstone and respective attribute of protection against external factors, i.e. fire. The safety significance of the deficient fire pre-plan strategy was determined to be very low because the fire pre-plan strategy would not impede the fire brigades ability to extinguish a fire in the specified fire areas. This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification & Resolution for the Corrective Action Program component
P.1c] because the licensee failed to thoroughly evaluate the previously identified problems associated with the fire preplans to ensure that the corrective actions were effective in identifying and correcting issues with the communications availability for the fire brigade.
