| Title | Failure to Implement and Maintain the Fire Protection Program with Respect to the Use and Storage of Combustibles in the Control Structure |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green NCV of the Susquehanna, Unit 2 Operating License Condition 2.C.(3), Fire Protection for failure to administratively control combustible loading in an area on the 686\' elevation of the control structure. As a result, a normally locked storage area was discovered to contain numerous combustibles without designated detection, suppression, or a pre-fire plan. This issue was placed in PPL\'s corrective action program (CAP) and immediate corrective actions included the removal of some of the combustible materials and the assignment of hourly fire watches. The finding was more than minor because it was associated with the external factors attribute (fire) of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Specifically, PPL did not ensure that plant procedures controlled the use and storage of combustible materials and that a combustible loading analysis was maintained for a locked storage area fire zone in the control structure. The inspectors assessed this finding in accordance with IMC 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, and determined the finding to be of very low safety significance (Green) because the fire barrier between the safety-related equipment in the lower relay room and this storage area was being properly maintained and found in good physical condition. The finding was determined to have a crosscutting aspect in the area of Problem Identification and Resolution, Corrective Action Program, because PPL did not implement a CAP with a low threshold for identifying issues P.1(a). Specifically, PPL had reasonable opportunities to identify the combustible loading issue on multiple occasions during access of the storage room |
