| Title | Inadequate Fireproofing on Fire Barrier Protecting the Safeguards Switchgear Room |
| Description | The inspectors identified a Green noncited violation of Facility Operating License Condition 2.C(41) involving the failure to ensure that fire barriers protecting safety-related areas were functional. The inspectors identified an 8-foot length of structural steel in the east stairwell wall, which is shared by the Division I safeguards switchgear room, that did not have the required fireproofing to maintain an adequate fire barrier. The missing passive fire protection reduced the fire rating of the wall by allowing heat to transfer through the unprotected steel, thus degrading the fire containment capability assumed in the fire hazards analysis. The licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program as Condition Report CR-GGN-2008-01849. The finding was more than minor since it was associated with the protection against external factors attribute of the reactor safety Mitigating Systems Cornerstone, and adversely affected the cornerstone objective to ensure the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences. Using Manual Chapter 0609, Appendix F, Fire Protection Significance Determination Process, the inspectors determined that the finding impacted the fire confinement category. The inspectors assigned a high degradation rating due to the fact that the required fireproofing was missing. The inspectors used the supplemental screening process for fire confinement findings and concluded that the finding was of very low safety significance (Green) due to the fact that the degraded barrier would have provided a minimum of 20 minutes fire endurance protection and there were no fire ignition sources or combustible materials in the area that would subject the barrier to direct flame impingemen |
