Title | Failure to Follow Fire Protection Program Procedure Requirements |
Description | 10 CFR 50.48(a)(1 )(iv) requires, in part, that a licensee must have a fire protection plan that outlines the plans for fire protection, fire detection, suppression capability, and limitation of fire damage. STP Nuclear Operating Company Technical Specification 6;8.1.d requires, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the fire protection program implementation. Procedure ZFG-0001, "Fire Watch Program Guideline," Revision 10, Step 4.2 requires, in part, that each hourly fire watch shall be responsible for inspecting all areas of the room for possible indications of smoke, fire, or potential fire hazards, which includes looking behind all accessible areas, behind panels and components that may obscure the fire watches' view. Procedure ZFG-0001, "Fire Watch Program Guideline," Revision 11, Step 6.0, requires, in part, that a condition report shall be written for a missed fire watch. Procedure OPGP03-ZX-0002, "Condition Reporting Process," Revision 50, Step 3.7 requires, in part, that condition report owners are responsible for proper resolution of the condition, including ensuring that the condition report description is accurate and actions are initiated to address the condition. Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to implement written procedures covering the fire protection program as evidenced by the following two examples: 1. On May 8-15, 2014, hourly fire watches failed to follow Procedure ZFG-0001 and inspect all areas of the room for possible indications of smoke, fire, or potential fire hazards. Specifically, 20 fire watches, 17 in Unit 1 and 3 in Unit 2, were improperly performed as a result of improper written instructions provided by a supervisor to direct the hourly fire watches to only look at areas of impairments or transient fire loads instead of inspecting all areas of the room as required by fire protection program requirements. 2. On March 4, 2015, a supervisor failed to follow Procedure OPGP03-ZX-0002 when the supervisor closed a condition report and failed to ensure that the condition report description was accurate and actions were initiated to address the condition. Specifically, the supervisor documented inaccurate information in Condition Report 15-4871 that stated, in part, that when a fire watch for Unit 2, Mechanical Auxiliary Building, Room 67 was inadvertently closed, fire watch personnel routinely traversed through the area while performing rounds, and once identified the round was performed immediately with no issues identified. However, no fire watch personnel traversed the area because the room was locked and was not part of their normal route. Therefore, no fire watch personnel entered the room as documented in the condition report closure. |
