+Attended exit interview 2.
Exit Interview The inspection scope and findings were summarized on January ll, 1980 with those persons indicated in Paragraph 1 above.
The completion status of fire protection modifications was discussed, as was the apparent lack of a quality assurance program addressing fire protection activities.
Subsequent to the exit interview, the plant manager-nuclear agreed to include quality requirements in the reviews, then ongoing, of fire protection related plant change/modification packages.

Plant Modifications to Improve the Turkey Point Fire Protection Program The inspector reviewed the program stat'us of modifications addressed in Sections 3.1.1 through 3.1.19 of NRC's Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report dated March 21, 1979, and implemented by license amendments 45 and
, 37 to facility operating licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 respectively.
Selected modifications scheduled to be currently completed in Florida Power and Light Company letter L-79-128 of May 21, 1979, were inspected for completio The status of these items is discussed below.

Fire Protection Quality Assurance Program During the course of this inspection, the inspector inquired into the implementation status of the Fire Protection Quality Assurance (FPQA)
Program as addressed in NRC letter of February 5, 1978 "Fire Protection Guidelines",
attachment 6; Florida Power and Light Company's (FPSL) response letter L-78-197, "Fire Protection Guidelines",
enclosure 1, attachment 6;
and NRC confirming letter of June 30, 1978, "Fire Protection Guidelines".
Though evidence, in, the form of an FPSL internal presentation, entitled
"PTP Reliability/Quality Plan, Fire Protection System" and dated 3/21/78, indicated initial planning for a FPQA program, no evidence of completed FPQA program development and implementation was produced by the licensee.
The inspector also noted that EPP-QI 3.1 Revision 2, Section 7.2 (b) does task designers to "establish requirements to accommodate fire" and lists examples, but this document indicates that it applies only to items of design that (a) are currently defined as "safety related" and (b) the original design is accomplished by the Power Plant Engineering Department.
This document mitigates neither the need for a FPQA program nor the need for it to be identifiable at all levels, since some design work is accom-plished by facility personnel and plant changes deemed at the facility to
"not be safety related" do not go to the corporate office for review and approval.
This lack of development and implementation of a FPQA program is considered to be deviation from a commitment to the commission (250/251/80-03-01).
