These audits identified several fire protection program discrepancies and unresolved items and recormended several program improvements.
Review of records showed that the licensee has implemented appropriate corrective actions on these audit finding Fire (2)
Brigade Organization The fire brigade is composed of approximately 104 personnel from the operations staff.
The brigade leader is normally the shift nuclear watch engineer or the nuclear operator.
The remaining Are brigade members are composed of two nuclear operators, one radiation protection technician, and one nuclear laboratory technician.
The inspector reviewed the on duty shifts for the period September 2 through September 30, 1987 and verified that sufficient qualified fire brigade personnel were on duty to meet the provisions of the plants Technical Specifications.
In addition, the inspection verified that sufficient personnel were assigned
+o each shift on the above dates to meet both the operational and the fire brigade requ',rements.
The inspector also verified that the Senior Reactor Operator in the Control Room shall not be assigned fire'rigade responsibilities.
Training The inspector reviewed the training and drill records for five fire brigade leaders and fourteen fire brigade members for 1987.
The records reviewed disclosed that each of these individuals except for one of the fire brigade members had received the annual medical review; had attended the required training; and had participated in the required number of drills.
Review of'he training records indicated that one individual's annual reoualification had expired on September 30, 1987.
However, review of the brigade roster in the control room on October 1,
1987, showed that this individual was still listed on the brigade roster.
Mhen this item was identified to the licensee, the individual was removed from the roster.
Discussions with this individual and several other brigade members indicated that he had taken the annual requalification training.
Based on the licensee's action of removing the individual from the roster and discussions with other brigade members, and the fact that the individual has exceeded the requirement by only one day, the inspector does not consider this to be a safety issue.
Review of training records for this individual and other brigade members will be reviewed in future inspections.
The inspector also reviewed the shift fire brigade drills conducted for each operating shift in 1987 each and noted that the drill requirements'or'each shift were me Fire Brigade Equipment The inspector performed an inspection of the fire brigade equipment, consisting of hoses, nozzles, tools and miscellaneous equipment stored at the fire brigade equipment storage lockers located in the turbine and auxiliary buildings and in the yard area.
The inspection disclosed that the correct number of coats, boots, helmets, gloves, tools, hoses, and self contained breathing apparatus were stored at these locations.
Based on this inspection, the designated fire brigade equipment appeared to be properly maintained and stored in a
ready condition.
Fire Brigade Drill During +his inspection, the inspector witnessed an announced fire brigade drill and an unannounced fire brigade drill.
The announced fire drill scenario was a fire involving the Unit 4 startup transformer and the unannounced fire drill scenario was an electrical fire located in the cable spreading room.
At each drill scenario fire brigade members responded to the pending fire emergency.
The brigade assembled at the scene of each simulated fire in full protective fire fighting turnout, clo hing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
An initial size-up of the fire condition was made by the fire brigade.
The startup transformer fire scenario was attacked with portable extinguishers and followed up with a
32 'gallon foam cart and 1 1/2" hose supply line.
The fire scenario in the cable spreading room was initially attacked with a portable A. B.
C.
extinguisher and a 1-1/2" standpipe hose was used as backup.
The fire at the s+artup transformer and cable spreading room were under control in 13 minutes.
The fire brigade util-;zed proper manual fire fighting methods and reacted to the fire drill scenario in an effective and efficient manner.
Plant Tour A plant tour was made by the inspector.
During the plant tour, the following safe shutdown related plant areas were inspected:
control room, cable spreading room, auxiliary building, and diesel generator building.
The inspector visually inspected the fire/smoke detection capabilities, the manual fire fighting equipment (i.e., portable extinguishers, hose stations, etc.)
and the fire barrier walls associated with the above plant area.
Based on the visual inspection, it appears that the fire protection features, associated with the above plant areas were properly maintained and fully functional.
The plant tour also verified the licensee's implementation of the fire prevention administrative procedures.
The control of combustible and flammable material, liquids and gases and the general housekeeping was found to be satisfactory in the areas inspected.
Mithin the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.
