Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings a. (Closed) Unresolved Item (261/80-26-04) - Containment fire suppression systems do not meet NRC single failure criteri The primary and secondary fire protection water systems for the reactor coolant pumps are supplied by the same piping system which does not meet single failure criteria. However, Carolina Power and Light Company (CP&L)

letter (NO-80-896) of June 12, 1980, clearly described the arrangement of. these systems and NRC/NRR's letter of December 8, 1980, from S. A. Varga to J. A. Jones, CP&L, found the arrangment of the fire protection system for the general area of the containment to be accept able. Based on this approval, this item is close (Closed) Deviation (261/79-29-01) -

Inadequate and substandard control and sectional valves for the exterior fire protection water syste The licensee has installed an interior control valve for the auxiliary building standpipe system in lieu of the two previously required exterior control valves. NRR has reviewed this modification and stated by memorandum from V. Benaroya, NRC/CEB to B. J. Youngblood, NRC/

Licensing dated February 6, 1981, that this arrangement was acceptabl Therefore, this item is close *

2 (Closed) Unresolved Item (261/79-29-03) -

Fire protection requirements for containment. The licensee has installed a water spray fire protec tion system for each reactor coolant pum However, it appears that an oil collection system may also be required to meet the provisions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. This modification is identified as an Appendix R requirement and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspectio Therefore, this item number is close (Closed) Unresolved Item (261/79-29-04) - Substandard fire protection procedure The licensee has revised these procedures to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. Refer to paragraph This item is close.

Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspectio.

Inspector Followup Items a. (Closed)

Inspector Followup Item (261/79-29-05)

-

Nonsupervised actu ation circuits to fire suppression systems. The licensee has elected not to electrically supervise the actuation circuits to the fire suppression systems since this feature is not required but only a recommended feature by the applicable NFPA code Therefore, this item is close (Closed) Inspector Followup Item (261/79-29-06)

- Actuation devices for preaction sprinkler system in solid waste handling roo CP&L's letter (NO-80-132) of January 28, 1980, to NRR requested a supplement to the Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report to change the method of actuation for this system from smoke detectors to heat detectors since the smoke detectors were not compatible with the high dust conditions in the room. Neither this sprinkler system nor fire detection system is included in the technical specification Therefore, this item is close.

Fire Protection/Prevention Program a. Administrative Procedures The inspector reviewed the following licensee's fire protection proce dures:

Procedure N Fire Protection Manual FPP-001 Fire Emergency FPP-002 Fire Report FPP-003 Control of Transient Combustibles FPP-004 Duties of A Fire Watch

FPP-005 Hot Work Permits FPP-006 Handling of Flammable Liquids and Gases FPP-007 Fire Fighting Equipment FPP-008 Inspection of Maintenance and Modification Activities for Fire Protection Systems FPP-009 Surveillance of Fire Protection Activities FPP-010 Housekeeping Controls FPP-011 Training and Drills Documentation FPP-012 Fire Protection List These procedures were found to comply in general with the NRC require ments of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Item II.K as committed by CP&L's letter of November 6, 198 Fire Brigade (1) Organization The plant fire brigade for each shift is composed of three opera tions personnel from Unit 2, two operations personnel from Unit 1 and one technical aide from the fire protection group. The team leader is one of the Unit 2 senior control operator The inspec tor reviewed the three shift attendance for the following dates and verified that sufficient qualified personnel were on duty to meet the provisions of Technical Specification Section 6.2.2 for plant operation and for fire brigade operations:

-

September 7, 1981

-

November 1, 1981

-

November 5, 1981 (2) Training Procedure FPM-19, Section 5.3, indicates the fire brigade training requirements. The inspector reviewed the training records for three fire brigade team leaders and eight team member These records indicated that each of these brigade member had received the required initial training and the quarterly training for 198 The three team leaders had also received the required fire command training. A review of the respirator training and qualification records indicated that fire brigade members from Unit 1 and the new fire brigade members from Unit 2 were not respirator qualified due either from lack of a physical examination, respirator training or respirator fit tes This problem was identified by CP&L Corporate QA Audit QAA 20-24/25 of August 24 -

September 4, 1981, as Concern 1. This item is currently being evaluated by the licensee to determine the appropriate corrective action and is identified as Inspector Followup Item (261/81-30-01), Fire brigade physical examination and respirator protection requirements, and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspectio (3)

Drills (a)

Annual Drill With Offsite Fire Departments On December 16, 1980, a drill was conducted with the plant fire brigade and the Hartsville and Pine Ridge Fire Depart ment (b) Quarterly Fire Brigade Drills The inspector reviewed the records of the brigade drills conducted in 198 The records indicate that only two drills were conducted whereas Procedure FPM-19 required a drill each quarter for each shift brigade. This discrepancy was identi fied by CP&L Corporate QA Audit QAA-20-24/25 of August 24 September 4, 1981, as Item 6.D. The licensee has initiated action to assure that all future required drills will be properly conducte This is identified as Inspector Followup Item (261/81-30-02),

Inadequate number of fire brigade.drills for 1981, and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspectio (3) Fire Brigade Equipment A sufficient quantity of turnout gear (coats, pants, boots and helmets) is provided to equip 13 fire brigade member This protective clothing is stored in a fire equipment house located adjacent to the turbine buildin Additional fire fighting equipment, including two smoke ejectors, handlights, radios, portable foam unit with 25 gallons of foam and 10 self contained breathing apparatus with 20 *spare cylinders, is also stored within this building. An air compressor is provided to recharge the air cylinders. This equipment was satisfactorily stored and main taine c. Inspection and Test of Fire Protection System The inspector reviewed the following surveillance inspection and test records for the dates indicated:

(1) PT-9.OA, Unit 2 Motor Driven Fire Water Pump and Fire Detection Systems (Monthly)

January 11 through October 27, 198 (2) PT-9.0B, Unit 2 Diesel Engine Fire Water Pump and Unit 2 Fire Water System Valve Inspection January 25 through October 23, 198 The record data was satisfactor Plant Tour A tour of the plant was made by the inspector. All of the fire protec tion systems required by the technical specifications were found in servic However, the Train A fire detection system for reactor coolant pump B water fire suppression system was out of service but is scheduled to be repaired during the current outag The fire detection system for the coolant pump area is included in the technical specifi cation but the suppression system is not included. Since Train B fire detection system for this area is operational, no limited condition of operations is require Furthermore, the suppression system can be manually activated from the control room or the containmen Fire hydrant equipment house Nos. 4,'9, 135 and 125 were inspected and the required equipment was provided and properly store The plant tour indicated that as a whole the licensee was adhering to the administrative procedures for the control of combustibles, flam mable and combustible liquids and gases and open flame ignition source Within the areas examined, no violations or deviations were identified.
