Fire Protection / Prevention Program
-
a.
The inspector verified that functional responsibilities, per-sonnel responsible for fire protection / prevention activities and communications have been delineated in Administrative
.
Procedures (PBNP 3.31).
b.
Also reviewed were the requirements in administrative pro-cedures for periodic program audits, indoctrination of contractor personnel in necessary aspects of the fire pro-tection/ prevention program and emergency procedures, and the qualification program for fire brigade members.
Specific immediate and subsequent actions are specified for an indi-vidual discovering a fire and the control room operator.
c.
The inspector reviewed the licensee's administrative procedures for control of combustibles and found that there was no special authorization required for the use of combustible, flammable or explosive material in safety related areas.
Similarly, the inspector could not find any guidelines as to prohibition of storage of combustibles or requirements for use of only fire retardant treated wood in safety related areas.
It was also noted that no commitment currently exists in respect to these concerns. However, routine worksite and general plant tours by supervisory staff knowledgeable in these concerns have apparently kept this from being a problem. This was verified by a plant tour by the inspector.
d.
Ignition source control was reviewed by the inspector and the
" Ignition Control Permit Procedure" (PBNP 3.20) was found to provide adequate control in this area.
Smoking is prohibited in safety related areas except where " smoking permitted" areas have been specifically designated, The inspector reviewed the licensee's fire fighting procedures e.
and attack plan and found that they adequately specify actions to be taken by the fire brigade, coordination of efforts with the Two Creeks Volunteer Fire Department, and actions to be taken by the plant superintendent, security guards, plant operators and general plant employees.
f.
The inspector reviewed the fire brigade training and was not able to verify all required training had been conducted due to the temporary absence of the training supervisor., Records were available that indicated that most requirement; have been met, though this will be inspected in greater detail in a future inspection.

Implementation of Fire Protection / Prevention Program a.
Records of fire inspections performed by fire insurance inspec-tors for M&M protection consultants were reviewed and deficiencies identified were adequately reviewed and resolved.
-
b.
The inspector toured the facility with a licensee represen-tative and found fire fighting equipment properly maintained, stowed and identified.
It was noted that the licensee is installing new emergency breathing apparatus for use of the fire brigade and intends to comply with established guidelines for number and capacity.
No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.
5.
Exit Interview The inspector met with the licensee's representatives (denoted in Paragraph 1) at the conclusion of the inspection on June 27, 1979 and summarized the scope of the inspection.
Findings discussed included the need for a qualified replacement for the current fire protection supervisor due to health problems. Also discussed was the lack of progress toward developing a training program for fighting energized electrical equipment.
A discussion relative to the comments in Paragraph 3.c indicated that consideration will be given to these concerns.
