surveillances.on fire sup)ression, detection,.and support equipment. The licensee has maintained t1e personnel training, qualifications, and responsibilities for the fire brigade members. Maintenance evolutions that significantly increase fire risk are-properly. controlled.
The inspector toured accessible areas of the plant to de.termine general area i
conditions and to visually observe the condition of fire protection systems and'
equipment. Combustible materials, flamable and combustible liquid, and gas usage were restricted for use or properly centro 11ed in areas containing
-
safety-related equipment and equipmant. During the walkdown of the plant, the inspector's checks included positions of selected valves, fire barrier-conditions, hose-station-location and conditions, and type, location, and-
-condition of fire extinguishers.
'
Welding, cutting, or use of open flame ignition sources were not found in the areas toured. There were no construction' activities in progress during the-(
walkdown. General housekeeping conditions were found to be excellent.
-
The inspector reviewed the completed packages for functional testing of fire detectors and emergency lighting installed in the safety-related areas. The packages reviewed indicated that the equipment was tested in accordance with therequirementsspecified.intheTechnicalSpecifications(TS). Fire brigade equipment, including emergency. breathing apparatus, was found to be properly stored and maintained.
'
The inspector also reviewed fire brigade training and drill records. The records were u)-to-date and confirmed that training and drills were being conducted at tie specified_ intervals.
The inspector reviewed the last two quality assurance fire protection audits.
These audits were conducted in-June 1988 and July:1989. The audit packages I
were well organized and appeared thorough and informative. The reviews of these packages indicated that the licensee had documented deficient conditions and had initiated the corrective action..These audit packages-satisfied the-requirements of the FSV TS relative to the fire'protaction program._
There were no violations or deviations-identified.in this area.of the inspection.
