Procedure N Test Records (Continued)
MP/O/A/200/60 Keowee Hydro Station, Periodic Test of Co System Generator N, June 1, 1918 The surveillance test record data and testing frequency associated with the above fire protection system surveillance test inspections were found to be satisfactory with regard to meeting the requirements of the plants Fire Protection Technical Specification d. Fire Protection Audits The most recent audit report of the Oconee Fire Protection program was reviewed. This was annual audit Number NP-88-10 (ON)
conducted May 9 to 20, 198 This audit identified several fire protection program discrepancies and unresolved items and recommended several program improvement The licensee appeared to be taking appropriate corrective action on these audit finding Fire Brigade (1) Organization The fire brigade is composed of approximately 168 members from the operation's group. The brigade leader is normally one of the assistant chief supervisors and other brigade members are nuclear equipment operator Sufficient personnel are assigned to each shift to meet the minimum operations staffing requirements of the Technical Specifications including five members for fire brigade duties. The inspector reviewed the shift assignment for May and June 1988 and-verified that sufficient manpower to meet these requirements were assigned to each shif (2) The inspector reviewed the training and drill records for all brigade leaders and brigade members for the fourth quarter of 1987 and the first and second quarter of 198 The records reviewed indicated that each of these leaders and members had received an annual medical review, attended the required training, and participated in the required number of drill The inspector also verified that a fire brigade drill had been conducted each quarter of 1987 and 198 The fire brigade training records were found satisfactor In addition the inspector reviewed the licensee's initial fire brigade training to verify the following topics were being covere Indoctrination of plant fire fighting plant with specific identification of each individuals responsibilitie Indentification of the type and location of fire hazards and associated types of fires that could occur in the plan The toxic and corrosive characteristics of expected products of combustio Identification of the location of fire fighting equipment for each area and familiarization with the layout of the plant including access and egress routes to each are The proper use of available fire fighting equipment and the correct methods of fighting each type of fir The proper use of communication, lighting, ventilation and emergency breathing equipmen The proper methods for fighting fires inside buildings and confined space Based on this review, the inspector concluded that the licensee's initial fire brigade training program covered the above training topic In addition, it appears that the licensee's fire brigade training program repeats the basic fire fighting skills of the initial progra (3) Fire Brigade Fire Fighting Strategies The inspector reviewed the following plant fire fighting strategies (pre-fire plans):
Plan No. 1 Unit 1 Control Battery Room Auxiliary Building Room 400, Level 4 Plan No. 3 Unit 2 Control Battery Room Building 458, Level 14 Plan No. 6 Unit 1 and 2 Blockhouse, Turbine Building Level 3 Plan No. 8 Unit 1 Cable Spreading Room, Auxiliary Building Room 403, Level 4 Plan No. 11 Unit 1 and 2 Control Room, Level 5 of Turbine Auxiliary Building Plan No. 15 Unit 1 - Turbine Driven Emergency Feedwater Pump, Level 1 of Turbine Building
Plan No. 23 Unit 1 and 2 HPI Pumps, Level 1 of Auxiliary Building Plan No. 25 HPSW Pumps A and B, Located In Turbine Basement Plan No. 26 HPSW Jockey Pump, Turbine Building Basement Column I-H and J-29 Plan No. 28 Unit 1 LPI Pumps and RBS Pumps, Auxiliary Buildings Level 771, Room 119 Plan No. 34 Unit 1 Penetration Room, Level 4 of the Auxiliary Building Plan No. 40 SSF - Pump Room Plan No. 41 Unit 1 and 2 Switchgear Room, Level 3 of the Turbine Building Plan No. 46 Transformer CT-2 Located E side of Turbine Building between Transformer CT-2 and CT-3 Plan No. 51 Radwaste Facility Located at South End of Turbine Building Based on this review, the inspector determined that the above fire fighting strategies adequately addressed the fire hazards in the area, the type of extinguishers to be utilized, the.
direction of attack, systems in the room/area to be managed in order to reduce fire damage, heat sensitive equipment in the room/area, and specific fire brigade duties with regard to smoke control and salvag (4) Fire Brigade Drill During this inspection, the inspector witnessed an unannounced fire brigade dril The drill scenario involved a failure of several batteries due to overcharging results in an explosion, fire, electrolyte release in the Unit 2 battery room, and the stairwell fills with smok The drills was announced over the P.A. system at 9:29 a.m. and repeated at 9:32 Twelve Fire brigade members and one chemistry technician responded to the fire. The initial size up of the fire condition was made by the fire brigade captain and strategies were decided by the fire brigade leader and manpower was deployed for equipment placement. The fire brigade leader assigned two man teams to prepare for entr The assigned teams entered the access
corridor with a radio, two Co extinguishers and a 1.5 inch hose line. The line officer advisid the fire brigade leader of heavy smoke and requested smoke ejector The fire brigade leader advised the control room to have AHU-16 deenergized. The attack team entered the battery room and attacked the fire with Co extinguishers. The controller advised the team that the fift was ou One member simulated application of soda on the electrolytic spil The adjacent batteries and rooms were checked for damage. Two operation fire brigade members arrived with ventilation equipment. Two of the entry team members left the battery room to report to the fire brigade leader. Two fire brigade members remained to observe for reflas The drill was secured at 9:45 The fire brigade utilized proper manual fire fighting methods and reacted to the drill scenario in an effective and efficient manne f. Plant Tour and Inspection of Fire Protection Equipment (1) The inspector performed an inspection of the fire brigade equipment, consisting of fire hoses, nozzles, tools and miscellaneous equipmen The equipment is stored on three trailers in the exterior area of the plant, on two tool carts adjacent to the control rooms and in cabinets on the Unit 2 control lobby, Unit 2 and 3 elevator lobby, and turbine buildin Three portable foam carts were also inspecte Examination of equipment in these showed that the proper amount of equipment was stored in the referenced areas and that the equipment was properly maintaine (2) Permanent Plant Fire Protection Features A plant tour was made by the inspecto During the tour, the following safe shutdown plant areas and their related fire protection features.were inspected:
Units 1, 2, and 3 Control Room Unit 1, Control Battery Room Unit 2, Control Battery Room Unit 3, Control Battery Room Unit 1 and 2, Switchgear Room Unit 1, 2, and 3 Cable Shaft Unit 1, 2, and 3 Cable Spreading Room Turbine Building Basement, Electric and Jockey Fire Pumps Transformers CT-1, CT-2, CT-3, CT-5, Keowee Hydro Station Generator 1 and 2 The fire smoke detection systems and manual fire fighting equipment for the above plant areas were inspected and verified
to be in servic Based on this inspection it appears that the fire protection features associated with the above plant areas are satisfactorily maintained. The plant tour also verified the licensee's implementation of the fire prevention administrative procedures. The control of combustibles and flammable materials, liquids and gases, and the general housekeeping were found to be acceptable in the areas inspecte Within the areas inspected no violations or deviations were identifie.
