Licensee Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Open) Deviation Item * (50-281/79-08-01) - Failure to implement the fire protection commitments of document entitled Steam Generator Repair Program for Surry Units 1 and 2. The status of the examples of this deviation are as follows:
(1)
The required temporary fire protection equipment have been provide (2)
The construction site fire brigade has been organized, trained and is meeting monthly for drills and training session (3) Installation of standpipe system is not.complete; however, the system is operational and can be used in the event of fir The licensee informed the inspector that the following items have to
-2-be completed; two control va-lves, one check valve and one addi-tional hose station must be installed and tp.e entire system hydrostatically tested at 200 psL for,two hour The licensee advised that each hose station had been equipped with 100 feet of 1\\-inch fire hos The system will be reevaluated during a subsequent NRC inspectio (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-281/79-46-1), Fire protectton requiremenv for temporary ventilation system for unit 2 containmen Further review of this 'temporary ventilation system conducted by NRC (IE/HQ and NRR) indicates that nei~her an automatic fire alarm system nor fire suppression system is require However, Section 4.5.4 of the document entitled "Steam Generator" Repair Program for Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2" should be revised by the licensee to clearly define the fire protection requirements for this system. This item is close, (Closed) Unresolved Item (50-280/79-29-0l and 50-281/79-46-02), Fire brigade training. 'Licensee has placed a high priority on fire brigade training to insure that all brigade members are adequately trained. A review of training records for June through September )979 indicated satisfactory attendance at all fire brigade classroom and practice drill training session Adequate procedures have been developed to assure good participation in the future. This item is close.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required to determine whether they are acceptable or may involve noncompliance or deviation New unresolved items identified _during this inspection are discussed in paragraph 6..
Fire Protection/Prevention - Steam Generator Repair Program (SGRP) Facility Tour Ah inspection was made of SGRP Storage Warehouse Nos. 7 and 9. The,
sprinkler system installation discrepancies previously identified'as Inspection Followup Item (50-281/79-08-03) were reviewed and found corrected, except the dry valve enclosure in Warehouse 7 is not weather tight and has not been provided with heat to prevent the valve or appurtenances from freezing during cold weather as required by Section 5-2.5 of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 13,
"Sprinkler Systems", and the sprinkler heads adjacent to the unit heaters in Warehouse 9 have not been changed to high degree type heads, as reuqired by Section 3-16.6.4 of NFPA-1 The sprinkler systems installed within the construction warehouses are supplied/ from the operating plant's fire protection system. Therefore, these sprinkler systems should 'meet the applicable NFPA criteria to assure that reliability of the plant's fire-protection water system is not reduce.*
- Records A review was made of the records maintained on the weekly inspection and tests of the warehouse automatic sprinkler systems and the _monthly
!:ire brigade training fo:r; 1979. The records reviewed were satisfactor *1 Within the areas examined, no items of noncompliance or deviations were
'
identifie.
Fire.Protection/Prevention - Operating Plant
- Facility Tour (1)
A tour was made of the following plant areas and the fire protec-tion features for these areas were evaluated:
(a)
Auxiliary Feedwater area (b)
Control Room Complex (c)
Emergency Switchgear and Relay Rooms (d)
Outside containment penetration areas (e)
Cable tunnel and service building cable vault (f)
Emergency intake structure (g)
Turbine building basement (h)
Diesel generator rooms (i) Fire protection water system control valves (2)
Findings (a)
The emergency switchgear rooms for each unit are separated by a fire wall with the communicating door open1ng protected by a 3-hour automatic closing fire door. However, this door was found to be inoperative since a 4160 volt transformer was stored in the door opening which would not permit the door to automatically close in the event of fir A fire watch had not been established for this are Section 3.21.G of the Technical Specifications requires all pene-tration fire barriers protecting safety related areas shall be functional at all time In the event a required fire barrier becomes nonfunctional, a limiting condition for operation (LCO) consisting of a continuous fire watch is required to be established on at least one side of the affected penetratio This blocked * and inoperative fire door in conjunction with the failure to establish the required LCO for this door is identified as Noncompliance Item (280/79-61-01 and 281/79-80-01), Inoperative fire door between Unit 1 and Unit 2 emergency switchgear room This noncompliance is an infraction. The transformer was, however, relocated prior to the co_mpletion of this inspection to permit the door to function properly in the event of fir ~----------

_fir Section 9.10. 1 of the FSAR states that the fire protection systems and features for the plant including fire barriers will be designed to meet the NFPA standard ~
Section 516. b of the 1968 edition of NFPA-80, "Fire Doors and Windows", (Section.2-8.2 of the 1977 edition) requires all swinging type fire doors to be provided with an approved positive latching devic The lack of latching devices on the above identified fire doors is a failure to meet a FSAR commitment to the NRC and is identified as Deviation Item (280/79-61-02 and 281/79-80-02), Substandard Fire I Door This discrepancy may also exist on other fire doors located at the plan The main supply cylinders for the carbon dioxide system at the service water intake structure diesel*fuel tank room have been removed for rechargin The licensee advised that these cylinders are to be reinstalled in the near.futur Presently, protection of this area is provided from a reserve bank of cylinder An inspection of this installation indicates t~at it is not po~sible to activate the carbon dioxide system from the 'manual actuation device located within the tank room when the system is supplied from the reserve bank of cylinders.Section IV.E.5 of the licensee's Fire Protection System Review for Surry Power Station (FPSR)
dated July 1, 1977 states that the carbon dioxide systems at the plant meet the provisions of NFPA-12, "Carbon Dioxide Systems".
Section 1-8.3.4 and 1-9.1.3 of NFPA-12 require carbon dioxide systems to be capable of being activated by manual actuation devices located within the p*rotected are This manual device is required to be able to activate the bank of cylinders in service. This discrepancy is a failure to meet a commitment to the NRC and is identified as Deviation Item (280/79-61-3 and 281/79-80-3), Substandard -carbon Dioxide System For Diesel Tank Room in the service water intake structur Fire Protection Systems The following periodic test procedures and re.corded tests on the fire protection systems were reviewed and discrepancies noted:
