Fire Protection Prevention Program (64704) Fire Prevention/Administrative Control Procedures The inspector reviewed the following Fire Prevention/Administrative Procedures:
- Procedure N FPP ADM-56
Title Fire Protection Program December 17, 1984 Special Processes Involving Ignition Sources, June 25, 1985 Based on this review, it appears that the above procedures except for the fire preplans in the fire protection program meet the NRC guide-lines of the Document Entitled 11 Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Func-tional Responsibilities, Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance
Dated June 1977 and the licensee's commitments in their letters to the NRC dated July 14, 1977, April 5, 1977 and July 21. 197 The licensee is currently revising the fire preplans to provide additional firefighting guidance to the fire brigade with regard to the control of plant fire protection features which will assist the brigade in the reduction of fire damage, smoke control, fire suppression water runoff control, et In addition, the fire preplans are incorporating the fire area boundaries presently proposed by the licensee's Appendix Revaluatio The licensee's current schedule indicates that the revised firefighting preplans will be fully implemented by the end of the first quarter of 198 This is identified as Inspector Followup Item ( 280/85-37-01 and 281/85-37-01), Firefighting Prep 1 ans Lac~
Brigade Guidance In Smoke Control, Fire Damage Control and Fire Suppression Water Runoff Control, and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspectio Fire Protection Surveillance Procedures The inspector reviewed the following Fire Protection System Surveill-ance Procedures:
Procedure N Title PT. 2 Fire Prot. Water Pump (Rev. 11-5-85)
PT. 2 High Pressure CO2 (Rev. 5-10-84)

The above surveillance procedures were reviewed to determine if the various test outlines and inspection instructions adequately implement the surveillance requirements of the Plant 1 s Fire Protection Technical Specification In addition, these procedures were reviewed to determine if the inspection and test instructions followed General Industry Fire Protection Practices, NRC Fire Protection Program Guidelines and the Guidelines of the National Fire Protection Associa-tion (NFPA) Fire Code Based on this review, it appears that the above. procedures are satisfactory except for survei 11 ance test procedure PT. 24.12 Fire Pump Flow Rate Tes The annual fire pump test does not follow the testing guidance provided in National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard-20 11 Installa-tion of Centrifugal Fire Pumps
- The present acceptance criteria only records the 100% fl ow rate capacity of the pump and the discharge pressure and does not denote engine/motor performance characteristic In addition, the annual fire pump test does not test peak l~ad (150%
capacity) condition Therefore, the test procedure does not utilize the NFPA pump test data (Discharge flow and pressure, engine/motor speed, etc.) for comparison to the original pump acceptance curve thus, the true performance of the pump is not specifically determined by the subject test procedur The 1 i censee recognizes the inspectors concerns and committed to revise the procedure appropriately. This is identified as Inspector Followup Item (280/85-37-02 and 281/85-37-02),

The licensee indicated that the fire truck replaced the foam cart identified in the Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report (FPSER).
The inspector reviewed the FPSER to determine if the equipment carried
..,.
on the fire truck provided equivalent protection to the equipment which was carried on the foam car Based on this review, it appears that the equipped fire truck provides a higher level of protection then the foam cart described in the FPSE The inspector advised the licensee that they should revise their commitment to the NRC with regard to the replacement of the foam cart by the site fire truck. This is identi-fied as Inspector Foll owup Item (280/85-37-05 and 281/85-37-05),
Failure to Revise FPSER Commitment Regarding Replacement of Foam Cart by Fire Truc The plant tour was also verified the licensee's implementation of the fire prevention administrative procedure The control of combustibles and flammable materials, liquids and gases, and the general house-keeping was found to be satisfactory in the areas inspecte Two welding operations were observed one in the turbine and the other in the fuel buildin An approved "Hot Work" permit had been issued for each of the welding sites and the operations and fire prevention/protection practices met the licensee's fire prevention procedure requirement Within the areas inspected, no violations or deviations were identified.
