The surveillance test 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 Fire Protection Audit The most recent audit reports of the fire protection program were reviewed, these audits were:

Annual Audit S-88-26, December 19-20, 1988 Nuclear Mutual Limitied Loss Prevention Inspection of Surry Power Station, April 6-8, 1988

Nuclear Mutua 1 Limited Loss Prevention Inspection Surry Power Station, October 11-13, 1988 These audits identified several fire protection piogram discrepancies and recommended several program improvement The 1 icensee has either implemented the corrective actions associated with th~se audit findings or a scheduled date for completion of the corrective actions has been establishe The licer:isee appears to be taking the appropriate corre~tive actions on these audit f~nding Fi re Brigade (1)

Organization The total station fire brigade is composed of approximately 57 personnel from the operations and security staf The on duty shift fire brigade leader is normally one of the operator The inspector reviewed the on duty shift for February 1989 and verified that sufficient qualified fire brigade personnel were on duty to meet the provisions of the plants technical specificatio In addition, the inspector verified that r>

sufficient personne 1 were assigned to each s.hi ft to meet the minimum operating and fire brigade staff requirements of the technical specification Therefore, it appears based on the review of the duty ro*sters associated with the above dates, that there was sufficient manpower on duty to meet both operational and fire brigade requirements of the plants Technical Specification (2) Training The inspector reviewed the training and drill records for 15 brigade ~eaders and 20 brigade members for 1988 and 198 The records revi ew*ed i nd1 cated :that each of these 1 eaders and members had received an annual medical review, attended the

required training and participated in the required number of dri 11 The inspector a 1 so verified that a fire brigade dri 11 had been conducted every 92 days for each shift for 198 The brigade training records which were inspected were found satisfactor Fire Brigade Firefighting Strategies The inspector reviewed plant and fire fighting strategies for the Auxiliary and Containment Buildin Firefighting strategies reviewed were strategy numbers 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 108, 109, 112, 122, 123, 124, 125, 127, 128, 129, 134, 144, 145, 146, 149, 150, 151, 153, 155, 158 and 16 The firefighting strategies were revised April 5, 198 Based on this review, the inspector determined that the firefighting strategies adequately addressed the fire hazards in the area, the type of fire extinguishants 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 Brig~de Drill During this 1nspection, the inspector witnessed an unannounced fire brigade dril The drill scenario was a fire in the Unit two cable tray roo The scenario was that cable was smoldering in the penetration area behind the Unit 2 reactor trip breaker roo Ten fire brigade members responded to the pending fir The brigade assembled outside the Unit 2 cable spreading room in full protective firefighting turnout clothing and self contained breathing apparatu An initial siz~-up of the fire condition was made by the brigade leade Two ABC extinguishers and a 1\\ inch fire attack hose were used to extinguish the fir The fire was placed under control in 30 minute In addition, the fire brigade initiated fire victim search and rescue, smoke control and communication The fire brigade utilized proper manual firefighting methods and reacted to the fire drill scenario in an effective and efficient manne Plant Tour Inspection of Fire Protection Equipment (1) The inspector performed an inspection of the fire brigade equipment lockers at the fire brigade equipment response location located in the truck bay of the turbine building.

.... :. ~--~

A total of four lockers were inspected which contained eight sets of turnout gear (coats, boats, helmets etc.) eight sets of self contained breathing apparatus, and 24 spare air cylinders just outside the control room in the turbine buildin Based on this inspection, the designated fire brigade equipment appeared to be properly maintained and stored in a ready conditio (2)

Outside Fire Protection Walkdown The inspector verified that the two fire pumps were inservice with all essential valves properly aligne The diesel fuel tank for the diesel driven fire pump was approximately ninety percent full of fuel which met the requirements of the Technica Specification In addition, the. low pressure CO 2 tank was verified to be 95 percent full as required by Technical Specification The following sectional control valves in the outside fire protection water supply system were inspected and verified to be properly aligned and locked in position:

Valve Number 1-FP-46 1-FP-47 1-FP-48 1-FP-49 1-FP-53 1-FP-40 1-FP-23 1-FP-81 1-FP-85 1-FP-91 1-FP-101 Valve Number 1-FP-35 1-FP-54 1-FP-56 1-FP-56A 1-FP-41 1-FP-42 1-FP-26 1-FP-79 1-FP-86 1-FP-92 1-FP-93 Hose houses 6, 7, 8, 9 and 15 were inspected to verify that the proper equipment was installe This inspection verified that the proper amount of equipment was properly stored in the hose cabinet A tour of the exterior of the plant indicated that sufficient clearance was provided between permanent safety related buildings and structures and temporary buildings, trailers and other transient combustible material The general housekeeping of the area adjacent to the permanent plant structures was satisfactory.

Permanent Plant Fire Protection Features A plant tour was made by the inspecto During the plant tour the following safe shutdown related plant areas and their related fire protection features were inspected:

Fire Area Description

Emergency Diesel Generator Room 1

Emergency Diesel Generator Room 2

Emergency Diesel Generator Room 3

Unit 1 Safeguards

Unit 2 Safeguards The fire/smoke detection systems, manual firefighting equipment (i.e., portable extinguishers, hose stations, etc, etc.) and the fire area boundary walls, floors, and ceiling associated with the above pl ant areas were inspected and verified to be in service or functiona The CO 2 (Halon) system installed in the three diesel generator rooms were inspected and found to be in servic Bas~d on this inspect~on, it appears that the iire protection features associated with the above plant areas are satisfactorily maintaine The plant tour also verified the licensee's implementation of the fire prevention administrative procedure The control of combustibles, and flammable materials, liquids and gases, and the genera 1 housekeeping were found to be good in the areas inspecte (4)
