c.
(0 pen) Unresolved Item (302/80-40-01) - Inadequate Fire Door Hardware:
A work order has been issued to provide new approved type hardware on the fire doors,between the hot machine shop and the auxisiary building and between the turbine building and control building. Presently, the hardware to these doors are broken. and the doors will not automatically close and properly latch. The. nonfunctional, doors between the turbine and control buildings are not considered a violation since these doors do not separate safety related areas but these doors are important to safety and need to be repaired. However, the. inoperative doors between-the hot machine shop and the auxiliary building are required to be operable by the Technical Specifications.
This item is a violation.
Refer to paragraph 7.d for details.
d.
(0 pen) Unresolved Item (302/80-40-04) Fire Suppression Systems for Auxiliary Building Do Not Meet Single Failure Criteria: As previously advised by FPC's letter of February 13,1981 (File 3-0-3-a(2), 3-F-2)
from J. A. Hancock to James P. O'Reilly, NRC Region II, a design is in process to provide an additional water supply for the auxiliary building. This item remains open.
e.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (302/80-40-05) - Automatic Fire Detection Not
.
Provided for New and Spent Fuel Areas: NRR has reevaluated this item l
and advised by telephone conversation between R. K. Anano, NRC/NRR and W. H. Miller, NRC Region II that automatic fire detection for this area was not required due to the low level of combustible storage and high ceiling heights. Therefore, this item is closed.
f.
(Closed). Unresolved Item (302/80-40-06) - Unprotected Fire Barrier Penetrations In The Intermediate Building.
The licensee has-reeval-uated the fire protection features in this area and determined that these openings are not required to be covered or sealed due; to the low quanity of combustibles located in this area, the smoke detector system being installed in this area and the availability of manual fire fighting equipment. Therefore', this item is closed.
4.
Unresolved Items Unresolved items were not identified during this inspection.

c.
(0 pen) Inspector Followup Item (302/80-40-02) - Licensee's Inspection and Evaluation of Fire Damper Installation: On October 19-23, 1981 the licensee conducted an inspection of all fire damper installations and found a number of discrepancies.
Work request Nos. 28640, 28641, 28642, 28643, 28788, 28789 and 28790 have been issued to make the necessary repairs.
The principle discrepancies include improper mounting or attachment of the damper to the duct, inadequate sealing of area between duct and fire barrier and installation of electrical damper activators in such a manner as to possibily 'interfer with the automatic closure of the dampers. This item is to remain open pending completion of the required repairs and modifications.
d.
(Closed) Inspector Followup Item (302/80-40-03) - Fire Protection Administration Procedures Do Not Meet the NRC Guidelines: The licensee has developed fire fighting strategies for all hazardous and safety related areas of the plant but has not provided a procedure to imple-ment these fire fighting strategies. However, refer to paragraph 7.a below.
Procedure EM-101 has been revised to include "No Smoking" restrictions. The licensee has elected not to revise Procedure CP-118, Fire Prevention Work Permit Procedure, to extend the hazard from welding and cutting operations from a distance of 20-25 feet to 35 feet as listed in the NRC guidelines and NFPA criteria.
In view of.the licensee's fire watch training program and apparent good control over these hazards the procedures are considered to meet the intent of the NRC guidelines. This item is closed.
6.
Fire Protection Modifications a.
Reactor Building Standpipe System (MAR 79-11-11B): A fire hose stand-pipe system is being installed in the reactor building. This installa-tion was approximately 90% complete. The QC group is inspecting weld je4nts and the seismic hangers.
Test procedures were being prepared for hydrostatic and flushing tests of the system. The inspector toured the containment and noted that the design and installation of this system appears to meet the commitments of NRC by FPC's letter (File Code 3-03-a-3) of January 8,1979. Fire hose is not to be provided for the hose connections within containment.
However, hose is to be provided adjacent to the personnel entrance to the containment.
b.
Fire Detection System (MAR 80-09-04): A fire detection system is being installed _over the reactor coolant pumps, over some cable trays in the reactor building and in portions of the auxiliary and intermediate
!
buildings.
The inspector conducted a walk through inspections of the installation and reviewed QC inspection report QCIR 81-107. It i

Fire Protection / Prevention Administrative Procedures:
The licensee's fire protection / prevention procedures were previously reviewed by the inspector and as documented in Report No. 50-302/80-40 found to comply with the NRC guidelines except for the following three areas:
fire fighting strategies, smoking restrictions and welding, cutting and grinding operations. As noted in above paragraph 5.d the licensee has taken the appropriate action to correct these discrepancies. However, the licensee had not initiated a procedure to implement the administra-tion of the fire fighting strategies. The licensee committed during this inspection to develop an administrative procedure for these strategies to include a requirement for maintaining the document up to date, and identifying the distribution of the strategies. This item is identified as Inspection Followup Item (302/81-25-01), Implementation of an administrative procedure for the fire fighting strategies, and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.
b.
Fire Brigade (1) Organization The plant fire brigade is composed of personnel from Operations, Chem Rad and Maintenance (Building Service) Departments.

Plant Tour A tour of the plant was made by the inspector. This tour was made to review the fire protection modifications of the detection system and reactor building standpipe system and to review the general fire prevention features provided for the plant. As a whole, the licensee was adhering to the administrative - procedures for the control. of combustibles, flammable,'and combustible liquids and gases and open flame ignition sources.
Fire hydrant equipment hou:,e No. 2 was inspected and the required equipment was provided and properly stored.
However, the fire doors (Door A-202) between the hot machine shop and 119 foot elevation of the auxiliary building were found wedged-and blocked in the open position on January 17, 1981. These doors were not arranged to be automatically self closing and latching due to inopera-tive door closers and latching handware and a fire watch was not posted.
Technical Specification Section 3.7.12 requires all fire-barriers protecting safety related areas to be functional at all' times.
If the penetration fire barriers become non-functional a continuous fire watch is required to be established on at least one side of the affected penetration within'one hour.
The failure to provide a fire watch for the non-functional fire barrier is identified as Violation Item (302/81-25-02), Nonfunctional Fire Barrier Between Hot Machine.
Shop and Auxiliary Building.
A similar item involving one of the emergency diesel generator doors was previously identified by NRC Report 81-21.
With the areas examined, except as noted above, no additional viola-tions or deviations were identifed.
