2.0 Fire Protection / Prevention Program (64704)'
The inspector reviewed several documents in the following areas of the program to verify that the licensee had developed and implemented adequate procedures consistent with the Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA), Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR),. and Technical Specifications (TS). The documents reviewed, the scope of the review, and the inspection findings for each area of the program are described in the following sections.
2.1 Program Administration and Controls for Ignition Sources and Combustible Materials
.
The inspector reviewed the procedures in Attachment I to verify that the Fire Protection Program, as described in the FSAR and other licensing documents, is properly implemented.
The scope of the review was-to ascertain that:
Personnel were designated for implementing the program at the
site; Qualifications were delineated for personnel designated to
implement the program; Special authorization is required for the use of combustible,
flammable or explosive hazardous material in safety related areas;

--
Prohibition on the storage of combustible, flammable or
explosive hazardous material in safety-related areas;
-,
The removal of all waste, debris, rags, oil-spills or other
combustible materials resulting from the work activity or at the end of each work shif t, whichever is sooner;
Periodic inspection for accumulation of combustibles;
Transient combustibles to be restricted and controlled in
safety-related areas; Housekeeping to be properly maintained in areas containing
safety-related equipment and components; Requirements for special authoriration (work permit) for
activities involving welding,' cutting, grinding, open flame or other ignition sources and that they are properly safeguarded in areas containing safety-related equipment and components; Prohibition on smoking in safety-related areas, except where
" smoking permitted" areas had been specifically designated by plant management; Work authorization, construction permit or similar arrangement
is provided for review and approval of modification, construction and maintenance activities which could adversly affect the safety of the facility;_
Fire brigade instructions for general plant personnel are developed;
Periodic audits are to be conducted on the entire _ fire protection
program; and
.
l Fire protection / prevention program is included in-the licensee's
QA Program.
The review and-inspection determined that the licensee has developed technically adequate procedures for fire protection program administration and administrative controls for combustible materials and ignition sources.
No unacceptable conditions were identified.
2.2 Equipment Maintenance, Inspection and Tests-The inspector reviewed surveillance and testing procedures to determine whether the licensee had developed adequate procedures which established maintenance, inspection, and testing requirements for the plant fire protection equipment.
The inspector also reviewed the surveillance and preventive maintenance test records to l
'
.-.

.
,
.
verify compliance with the technical specifications and established procedures.
The inspector noted that the procedures lacked the necessary details for recording test data and clear test acceptance criteria.
The licensee stated that all fire protection procedures are -
being reviewed and revised under the procedure enhancement program
,
and the necessary details will be added to the new revisions of the
'
procedures.
No other deficient conditions were identified.
2.3 Fire Brigade Training i
2.3.1 procedure Review
,
The inspector reviewed the Fire Brigade Training Program to verify that this program includes:
e a.
Requirements for announced and unannounced drills; b,
Requirements for fire brigade training and retraining at
'
prescribed frequencies; c.
Requirements for at least one drill per year to be performed on backshift for each brigade; d.
Requirements for maintenance training records; and Requirements for a minimum of 2 drills for each brigade e.
member per year.
I-
!
The inspector concluded that the above' requirements are adequately addressed in licensee's procedures CCI-133 and 622-A.
>
No unacceptable conditions were identified.
2.3.2 Records Review The inspector reviewed training records of fire brigade members for 1989 to verify that they had attended the required i
l quarterly training, participated in a quarterly drill, and l
yearly hands-on training on-fire extinguishing practice.
l The review and inspection determined that all fire brigade l
members are receiving the required training per licensee's fire l
protection program plan and no unacceptable conditions were
'
identified.
2.4 Periodic Inspections and Quality Assurance Audits The licensee is required by their technical specification to perform
.
three types of_ audits of the Fire Protection Program.

.
One audit every 24 months is required per T.S.6.5.2.8.1.h and one audit every 12 months is required er T.3.6.5.2.8.7.1.
In addition, T.S.6.5.2.8.1.j reouires that the program be audited by an outside consultant every 36 months. Guidance for the performance of these audits was issued to all licensee'c in Generic Letter 82-23. The licensee's OA auditors review the Fire Prctection Program annually and incorporate the requirements cf the annual and bienr.ial audits into a single audit. The inspector rnviewed audit No. 89-13 and found it acceptable.
During a previous NRC inspection, the inspector raised a concern regarding triennial auditt being conducted by the licensee's insurer (Americian Nuclear Insurers). The audit report stated that although elements of regulatory importance were examined by the auditors, the audit was performed for insurance purposes. The licensee, stated that the next triennial audit of Fire Protection Program, scheduled in August 1990, will explicitly address the Technical Specification requirements.
3.0 Facility Tour The inspector examined fire protection water systems, including fire pumps, fire water piping and distribution systems, post indicator valves, hydrants and contents of hose houses.
The inspector toured accessible vital and non vital plant areas and examined fire detection and alarm systems, automatic and manual fixed suppression systems, interior hose stations, fire barrier penetration seals, and fire doors.
The inspector observed general plant housekeeping conditions and randomly checked tags of portable extinguishers for evidence of periodic inspections.
No deterioration of equipment was noted.
The inspection tags attached to extinguishers indicated that nionthly inspections were performed.
During the walkdown, the inspector noted that the penetration seal on the floor near the roll-up "pe fire door No. 435, at 45 feet elevation of the switchgear room at Unit 2 was not sealed properly. The licensee took prompt action by temporarily sealing the penetration with fire proof material and a maintenance work request No. 42557 was issued to
,
'
permanently resolve this disciept.ncy.
No other unacceptable ;onditions were identified.
4.0 Review of Licenset Special and Events Reports The inspector reviewed the following Special Reports and License Event Reports (LERs) submitted to the NRC by the licensee, in accordance with Technical Specification 3.7.12.a and 10 CFR 50.73.
1.
Special report dated September 5,1989 regarding an it. operable fire damner in the Unit 1 electrical room supply duct,

2.
Special report dated September 5, 1989 regarding an inoperable fire damper in the Unit I availability building.
3.
LER 89-10, regarding missed fire protection surveillance for penetration fire barriers in Unit 2.
LER 89-11, regarding a missing fire protection damper in Unit I spent fuel pool ventilation system.
5.
LER 89-12, rege.rding an inoperable switchgear room halon system due to lack of procedures for disabling master solenoids.
The purpose of this review was to verify that the corrective actions, as documented 'n the reports, were adequate and were implemented in a timely manner.
No unacceptable conditions were identified.
5.0 Review of Previous NRC Inspection Report Concerns During a previous NRC inspection, Report Nos. 50-317/88-06 ar.d 50-318/88-07, the inspector raised a concern about the lack of a knowledge-able fire protection person to handle all aspects of the Fire Protection Program.
Licensee m m gement acknowledged the concern and assigned a full-time Fire Prote:u in Specialist.
Anothar concern was the weaknesses in the control of the combustible material program and housekeeping.
In addition to the Fire Protection Plan, CCI-133J the licensee now has an administrative procedure, CCI410 to improve the material control program.
The licensee stated that the housekeeping and combustible control practices are strictly enforced.
During the field walkdown, no unacceptable conditions were noted in these areas.
