Fire Protection / Prevention Program Administrative Procedures c.
The inspector reviewed the following licensee's fire protection (FP)
procedures:
(1)
FP-1, Plant Fire Brigades (Revision 3)
(2)
FP-2, Control of Combustible Materials & Ignition Sources (Revision 2)
(3)
FP-3, Reporting Deficiencies (4)
FP-4, Periodic Test Procedures (5)
FP-5, Welding and Burning Control (Revision 1)
(6)
FP-6, Storage and Use of Hazardous Materials (7) General Fire Plan (8) Fire Barrier Penetration Seal Work Controls
,
o
.
These procedures were found to comply with the NRC guidelines in the document entitled "l'uclear Plant Fire Protection Functional Responsi-bilities, Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance" dated June 14, 1977, except for those items previously identified by licensee's letter of September 20, 1977.
b.
Fire Brigade (1) Organization The plant fire brigade is composed of personnel from the Opera-tions, Chemistry and Fire Support Departments.
The inspector reviewed the Fire Brigade Personnel Roster and September 1981 shift schedule and noted that sufficient personnel should be on duty to meet the provisions of the Technical Specifications for fire brigade operations and for plant operation.
(2) Training ard Drills The inspector reviewed the training records for 11 shift foremer (fire team leaders) and 16 fire brigade members and found that six of tFe fire team leaders and four brigade. members had not completed the initial fire brigade training required by procedure FP-1, Plant Fire Brigades, Section I*I.B.
This item is identified as Violation Item (324/81-23-01 and 325/81-23-01), Inadequate fire brigade drills and training.
The records of plant fire brigade drills were not stored as training records nor as QA records.
However, the licensee was able to locate sufficient data to indicate the number and type of fire brigade drills conducted since 1978. These records indicated that in 1979 five drills were conducted.
Four of these were conducted during the second quarter and one dr ll was conducted in
-
the fourth quarter.
In 1980 a total of taur drills were con-ducted.
One drill was conducted during the first quarter and three drills wera conducted in the fourth quarter.
In 1981 the only drill conducted was held in conjunction with the recent site emergency drill.
The licensee's procedure FP-1, Plant Fire Brigade,Section III.C.1 states that drills will be conducted on a required basis, with a minimum of one drill to be conducted per quarter. The failure to conduct at least one fire brigade drill per quarter in 1979 through 1981 is identified as another example of Violation Item (324/81-23-01 and 324/81-23-01), Inadequate fire brigade drills and training.
The failure to properly maintain records of fire brigade drills is another example of Unresolved Item (324/80-10-04 and 325/80-11-04) as outlined in above Paragraph.

A sample of the records of the annual physical examinations for the brigade member required by FP-1 Section IV were reviewed and
>
'
found satisfactory. However, while reviewing these records it was noted that of the records for 10 shift formen (fire team leaders)
and 13 fire brigade members which were reviewed 5. of the shift foremen and 4 of the brigade members were not currently respirator qualified in accordance with the licensee's Radiation _ Control and Test Procedure RC&T-0220, Volume VIII.
This procedure requires all individuals who are required to use respiratory protection to be retrained annually which consists of an annual physical, classroom training and field testings. In general, the unquali-fied personnel had not received the classroom training or had not completed the field testing. This is identified as Violation Item (324/81-23-02 and 325/81-23-02). All personnel required to use respirator protection are not adequately trai';ed.
(3) Fire Brigade Equipment A sufficient quantity of turnout gear (coats, booths, helmets) is
'
provided to equip 14 fire brigade members. This gear is stored in the two fire equipment houses and adjacent to the control room.
Additional fire fighting equipment such as fire hose, nozzles,
,
i handlights, portable exhaust fans, radios and self contained breathing apparatus is also stored in the main fire equipment hosse. This et;uipment appeared to be adequately maintained.
Presently, the fire brigade is assigned 16 self contained _
breathing apparatus and 32 spare air cylinders. However, only.14 of the 32 spare cylinders were found to be serviceable. Eighteen cylinders were out of service due to minor maintenance discrepan-cies such as leaking valves and due to the lack of an up-to-date hydrostatic pressure test. CP&L's Fire Protection Program Review of January 1,1977,Section IV.C.3.d.4, and NRC's Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report (FPSER) of November 22, 1977, Sections 3.1.23 and 4.4.3, state that a total of 16 self contained breathing apparatus a,d 32 spare cylinders will be provided to support the manual fire fighting activities. Operating license for Units I and 2 Paragraphs 2.B(6) and 2.B(7), respectively,
,
state that the licensee is required to complete the modifications identified in Paragraphs 3.1.1' through 3.1.35 of NRC's FPSER prior to Units l's return to operation for Cycle 2 and prior to Units 2's return to operation for Cycle 3.
These dates were April 12, 1979 and May 15, 1979, respectiv'ely.
Although, the
~
licensee previously provided the required number of self contained breathing apparatus and spare cylinders, the failure to maintain the equipment in service is considered a failure to meet the stipulations of the license and is identified as Violation Item (324/81-23-03 and 325/81-23-03), Inadequate number of spare cylinders available for fire brigade self contained breathing apparatus, i

The licensee has the capability to refill the self contained breathing apparatus cyliners by means of an air compressor and cascade system. An additional cascade system is available in the Radiation Control Department for use if needed. Also, a total of 26 self contained breathing apparatus and 12 spare cylinders are available within the Radiation Control Decartment for use in the event of an emergency.

the diesel generator building were not completed prior to April 25, 1981.
This is identified as Violation Item (324/81-23-04 and 325/81-23-04), Inspection of fire barrier penetrations not completed within the time specified by the Technical Specifications.
The licensee was to include this item in LER 1-81-60.
d.
Plant Tour A tour of the plant was made by the inspector.
All of the fire protection systems required by the Technical Specification were inspected and verified to be in service. Hydrant hose house Nos. 9,10 and 14 were inspected. The equipment stored in these houses appeared adequate and well maintained.
In the service water building the inspector found portions of the fire / flame barriers removed from conventional service water pump 1A and nuclear service water pumps IB and 2A. These barriers are required by the licensee's Fire Protection Program Review of January 1, 1977 Section IV.C.2.C and by NRC's FPSER Sections 3.1.9 and 5.7.
The licensee stated that NRR had advised that these fire barriers were no longer required since an automatic sprinkler system had been installed above these pumps.
However, documentation could not be located to verify this position.
This item is identified as Unresolved Item (324/81-23-05 and 325/81-23-05), Fire / flame barrier requirements for service water pumps, and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.
Within the area inspected, except as noted above, no additional violations or deviations were identified.
6.
Fire Protection Modification Commitments - Redundant Cables The licensee has performed a detailed evaluation to determine where cabling from redundant safe shutdown divisions were routed in close proximity to each other and which could be involved in a single fire. This evaluation is included in report entitled " Analysis of Safe Shutdown Capability," Books 1 and 2 dated October 28, 1977.
This analysis also listed a number of modifications which were to be provided to correct situations where redundant cables could be involved ir. a single fire. The inspector reviewed the following modifications and found no discrepancies. The item numbers correspond to the item numbers in the analysis report ITEM NOS.
