Fire Barrier Penetration Modification By examination of specifications, purchase orders, drawings, maintenance
!
forms and quality assurance records, and by discussions with various licensee and contractor personnel, the inspector reviewed the licensee's implementation of the electrical (conduit) and pipe penetration modiff-

!
cation. The inspector verified that the modification is in accordance-with the requirements of the appropriate sections of Amendment No. 47 to Facility Operation License No. DPR-59.

The inspector observed quality control material density tests, ified and the placing of daming materials and silicone foam, and ver that the installation of pipe penetration seals is in accordance with applicable procedures.
No items of noncompliance were identified.
b.
Electrical Penetrations (Modification Nos. FI-80-07A and FI-80-07B)
Electrical Penetration seals of silicone foam and silicone elastomer are installed under the supervision and quality control review of the ifcensee.
The inspector reviewed the following procedures and documents associated with the electrical penetration modification:
Procedure for Opening and Sealing Electrical Conduit Sleeves,
--
Revision 5, June 23, 1980.
Specification NP-12, Daming Materials, January 2,1979.
--
Procedure for Control of Maintenance, No.10.1.1, Rev. 2 July 1979
--
The licensee initiated the modification by issuing a maintenance work request, WRED No. 6979 dated May 20, 1980, and subsequently issuing Work Tracking Form 6079A dated June 27, 1980 and Work
,
Tracking Form 6079B dated June 27, 1980 for sealing penetrations in the Control Room and the Relay Room.
The Work Tracking Forms I
expired with the completion of the 1980 refueling outage.
.
.
'
.
.
.
'
The licensee also issued Work Tracking From 6079C dated September
.
5 1980 for sealing electrical penetrations in all plant areas with a single limitation which stated, that no secondary containment per:Jtrations to be opened.
Technical Specification 6.8 states:
" Written procedures...shall be established, implemented and maintained for the Fire Protection Program. "
Licensee's Procedure No.10.1.1, Procedure for Control of Maintenance, Revision 2, July 19179, Section 7.2, states:
"The Work Tracking Form...shall be issued...to properly... track, centrol and document corrective maintenance for Category 1, Safety Related or QC inspection required work."
The Licensee's Work Request Event Deficiency (WRED) No. 6979 issued May 20, 1980 identifies the Electrical Cable Penetretion Modification FI-80-07A as Category 1, Safety Related and QC
inspection required.
Contrary to the above, electrical penetrations were opened and sealed outside the areas specified in the work tracking forms including secondary containment seals, several of which were opened on September 8, 1980, after the issuance of restrictions (WTF 6079C) on violating secondary containment integrity. This is an infraction level item of noncompliance. (333/80-17-01).
The opening of penetrations through the secondary containment while the facility is in the power generation mode, appears to be inadequately controlled by the licensee. Thus, the licensee's ability to maintain the requirec' O.25 inch water column inside the secondary containment is also questionable.
This was brought to the attentien of the licensee. At the exit interview, the licensee stated that the 0.25 inch water column can be maintained in the secondary containment if the number of simultaneously opened penetrations is controlled.
However, penetration seals
,
j through the secondary containment will not be opened before the
!
licensee can demonstrate that the integrity of the secondary l
containment can be maintained.
This item is considered unresolved, l
pending NRC review of the licensee's planned method of control of opening l
these penetrations.
(333/80-17-02).

Quality Control The inspector reviewed the following documents:

--
2.1, List of Non Safety Related Structures, Systems and Com-ponents - Fire Protection.
By review of quality control form TS-QA-5C the inspector noted that two column headings have been altered to allow the QC personnel to inspect only a percentage of the penetrations prepared for sealing.
Technical Specification 6.8 states:
" Written procedures...shall be established, implemented and maintained for the Fire Protection Program."
Licensee's Maintenance Procedure No. 57.5, " Procedure for Opening and Sealing Electrical Conduit Sleeves", Revision 5, June 23, 1980 paragraph 8.1, states:
"In progress inspection will be conducted in accordance with Tech-Sil Quality Control Manual (NP 12-0-101)...".
Tech-Sil Quality Control Manual NP 12-0-101, Section 210, para-graph 1.4, states:
" Record dam approval on Fom TS-QA-5C for each penetration filled (where dams are to remain in place) all penetrations above 4 inches."
Contrary to the above, based on the review of documents and dis-cussions with the GC inspector, it appears that not all penetra-tions requiring permanent damming are inspected and the results recorded on Form TS-QA-5C. This is an infraction level item of noncompliance. (333/80-17-03).

Facility Tour a.
Observation of Critical Fire Areas The inspector conducted a tour of accessible vital areas of the facility including the control room, relay room, cable tunnels, and cable spreading room. During the tour the inspector found the fire door (DG 256) separating the East and West Cable Tunnels and the fire door separating the West Cable Tunnel from the Electric Fire Pump Rocm blocked open. The inspector interviewed workm n in the area and verified that a fire watch was not stationed.
The licensee was unaware of the position of the fire doors prior to being notified by the NRC Inspecto _

Technical Specification 3.12.F. paragraph a,"~s'tates: "The fire barrier penetration seals shall be functional for each protected area..."
Technical Specification 3.12.F. paragraph b, states:
"Within one hour that any of the fire barrier penetrations seals for any protected area is found or made nonfunctional a continuous fire watch shall be established on one side of the fire barrier."
Contrary to the above, the fire door between the East and West Cable Tunnel and the fire door between the West Cable Tunnel and Electric Fire Pump Room were found open and unattended on September 9, 1980 without adequate measures either established or implemented to ensure that a fire watch was in effect. This is an infraction level item of noncompliance.
(333/80-17-04)
b.
Control of Combustibles / Housekeeping The inspector observed accumulation of combustible materials in
.
the form of plastic rolls, and collected combustible debris in plastic bags kept within and beneath electrical cable trays in the cable spreading room.
The inspector reviewed Amendment No. 47 to Facility Operating License No. OPR-59.
In Section 6 of the document. Administrative Controls, the licensee cannitted to amend the existing fire protec-tion administrative program to conform to recommendations presented in the NRC's guidance document, " Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Fcnctional Responsibilities, Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance", including controls over combustibles.
The inspector reviewed the licensee procedures:
Housekeeping and Cleanliness Control, No. 10.1.7, May 5,
--
1980, Control of Combustibles and Flammable Material, No.10.1.10,
--
December 19, 1979, and identified that the following NRC guidelines were not incor-
,
parated in the licensee's procedures:
the removal of all waste, debris, scraps, rags, oil spills,
--
or other combustibles resulting from the work activity in the area following completion of the activity or at the end of each work shift, whichever is sooner, periodic inspection for accumulation of combustibles.

The failure to incorporate those additional guidelines into implementing instructions / procedures is considered to be a deviation from the licensee's comitment to the NRC in Amendment No. 47.
(333/80-17-05)
4.
Unresolved Items An unresolved item is a matter about which more information is required in order to determine'whether it is an acceptable item, an item of noncompliance, or a deviation. An unresolved item disclosed during the inspection is discussed in paragraph 2b.
5.
Exit Interview
!
The inspector met with the licensee representatives (denoted in Details Paragraph 1) at the site on September 11, 1980, and summarized the purpose and scope of the inspection and findings.
