Attachment:
1)
Plans and Schedules for the Resolution of Open Items Associated with Inspection No.
85-20 (Fire Protection)
Dear Sir:
In a
REGION I INSPECTION REPORT NUMBER 50-333/85-20
.
Power cable No. 1H0EBBH001 associated with the B train was located in the same fire area with cables associated with train A in the west tunnel.
Also, conduits No. ICC208NA6, ICC230RDI, ICC767NQ and ICK025F associated with train A were located in the East tunnel with conduits associated with train B.
RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION i
The Power Authority agrees trith these findings.-
i IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Fire watches in the Cable Spreading Room and Relay Room, and in the East and West Cable tunnels were established as an interim compensatory measure.
These watches will remain active until these violations are resolved and compliance with Section III G.2 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 is assured.
A fire watch had been established in the East and West Cable Tunnels shortly after the inadequacy of the cable separation was identified during our third party fire protection
'
review.
The Authority voluntarily identified this lack of adequate cable separation and the presence of the fire watches to the inspection team.
l-PERMANENT CORRECTIVE ACTION:
Spare conduit penetrations in the fire-rated barriers of the Control Room, Cable Spreading Room, and Relay Room will be sealed using a seal with a fire rating of not less than
'*
l-three hours.
The redundant cables and conduits in the East and West Cable Tunnels will be " wrapped" with a fire retardant material using a configuration that will result in a fire rating of
-
not less than one hour.

INSPECTION NO. 85-20 (FIRE PROTECTION)
(Cont'd)
ITEM NO. 50-333/85-20-04, FUNCTIONAL TESTING OF FIRE DAMPERS As described in Section 7.1 of the inspection report, the Author-ity functionally tested all the fire dampers manufactured by the Ruskin Corporation during the inspection.
The single damper which failed this test will be modified by the addition of a closure spring per manufacturers instructions by January 1, 1986.
Since the inspection, all fire dampers were tested under ventila-tion flow conditions.
One other damper was identified during this testing which could not close against air flow.
The Authority is investigating modifications to this damper.
Interim compensatory fire protection measures have been employed for these dampers.
Action on this item will be completed by March 1, 1986.
The Authority has implemented a revised program to functionally test fire dampers with air flow once each operating cycle (which is approximately once every 18 months).
ITEM NO. 50-333/85-20-05, EXEMPTION REQUEST TO ALLOW TEMPORARY CORE UNCOVEKY (
This item remains unresolved pending NRC evaluation of June 14, 1985 exemption request.
Details of the analysis are being provided by the Authority to assist the NRC staff in their review.
ITEM NO. 50-333/85-20-06, DIFFICULT ACCESS OF FUSE BOX FOR FUSE REPLAGEnr.n The Authority has completed a review of each of the electrical panels where fuse replacement may be required during an emer-
-
gency.
To assure that personnel will be able to reach these fuses, ladders will be stored permanently near those locations
.
where it may be necessary to change the fuse (s).
A procurement
'~
order for these ladders has been placed, and the ladders will be in-place on or before October 31, 1985.
This date reflects an extension of the schedule provided verbally to the inspection
,
}.
team leader.
Lp The Authority has also re-examined the equipment box (holding
[,
spare fuses, ear phones, fuse uller, etc.) located near Auxiliary Shutdown Panel 25 AS-2.
Rather than installing a L(
second duplicate % x to su y redundant equ puent, a shelf has been constructed and insta d around the'ex sting box.
