Review of Surveillance Test and Maintenance Records Associated with
' Technical Specifications Requirements a.
Surveillance Tests
.
The inspector selected anc reviewed the following records to verify that the associated required Fire Protection Program
- surveillances had been performed and acceptance criteria had been met.
- 0ST 1.33.9, Carbon Dioxide Fire Protection System Inspection
-
Test, January 19, 1980; OST 1.33.2, Fire Protection System Hose Station Test, December
-
'2, 1980; OST 1.33.3, Fire Protection System Drain Test, Decemcer~14,
-
1980; OST 1.33.8, Diesel Engine Driven Fire Pump Operation Test,
-
December 29, 1930; OST 1.33.7, Motor Driven Fire Pump Operational-Test, November
-
3, 1980;
-
OST 1.33.12, Fire Pumps Flow Test, April 8, 1981.
The inspector reviewed licensee Event Report LER 80-069/0IT-2 and noted that the electric motor drive of the fire pump has failed three times since February 26, 1980.
The electric motor was repaired once on site and twice off site.
The latest repair was concluded by Westinghouse and the pump was re-installed at the site in April,1981.
The exact cause of the three failures has net been determined.
The licensee is performing a reliability study.
A fire pump-test in accordance with operating surveillance test OST 1.33.12 was conducted on April 8, 1981.
The fire pump was placed back in; service upon completion of_ the test.
The inspector reviewed the test results and found them inconclusive based on the following:
The test did not include flow data at 157% of pump capacity,
--
as required by Code No. 20 of the National Fire Protection Association.
.
...
.
The net head at flows of 2500 gpm, 3000 gpm and 3500 gpm,
--
stayed essentially flat at approximate 11y 100 psi.
This may be indicative that the relief valve was lifting below the assumed setting of 150 psi.
The test did not include current and voltage readings as
--
required by NFPA Code No. 20.
The licensee stated that a possible relief valve malfunrtion is being investigated. Also some of the above data is ava 1;ble from the insurance carrier, and will be forwarded to the NRC.
This item is considered unresolved pending NRC review and evaluation of additional test data. (81-11-01)
b.
