Based on this review, it appears that the above procedures, except for AP 0010434 and AP 1800022, meet the NRC guidelines of the document entitled
"Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Functional Responsibilities, Administrative Controls, and guality Assurance" dated June 1977 and the licensee's commitments in the letter to the NRC dated March 31, 1977 AP 0010434, Section 8.2, Control of Combustibles and Section 8.6, Handling of Combustible and Flammable Liquids, appear to adequately address the control of transient combustibles and the handling of combustible and flammable liquids in safe shutdown related ar eas, of the plant.
However, this procedure does not set limits with regards~to the maximum quantity of combustible materials which can be stored
~'~in a
plant area important to safe shutdown.
In addition, this procedure does not establish the maximum quantity of flammable or combustible liquids allowed in those plant areas which contain safe shutdown systems during the various modes of power operations.
This i'is identified as Inspector Followup Item (335, 389/85-33-01),
Failure to provide sufficient guidance regarding the maximum quantities
) of combustible materials and flammable and combustible liquids allowed in safe shutdown related plant areas.
Procedure AP 1800022 presently does not address the current s,ite management organization or the responsibilities of the site Vice President, Services Manager, Fire Protection Coordinator and the Fire Protection Inspector with regard to the implementation of the site fire protection program.
This is identified as Inspector Followup iItem (335, 389/85-33-02),
The overall site fire protection program implementation responsibilities and organization are not properly identified in AP 1800022.

In addition, these procedures were reviewed
', to determine if the inspection and test instructions followed General Industry Fire Protection Practices, NRC Fire Protection Program Guidelines and the Guidelines of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Fire Codes.
Based on this review, it appear's that the above procedures are satisfactory except for Section 8.3 of Procedure OP 1800053.
Section 8.3 of OP 1800053 specifies the requirements of the 18 month fire protection system functional fire pump test; however, this test does not follow the testing guidance provided in NFPA Standard-20, Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps.
The present acceptance criteria only records the 1005 flow rate capacity of the pump and the discharge pressure and does not denote the motor performance characteristics.
In addition, the 18 month fire pump test does not test peak load (1504 capacity)
conditions.
Therefore, the test procedure does not utilize the NFPA pump test data (discharge fl'ow and pressure, motor speed, etc.) for comparison to the established
'pump acceptance curve.
Thus, the true performance of the pump is,not specifically determined by the subject test procedure.
The licensee recognizes the inspector's concerns and committed to revise the procedure appropriately.
This is identified as Inspector Followup Item (335, 389/85-33-03),
Eighteen Nonth fire pump surveillance not being conducted following the guidance of NFPA-20, and wil,l be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.
In addition, the inspector reviewed the following proposed fire protection surveillance procedures:
NP 1-M-0018 -PM-218 Fire Damper Surveillance - 18 Months MP 1-M-0018 -PM-271 Fire Door Surveillance - Semi-Annual Cable Spreading Room Halon System Monthly Surveillance MP 1-M-0018 -PN-277 Cable Spreading Room Halon System Semi-Annual Surveillance

The above procedures outline the surveillance test requirements associated with Unit 1 Appendix R fire protection modifications.
The surveillance requirements associated with these procedures will be fully implemented on Unit 1 upon completion of the current outage and startup of the unit.
Based on a limited review, these procedures appear to 4e satisfactory with regard to meeting the licensee's proposed fire protection Technical Specification changes and NRC fire protection guidelines except for PM-277.
The inspector identified that additional guidance is needed with regard to voltage testing of the circuits associated with the fire damper electro-thermal-links.'he licensee indicated that they would incorporate the inspector's concern into the surveillance procedure.

Fire Brigade (1)
Organization The fire brigade is composed of approximately 55 personnel',! from the Operations staff.
The brigade leader is normally the Watch Engineer and the remaining fire brigade is composed of Operators.
The inspector reviewed the
"On Shift Duty Roster" for the follow-ing dates and verified that sufficient qualified fire brigade personnel were on duty to meet the provisions of Technical Specification 6.2.2:
December 9,
1985 December 10, 1985 December 11, 1985 In addition, the inspector verified that sufficient personnel were assigned to each shift to meet the minimum operating and fire brigade staff requirements of the Technical Specifications.
Therefore it appears, based on the review of the duty rosters associated with the above dates, that there was sufficie'nt manpower on duty to meet both the operational and the fire brigade requirements of the plant's Technical Specification C A

Training The inspector reviewed the training and drill records for'two brigade leaders and four brigade members for 1985.
The records reviewed indicated that each of these leaders and members~
had received an annual medical review, attended the required tr'aining and participated in the required number of drills.
The inspector also verified that a fire brigade drill had been conducted each quarter of 1985 for each shift.
The fire br~igade training records which were inspected were found satisfactory.
Fire Brigade Equipment The inspector performed an inspection of the Fire Brigade Equip-ment, consisting of fire hose, nozzles, tools, and miscellaneous equipment which is stored at the fire brigade equipment response locations located in the yard fire house and the turbine building on 19.5 elevation.
A total of 14 sets of turnout gear (coats, boots, helmets, ~etc.)
re stored and seven sets of self-contained breathing apparatus a
at the above fire brigade equipment response locations.
t, t
Based on this inspection, the designated fire brigade equipment stored at the fire brigade equipment response locations appeared to be properly maintained and stored in a ready condition.
Fire Brigade Drill During this inspection, the inspector witnessed an unannounced fire brigade drill.
The drill fire scenario was a fire in the intake cooling water pump house.
The drill fire condition was caused by a
pump motor lube oil leak.
Seven fire brigade members responded to the pending fire emergency.
The brigade assembled outside the intake structure in full protective fire fighting turnout clothing and self contained breathing apparatus.
An initial size-up of the fire condition was made by the fire brigade leader and one lk inch fire attack hose line with foam capabilities was advanced into the pump room and two additional lk inch fire hose lines were positioned by th'e fire brigade to protect exposed equipment.
The fire attack hose'ine was placed in service on the fire and the fire was placed under control by the fire brigade in 17 minutes.
In addition, the fire brigade initiated fire victim search and rescue, smoke control, and water control operations.
The fire brigade utilized proper manual fire fighting methods and reacted to the fire drill scenario in an effective and efficient manne, It I'

Plant Tour A plant tour was made by the inspector.
During the plant tour the following Unit
safe shutdown related plant areas and their related fire protection features were inspected:
-0.50 ft. Elevation, Reactor Auxiliary Building 19.5 ft. Elevation, Reactor Auxiliary Building
- Cable Spreading Room
- Switchgear Room "A" Train
- Switchgear Room "B" Train
- Battery Room "A" Train
- Battery Room "B" Train Diesel Generator Building The inspector visually inspected the fire/smoke detection capabilities, the manual fire fighting equipment (i.e., portable extinguishers, hose stations, etc.)
and the fire barrier walls associated with the above plant areas.
In addition, the inspector visually inspected the Halon protection associated with cable spreading room and the sprinkler system in the diesel generator rooms.
Based on the visual inspection, it appears that the fire protection features associated with the above plant areas were properly maintained and fully functional except for fire doors RA 316, RA 318, and the rolling fire door between Trains "A" and "B" switchgear rooms.
The above fire doors were installed during the current outage and are required to comply with the technical requirements of Appendix R,Section III.G.
The inspector identified that,ithe rolling fire door on elevation 43.0 ft. separating Trains "A" and
"B" switchgear rooms was not properly installed.
An approximate lk inch open gap was present at the bottom of the door guide rail located on the south edge and 4 inch gap on the north edge door.
The licensee took prompt corrective action and extended the door guide rails to the floor.
The inspector also identified on elevation 14.5 ft. of the Reactor Auxiliary Building that Fire Door RA 316 was missing a hinge screw from the top hinge and the door frame was not properly sealed into the three-hour fire barrier wall separating Fire Area
"A" 'from Fire Area "C".
In addition, the inspector identified that'he door frame for Fire Door RA 318 on Reactor Auxiliary Building Elevation 14.5 ft. was not properly sealed into the three-hour fire barrier wall separating Fire Area "A" and Fire Area "C" and
