d.
Fire Protection Audit The most recent audit reports of the St. Lucie Fire Protection Program were reviewed.
These audits were:
QSL-87-099 QSL-OPS-89-648 QSL-OPS-88-582 Triennial Fire Protection (Factory Mutual) February 27, 1988 January 4 - February 22, 1989 March 16, 1988 These audits identified several fire protection program discrepancies and unresolved items and recommended several program improvements.
The licensee has either implemented the corrective actions associated with these audit findings or a scheduled date for completion of the corrective actions has been established.
The licensee appears to be taking the appropriate corrective actions on these audit finding Fire Brigade (1)
The total station fire brigade is composed of approximately
personnel from the operation staff.
The on duty shift fire brigade leader is normally the Nuclear Watch Engineer and the remaining four fire brigade members are composed of operators.
The inspector reviewed the on duty shifts for January 1 to February 5, 1990 and verified that sufficient personnel were assigned to each shift to meet the minimum operating shift of the Technical Specifications.
Therefore, it appears based on the review of the duty rosters associated with the above dates, that there was sufficient manpower on duty to meet both the operational and the fire brigade requirements of the plant's Technical Specifications.
In addition to the fire brigade members, the inspector verified that sufficient licensed operators were available to maintain minimum staffing in the control room in the event of a fire.
(2)
Training The inspector reviewed the training records for six brigade
"
leaders and 64 brigade members for 1988 and 1989.
The records reviewed indicated that each of these leaders and members had received an annual
'medical review, attended the required training and participated in the required number of drills.
The inspector also verified that a fire brigade drill had been conducted quarterly for each shift for 1989.
(3)
Fire Brigade Fire Fighting Strategies The inspector reviewed the following plant fire fighting strategies:
10
37 3U
43
49 Unit 1 Cable Spreading Room Unit
B Switchgear Room Unit 1 Diesel Generator 1A Room Unit 1 Diesel 1B Generator Room Unit 2 RAB Pipe Tunnel Unit 2 Charging Pump Cubicles Unit 2 Component Cooling Water Building Unit 2 Diesel Generator Building 2A Unit,2 Diesel Generator Building 2B Based on this review, the inspector determined that the above fire fighting strategies adequately addressed the fire hazards in the areas.

Fire Brigade Drill During this inspection the inspector witnessed an unannounced fire brigade drill.
The drill scenario was an electrical fire in the Unit 2 switchgear roo Thirteen fire brigade members responded to the pending emergency.
The brigade.
assembled outside the Unit 2 Turbine Switchgear room.
All of the bri.gade members except for the brigade leader were dressed out in full protective fire fighting turnout clothing and.self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
The brigade leader was dressed out in full protective clothing but did not have an SCB.
An initial size up of the condition was made by the fire brigade leader.
The brigade team used a lk inch fire attack line and CO extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
The fire was placed under control in 12 minutes.
The fire brigade utilized proper manual fire fighting methods and reacted to the drill scenario in an effective and efficient manner.
One concern was that the brigade leader entered the room without self contained breathing apparatus.
f.
Plant Tour and Inspection of Fire Protection Equipment The inspector verified that the two water storage tanks contained sufficient water to meet the requirements of the Technical Specifications.
The two fire pumps were inspected and found to be in service.
The following sectional control valves in the outside fire protection water supply were inspected and verified to be properly aligned and locked in position.
