Licensee Actions on Previous Inspection Findings a.
(Open) Unresolved Item (50-373/78-26-12): Fire Fighting Strategies (Pre-Plans).
The inspector reviewed the applicant's fire fighting strategies which were in the final stages of completion. The content of-the strategies is not consistent with the recommendations in the NRC guidance document, " Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Func-tional Responsibilities, Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance," or_the requirements in Section III.K.12 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, " Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operation Prior to January.1, 1979" as required in-Paragraph 2.C.(27) of the proposed operating license. The applicant will submit a request and justification for exemption from these requirements to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regula-tion.
When the strategies are completed, the applicant has agreed to place them at the Shift Engineer's Office and at each of the fire brigade equipment cages. The Shift Engineer's copy will remain in the control room area while the copies at the equip-ment cages will be arranged such that they will be brought to
~ he fire scene. Additional copies should be located in the t
Fire Marshall's office and in the training department for use in training and drills.
This item will remain open pending finalization of the strategies consistent with the proposed licensee requirements, placement of the stratagies in the proposed locations and training of the fire-2-

(Open) Unresolved Item (50-373/80-55-01): Fire Protection and Prevention Administrative Controls.
(1) The inspector reviewed the applicant's administrative controls and found that the listed changes must be made to the following procedures to satisfy the fire protection program requirements:
(a) LAP 900-14 Fire Protection Program 1.
Fire Brigade Training - This section will be upgraded to include a requirement that each fire brigade member attend annual hands-on live-fire practice sessions designed to provide training in utilization of the plant fire protection equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus in fighting fires similar in nature and complexity to those which could occur at the plant.
Additionally, each fire brigade member will attend smokehouse training every two years to simulate use of self-contained breathing apparatus in a fire environment.
All fire brigade training will be completed prior to fuel load.
2.
Fire Brigade Qualifications - This section will-reflect the above mentioned changes in the fire brigade training requirements.
3.
Off Site Fire Department - This section will be modified to require that training be provided to the Off Site Fire Department on an annual basis in radiation safety, plant layout and operation, and security and fire protection systems and equipment.
4.
Penetration Fire Barriers Fire doors will be added to the list of penetration fire barriers.
5.
Contractor Training - Administrative controls of combustible and flammable material and ignition source use will be included in the contractor indoctrination training.

.
.
(b) LAP 900-15 Housekeeping A requirement for weekly fire hazard inspections of all safety related areas and areas presenting a hazard to safety related equipment and cabling will be included in this procedure.
(c) LAP 900-10 Fire Prevention for Welding and Cutting 1.
This procedure will be upgraded to include controls over flammable gasses, prohibiting their storage in safety related areas and areas presenting a hazard to safety related equipment or cabling, and controls over weld rod ovens to protect safety related equipment and cabling from damage.
2.
The effective time period for Cutting and Welding Permits will be limited to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and permits for ignition source work in the Control Room, Cable Spreading Room and Auxiliary Electric Equip-ment Room will require Shift Engineer approval before work may begin.
(d) LAP 900-17 Fire Drills 1.
The frequency of fire drills will be increased to provide drills at regular intervals not to exceed three months for each shift fire brigade.
At least one drill per year for each shift fire brigade will be on a shift other than normal day shift. Each fire brigade member should participate in each drill, but must participate in at least two drills per year.
2.
The fire fighting strategies will be utilized and reviewed during fire drills.
3.
Fire drills will be critiqued on a three year interval by qualified individuals independent of Commonwealth Edison Coapany staff.
(2) The inspector reviewed the fire protection training lesson plans for general employees, contractors and fire brigade members. One apparent deficiency was in Lesson Plan 4-LPAR NGET/ Annual Retraining - Safety. This lesson plan will be upgraded to include training in station operating administrative controls of combustible and flammable materials and ignition and heat sources.
