SUMMARY

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) continued monitoring the licensees performance by conducting a fire protection team inspection at Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, in accordance with the Reactor Oversight Process. The Reactor Oversight Process is the NRCs program for overseeing the safe operation of commercial nuclear power reactors. Refer to https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/oversight.html for more information.

List of Findings and Violations

No findings or violations of more than minor significance were identified.

Additional Tracking Items

None.

INSPECTION SCOPES

Inspections were conducted using the appropriate portions of the inspection procedures (IPs) in effect at the beginning of the inspection unless otherwise noted. Currently approved IPs with their attached revision histories are located on the public website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/insp-manual/inspection-procedure/index.html. Samples were declared complete when the IP requirements most appropriate to the inspection activity were met consistent with Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 2515, Light-Water Reactor Inspection Program - Operations Phase. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel to assess licensee performance and compliance with Commission rules and regulations, license conditions, site procedures, and standards.

REACTOR SAFETY

71111.21N.05 - Fire Protection Team Inspection (FPTI) Structures, Systems, and Components Credited for Fire Prevention, Detection, Suppression, or Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Review (IP Section 03.01)

The inspectors verified that components and/or systems will function as required to support the credited functions stated for each sample. Additional inspection considerations are located in the fire hazards analysis (FHA) or safe shutdown analysis (SSA).

(1) Fire Barrier System (NDAP-QA-0446)

(2) Fire Detection/Alarm System

(3) Emergency Service Water and Residual Heat Removal Service Water System

(4) Core Spray System

Fire Protection Program Administrative Controls (IP Section 03.02) (2 Samples)

The inspectors verified that the selected control or process is implemented in accordance with the licensees current licensing basis. If applicable, ensure that the licensees FPP contains adequate procedures to implement the selected administrative control. Verify that the selected administrative control meets the requirements of all committed industry standards.

(1) Control of Ignition Sources, and Hot Work permits (NDAP-QA-0442)

(2) Aging Management Program (10CFR54) as it Relates to Fire Protection Components

Fire Protection Program Changes/Modifications (IP Section 03.03) (2 Samples)

The inspectors verified the following:

a. Changes to the approved fire protection program (FPP) do not constitute an adverse effect on the ability to safely shutdown.

b. The adequacy of the design modification, if applicable.

c. Assumptions and performance capability stated in the SSA have not been degraded through changes or modifications.

d. The FPP documents, such as the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, fire protection report, FHA, and SSA were updated consistent with the FPP or design change.

e. Post-fire safe shutdown operating procedures, such as abnormal operating procedures, affected by the modification were updated.

(1) EC-2352782, Replace Heat Detectors

(2) 86-10 Fire Hazards Analysis for Diesel Driven Fire Pump Room Fire Barrier Gap (CR 2020-13254).

INSPECTION RESULTS

No findings were identified.

EXIT MEETINGS AND DEBRIEFS

The inspectors verified no proprietary information was retained or documented in this report.

• On November 16, 2023, the inspectors presented the fire protection team inspection results to Mark Jones, Acting Site Vice President, and other members of the licensee staff.
