  -personnel from;the Jsecurity and- operations staff. ~ The?on-duty -

shift fire brigade: leader is normally- one of the: assistant shift supervisors and- the - remaining four : fire ? brigade members : are -

composed'~of security personnel. The inspector verified that

  - sufficient personnel were assigned ' to = each : shift' to meet L the -
  . minimum ' operating ~ and fire brigade . staff requirements _ -of the~
  . Technical Specifications.- Therefore, -it appears - that there = is-sufficient manpower on duty .to~ meet both the operational and the fire brigade requirements of the plant's Technical Specifications; 1-  (2)-Training The "insp~ector reviewed the training and drill records for four; brigade leaders and -eight brigade members for the first three quarters - of 1986. The records reviewed indicate- that Jeach of -

these leaders' end 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 every 92 days for each shift for 1985 and-1986. The fire brigade training records which were inspected were found. satisfactory, ~ except the medical records for four of the eight brigade members' did not indicate that these members.were medically, qualified for fire brigade duty. However, the licensee stated that the medical review'these people received was equal to or exceeded the medical requirements for fire brigade duty. To assure that all fire brigade members meet the fire brigade medical qualification requirements, the licensee is to:

These cover all. safety-related areas and high hazard areas'of nonsafety-related-areas - that present- an exposure hazard to' safety-related plant area Based on this review, the inspector determined that the above fire fighting' strategies adequately addressed the fire hazards-in the area, the_ type of fire 'extinguishments to. be utilized,
   ;the direction of attach, systems in the room / area to be' managed in order to reduce fire damage, heat sensitive equipment in the room / area, and specific fire brigade duties with regard to smoke control and salvag (4) Fire Brigade Drill
"

During this inspection, - the inspector witnessed an unannounced fire brigade dril The drill fire scenario was a fire in the boric acid batching area, 577' elevation of the auxiliary buildin Five fire brigade members responded to the pending fire emergenc The brigade assembled outside the area in full protective (firefighting) turnout clothing and self contained breathing apparatus. An initial size-up of the fire condition was made by the fire brigade leader and two lis inch fire attack hose lines were advanced to the fire area. The fire attack hose lines were placed in service on the fire and the fire was placed under control in ten minutes. In addition, the fire brigade initiated fire victim search and rescu ,

Plant Tour-and: Inspection:of Fire Protection Equipment (1) Inspection of Fire Brigade Manual' Fire Fighting Equipment-The inspector performed .an inspection of _ the fire _ brigade _ equipment, consisting of fire hose, nozzles, tools, and miscella-neous equipment, stored at the fire brigadez equipment _ response location located;in the turbine building. - A total of 13 sets lof turnout gear z(coats, L boots, ' helmets, etc.), six sets of

 'self-contained breathing apparatus, and six spare air-cylinders--

are stored- at Ethe fire brigade equipment response locatio Approximately.105 additional spare cylinders are also located on sit Based 'on this inspection, the designated fire brigade equipment is properly maintained and stored in a ready conditio (2) Outside Fire Protection Walkdown The inspector verified 'that the fire pump suction intake structures were ~in -service and met the requirements of the Technical Specifications. The three fire ~ pumps were inspected and two of the three pumps were found to be in service. Fire Pump A was out of service due to water in the lower pump bearing. Two pumps in service meets the requirements of the Technical Specification The following sectional control valves in the outside fire protection water supply system and CO2 system were inspected and verified to be properly aligned and locked in position: Valve N Function 1RY02 Fire Pump A Discharge Valve 1R(14 Fire Pump B Discharge Valve 1RY09 Fire Pump C Discharge Valve 1RY06 Fire Pump Sectional Valve 1RY12 Fire Pump Sectional Valve 1RYO7 Fire Pump Sectional Valve 1RY19 Fire Pump Sectional Valve 1RY174 Fire Pump Sectional Valve 1RY32 Supply to Auxiliary Building 1RY25 Supply to Auxiliary Building 1RY23 Sectional Valve - East side IRY66 Sectional Valve - North side
