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 e. Fire Brigade (1) Organization The fire brigade is composed of approximately 75 personnel from the Operations staff. The brigade leader is normally one of the licensed nuclear operators and the remaining fire brigade members are composed of t.nlicensed nuclear operator Radwaste personnel are not normally part of the brigade unless they are qualifie The inspector reviewed the list of qualified personnel for emergency worker and fire brigade through November 24, 1987, and verified that sufficient qualified personnel were assigned to each shift to meet the provisions of Technical Specification 6. (2) Training The inspector reviewed the training and drill records for eight brigade leaders and twenty brigade members for the four quarters of 1987. These records indicated that each leader and member had received an annual medical review, attended the required training, and participated in the required number of drill The inspector also verified that a fire brigade drill had been conducted for each quarter of 1987 for each shif (3) Fire Brigade Equipment The inspector performed an inspection of the fire brigade equipment, consisting of fire hoses, nozzles, tools, and miscellaneous equipment stored at the fire brigade equipment response locations located on 148 and 189 elevations of the Control Building; 119,139 and 166 elevations of the Auxiliary Building; and 133 elevation of the Diesel Generator Bu4' 'n A total of 22 sets of turnout gear (coats, boots, helmets, etc.)

and 22 sets of self-contained breathing apparatus, are stored at the fire brigade equipment response location Additional equipment plus a 1,000 gpm Ford / Pierce fire apparatus pumper

.

with 450' of 2 " hose, 500' of 1%" hose, and miscellaneous equipment is stored in the fire equipment building located south of the Auxiliary Buildin 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 conditio (4) Fire Brigade Drill During this inspection, the inspector witnessed an unannounced fire brigade drill . The drill fire scenario was a simulated fire in electrical penetration room 1A318 of the Auxiliary Building at elevation 13 Fourteen fire brigade members and two health physics personnel responded to the pending fire emergency. The brigade members assembled outside electrical penetration Room 1A318 in full protective fire fighting turnout clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. An initial size-up of the fire condition was made by the brigade leader. The fire attack utilized halon extinguishers for backup. The fire was placed under control in eight minute The fire brigade utilized adequate manual firefighting methods and reacted to the fire drill scenario in an effective and efficient manner, f. Fire Watch Program The licensee has a hourly roving fire watch program consisting of nine people covering approximately 70 rooms in plant area This program is required to meet the action statement of Technical Specification Section 3. This action statement requires all fire rated assemblies (including walls, floors, ceilings, cable tray enclosures, and other fire barriers) separating safety-related areas or separating portions of redundant systems important to safe shutdown within a fire area, and all sealing devices in fire rated assembly penetrations (fire doors, fire dampers, cable and piping penetration seals and ventilation seals) to be operabl A fire watch check sheet is provided to indicate the rooms or plant 3reas which are required to be included in the fire watch progri Building, room numbers, and plant elevations are added to the list cs inoperative fire barriers are identifie The inspector selected 11 rooms, OC707, 07706, OC614, OC608, OC604, IA447, 1A445, 1A401, 1A222, 1A221, and 1A207, which were included in the fire watch program. The times that the roving fire watch entered these rooms were reviewed. Review of these records indicated that proper fire watch surveillances were being me ._ __ _ -- _ _ - . - - - - - - - - - - _ _--

area, the type of sxtinguishers: to be utilized, the . direction of '

attack, 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 salvage, Plant Tours (1) Outside Fire Protection The inspector verified that the two water storage tanks contained sufficient water to meet the requirements of the Technical Specifications and that all . three fire pumps were in service. The ten ton CO2 system tank was inspected and found to be 80% full of CO2 at a pressure of 300 ps; and the main supply i valve locked in the open position. Fire hydrants and Equipment House Nos. 0008, 0009, 0010, D019, D020, 0021, 0023, 0024, and 0025 were inspected. Each equipment house was found to contain 250' of 2h" and 100' of ih" fire hose, two 2h" and two lh" nozzles, two hydrant wrenches, four spanners, one fire axe, one pry bar, a handlight and hose gaskets. These fire protection ,

features appeared to be adequately maintaine (2) General Plant Tour l A tour was made by the inspector of general plant area The -
