Fire Protection Prevention Program (64704)
a.
Fire Prevention / Administrative Control Procedures (1) The inspector reviewed the following Fire Prevention /Administra-tive Procedures from the Plant Administrative Procedures Manual:
Procedure No.
Title 00253-C, (Rev. 1)
Smoking, Eating, and Drinking Policy 00254-C, (Rev. 2)
Plant Housekeeping and Cleaness Control 00260-C, (Rev. 1)
Hazardous Substances and Waste Control 00262-C, (Rev. 0)
Control of Chemicals / Fluids 00601-C, (Rev. 1)
Fire Investigation Report Procedure
,
00700-C, (Rev. 1)
General Employee Training l
00705-C, (Rev. 0)
Fire Protection Training Program 00930-C, (Rev. 0)
Radiation and Contamination Control (2) The following Fire Protection Administrative Procedures from the Plant Plans Procedures Manual were also reviewed:
-
-
-
.
.
.
.
.
Procedure No.
Title 92000-C, (Rev. 0)
Fire Protection Program 92005-C, (Rev. 0)
Fire Response Procedure 92015-C, (Rev. 0)
Control of Transient Combustibles 92020-C, (Rev. 0)
Control of Ignition Sources 92025-C, (Rev. 0)
Fire Protection Survaillance Program 92027-C, (Rev. 0)
Fire Watch Program 92028-C, (Rev. 0)
Control of Fire Area Boundaries Based on this review, it appears that the above procedures meet the NRC Guidelines of NUREG-0800, Section 9.5.1, " Standard Review Plan - Fire Protection Program," and the licensee's commitments in Section 9B of the Vogtle FSAR except as noted below:
The inspector, in reviewing procedure 92000-C, noted that Section 3.3.e, requires that the onsite Fire Protection Engineer perform periodic plant inspections to verify that the Fire protection requirements of the Administrative Control Procedures are met in order to assess the effectiveness of the fire protection program Procedure 92025-C, Fire Protection Surveillance Program, does not address this function nor have permanent plant procedures been issued to implement this procedural requirement for periodic inspections.
The licensee stated that a Temporary Startup
-
Procedure is being developed to perform these periodic inspections in areas turned over to the plant startup organization. However, until these procedures are incorporated into the permanent plant Fire Protection Surveillance Program, this is identified as Inspector Followup Item (424/86-55-01, 425/86-28-01), Development and Implementation of Periodic Inspections of the Plant for Compliance with All Fire Protection Requirements.
Additionally, there appeared to be several discrepancies between the requirements of the Plant Fire Protection Procedures and other plant operating procedures with regard to the control of flammable liquids and other types of combustible materials within the plant.
Procedure 92015-C limits the amount of flammable liquids and solid combustibles within safety-related plant areas to five gallons of liquid and 100 pounds of solids, respectively.
However, Procedure 00260-C allows up to 25 gallons of flammable liquids to be stored within cabinet:
n safety-related plant areas.
Also, Procedure
00920-C does not address fire hazards controls such as limiting the accumulation of anti-contamination clothing in dress out areas to the limits prescribed in Procedure 92015-C.
These concerns are identified as Inspector Followup Item (424/86-55-02, 425/86-28-02), Inadequate Procedural Implementation for Control of Combustibles within Safety-Related Plant Areas.
These concerns will be reviewed during future NRC site inspections.

Fire Brigade (1) Fire Brigade Training Program Procedure 00705-C outlines the fire brigade training program.
The inspector reviewed-the fire brigade initial training (Lesson Plans
FP-LP-001 thru FP-LP-036) to determine its compliance with NFPA-27
,
recommendations for organization and training.
The initial training program is designed to provide basic l
knowledge and manual fire suppression skills to the Plant Vogtle
fire brigade personnel and to maintain that knowledge and skill level through continued training.
The initial fire brigade training program is maintained under the direction of the plant training organization.
The senior Plant Fire Protection Engineer is responsible for ensuring the development and technical adequacy
'
of the training.
The initial fire brigade training program is approximately 40
-
j hours in duration and includes practical hands-on firefighting j
applications.
This training program appears to be an effective one, however, the review and evaluation of the training lesson plants disclosed that additional emphasis needs to be placed on fire hose deployment, and salvage and water runoff control
'
operations.
These will be reviewed during a future NRC inspec-
'
tion.
At the time of this inspection, the Vogtle operations fire brigade shifts have not been sufficiently developed to provide for effective shift Fire Brigade / Fire Team drills to assess the Unit 1 fire brigade overall effectiveness and qualifications.
This item
,
is identified as Inspector Followup Item (424/86-55-03), Verifica-
'
tion of Fire Brigade Personnel Qualifications and Shift Fire Brigade Drills, and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.
Within the areas reviewed, no violations or devia-tions were identified.
c.
Fire Protection Audits l
The inspector attended an exit meeting of the Vogtle Onsite QA Depart-
!
ment's in-depth audit of the fire protection program in support of fuel
!
receipt.
The licensee's QA audit (Report No. OP20/CP11/TP02-86/16)
'
identified seven fire protection deficiencies in the area of inadequate procedures, FSAR discrepancies, and fire protection in equipment i
accessibility.
These items are identified as Inspector Followup Item (424/86-55-04), Verification of Corrective Actions for Fire Protection QA Audit Open Items.
In the areas reviewed, no violations or devia-tions were identified.

Permanent Plant Fire Protection Features (64704)
Several plant tours were made by the inspector.
During the plant tours, the following plant areas and their related fire protection features were inspected.
New Fuel Unloading Bay - Fire Zone 47 New Fuel Storage Area - Fire Zone 139
Auxiliary Component Cooling Water (CCW) Pump Rooms; Auxiliary Building, Elevation 170' - 6", Fire Zones 30 and 33 Charging Pump Rooms, Auxiliary Building, Elevation 143' - 6", Fire Zones 19 and 20 Hydrogen Storage Tank - Yard Within the above areas, the inspector reviewed the following permanent plant fire prevention / protection features:
a.
Interior Fire Hose Stations A review was made of the QC inspection records and the hydrostatic tests for the below listed interior fire hose stations:
Fire Hose QC Hydro-Cabinet Fabrication Inspection static Test No.
Location Drawing No.
Date No. Date 042 New Fuel Storage 1K7-2301-059-01 4/17/86 Test 33-3/19/86 043 New Fuel Storage 1K7-2301-059-01 12/13/84 Test 33-3/19/86 130 New Fuel Unloading 1K3-2301-079-02 6/2/84 Test 10-12/13/84

CCW Pumps 1K3-2301-170-02 12/28/83 Test 02-12/13/85 109 Charging Pumps IK3-2301-160-01 11/19/83 Test 21-7/1/84 The hydrostatic testing for the fire hose and standpipe systems is performed by the site construction organization.
The inspector reviewed Pullman Construction Procedure XI-1, Field Leak Testing -
Hydrostatic and Pneumatic.
The review verified that the stations were generally installed in accordance with the construction drawing and had been hydrostatically testing within the required time and test pressure
,
of NFPA Standard 14, Chapter 8.
No major discrepancies were identified; however, a few minor discrepancies related to damaged fire hose station cabinets, missing hose pressure reducing valves, and proper installation of permanent hoses and nozzles do exist.
These items will be addressed in the licensee's Fire Protection Finalization Program, FP-3 and will be reviewed during a future NRC inspection.

Automatic Sprinkler Systems The. installation of the Unit 1 sprinkler systems is nearing completion.
.
A review was made of the QC inspection and hydrostatic tests for the
'
below listed systems.
,
System Hydrostatic Hydrostatic No.
Structure Test No.
Test Date
008 Auxiliary Building Level C, 144-008-1-1 1/21/86 Charging Pumps 010 Auxiliary Building Level C, 160-010-1-1 2/13/86 Charging Pumps 015 Auxiliary Building Level B, 135-015-1-1 1/13/86 Auxiliary CCW Pumps
016 Auxiliary Building Level B, 136-016-3-1 1/30/86 Auxiliary CCW Pumps A walkdown of these systems was conducted and it appeared that the sprinkler coverage was in general, provided at the ceiling level with l
special in-tray spray systems installed for selected cable routings.
However, due to numerous combinations of cable tray conduit, HVAC duct and obstructions in the overhead of the sprinklered areas reviewed, it
appears that adequate sprinkler water discharge from the ceiling level sprinklers does not exist in all areas to assure control or suppression of an exposure fire on the-floor.
These concerns were identified to the licensee who indicated that these types of multiple overlapping obstructions would be addressed in the Vogtle Fire Protection Finalization Program, FP-3, Attachment 4.
These conditions will be
!
reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.
j c.
Hydrogen Piping System
'
A review was made of the hydrogen gas piping system to the volume control tank within the Auxiliary Building.
The hydrogen (H ) supply to
,
the Chemical Volume and Control System (CVCS) tank is from a liquid hydrogen storage tank unit located outside the auxiliary building in
the yard area.
The piping is routed through the pipe chase into the auxiliary building.
The hydrogen system piping and components appeared complete and the system had been turned over to plant operations for testing.
The
,
hydrogen system piping to the auxiliary building is provided an excess i
flow check valve, PCV-19674, (Chemiquip Model 50FM-821109), located at
'
the pressure-temperature control station manifold, No. A-2406-54-501

L near the H2 storage tank.
The excess flow check valve is designed
,
l to limit the maximum hydrogen concentration, in the event of a
>
H line break, to less than 2% in the affected area.
The inspector
!
verified that the excess flow valve was installed in the control system
!
mainfold piping assembly.
The licensee stated that the excess flow valve would be functionally tested under Maintained Work Order MWO-A-86-02310 prior to fuel load and maintained on a periodic basis thereafter to verify the valve's operabili ty.
At the time of the inspection, the procedures for these tests had not been issued and will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.
This is identified as Inspector Followup Item (424/86-55-03, 425/86-28-03), Functional Testing of Hydrogen Gas Excess Flow Valve.
Within the areas examined, no violations or deviations were identified.
