Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters (Closed) Deviation Item (424/86-64-05 and 425/86-30-01), QA Program for Fire Protection Systems Installation Does Not Meet NRC Branch Technical Position CHEB 9.5.1.
Subsequent to the July 21-25, 1986 NRC inspection, Georgia Power Company (GPC) conducted an extensive evaluation of the fire protection QA program including implementing procedures and verifications documentation as being implemented in actual practice.
The results of the licensee's evaluation were summarized in their (GPC) letter to NRC Region II, Mr. Virgil Brownlee, dated September 25, 1986.
Additional documentation of the review was provided in a " Fire Protection Quality Assurance Program Evolution" report
,
dated September 12, 1986, which was reviewed by the inspector.
The inspector also reviewed the results of the licensee's re-inspection of three-hour rated plaster walls; and licensee inspections of structural steel fireproofing and seismic gap fire seals.
In addition, construction procedures CD-T-27 Installation of Seismic Gap Filler, and CD-T-29, Installation of Fire Rated Metal Stud and Plaster Walls have been revised to include documented independent surveillance and inspection of futurc installations.
These licensee actions provide assurance that the fire
.
protection QA programs are being implemented onsite in a more vigorous manner, therefore, this item is considered closed.

Area Turnover 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 98 of the Vogtle FSAR.
b.
Area Turnovers Section 5.25 of procedure SUM-26 (Area Turnover) specifies that the plant Fire Protection Engineer or his representative will walkdown each area prior to turnover to ensure that all fire items are in compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA); FSAR commitments, design documents, or that incomplete items are identified on the Area Punchlist.
The procedure provides a Fire Protection Walkdown Check-
'
list, (FP-13), to aid in the fire protection walkdown and provides guidelines and documentation for the review.
The NRC inspector
,
reviewed the following completed walkdown (FP-13) packages:
Plant Area Turnover Package No.
(1) Control Building Level C 1-AA-12C-01 1-AA-122-02 1-AA-123-01 1-AA-122-03 l
(2) Control Building Level 2 1-AA-122-01 1-AA-122-04 (3) Control Building Level 1 1-AA-121-01 The inspector also accompanied the operations fire protection walkdown specialist during his inspection of several plant areas of the Auxiliary Building Level D.
The operation's organization walkdown checklists identified numerous fire protection items which were not complete within the plant areas scheduled to be turned over to the operations organization.
At the time of this inspection, none of the plant areas reviewed had been accepted by plant operations for operational turnover.
The inspector expressed concern that a large number of fire watches may be required to provide compensatory measures for these numerous incomplete fire protection items at fuel load.
This item is identified as Inspector

i 1-3KC-01 (Rev. 0)
Fire Protection Water 1-3KC-02 (Rev. 0)
Fire Protection Sprinklers 1-3QK-01 (Rev. 0)
Fire Detection System 1-3KN-01(Rev.0)
Halon Fire Protection System 1-3QD-01 (Rev. 0)
Emergency Lighting System I
Based on this review, it appears that the scope of the 4bove test instructions meet the guidelines for system's testing as denoted in the i
NFPA Standards except as noted below:
The inspector in reviewing preoperational test instruction 1-3QK-01 for
!
the plant fire detection system noted that, the testing of the local
. fire detection panels (LZIPs) did not include testing of an abnormal
condition of a single ground fault on the detection fire zone' wiring.
i
. The fire detection system is designed to Class A supervised require-i ments of NFPA Standard 72D-1975.
This Standard requires that the
supervisory circuits annunciate a " trouble" alarm for both a single i
open and single ground fault in the signal wiring circuitry.
The failure to provide testing of the ground fault supervisory circuit is identified as Inspector Followup Item (424/86-124-02), Abnormal Single
,
Ground Fault Condition Test Requirements to be Incorporated into Fire
Detection System Preoperational Test in Accordance with NFPA-72D. This item will be reviewed during a future NRC inspection.
l Additionally, there appeared to be several discrepancies in the test program for the eight-hour battery powered emergency lights. The scope
of the test reviewed did not include verification of lamp aiming to assure that the required safe-shutdown equipment were illuminated.
i also the test Walkdown Step. 6.14 did not include walkdown of all
emergency safe-shutdown routes as identified in the plant safe shutdown.
analysis.
During the inspection, the licensee issued Preoperational l
Test Procedure Change Request. No. 5 and No. 6 to revise procedure i
1-3QD-01 to include the above items within the test scope. 'hese items i
will be reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.

(Closed) IFI (424/86-55-04), Verification of Corrective Actions for Fire Protection QA Audit Open Items The licensee's QA audits had identified several fire protection program discrepancies and unresolved items, and recommended several program improvements.
At the time of this inspection, the licensee had either implemented the corrective actions associated with these audit findings or a scheduled date for completion of the correction actions had been established.
The licensee appears to be taking the appropriate corrective actions on these findings.
e.
(Closed) IFI (424/86-64-02), Incomplete Fire Brigade Equipment Inventory and Fire Brigade Response Assembly Area The licensee has provided a fire brigade response assembly area outside the main control room in the control building level 1 where lockers are placed to store the fire brigade equipment.
This equipment is inspected visually on a monthly basis in accordance with plant maintenance procedure 92405-C, Fire Brigade Equipment.
The inspector reviewed completed inspection completion sheets for August 27, September 23, and October 18, 1986, and performed a visual inspection of the area and lockers.
Based upon this review this item is closed.
f.
(Closed) IFI (424/86-64-08), NRC Verification of Fire Protection Finalization Program Procedure Revision and Procedure Implementation The licensee indicated that the 18 inspection procedure attachments of the finalization program have been completed and all fire protection corrective actions have been encoded onto the plant Master Tracking System as Fire Protection Action Items and assigned to a responsible licensee organization.
These items are subject to diposition during plant area turnovers where additional fire protection walkdowns are conducted.
This process assures that fire protection feature discrepancies are identified and their status is tracked prior to area turnover to the operations organization. Therefore, this item is closed.
(0 pen) - IFI (424/86-64-03), Prefire Plans Fail to Properly Identify Adequate Fire Brigade Strategies.
The licensee has committed to prepare Fire Fighting Prefire Plan revisions to incorporate upgrading comments by both the NRC and the GPC Quality Assurance organization.
The licensee has developed a schedule for completion of these revisions in an order of 16 groups.
Group one is scheduled to be completed by December 8,1986, with remaining groups to be completed at the rate of one plan group per week.
The inspector expressed concern that group
