SUBJECT:

SEABROOK STATION - NRC TRIENNIAL FIRE PROTECTION INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-443/02-009

Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:

On July 26, 2002, NRC completed a triennial fire protection team inspection at your Seabrook Generating Station. The enclosed report documents the inspection findings which were discussed at an exit meeting on July 26, 2002, with Mr. J. Peschel and other members of the North Atlantic Energy Service Company staff.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions regulations and with the conditions of your license. The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate your post-fire safe shutdown capability and fire protection program. The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed personnel.

No findings of significance were identified.

This inspection was a reduced scope inspection in accordance with the March 23, 2001, revision to IP 71111.05, Fire Protection. Issues regarding equipment malfunction due to fire-induced failures of associated circuits were not specifically inspected as a result of the criteria for review of fire-induced circuit failures currently being the subject of a voluntary industry initiative.

Ted In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRCs "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRCs document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/ADAMS.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

Sincerely,

/RA/
