UNITED STATES
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 August 18, 1988 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE NO. 88-64: REPORTING FIRES IN NUCLEAR PROCESS
SYSTEMS AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS
Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power
reactors.
Purpose
This information notice is being provided to alert addressees to the importance
of prompt reporting to the NRC of fires in nuclear process systems at nuclear
power plants. These incidents involve ignition, detonation, burns, combustion, explosion, and the like, of solid, liquid, or gaseous material in safety and
nonsafety related nuclear process systems. It is expected that recipients
will review the information'for applicability to their facilities and consider
actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However, suggestions con- tained in this information notice du rot constitute NRC requirements; therefore
no specific action or written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
On February 27, 1988, a fire lasting more than ten minutes occurred in the off- gas system charcoal beds at Grand Gulf while the plant was at 100 percent power.
A hydrogen detonation caused the fire. The charcoal beds were isolated and
power was reduced to 55 percent to reduce off-gas radiation release levels, although no radioactive'materials were released as a result of this fire. A
nitrogen purge wnm used to extinguish the fire.
On June 20, 1986, a test of the temperature reducing capability of the non- safety related off-gas vault refrigeration system was performed at the Perry
plant. External radiant space heaters were used to raise the temperatures of
the charcoal bed vessel and equipment. Dry instrument air was blown through
the charcoal beds to simulate system gas flow. The test was stopped when the
charcoal beds caught fire. A nitrogen purge of the charcoal beds was used to
extinguish the fire. The test resumed on July 6, 1986. The charcoal beds
dgdin caught fire, dnd the test was stoppEd. A nitrogen purge was again used
to extinguish the fire. No radioactive releases resulted from either fire.
8801 1026
IN 88-64 August 18, 1988 Pdge 2 of 2 Discussion:
For each of the fires at the Perry plant, the licensee declared an Unusudl
Event ana notified the NRC Operations Center. However, the fire at Grand
Gulf was not reported to the NRC Operations Center, because Grand Gulf
defires an unusual event as a fire lasting more than ten minutes in a
safety related area.
Various NRC documents refer to fires that should be reported to the NRC Operations
Center. NUREG-0654, Revision 1, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of
Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear
Power Plants,"-lists a fire within the plant lasting more than 10 minutes as
an example of a condition that would require notifying the NRC of an Unusual
Event. Accordingly, fire in a process system lasting more than 10 minutes
would be an adequdte criterion for declaring .an Unusual Event in accordance
with the Emergency Plans of most licensees.
NUREG-1022, "Licensee Event Report System," and Supplement No. 1 thereto provide
informatiun and guidance orn notifying the NRC Operations Center per 10 CFR 50.72 and on preparing licensee event reports per 10 CFR 50.73. These documents con- tain examples of potentially reportable events, several of which deal with
various aspects of fires.
It is important that recipients notify the NRC Operations Center of events in- volving fires in nuclear process systems at nuclear power plants in a timely
manner. Timely reporting of events ensures that the NRC can properly respond, including alerting or informing other governmental agencies of the potential
or resultant consequences, as appropriate.
No specific action or written response is required by this information notice.
