Docket No. 50-285 Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

Special Report on Inoperability of Fire Barriers and Fire Detection Systems The Omaha Public Power District, holder of Operating License DPR-40, submits this special report pursuant to the requirements of Fort Caihoun Station Unit No. 1 Techqical Specification 2.19 "Fire Protaction System."

Fort Calhoun Station Unit No.1 Technical Specification Section 2.19(7) requires that all penetration fire barriers protecting safety related areas shall be functional (intact). With a penetration fire barrier nonfunctional, within one hour, either establish a continuous firewatch on at least one side of the affected penetration, or ve.*ify the operability of fire detectors on at least one side of the penetration and establish an hourly firewatch patrol.

Restore the aonfunctional penetration to functional status within 7 days, or prepare and submit a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, pursuant to Section 5.9.3. of the Technical Specifications, within an additional 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause, and the plans and schedule for restoring the pentration to operable status.

Fort Calhoun Station Unit No. 1 Technical Specification 2.19(1) requires that 50% of the fire detection instrument.* tion of zones shown in Table 2-7 shall De n operable. With more than 50% inoperable detector (s) in a zone in safety c) related areas outside of containment or with two adjacent detectors in a zone h;3 inoperable:

Pb a. Within one hour, establish a fire watch patrol to inspect the zone with the inoperable instrument (s) at least once every hour, and R$

oc b. Restore the inoperable instrument (s) to operable status within 14 days. If

$$ the instr ment (s) are not restored to operable status within 14 days, ej prepare and submit a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Comission, pursuant

-x to Section 5.9.3.1 of the Technical Specifications, within an additional 30

% days, outlining the cause of the malfunction and the plans for returning the instrument (s) to operable status.

purposes listed. Due to the extent of the modifications required to restore the components to operability, restoration within the Technical Specification  !

time limit could not be accomplished. As required by the applicable TechMeal i

! Specification, the required compensatory measure was established for each '

itsted impairment. The compensatory measures will remain in place until the  !

components are returned to service. The scheduled cate for rastoration for

• The fire door or penetration seal was restored on the date shown.

The fire protection systems and barriers have been inoperable in excess of the time limits given in the applicable Technical Specification. A follow up report will be issued following final restoration detailing the corrective actions taken. This resort is being issued within the 30 day limit specified in Technical Specificri. ions 2.19(1) and 2.19(7).
