- a.
InsDection Scope The review was to verify that the bjectives established by the NRC-approved FPP were satisfied. The team selected plant fire areas and reviewed the licensee's procedures.
The team also reviewed the FPP quarterly summary reports as well as the plant fire emergency/incident reports resulting from fire, smoke, sparks, arcing, and equipment overheating incidents for the years 2000-2001. This review was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the fire prevention program and to identify any maintenance or material condition problems related to fire incidents. Additionally, the team reviewed design control procedures to verify that plant changes were adequately reviewed for the potential impact on the fire protection program, SSD equipment, and procedures.
The team examined whether backup emergency lighting was provided for access pathways to and within the fire brigade staging and dress-out areas in support of fire brigade operations should a power failure occur during the fire emergency. The team also discussed with fire protection personnel whether emergency exit lighting was provided for personnel evacuation pathways to the outside exits as identified in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 101, Life Safety Code.- This'was done to verify that they were consistent with the fire protection features and potential fire conditions described in the UFSAR.
The team reviewed the design and operation of, and examined the unanfactur&'s data sheets for the direct current (DC) emergency lighting system self-contained, battery powered units. The team checked if these battery power supplies were 'rated with' at'
least an 8-hour capacity as required by Section III.J of Appendix R. The team reviewed periodic test and maintenance procedures and records to determine if adequate surveillance testing was in place to assure proper operation of the ELUs in the event of a fire at the site.
The team reviewed the fire brigade response procedure, fire brigade organization, training and drill program administration procedures. Fire brigade training and drill records were also reviewed to verify that the fire brigade personnel qualifications, brigade drill response time, and brigade performance met the requirements of the licensee's approved FPP.
Design control procedures were reviewed to verify that plant changes were adequately reviewed for the potential impact on the FFP, SSD equipment, and procedures as required by Operating License Conditions.
Identification and Resolution of Problems
- a.
Inspection Scope The team reviewed a sample of licensee audits, self-assessments, and plant issue reports to verify that items related to fire protection and safe shutdown were appropriately entered into the licensee's corrective action program in accordance with the licensee's quality assurance program and procedural requirements. The items selected were also reviewed for classification and appropriateness of the corrective actions taken or initiated to resolve the items.
The team reviewed the licensee's applicability evaluations and corrective actions for selected industry experience issues related to fire protection. The operating experience reports were reviewed to verify that the licensee's review and actions were appropriate.
The reports are listed in the List of Documents Reviewed Section.
