Amendment No. 57 3.14-1
3.14.1 Continued Basis:
Operability of the fire detection and actuation instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for prompt detection of fires and provides for the actuation of automatic isolation and suppression systems which protect various safety related areas of the plant. The capabilities are required in order to detect, locate, iso late and extinguish fires in their early stages.
Prompt detection of fires will reduce the potential for damage to safety related equipment and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.
In the event that a portion of the fire detection and actuation ins tru mentation is inoperable, the establishment of frequent fire patrols in the affected areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is returned to service.

C.
If a diesel generator CO2 Fire Protection System is inoperable and the affected diesel generator is running, imediately post a continuous fire watch. A continuous fire watch shall be maintained until the CO2 fire protection system is restored to operability or until the diesel generator has been shut do n.

- a.
With a complete bank (10 cylinders, 5 instantaneous and 5 extended discharge) of fully charged Halon cylinders in service.
b.. With the. systems. aligned to deliver to the protected areas.
C.
With automatic initiation logic operable.
- d.
A Ealon Cylinder shall be dee-ed to be fully charged if it con tains not less than 90% of its full charge pressure and not less than 95% of its full charge weight.
3.14.6.2 With the Ralon Fire Protect'-n System in a condition of readiness less than required by the abcve:

- b..Restore the.system to OPERABLE status within 14 days or prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.3.g within the next 30*days outlining the action taken, the cause of the inoperability and the plans and schedule for.restoring the system to OPERABLE status.
Basis:
The OPERABILITY of the fire suppressicn systems ensures that adeouate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in any portion of the facility where safety related equipment is located. The fire suppression system consists of the water
- system, CC0, Halon, and fire.hose stations.
The collective canabilfty of the fire suppression syste-s is adequate to min-mize potential damage to safety. related equipment and is a major element in the facility fire protection prcgram.
Amendment No.
57 3,14-4
3.14.6.2 Continued In the event that portions of the fire suppression systems are izopera ble, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be =ade available in the affected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.
In the event that the fire suppression water s-ystem beczss inoperable, iediate corrective =easures =ust be taken since this syste=
rcvides the =jor fire suppression capability of the plant.
The recuie-ents for a tweney-four hour report to the Co=ission provides for prompt' evaluation of the acceptability of the ccrrective measures to procei adequate fire suppression capability for the continued protection o the nuclear plant.
3.14.7 Fire Barrier Penetration Fire Seals 3.14.7.1 All penetration fire barriers protecting safety related areas shall be OPERABLE when equipment in those areas are required to be ORERABLE.
3.14.7.2 With the penetration fire barrier inoperable.

The OPERABILITY of the fire detection systa=s providing coverage for the fire areas on either side of the penetration, as appli cable, shall be verified within one hour.
- b.
If-either of the detection sy;stes are ivocerable, a ccntinucus
.fire watch shall be established on at least one side of the af fected penetration within one hour.
- c.
Restore the inoperable fire barrier penetration(s) to OPERABLE status within 7 days or prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.3g within the.next 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause of the inoperable penetration and plans and-schedule for restoring the fire barrier penetration(s) to OPERABLE status.
Basis:
The OPERABILITY of the fire barriar ene:ration seals ensures that. fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreadn.g to adjacent portions of the facility.
This desin featre minimizes the possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several areas of the facility prior to detection and extinguishment.
The fire barrier penetration seals are a passive element-in the-facility fire protecticn program and are subject to periodic inspections.
During periods of tine when the seals are not OPERABLE ver r cation of fira detection system OPERABILITY is required to insure that -rc=-c detection capability exists in the vicinity of :he penetration barriEr.
Should an area detection system be incperable, the fire watch will provide the required protection until the seal is restored to OPERABLE status.
