1.0 INTRODUCTION
In October 1976, Georgia Power Corporation (GPC) submitted a report entitled "Evaluation of the Hatch Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Program", documenting its evaluation of the fire protection provisions at E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP). This report described the Fire Protection Program, evaluated the effects of postulated fires on nuclear plant safety (Fire Hazard Analysis), and provided a comparison with the guidelines contained in Appendix A to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1. In October 1978, the NRC issued a Safety Evaluation Report judging the compliance of HNP to the guidelines of Appendix A as acceptable, pending implementation of certain modifications.
In October 1980, the NRC approved a new rule concerning fire protection at nuclear power plants. This rule and its Appendix R, "Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979," required GPC to re-evaluate the fire protection provisions at HNP, particularly with respect to the capability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown in the event of a fire. As a result of this re-evaluation, additional modifications to the design and operation of HNP have been implemented.
1.1 Purpose This report represents an update of the 1976 Fire Hazard Analysis and incorporated the results of the safe shutdown assessment documented in calculations performed by the architect/engineers for GPC. The objectives of this updated Fire Hazard Analysis are:
- a. To define fire areas and fire zones consistent with the guidelines of both Appendix A and Appendix R;
- b. To document and quantify all combustibles located in each fire area and zone and to calculate the design bases fire (DBF) for each fire area and zone;
- c. To summarize, by fire area, the location of circuits and components required to safely shut down the reactor;
- d. To describe the capabilities of the fire protection features for all areas, including those to protect at least one path of safe shutdown equipment in each fire area.
This updated Fire Hazard Analysis was performed by individuals knowledgable in both nuclear plant systems and fire protection and was reviewed and approved by a fire protection engineer who is qualified for member grade in the Society of Fire Protection Engineers.
1.2 Scope This fire hazard analysis included all plant areas which either:
- a. Contain safety-related and/or safe shutdown equipment;
- b. Contain neither safety-related nor safe shutdown equipment but represent an exposure hazard to any such area; or HNP-FHA-1 1-2 REV 28 11/10 c. Have the potential for a significant release of radioactive material.
In addition, other plant areas have been included that present a significant hazard or investment. These areas, while not affected by regulatory requirements, represent a significant investment by GPC and it is good fire protection practice to include them in this updated Fire Hazard Analysis.
This report also readdresses those positions of BTP 9.5-1 associated with plant design features.
Those positions in the BTP associated with administration, organization, training, and quality assurance are readdressed in the Fire Protection Plan provided as Appendix A of this report.
HNP-FHA-2 2-1 REV 28 11/10 2.0 DEFINITIONS Approved - Tested and accepted for a specific purpose or application by a nationally recognized testing laboratory.
Authority Having Jurisdiction - An organization, office, or individual responsible for enforcing the requirements of a code or standard or for approving equipment, materials, an installation, or a procedure (e.g., Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL)).
Automatic - Self-acting, operating by its own mechanism when actuated by some impersonal influence, as for example, a change in voltage, pressure, temperature or mechanical configuration.
Combustible Material - Any material that does not meet the definition of noncombustible.
Design Basis Fire - A design basis fire is a theoretical event that postulates the complete combustion of all the combustibles (i.e., flashover is assumed) in a compartment and considers the total heat released under these conditions. An actual fire always involves varying amounts of incomplete combustion and, therefore, yields a lower total heat release to the compartment; thus, an actual fire is less severe than a design basis fire.
Exposure Fire - An exposure fire is a fire in a given area that involves either in situ or transient combustibles and is external to any structures, systems, or components located in or adjacent to that same area. The effects of such a fire could adversely affect those structures, systems, or components important to safety. Thus, a fire involving one path of safe shutdown equipment may constitute an exposure fire for the redundant path located in the same area, and a fire involving combustibles other than either redundant path may constitute an exposure fire to both redundant paths located in the same area.
Fire Area - An area sufficiently bounded to withstand the hazards associated with the area and, as necessary, to protect important equipment within the area from a fire outside the area.
Fire Barrier - Those components of construction including walls, floors, enclosures, roofs penetration seals, fire-rated doors, and ventilation dampers that are rated by approving laboratories in hours of resistance to fire to prevent the propagation of fire. Structural steel forming a part of these barriers is provided with protective coatings to preclude fire damage.
Fire barriers may also consist of a combination of existing architectural features and suppression systems as detailed in section 3.4 of this report.
Fire Detectors - A device designed to automatically detect the presence of fire and initiate an alarm.
- a. Heat (Thermal) Detector - A device which detects abnormally high temperature or rate of temperature rise.
- b. Smoke Detector - A device which detects the visible or invisible products of combustion.
HNP-FHA-2 2-2 REV 28 11/10 c. Line-Type Thermal Detector - A device in which detection is continuous along a path, e.g., fixed-temperature, heat-sensitive cable, and rate-of-rise pneumatic tubing detectors. Fire Rating - The endurance period of a fire barrier or structure to a standard fire exposure elapsing before the first critical point in behavior is observed. (Refer to NFPA Standard No. 251 or ASTM E-119).
Fire Suppression - The capability for control and extinguishment of fires. Manual fire suppression activities are the application of hose streams or portable extinguishers to control and extinguish a fire. Automatic fire suppression is the application of fixed systems such as automatic sprinklers, halon, carbon dioxide, or fixed water spray, installed in specific areas to control and extinguish fires.
Fire Zone - That portion of a fire area that is best analyzed separately as a zone within a fire area due to its unique combustible loading or fire characteristics. A fire zone is a subset of a fire area.
Labeled - Equipment or materials to which has been attached a label, symbol, or other identifying mark of an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with product evaluation, that maintains periodic inspection of production of labeled equipment or materials, and by whose labeling the manufacturer indicates compliance with appropriate standards or performance in a specified manner.
Listed - Equipment, materials, or services included in a list published by an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with evaluation of products or services, that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials or periodic evaluation of services, and whose listing states that either the equipment, material, or service meets appropriate designated standards or has been tested and found suitable for a specified purpose.
Noncombustible Material a. A material in the form in which it is used and under the conditions anticipated, will not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subjected to fire or heat.
- b. Material having a structural base of noncombustible material as defined in a., above, with a surfacing not over 1/8-inch thick that has a flame spread rating not higher than 50 when measured using ASTM E-84 Test "Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials."
Safety Related - Fire areas and zones are defined as safety related if they contain any safety equipment as defined in Table 1 of reference 1.
Sprinkler System - A system of piping and components from the first supply valve to the point where water discharges from the system to the protected area. The system sometimes includes a controlling and/or a sectionalizing valve which is activated by a fire detection system (thermal or smoke) and a device for actuating an alarm when the system is in operation.
HNP-FHA-2 2-3 REV 28 11/10 a. Wet Pipe - A system employing automatic closed head (fusible link operated) sprinklers attached to a piping system containing water and connected to a water supply so that water discharges immediately from sprinklers opened by a fire.
- b. Dry Pipe - A system employing automatic closed head sprinklers attached to a piping system containing air under pressure, the release of which from the opening of a sprinkler permits the water to open a valve known as a dry pipe valve. The water then flows into the piping system and out the opened sprinklers as the air pressure drops.
- c. Pre Action System - A system employing automatic closed head sprinklers attached to a piping system containing air that may or may not be under pressure, with a fire detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. Actuation of the fire detection system opens a valve which permits water to flow into the piping system and discharges from all open sprinklers simultaneously.
- d. Deluge - A system employing open head sprinklers attached to a piping system connected to a water supply through a valve which is opened upon actuation of a fire detection system in the same area as the sprinklers and/or nozzles. When this valve opens, water flows into the piping system and discharges from all open sprinklers simultaneously.
- e. Water Spray System - A network of piping similar to a sprinkler system except that it utilizes directional spray nozzles. NFPA Standard No. 15, "Water Spray Fixed System," provides guidance on these systems.
- f. Standpipe and Hose System - A fixed piping system connected to a water supply to provide effective hose streams in the shortest possible time to specific areas inside the building.
Fire-rated Class A, B, C - Fire-rated rating class applied to fire doors and dampers as follows:
Class Fire Rating A 3 h B 1-1/2 h C 3/4 h
HNP-FHA-3 3-1 REV 33 12/14 3.0 METHODOLOGY The bases and methodology used in producing this Fire Hazard Analysis are as follows.
3.1 Bases for the Fire Hazard Analysis This Fire Hazard Analysis is performed to:
- a. Consider potential in-situ and transient fire hazards.
- b. Determine the consequences of fire in any location of the plant on the ability to safely shut down the reactor or on the ability to minimize and control the release of radioactivity to the environment.
- c. Specify measures for fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, and fire containment and alternative shutdown capability as required for each fire area containing structures, systems, and components important to safety in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) guidelines and regulations.
- d. Assess the fire protection measures throughout the E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP).
3.2 Design Input Summary/As-Built Verification The E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Fire Hazard Analysis drawings (section 8.0) provide the following information:
- Suppression system coverage.
- Detection system coverage.
- Fire area boundary definitions.
- Fire barrier ratings.
- Fire door ratings.
- Portable extinguisher coverage.
- Hose station coverage.
The square footage of the fire areas was determined using various Unit 1 general arrangement and equipment location drawings and Unit 2 general arrangement and architectural drawings as referenced in section 5.3 of this report.
The summary information regarding the safe shutdown circuits and components located in each area was extracted from the Safe Shutdown Analysis Report. The methodology used for this extraction is noted in section 3.6 of this report.
The inventory of combustible materials in each fire area and zone, with the exception of cable insulation, was determined via a detailed plant walkdown conducted in June and July of 1985.
HNP-FHA-3 3-2 REV 33 12/14 The cable combustible inventory was calculated as is stated in section 3.5 and in appendix L of this report. Any additional information not specified here was determined during the previously noted walkdown.
3.3 Fire Hazard Analysis Methodology and Format The extent to which this updated Fire Hazard Analysis meets the above bases and the methodology and format employed are discussed below:
3.3.1 Fire Hazard Analysis Methodology This updated Fire Hazard Analysis identifies and quantifies the combustible contents of, as a minimum, all structures housing safety-related equipment or presenting an exposure hazard to safety-related equipment. Conservative values of heat release, assuming total combustion of all fixed combustibles in each fire area and zone, are utilized to maximize the effect of potential fire hazards. Cable insulation, which represents a major hazard in nuclear power plants, is evaluated assuming cable tray sections are filled to the maximum design limit or the actual fill, whichever is greater.
With regards to transient combustibles, it should be noted that HNP utilizes a permit system for control of transient combustibles. All movement of transients through safety-related structures are reviewed and approved by site fire protection personnel. Since the evaluation of the acceptability of transient combustibles is made at the time of the permit, transient combustibles have not been specifically included in this updated Fire Hazard Analysis except as follows:
- Combustibles which are not "fixed" but are, nonetheless, considered permanent (e.g., dress out areas, supply storage, etc.) were included.
- Known transient combustibles in the yard area (e.g., diesel fuel transport) were evaluated for their effects on safety-related equipment in the yard.
This updated Fire Hazard Analysis summarizes the analyses performed by the architect/engineers to demonstrate compliance to Sections III.G of Appendix R. For each fire area, this summary includes the identification of the path of equipment to be utilized to achieve safe shutdown, diesel generators required, number of safe shutdown components (e.g., pumps, valves, etc.) located in the area, and safe shutdown components of the path used for safe shutdown for which electrical cabling passes through the area. Circuit protection or special operator actions required to safely shut down the reactor are also identified. The release of radioactivity resulting from a fire may be due to the airborne release of surface contamination of combustible materials, the failure of waste processing systems, or the initiation of a plant transient involving the rupture of a fission product barrier. Such a release is not specifically addressed in each fire area and zone analysis since:
- All buildings containing contaminated materials are of substantial construction and surface contamination released due to a fire is expected to be insignificant and remain local to the structure.
HNP-FHA-3 3-3 REV 33 12/14
- The failure of waste processing systems is bounded by the analysis in chapter 15 of the FSAR.
- The provisions of Appendix R ensure the ability to achieve safe shutdown with no fuel failures or failures of high-low pressure boundaries. Inasmuch as the fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, and fire containment features at HNP have been previously approved by the NRC (SER dated October 1978), this updated Fire Hazard Analysis has focused on the subsequent changes to the plant approved features and on the evaluation of new systems to meet GPC commitments to NRC guidelines and regulations.
Alternative shutdown capability has been approved by the NRC (SER dated February 1983) and has been incorporated as discussed in section 3.6. For convenience, appendix D of this report provides a cross-reference matrix referencing the NRC position in BTP 9.5-1, the GPC response to each position as stated in the "Evaluation of the Hatch Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Program" (reference 1), and the current response as stated in this report. 3.3.2 Format of the Detailed Fire Hazard Analysis The analysis in sections 10.0 through 12.0 consists of a fire analysis data sheet for each fire area and zone and a detailed hazards analysis. The fire analysis data sheet is a summary of all important information contained in each fire area or zone and is described in section 5.0 of this report. The following sections are contained in the detailed hazards analysis of each fire area and zone. Description - This section lists the building in which the area or zone is located, the floor elevation, and the description of the area or zone.
Drawing Number(s) - This identifies the E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant Fire Hazard Analysis drawing or drawings on which the area or zone is depicted.
Area - This section lists the floor area of the area or zone in square feet.
Combustible Material - This section defines the combustible loading as low, moderate, or high (as defined in section 3.5) and lists the major types of combustible material in the area or zone.
Design Basis Fire (DBF) - This section contains the postulated worst case fire in the fire area or zone in terms of an equivalent fire referenced to the standard exposure fire (as defined in section 2.0).
Construction - This section contains a description of the construction and rating of the boundaries of the fire area or zone.
Fire Protection - This section lists all of the elements of the fire protection systems within the fire area or zone.
HNP-FHA-3 3-4 REV 33 12/14 Appendix R Exemptions - This section lists any Appendix R exemptions that have been submitted or granted for the area.
Consequences of Design Basis Fire - This section contains the possible safety consequences for the plant in the event of a design basis fire. This section also contains a description of the sequence of events which will mitigate the consequences of a design basis fire and an evaluation of the ability of area or zone boundaries to contain the design basis fire.
Safe Shutdown Analysis - This section contains a listing of the safe shutdown components affected due to a loss of circuits in the area (for the path used for shutdown only) and the circuit protection or operator actions required.
3.4 Establishment of Fire Areas/Zones Fire areas are generally bounded on all sides by rated fire barriers or by substantially constructed walls exempted from rating requirements. Rated fire barriers typically have openings or penetrations protected with seals or closures, having a fire resistance rating equivalent to or greater than that of the barrier, including doors and HVAC dampers. All openings in rated barriers that do not have a fire resistance rating equal to that of the penetrated barrier have been evaluated according to the criteria in appendix I of this report.
Structural steel, which forms a part of a rated barrier, is protected with an equivalent rated coating of fire retardant material.
Where fire area boundaries are not rated fire barriers, the barriers have been evaluated for their ability to contain a design basis fire and to protect equipment within the area from a fire outside the area. Nonrated barriers typically considered acceptable are exterior concrete walls of major structures subject to insignificant outside fire hazards and interior concrete walls with few unsealed openings separating fire areas that have very low (less than 20,000 Btu/ft2) combustible loadings. Additional considerations include the available active fire protection features, location and size of openings, ceiling height, and location of safe shutdown equipment.
Requests for exemption from the requirement for a 3-h rating of nonrated fire barriers separating fire areas have been submitted based on these evaluations. Appendix C provides these exemption requests, along with the safety evaluation reports for those that have been granted. Appendix I of this report provides the evaluation criteria for penetrations in fire barriers that do not meet accepted, standard configurations or that cannot be inspected to verify their compliance with accepted standards.
An exception to the above boundary philosophy is the use of a combination of circuit protection and water suppression to divide each reactor building into two fire areas at and below elevation 185 ft 0 in. These boundaries consist of those engineered systems of sprinklers and circuit protection, in combination with existing architectural features, used to prevent a fire that occurs on one side of each unit's reactor building from propagating to or damaging safe shutdown circuits in the opposite side.
These systems consist of automatic sprinkler systems extending from the east-west centerline of each reactor building into each adjacent fire area to a distance of 20 ft beyond the last redundant opposite path component. Where only one path of equipment exists, the area of HNP-FHA-3 3-5 REV 33 12/14 sprinkler coverage is at least 20 ft wide. This separation has been reviewed and approved by the NRC (reference 8).
In a few instances, artificial area boundaries have been created to separate the control building from each turbine building. However, no credit has been taken for these artificial boundaries to prevent the propagation of a fire.
Hazards in the yard areas have been analyzed as separate hazards where there is no possibility of fire propagating due to large spatial separations or other physical features.
Fire zones within a fire area are established either on the basis of individual rooms or compartments for the convenience of identifying the combustible inventories, or on the basis of a significant concentration of combustible materials within an area. The Fire Hazard Analysis for fire zones evaluates the likelihood of propagation beyond the zone boundaries, assuming that the fire protection features in the zone are available, but takes credit for fire containment only at fire area boundaries.
3.5 Design Basis Fire The approach and analysis methods used for the calculation of the design basis fire for this Fire Hazard Analysis are described below:
3.5.1 Combustible Loading Combustible materials are categorized and quantified in each fire area or zone. Complete combustion of all combustible materials in the fire area or zone is assumed for the design basis fire. Each type of combustible (for cable trays see subsection 3.5.2) is multiplied by its heat of combustion, listed in table 3-1. The combustible loading is calculated by dividing the total heat of combustion by the floor area of the fire area or zone. The combustible loading is defined as low, moderate, or high as follows:
Low - the loading does not exceed an average of 100,000 Btu/ft2. Moderate - the loading exceeds an average of100,000 Btu/ft2 but is less than 200,000 Btu/ft2.
High - the loading exceeds an average of 200,000 Btu/ft2. Cable in conduit is not considered a part of the combustible loading. Small quantities of miscellaneous combustibles are, in some instances, not considered when they represent an insignificant contribution to the total combustible loading. For example, emergency light battery cases (approximately 4 lb of plastic) are not included, unless the room in which they are located is very small or contains very few other combustibles. TF-1, a class of less flammable synthetic fluids, is used in several transformers within the plant. This fluid has a flash point at or above 200° F; the heat of combustion is 4,800 Btu/lb. (See appendix K of this report for additional detail.)
HNP-FHA-3 3-6 REV 33 12/14 Silicone, a class of less flammable synthetic fluids containing polydimethylsiloxane, is used in several transformers within the plant. This fluid has an auto ignition point of 460°F. The heat of combustion is 11,600 Btu/lb.
3.5.2 Cable Tray Combustible Loading and Heat Release Calculation The purpose for performing this calculation is to determine the quantity of combustible cable insulation in each fire area or zone and the theoretical heat that could be released upon complete combustion of that insulation.
The length and size of cable trays is determined for each area or zone. The volume of a cable tray (in.2-ft) is calculated by multiplying its length in the area or zone by its cross-sectional area. The volume of cable is calculated by multiplying the cable tray volume by the percentage fill.
The percentage fill is recorded as 40 percent, the administrative design limit, for all cable trays that are filled with cable up to 40 percent by volume. This is a very conservative assumption since the actual fill of cable trays in the plant is generally much less than 40 percent. For cable trays that are more than 40-percent full, the actual percentage fill is used. For cases where the use of the 40% fill assumption could result in exceeding the maximum permissible loading for a zone, the actual tray fill may be used for all trays in the affected zone.
The insulation weight is calculated by multiplying the calculated volume by a mean unit weight of 0.617 lb/in.2-ft.
To calculate the heat released by the combustion of the insulation in each cable tray, multiply the insulation weight by an average calorific value of 11,500 Btu/lb of insulation. Appendix L of this report provides additional detail. The total cable insulation weight and potential heat release in each area is determined by the summation of these values for all cable trays in the area. Where cable trays are wrapped with a 1- or 3-h fire resistant material, the quantity of such cable is included in the calculated weight of combustibles in the analysis and matrix, but is not included in the heat release or fire loading (i.e., the heat of combustion is set equal to 0). 3.5.3 Maximum Permissible Fire Loading The maximum permissible fire loading represents an administrative limit on the maximum permanent and transient combustibles which can be contained in the fire area or zone.
Transient combustible loadings are not generally included in the calculation of the design basis fire; however, administrative controls require all movement of transient combustibles in safety-related structures to be approved by site fire protection personnel. It is intended that only those transient loads that cause the total combustible loading to exceed the maximum permissible loading would require further evaluation by the site fire protection personnel, with respect to additional suppression capability.
HNP-FHA-3 3-7 REV 33 12/14 The maximum permissible fire loading is determined by various factors, such as construction of the area or zone, available fire protection features, and commitments to support Appendix R exemptions. In general, the maximum permissible fire loading is limited to the following: a. Area or zone with no - 20,000 Btu/ft2 detection or automatic suppression.
- b. Area or zone with - 100,000 Btu/ft2 detection and/or automatic suppression.
In the event that the existing fixed combustible loading is greater than the guidelines above, the maximum combustible loading is stated as the existing fixed loading plus 20,000 Btu/ft2.
3.5.4 Design Basis Fire Duration The design basis fire assumes total combustion of all combustibles contained in the fire area or zone. To calculate the design basis fire, the standard exposure fire (curve E, figure 3-1) is assumed. The fire loading calculated for each fire area or zone is divided by the heat rate for the standard exposure fire (table 3-2, 80,000 Btu/ft2 - h) to give the maximum fire duration in hours.
The design basis fire requires postulating the loss of components in the fire area or zone.
Considering this, there are two objectives in the fire hazard analysis of each area:
- a. The boundaries, or fire barriers, are analyzed to verify their adequacy in containing the design basis fire in the fire area, so the adjacent fire areas with redundant equipment will not be jeopardized.
- b. Safe shutdown components and circuits are evaluated to determine separation per 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, section III.G. 3.6 Summary of the Safe Shutdown Evaluation The evaluation of safe shutdown capability has been performed and documented in the Safe Shutdown Analysis Report. Appendix E of this report describes the assumptions and methodology utilized in these evaluations. These analyses determine paths (path 1, 2, and 3) of minimum equipment required to safely shut down (cold shutdown) HNP Units 1 and 2 for a design basis fire. The fire hazards analysis summarizes the results of these analyses by stating which path is required for shutdown in each fire area, diesel generator(s) required for shutdown for each fire area, number of safe shutdown components in each fire area, and tabulating the safe shutdown components of the path used for safe shutdown which are affected by a fire in the area as a result of having circuits routed through the area. These analyses also indicate any required actions. The major systems and equipment required were defined by General Electric in "Minimum Systems Required for Safe Shutdown During a Fire in Edwin I. Hatch HNP-FHA-3 3-8 REV 33 12/14 Nuclear Power Stations Units 1 and 2" (NEDO-24372) and further refined in "Safe Shutdown Appendix R Analyses for Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Power Stations Units 1 and 2" (MDE-03-0186).
High/low pressure interface components are analyzed separately from the "normal" path 1 and path 2 safe shutdown systems and are not summarized in this report.
In addition, each fire area or zone has been categorized as safety related or nonsafety related based on whether any safety-related equipment is located within the area or zone boundaries as defined in table 1 of reference 1.
3.7 Flooding/Inadvertent Actuation The Fire Hazard Analysis does not specifically address the effects of flooding or water spray due to the rupture or inadvertent actuation of fire suppression systems. Rupture of moderate energy systems is described in chapter 3 of the FSAR.

HNP-FHA-5 5-1 REV 28 11/10 5.0 FIRE AREA DATA SHEET EXPLANATORY NOTES This section contains descriptions of the various parts that make up the Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) data sheet contained in the detailed fire hazard analyses.
5.1 Fire Area/Zone A fire area is defined as an area sufficiently bounded to withstand the hazards associated with the area and, as necessary, to protect important equipment within the area from a fire outside the area. A fire zone is that portion of a fire area that is best analyzed separately as a zone within a fire area due to its unique combustible loading or fire characteristics. A fire zone is a subset of a fire area. Each fire area/zone has an alphanumeric designator as follows:
XXXXX Unit (see below) Fire Zone Identifier Building I.D. (Alpha Character). If this (see below) designator is not present, the fire area is not Sequential Area I.D. subdivided into zones.
Building I.D. Description Unit Designation 0 Control building 0 Common areas 1 Turbine building 1 Unit 1 2 Reactor building 2 Unit 2 3 Radwaste and radwaste addition bldg. 4 Diesel building 5 Intake structure 6 Yard areas containing safe shutdown circuits or components, a significant radiological hazard, or safety-related equipment 7 Fire pump building 8 Miscellaneous Each fire area or fire zone will have a data sheet and will be identified as being safety related or nonsafety related.
5.2 Description Brief descriptions of the fire areas or zones are given as determined from plant drawings and walkdowns. The elevation is also determined from plant drawings.
HNP-FHA-5 5-2 REV 28 11/10 5.3 Drawing Number(s)
The applicable FHA drawings for the fire areas or fire zones are listed.
5.4 Area The floor areas were calculated using plant civil and structural drawings as a reference. Internal floor areas of stairwells are for only one elevation.
5.5 Combustibles The combustibles in each fire area or zone are determined by a detailed review of drawings and equipment specifications, cable and raceway schedules, and a detailed physical survey of the plant. Combustible material is categorized by type as:
- Oil and grease.
- Cable (see subsection 3.5.2).
- Class A (wood-based products and cloth).
- Charcoal.
- Plastics.
- Miscellaneous (rubber, carpet, fiberglass ladders, solvents, etc.).
- Miscellaneous gases (bottled combustible gases).
Bottled gases and piped gases (hydrogen for generator cooling) are included in the combustible loading.
5.6 Design Basis Fire The design basis fire (DBF) represents the complete combustion of all flammable materials in the area or zone and is expressed as a fire loading in Btu per square foot. This is an extremely conservative definition of the DBF, since it is based upon 40-percent cable tray fill volume or the actual tray fill, whichever is greater, plus the actual amount of other combustibles.
The fire loading for each fire area is calculated by the methodology described in section 3.0 of this report and by the FPDS (Fire Protection Data System) computer code supplied as an integral part of this report.
For the calculation of the heat released by the complete combustion of the cable insulation in each area, see section 3.0 of this report. In this analysis, cable routed in conduit is not HNP-FHA-5 5-3 REV 28 11/10 considered as a combustible and is not included in the calculation of the DBF. Cable which is wrapped with a 1-h or 3-h fire resistant barrier is also not included in the calculation of the design basis fire.
The maximum permissible fire loading is an administrative limit which defines the maximum fire loading which may be contained in the area or zone. The maximum fire loading value is based on an even distribution of the combustible materials within the fire area or zone and is determined using the methodology in section 3.0 of this report.
The maximum permissible fire loading value is based upon curve E from NFPA 251 as shown in figure 3-1.
The difference between the maximum permissible fire loading and the actual fire loading reflects the administrative amount of transient combustibles which may be allowed in the area or zone.
Authorization by the manager-engineering support, upon recommendation of the plant fire protection staff, must be obtained prior to exceeding the maximum permissible fire loading.
The fire duration stated is the total burn time of the DBF determined by dividing the fire loading for the area or zone by 80,000 B/ft2 which corresponds to a 1-h fire on the NFPA curves.
5.7 Fire Protection (Available) The fire suppression and detection available in the fire area or zone is listed in tabular form in this section of the data sheet.
Suppression - The type of fixed suppression in the fire area or zone is noted.
Hose Stations - The type (H2O, CO2) of hose stations in the fire area or zone is noted.
Portable Extinguishers - The type of portable fire extinguishers is provided.
CO2 - Carbon Dioxide Dry Chem - Extinguisher suitable for fighting Class A, B, or C fires
Halon
Detectors - The type of detectors is indicated. FC is used to denote full area or zone coverage by detectors. PC indicates partial coverage. The portions of the area or zone equipped with partial coverage are described in the text section which follows each data sheet and on the figures depicting each fire area and zone.
HNP-FHA-5 5-4 REV 28 11/10 5.8 Fire Resistance Rating (Construction) 5.8.1 Walls The material of construction and the ratings for the area or zone boundaries are listed in an abbreviated format. The abbreviations used are as follows:
Materials:
C - concrete (minimum 8-in. thickness)
B - concrete block S - steel or sheet steel SR - sheetrock (gypsum board) H - PROMAT-H Ratings 3 h rated 2 h rated 1 h rated NR - Nonrated
An example of the format used on the data sheet is:
N,S,W-C/3;E-B/3,NR This is interpreted as; north, south and west boundaries are constructed of concrete and are 3-h rated. The east wall is constructed of concrete block. A portion of this wall is 3-h rated and a portion is nonrated. The specifics of walls, which are partially rated or are constructed of more than one material, are provided in the text section.
5.8.2 Floors, Ceiling, or Roof Only the material of construction is provided on the data sheet for floors and ceilings. Their ratings are discussed in the text section.
5.8.3 Fixed Openings Openings such as hatches and open stairwells and openings in walls, floors, or ceilings are listed as fixed openings in the rated fire barriers. The following abbreviations are used:
HNP-FHA-5 5-5 REV 28 11/10 Fixed Openings Legend OS = open stairwell or ladder OP = opening OD = open doorway CH = concrete hatch OH = open or grated hatch MH = metal hatch SG = seismic gap M = manhole SD = smoke damper The fire area or zone with which the fixed opening communicates is also listed. As an illustration, OH/1101 indicates an open hatch that communicates with fire area 1101.
5.8.4 Penetrations Penetrations are addressed in the text for fire areas only. Penetrations, which are rated equal to or greater than the penetrated structure, are not specifically noted. Those penetrations that deviate from rating requirements or standard configurations in any way are evaluated under the criteria discussed in appendix I of this report.
Each penetration is assigned an alphanumeric designator that conforms to the following structure:
Fire Protection MPL Fire Protection Penetration Unit No. (Unit 1 if Common) Sequential No. 1 U 43 H 001 A Building Code Floor Elevation T = Reactor A = 087 ft U = Turbine B = 103 ft V = Radwaste C = 112 ft X = Other D = 130 ft Y = Diesel Generator E = 132 ft Z = Control F = 147 ft G = 148 ft H = 158 ft J = 164 ft K = 180/185 ft L = 203 ft M = 228 ft HNP-FHA-5 5-6 REV 28 11/10 5.8.5 Doors All of the doors that serve the area or zone are listed in the following manner: Fire-rated class area or zone number (I.D.). The following abbreviations are used for listings and class.
NR = nonrated door L = nonrated, bullet-resistant door A = Class A fire door (3-h fire-resistance rating)
B = Class B fire door (1 1/2-h fire-resistance rating)
C = Class C fire door (3/4-h fire-resistance rating)
W = Watertight door - nonrated X = Class A equivalent fire door
For example, A/1104 indicates a Class A door to fire area 1104; WX/1005 indicates a nonrated, watertight door for which an exemption from the requirement for a Class A door has been granted.

SECTION 9.0 APPENDICES
HNP-FHA-9 9.8-H-1 REV 31 9/13 APPENDIX H APPLICATION OF NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) CODES 1.0 GENERAL The fire detection and suppression systems were installed at Plant Hatch following the special hazards design basis technique allowed by the National Fire Protection Association codes. This technique utilized a combination of NFPA 13, 15, 72A, 72B, 72C, 72D, and 72E to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the system to limit the fire hazard at Plant Hatch and to take into account the unique structural configuration and protection problems inherent in a power plant.
These codes and regulations are basically tailored for protection of rooms or areas with relatively regular surfaces and features. This is a situation seldom realized in the highly congested conditions encountered in the majority of the rooms in a power plant. In recognition of such conditions and of the special hazards encountered in a nuclear power plant, sound engineering judgment must be exercised in the design and installation of its fire protection systems rather than routine, absolute compliance with rules which are not always appropriate to the situation.
Occasionally, minor deviations from the codes, principally in sprinkler head or detector placement relative to the ceiling, must be taken because of congestion; e.g., cable trays, piping, ducting, in the area of a suppression system. Such deviations are taken only when they will result in equal or superior protection to that which would result from an inflexible conformance to codes or regulations, if such were possible.
2.0 SPECIFIC CODE DEVIATIONS The following paragraphs outline certain general code deviations that have been necessary in past installations of fire protection systems. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of these deviations from NFPA codes was granted in the October 1978 or April 1982 Safety Evaluation Report. Each of the following paragraphs contains a justification for the requested code deviation.
2.1 DEPARTURE FROM NFPA 13, 14, AND 15 WITH RESPECT TO HANGER SELECTION AND SPACING NFPA criteria governing the hanger design, selection, and spacing criteria for fire suppression systems outlined in NFPA 13, 14, and 15 do not provide for a seismic hanger support system.
In order to achieve the necessary system integrity for a Class 1 support system, the piping configuration is subjected to a sophisticated rigid analysis for hanger location. The type of hanger assemblies required to withstand the excessive loads and movement above NFPA allowances results in each hanger assembly as a unique design requirement. The resulting installation is an engineered system of superior integrity as opposed to the generalized HNP-FHA-9 9.8-H-2 REV 31 9/13 instructions set forth by NFPA for such structures as warehouse, health care facilities, and general office structures.
It is, therefore, necessary to depart from these codes for pipe supports.
2.2 DEPARTURE FROM NFPA 13, 14, AND 15 WITH RESPECT TO COMPONENT SELECTION The NFPA codes specify the use of components listed for fire service by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). Components listed by UL are used to the extent practicable, but not all components are UL listed.
UL does not list every component utilized in the fire protection systems. In selected cases, more stringent operability requirements, contrary to fire protection desires, dictate the selection of nuclear grade devices. However, in each case, an engineering evaluation is performed to ensure all criteria are satisfied prior to the final selection.
Closed head directional spray nozzles are utilized because of the ability of the nozzle to deliver better water dispersion with the excessive congestion that exists. The directional spray nozzles were reviewed by the NRC and accepted for use in the subject utility during the initial Fire Protection Reevaluation. Additional considerations for head selection included overspray control for equipment and devices not involved with the specific hazard.
The component selection is judged equal to or better than NFPA guidelines due to the ability to provide water coverage and protection for the hazard while controlling water overspray and flooding potential.
Multibushing reductions are used in a limited number of cases due to nonavailable American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) A-234 forged steel reducing fittings and excessive congestion for the pipe runs. Flow capability and pressure retention are verified at the conclusion of installation by flow test and hydrostatic pressure tests. In light of the quality control provisions required for this facility, fabrication material, acceptance testing, and frequency of inspection, each system is judged superior in quality and exceeds the provisions set forth by NFPA guidelines.
2.3 DEPARTURES FROM NFPA 13 AND 15 WITH RESPECT TO SPRINKLER HEAD/NOZZLE PLACEMENT Sprinkler head/nozzle placement does not follow NFPA 13 and 15 criteria in all locations.
Deviations exist where congestion will not allow placement of the device within NFPA allowable tolerances. An engineering analysis (as permitted by the special hazards philosophy discussed in the NFPA codes) is performed on each head/nozzle that cannot be located per NFPA guidelines. This analysis is performed on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the system performance meets or exceeds NFPA criteria. As a result of excessive congestion of ductwork, trays, and piping, sprinkler head placement was selected for water distribution requirements, head obstruction, heat stratification, and heat banking to ensure timely delivery of a sufficient head flux level so the sprinkler head actuates. In addition, the sprinkler densities and the HNP-FHA-9 9.8-H-3 REV 31 9/13 selection of lower operating temperature elements, which exceed the minimum directions provided by NFPA, were incorporated to maintain acceptable time lag for suppression system operation.
In view of the material presented above, the system departures from NFPA are judged equal or better than the location criteria outlined for conventional structures through the applicable sections of NFPA 13 and 15.
2.4 DEPARTURES FROM NFPA 72E WITH RESPECT TO DETECTOR PLACEMENT Smoke/heat/fire detector placement does not follow NFPA 72E criteria in all locations. The location of each detector utilized several variables, such as smoke and heat stratification, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) airflow(s), ceiling congestion, distance from floor to ceiling, as well as the building's configuration and the manufacturer's recommendations (as instructed by NFPA 72E) when placing the detectors. Detectors are placed per NFPA 72E, when the engineering analysis provides an acceptable system performance. The NRC recognizes the lack of solid criteria provided by NFPA 72E, as well as the limited state-of-the-art knowledge in fire detection equipment and location. In view of this art of detection, the detection equipment and installation are judged as equal to the NFPA 72E series with respect to installed equipment.
2.5 DEPARTURES FROM NFPA 13, 14, 15, AND 20 WITH RESPECT TO WELDING PROVISIONS Exemption is taken from the no welding provisions of NFPA 13, 14, 15, and 20. Justification for this exemption resides in the controls required for hot work activities, which are in accordance with other NFPA guidelines. These controls and the requirements for Seismic Class 1 installation and restricted movement during modification or maintenance activities often require welded assemblies. These features, in conjunction with the fire watch and extensive training of site personnel, assure that potential fire conditions are controlled in an acceptable manner.
2.6 DEPARTURES FROM NFPA 20 WITH RESPECT TO ELECTRIC FIRE PUMP CONTROLLERS The applicable guidelines for the electric fire pump motor and controller are found in Chapter 7 of NFPA No. 20. Information is provided below which demonstrates how the HNP fire pump motor and controls meet each of the requirements of the corresponding numbered part of Chapter 7 of NFPA No. 20.

7-6.4 The pressure switch and the switchgear breaker are located in separate buildings.
7-6.5 The control voltage is from the Class IE station battery system.
7-6.6 There are bus potential indicating lights in the MCR to indicate potential on all three phases of the switchgear bus to which the electric fire pump is connected. The control power for these indicating lamps comes from the secondary winding of the bus potential transformers.
7-6.7 Necessary provisions are made in the switchgear construction to protect personnel from accidental contact with high voltage.
7-6.8 The circuit breaker provided is capable of interrupting a short circuit on the load side of the breaker.
7-7 Not applicable.
2.7 DEPARTURES FROM NFPA 13 WITH RESPECT TO NAMEPLATE REQUIREMENTS Exception is taken to the requirement of NFPA 13:7-1.2 to supply each hydraulically calculated automatic sprinkler system riser with a nameplate denoting the location and design basis of the sprinkler system. This exception is based upon the following measures which generate familiarity with established fire-fighting systems and more than compensate for the absence of nameplates.
- 1. Plant Hatch is a private facility staffed with trained fire-fighting personnel who are knowledgable of the plant's automatic water suppression apparatus.
HNP-FHA-9 9.8-H-7 REV 31 9/13 2. All information required for nameplates is readily available in the Plant Hatch document control system.
- 3. Fire drills and surveillances are conducted regularly.
2.8 DEPARTURE FROM NFPA 20 WITH RESPECT TO FUEL SUPPLY TO FIRE PUMPS Exception is taken to the requirement of NFPA 20:8-4.4 to provide separation of fuel supply to multiple fire pumps. The fire pump fuel supply at Plant Hatch uses separate tanks and lines that are joined by a common crossover line with an isolation valve. The isolation valve is normally locked closed, thus providing effective separation between the two fuel supply systems. Each tank and fuel supply line system is dedicated to the pump it directly supplies. The crossover line provides an added measure of security to the fuel supply system in the event of an interruption of fuel supply to either of the fire pumps. Since separation of fuel supply is the normal operating mode and the crossover acts only as a contingency in case of emergency, the system at Plant Hatch is compatible with NFPA 20:8-4.4.
2.9 DEPARTURE FROM NFPA 24 WITH RESPECT TO HYDRANT OUTLET HEIGHT (ABOVE GRADE OR SLAB SURFACE) Exemption is taken for the minimum distance requirements for hydrant outlets from grade or slab surface as indicated in NFPA 24:4-3.3. The requirement is intended to guarantee unobstructed hose access to the outlet connection. Some of the hydrants at Plant Hatch do not fully comply with the minimum distance specified in the NFPA code.
However, according to Plant Hatch fire protection engineering response to AIT
- RC9600072, field trials demonstrate that all applicable hydrants are functionally compliant with the intent of NFPA 24.
2.10 DEPARTURE FROM NFPA 80 WITH RESPECT TO FUSIBLE LINKS Exemption is taken for the installation of fusible links on both sides of sliding doors as indicated in NFPA 80:4-6.3 (1983 edition). The requirement is intended to ensure a fire on either side of the sliding door would close the fire door and contain the fire spread. Some of the sliding doors at Plant Hatch do not fully comply with the requirement to have a fusible link on both sides of the door as specified in the NFPA code. However, according to DOEJ-HRLDCR2011067, which is attached to LDCR 2011-067 and TE 297827 and TE 297831 as a non-QA record (in Documentum as Doc ID RE203108429 and Doc ID RE203108430), the single-sided fusible links are deemed acceptable.
HNP-FHA-9 9.9-I-1 REV 28 11/10 EVALUATION OF NON-RATED PENETRATION SEALS IN RATED FIRE BARRIERS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
AND SCOPE Section III.G.2 of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 provides prescriptive measures for the protection of cables or equipment of redundant systems necessary to achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions when located in the same fire area. In generic letter 86-10, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) defined a fire area as "an area sufficiently bounded to withstand the hazards associated with the area and, as necessary, to protect important equipment within the area from a fire outside the area."
In general, this definition is met by designing the boundaries (walls, floors, and ceilings) of the fire area as rated fire barriers with all penetrations sealed with a fire resistance rating equal to or greater than that of the barrier. However, where the fire area boundaries are not completely sealed wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling, the NRC states that the licensee may perform an evaluation to determine if the boundaries will withstand the hazards associated with the area.
Plant Hatch maintains a program to document the integrity of its existing fire barriers and to evaluate the need to upgrade additional walls for compliance with Appendix R. This program includes a field verification of each fire barrier penetration to document type, location, and conformance to design criteria. Exception reports are generated for any penetrations not properly sealed or where the fire resistance rating cannot be verified.
These reports evaluate each penetration to determine the effect on the fire-rated barrier.
2.0 METHODOLOGY The evaluation of the acceptability of an unrated penetration in a fire-rated barrier is based on the likelihood of significant propagation of heat (radiant, conductive, or convective) through the penetration. Such an evaluation is usually qualitative and is dependent upon such factors as size and location of the penetration, type, and location of combustible materials, the fire protection features provided to detect or suppress fires, and the relative location of safe shutdown components.
3.0 ANALYSIS The detailed deviation analyses for all excepted penetrations are located in calculation SMNH 98-023, a dynamic record of evaluation. Any penetration configurations that do not conform to documented testing criteria for the specific barrier rating are included in this calculation. Penetrations that are upgraded from an excepted condition to an acceptable configuration supported by testing documentation are removed from the calculation. The calculation may include, but is not limited to, the following criteria for establishing a reasonable deviation analysis for each excepted seal configuration:
- Identification of the penetration configuration by MPL number HNP-FHA-9 9.9-I-2 REV 28 11/10
- Identification of the fire-rated barrier (including location, rating, and fire zone numbers)
- Reference drawing numbers
- Area fire protection features (including automatic suppression/detection systems, fire loading, and fire severity determination)
The deviation analysis criteria are used to establish a qualitative argument demonstrating that the excepted seal does not compromise the rating of the barrier.
This argument is the basis for the exception.

HNP-FHA-10 10.2-2 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The north, south, east, and west walls of this area are reinforced concrete turbine building exterior walls and are nonrated. The walls around the main control room (MCR) (area 0024) are concrete and are 3-h rated, with the exception of the MCR west entryway, which is block and 3-h rated. The walls around the freight elevator and stairwell (area 0002) are block and 2-h rated. The east wall contains nonrated steam blowout panels communicating with areas 1205 and 2205 (see exemptions). There are four stairwells; two on the north end of the area (areas 1102 and 1103) and two on the south end (areas 2102 and 2103) which have block walls and are 2-h rated. There is a nonrated metal building outside the MCR on the south side enclosing the stairwell to area 0028. The floor is reinforced concrete with open hatches down to areas 1101 and 2101. There are also closed hatches to areas 2101, 1101, 0025, 1023, and 2023. The ceiling is reinforced concrete with smoke dampers. There are eight fire-rated Class A doors; five to area 0024, one to area 1203, and two to area 2301. There are six fire-rated Class B doors; two to area 0002, and one each to areas 2102, 2103, 1102, and 1103. There is a nonrated door in the metal building to 0028.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
The floor is considered an area boundary only for purposes of defining the open, common turbine operating deck, which is shared by both units, as a common area. Due to the hatches (down to areas 1101 and 2101), this floor is not rated. Defining this floor as a nonrated area boundary is acceptable, since:
A. Only areas 1101, 2101, and 0031 (MCR roof) communicate with or through this area. All of these areas rely on path 2 for safe shutdown. A rated barrier is not required between areas relying on the same path to achieve safe shutdown.
B. A fire is not expected to propagate from any adjacent area across the operating deck to any other areas due to the large amount of spatial separation of the propagation paths (hatches) and the arrangement of the fixed combustibles away from the propagation paths.
FIRE PROTECTION The turbine and generator bearings are provided with a fixed, manual water spray suppression system. Upon detection of high temperature, alarms annunciate both locally and in the MCR. The water spray is then manually activated after verification of a fire condition. The reactor feed pump rooms are provided with automatic water spray systems activated by the dry pilot portion of the system. The Unit 1 reactor feed pump turbine oil conditioner, located in this area, is also provided with an automatic water spray system activated by the dry pilot portion of the system.
Activation of the suppression systems results in an alarm in the MCR.
HNP-FHA-10 10.2-3 REV 28 11/10 FIRE PROTECTION (continued)
There are hose stations, a portable oil emulsion foam generator, portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers located throughout the area.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the section III.G.2 requirements of Appendix R has been approved for the nonrated steam blowout panels between this area and areas 1205 and 2205. Exemptions from the section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h fire barriers have been requested, as is documented in appendix C of this document for:
- The nonrated metal hatches in the floor of this area to areas 1023 and 2023.
- The nonrated parapet walls and open ceiling between this area and area 0031.
- The nonrated metal stairwell enclosure around the stairs from this area to area 0028.
- The nonrated steam blowout panels between this area and area 1205.
However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire on the turbine operating floor would be associated with localized and widely separated concentrations of combustibles. Oil hazards associated with the turbine-generator bearings and the reactor feed pumps are equipped with automatic or manual water spray systems. There is no areawide detection, however, a fire would be identified in its early stages by the normal occupancy and high traffic flow. The high ceiling and large separation between concentrations of combustibles preclude flashover. The available firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish a fire in this area. The open hatchways in the floor create a fire propagation possibility to the adjacent areas; however, the absence of any intervening combustibles between this area and the adjacent areas, the low combustible loading and substantial wall and floor construction preclude the propagation of the fire beyond this area. There are no fire hazards in the yard areas outside of the turbine building sufficient to breach the nonrated but substantially constructed exterior walls.
A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The ceiling contains numerous smoke venting dampers. There are two stairwells (areas 1102 and 1103) in the north end of this zone. The stairs are enclosed by block walls which provide a 2-h fire barrier. There are smoke dampers in the ceiling of each stairwell.
The main equipment hatch in the northeast corner is open to zone 1101J below. In addition, there are several concrete covered hatches accessing zones 1101J, 1101K, and 1101M below and metal hatches accessing areas 0025 and 1023 below. Nonrated steam blowout panels are located in the east wall, communicating with area 1205 (see exemptions in area 0101). See area 0101 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone is equipped with two water spray systems. Generator bearings are provided with a manually actuated water spray system that is activated by operations personnel upon verification of a fire following a thermostat detector alarm. The reactor feed pump oil conditioner is provided with curbing to contain any oil spills to the immediate vicinity of the conditioner and an automatic water spray suppression system, activated by the dry pilot portion of the system.
Activation of the water spray results in an alarm both locally and in the MCR.
In addition, there is a portable oil emulsion foam generator in the zone and there are hose stations and portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers located throughout the zone.

The west wall is the nonrated, reinforced concrete turbine building exterior wall. The ceiling of the zone is open up the turbine building roof. The floor is nonrated, reinforced concrete. There is one nonrated door in the south wall to zone 0101A. There are also two nonrated doors in the north wall accessing zone 0101A. There are several open and covered concrete hatches which access area 1101 below this zone. See area 0101 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The turbine bearings are provided with a manually actuated water spray system. Thermostats provide an alarm in the MCR and, after verification of a fire, the system can be activated by operations personnel. Manual firefighting equipment in the zone consists of hose stations.
Portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers are available in adjacent zone 0101A.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The main combustible in this zone is lube oil which is concentrated at the turbine bearings. The turbine bearings are equipped with thermostats, which alarm both locally and in the MCR. Upon verification of a fire, operations personnel will initiate manual actuation of the bearing water spray systems to suppress or control a fire. In the event of a seal or lube oil piping rupture and a subsequent fire, there is a potential threat of fire propagation to the adjacent zone (0101A) and area 1101 below (zones 1101J, 1101K); however, early warning (provided by thermostats, seal or lube oil low pressure alarms) and prompt response by the plant fire brigade are expected to prevent fire propagation. Other combustibles in the zone are limited and widely separated and could potentially result in only small localized fires.
Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area or to area 1101 will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

Actuation of the dry pilot portion of the system results in an alarm both locally and in the MCR which ensures prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The walls surrounding this zone are of sufficient construction to contain the design basis fire. The heated combustion products will leave the zone through the open ceiling. Due to the high ceiling and very large volume of the turbine building along with the smoke dampers in the roof, significant dilution of the hot gases will occur and prevent propagation of the fire outside the zone.

There is a nonrated door in the east wall to zone 0101F and there are two nonrated doors in the west wall to zone 0101H.
There is one nonrated bulletproof door in series with fire-rated Class A rollup door in the south wall to area 0024. A suspended ceiling is located at approximately el 172 ft. See area 0101 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone has full coverage heat detectors which provide an early warning alarm in the adjacent MCR. The zone contains no automatic suppression system; however, portable dry chemical and CO2 fire extinguishers are available in nearby zones 0101F and 0101E, respectively. Hose stations able to reach this zone are located at the control building freight elevator and at the east turbine building wall immediately outside zone 0101E.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The heat detectors located in this zone are expected to detect the combustion products from an incipient fire and provide early warning in the adjacent MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade, members of which are constantly on duty in adjacent zone 0024C. The high combustible loading and nonrated east and west walls present a threat that the design basis fire may propagate to adjacent zones 0101F and 0101H. However, presence of the shift personnel in adjacent zone 0101H and continuous traffic in adjacent zones 0101F and 0024C provides a high probability of detection and suppression of a fire in its early stages. A fire in the tightly stacked Class A materials will develop slowly and ensure ample time for response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual fire equipment is adequate to extinguish the fire.
In addition, propagation of a fire to other zones in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

The zone contains three nonrated doors which access zone 0101J. There are several open and covered hatches which access area 2101 below. See area 0101 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The turbine bearings are provided with a manually actuated water spray system. Thermostats provide an alarm in the MCR and, after verification of a fire, the system can be activated by operations personnel. In addition, hose stations are provided in the zone.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The main combustible in this zone is lube oil which is concentrated at the turbine bearings. The turbine bearings are equipped with heat detectors which alarm in the MCR. Upon verification of a fire, operating personnel will initiate manual actuation of the bearing water spray system to suppress or control a fire. In the event of a lube or seal oil piping rupture and subsequent fire, there is a potential for fire propagation to the adjacent zone 0101J and area 2101 below (zones 2101J & 2101K); however, early warning (provided by heat detectors, seal or lube-oil low pressure alarms) and prompt response by the plant fire brigade could prevent fire propagation.
The other combustibles in the zone are limited and widely separated and potentially result in only small localized fires.
Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area, or to area 2101 will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

HNP-FHA-10 10.2-24 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The east, south, and west walls are reinforced, nonrated concrete turbine building exterior walls.
There is a partial height nonrated, reinforced concrete wall around zones 0101I, 0101K, and 0101L. The north wall borders the MCR and is reinforced concrete and 3-h rated. There is an open passageway which accesses zone 0101A on the east side of this zone. There are five nonrated doors, three accessing zone 0101I and one each accessing zones 0101K and 0101L.
There are two fire-rated Class A doors accessing area 2301. There are two stairwells (areas 2102 and 2103) enclosed by walls constructed partially of block and partially of concrete which provide a 2-h fire barrier. The stairwell ceilings are concrete and are provided with smoke dampers. Access to the stairwells is obtained through a fire-rated Class B door to each. The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The ceiling is open up to the turbine building roof and contains numerous smoke venting dampers. There is an open equipment hatch which accesses zone 2101J below. In addition, there are several concrete hatches which access zone 2101J below. A metal hatch accesses area 2023 below. There is a nonrated metal enclosure containing a nonrated door around the stairwell to area 0028. Nonrated steam blowout panels are located in the east wall, communicating with area 2205 (see exemptions in area 0101). See area 0101 for penetrations. FIRE PROTECTION This zone is equipped with a fixed water spray system at the generator bearings. The system is manually actuated by operations personnel upon verification of a fire following a thermostat detector alarm. Activation of the detectors or water spray results in both a local and MCR alarm.
In addition, there are hose stations and portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers in the zone. A portable oil emulsion foam generator is located in adjacent zone 0101A and is available for use in this zone.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire on the turbine operating floor would be associated with localized and widely separated concentrations of combustibles. Oil hazards associated with the generator bearings are equipped with a manual water spray system. There is no areawide detection; however, a fire may be identified in its early stages by plant personnel. The high ceiling and large separation between concentrations of combustibles preclude flashover. The ceiling smoke vents are expected to open to further dilute any products of combustion. The available firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish a fire in this zone. The open hatchways in the floor create a fire propagation possibility to the adjacent zones and areas; however, the absence of any intervening combustibles between this zone and the adjacent zones and areas, the low

Activation of the dry pilot portion of the system results in an alarm both locally and in the MCR which ensures prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The walls surrounding this zone are of sufficient construction to contain the design basis fire. The heated combustion products will leave the zone through the open ceiling. Due to the high ceiling and very large volume of the turbine building, along with the smoke dampers in the roof, significant dilution of the hot gases will occur and prevent propagation of the fire outside the zone.

HNP-FHA-10 10.3-2 REF 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The boundaries of the area are the reactor building exterior walls which are constructed of prefabricated concrete panels with a minimum thickness of 8 in. The portions of the west wall adjacent to the reactor building stairwells are 3-h rated. A fire-rated Class B door is provided to area 1203 (stairwell). The airlock to the Unit 2 reactor building stairwell on the west side of this area contains a fire-rated Class A door to the stairwell (area 2203) and a nonrated door to the outside. The floor is the airtight refueling deck. The floor is considered an area boundary only for purposes of defining the open, common refueling floor, which is shared by both units, as a common area (see exemptions). The floor area includes the spent-fuel pool, dryer/separator storage pools, etc. The floor contains numerous sealed hatches and a stairwell in each unit, enclosed by nonrated concrete block "doghouses." Each "doghouse" contains a nonrated access door and two tornado vent assemblies in its roof. The roof of this area is concrete and contains numerous tornado vent assemblies. A nonrated vault-type door accesses the outside.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been exempted or evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION This area contains hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers. It contains no detection or automatic suppression systems.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS Requests for exemption from the section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h barriers have been submitted as documented in appendix C of this document for:
- The openings from 0201 to the Unit 2 stairwell, zone 2203I.
- The fire-rated Class B door to the Unit 1 stairwell, zone 1203I.
- The nonrated refueling floor itself.
- The nonrated access stairwell "doghouses."
However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
HNP-FHA-10 10.3-3 REF 28 11/10 CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area contains an insignificant loading of combustible materials, but the design basis fire for the area is conservatively assumed to result in the loss of the safe shutdown circuits contained in the area. The low fire loading results in a maximum fire duration of less than 5 min. The floor itself is designated as a nonrated area boundary for the purpose of separating the common refuel floor from the balance of the Unit 1 and Unit 2 reactor buildings. The limiting propagation path for a design basis fire from another fire area adjacent to the floor is the nonrated "doghouses" enclosing the access stairwells. The limiting design basis fire for the doghouses would occur in area 1205 and is approximately 30 min in duration. The doghouses are constructed to easily withstand this exposure without loss of structural integrity. Any limited propagation of combustion products through the doghouses would be sufficiently diluted in the large volume of the refuel floor that no significant hazard exists. Therefore, the substantial construction of the reactor building exterior walls and roof and the refuel floor preclude the propagation of the design basis fire beyond the boundaries of this area. The available manual firefighting equipment in the area is adequate to extinguish any fires which might occur.
The area contains radioactive materials which, if involved in the design basis fire, are expected to remain confined to the area due to the substantial construction. No significant radioactive releases are considered credible for a fire in this area. A fire in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

HNP-FHA-10 10.5-2 REV 30 9/12 CONSTRUCTION The intake structure is constructed of nonrated, reinforced concrete with a grated "ceiling" over the strainer pit portion on the south side of the area. There are also grating sections between the main floor and the pump suction area. There are open penetrations throughout the walls and floors, particularly the north and south walls.
There is a nonrated door located in the east wall and in the west wall. Steel spray barriers are installed between the plant service water and residual heat removal service water (RHRSW) sections of the building, between the Unit 1 and Unit 2 RHRSW sections and between each redundant set of pumps. This ensures that, in the event of a pump fire, the fixed automatic suppression system will cause no water damage to any adjacent, redundant pumps. Concrete curbs have been installed around each redundant set of RHRSW pumps for each unit to contain any oil spills to the localized area around each pump set. This area is separated by greater than 50 ft from all other areas of the plant and thus does not present an exposure fire hazard to any other areas. There are therefore no penetrations to adjacent areas.
FIRE PROTECTION Each of the 16 large pumps in this area is equipped with a fixed automatic water spray system, directly over the pump motors. As described above, spray barriers are installed between redundant paths of each unit's pumps to prevent water damage to the adjacent pumps in the event of a pump fire or inadvertent spray actuation. Thermal detectors are installed throughout the interior portion of the area, as are portable CO2 fire extinguishers and hose stations for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the requirements of Section III.G.2 of Appendix R has been granted for this area per the April 1984 NRC Safety Evaluation Report based on existing fire protection and on a low combustible loading.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The technical requirements of Section III.G.2 are not met in this area because of the absence of an areawide automatic fire suppression system. In addition, the fire barriers between the pumps and MCCs are not 1-h fire rated.
The fire protection requirements of Section III.G of Appendix R represent an aggregate, comprised of active and passive components. They act synergistically to achieve an acceptable level of fire safety. In this area, active protection has been provided in the form of a complete thermal detection system. This system will provide reasonable assurance of early fire awareness and response by operating personnel and the plant fire brigade.
HNP-FHA-10 10.5-3 REV 30 9/12 CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE (continued)
Additional protection is provided in the river intake structure by the water spray system over the pump motors. Passive protection is achieved by physical separation of redundant divisions by open spaces without intervening combustibles, by partial height barriers to protect the safety components, or by complete 1-h fire rated barriers.
The fire loading in this location is low. Storage of any transient combustible materials in this area is procedurally prohibited. The primary combustibles are cable insulation in trays and oil in pump sumps. The majority of the cables have been provided with fire resistive wrap, specifically for the purpose of reducing the combustible loading in this area. Ignition of the oil in closed sumps is extremely unlikely. If the combustibles were totally consumed, they would produce a fire which corresponds to a fire severity of less than 15 min; but this fire would be unlikely to occur because of the existing level of fire protection.
Therefore, a fire, if one should occur, would not be significant and would not breach the protection provided by the physical fire barriers until the fire self-extinguished or was suppressed by the plant fire brigade. Hence, a fire in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in any release of radioactivity.

HNP-FHA-10 10.6-2 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The waste gas treatment building is constructed of solid, reinforced concrete. The exterior walls are typically a minimum of 4 ft thick, except the portion of the west wall in the operating and access room, which is approximately 3 ft thick. All walls are nonrated but contain essentially no penetrations. The floor is concrete base slab, and the roof is reinforced, nonrated concrete.
Three building access doors are provided, all nonrated in each of the north, west, and south walls. Since this area is not important to safe shutdown and is located away from any other areas, penetrations are not sealed.
FIRE PROTECTION This area contains no automatic suppression or detection systems. Manual firefighting equipment in this area includes hose stations, portable CO2 fire extinguishers, and portable dry chemical fire extinguishers throughout the area.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area is assumed to result in the loss of all equipment in the building. However, there is no safe shutdown equipment in the area. The exceptionally substantial construction of the building is expected to contain the design basis fire to this area.
If propagation outside of the area did occur, the only other plant area within 50 ft of the building is the plant stack. The stack is approximately 40 ft away with few intervening combustibles and also contains no safe shutdown equipment. Thus, the design basis fire for this area will not have an adverse effect on the ability to safely shut down either unit or result in a significant release of radioactivity. In addition, it is expected that, if a fire did occur in the building, the plant operators would receive high temperature alarms in the main control room (MCR) for the various waste gas streams. Once the fire was detected in this way, prompt response by the plant fire brigade, using the available manual firefighting equipment, would quickly extinguish the fire.

HNP-FHA-10 10.6-4 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The walls, floor, and ceiling of the zone are constructed of reinforced concrete of substantial thickness (typically 3 ft). Interior walls are similar but contain open floor and wall penetrations.
The walls surrounding the charcoal adsorber rooms (zones 0601B and 0601C) are approximately 4 ft thick and contain very limited penetrations. The roof contains numerous equipment hatches closed with concrete hatch covers. The interior doors to zones 0601B, 0601C, and the building access doors located in the north, west, and south walls are nonrated.
See area 0601 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone contains hose stations, portable CO2 fire extinguishers, and portable dry chemical fire extinguishers. No automatic suppression or detection systems are contained in the zone.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this zone primarily involves cable insulation which is predominately IEEE-383 qualified. The other combustible materials are concentrated in widely separated sections of the zone. The design basis fire is, therefore, expected to develop slowly and propagation from room to room is unlikely. Since no combustibles are concentrated near the adsorber room walls (the walls are of substantial construction with limited penetrations and the primary combustible in the adsorber rooms is charcoal contained in steel vessels), the design basis fire is not expected to propagate to the other zones of area 0601. Although the zone contains no detection system, it is expected that the MCR operators will become aware of any fire in this zone via high temperature alarms for the various waste gas streams routed through the zone. Detection of the fire in this way will result in prompt response to and extinguishment of the fire by the plant fire brigade using the available manual firefighting equipment.

HNP-FHA-10 10.6-6 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION This zone is constructed of reinforced, nonrated concrete, approximately 4 ft thick, with very limited penetrations. The floor is concrete base slab and the ceiling is reinforced concrete with concrete covered hatches for equipment removal. A nonrated door, enclosed in a concrete entranceway, provides access to the zone. See area 0601 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no fire protection equipment in this zone; however, manual firefighting equipment is located in adjacent zone 0601A.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The probability of ignition of the charcoal in the gas adsorber vessels is low since ignition sources exterior to the vessel must be of high enough energy to breach the steel vessel walls and high energy sources are not normally in this zone. A mechanistic self ignition of the charcoal caused by radioactive decay is not likely; however, assuming ignition, the rate of heat release would be low due to the burning characteristics of charcoal. There are six vessels in the zone. Full involvement of the charcoal can occur only by passing from one vessel to another in series. Each vessel houses sufficient charcoal to sustain a fire of approximately 1-h severity per the standard time-temperature curve. This exposure is not likely to breach the steel vessels. If a rupture of a vessel were to occur, the substantial construction enclosing the zone would preclude propagation to other zones. The ignition of the charcoal would result in a high temperature alarm condition for various waste gas streams. Action by the plant fire brigade could include isolation of the affected vessels by closing valves resulting in smothering the fire (preferred) or the introduction of water into the vessel to extinguish the fire.

FIRE PROTECTION Portable CO2 fire extinguishers are located in this area. There are no automatic detection or suppression systems in this area. Yard hydrants are available near the area for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Due to the negligible combustible loading and the substantial, nonrated construction of the main stack structure, the design basis fire for this area is expected to remain confined to the area.
The design basis fire is assumed to result in the loss of the equipment in the stack, but will not affect any other plant areas due to the large (Greater than 40 ft) separation of this area from other areas. The design basis fire for this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

FIRE PROTECTION This area is equipped with a full coverage automatic dry pipe sprinkler system. In addition, dry chemical and portable CO2 fire extinguishers and a fire hydrant, located outside the building, are provided for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area contains no Unit 1 or Unit 2 safe shutdown equipment and does not present a fire exposure hazard to any other plant areas. A fire in this area may involve the release of small amounts of radioactive material if the building perimeter was breached, due to surface contamination of the combustible contents. However, the automatic suppression system is expected to quickly extinguish any fire which may occur. A fire for this area is, therefore, unlikely to breach the building perimeter and will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

The floor is reinforced concrete base slab and the ceiling is 3-h-rated, reinforced concrete. Penetrations in the area boundaries are equal to or greater than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION This area contains no suppression or detection systems. Portable CO2 fire extinguishers and a hose station are located in the hall outside this area (zone 0007A).
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The primary combustible in this area is cable insulation which is predominantly IEEE-383 qualified. The design basis fire for this zone is, therefore, expected to develop slowly.
Propagation of the design basis fire from this area to zone 0007A is unlikely due to the rated walls with sealed penetrations. If propagation occurs, the fire is expected to be rapidly detected by the detection system in zone 0007A (smoke and linear thermal detection) extinguished by the plant fire brigade using the manual firefighting equipment in zone 0007A.

The top of the shaft is covered by a nonrated metal hatch cover (see exemptions).
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document analysis.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is equipped with full wet pipe sprinkler coverage. There is no manual firefighting equipment in the area. However, portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers and a hose station, located immediately outside this area, are available in area 0014. Since the only credible fire for this area is an oil fire with no incipient stage, an early warning detection system is not provided. Activation of the suppression system results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption was requested from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h-rated barriers for the nonrated hatches in the ceiling of this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The only significant fire that can be postulated for this area would be as a result of the ignition of the turbine lube oil or EHC fluid. The full coverage wet pipe sprinklers provide for rapid extinguishment of this type of fire. The rated or substantial construction of the area boundaries will contain the fire until it can be extinguished. Activation of the suppression system results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR, to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. In the event of a failure of the suppression system, the fire brigade can extinguish the fire using the available manual suppression in adjacent area 0014.

HNP-FHA-11 11.3-2 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The boundaries of this area are nonrated, reinforced concrete and steel exempted barriers (see exemptions). The torus and downcomers are steel, approximately 1-in. thick. All penetrations and doors to adjacent areas are nonrated and airtight.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier, have been exempted, or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no detection system, automatic suppression system, or manual firefighting equipment in the drywell. However, the drywell is inerted during power operation, thereby preventing fires from being ignited or sustained. A hose stream can be provided to all parts of this area using the hose stations located in areas 1205 and 1203, during nonpower operation.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS The drywell vessel and shield walls comprise a portion of the boundary between the north and south halves of the reactor building. This boundary, including the drywell walls, has been exempted from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete, 3-h-rated barriers per the April 1984 NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER).
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE During power operation, the drywell is inerted and a fire is not credible. A design basis fire in this area will, therefore, not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown. Per Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, no further protection is required. During periods when the drywell is not inerted (i.e.,
outages) a fire will not propagate to other fire areas due to the substantial construction and the low combustible loading. In the event of a fire during an outage, the high traffic in the drywell will ensure prompt detection of a fire in its early stages. Existing drywell temperature instruments may also be used for drywell fire detection. Fire detection by either means is expected to result in prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual firefighting equipment in the adjacent areas is adequate to extinguish the fire. The primary combustibles in this area are concentrated in four specific locations; in each of the two recirculation pumps and each of two cable penetration sections. Curbs are provided under each recirculation pump to contain any oil spills to the localized area of the pump, thereby preventing propagation of a pump lube oil fire throughout the area. The two cable penetration sections are on opposite sides of the area. Each section contains cables of predominantly one safe shutdown path. This separation provides assurance that damage to only one safe shutdown path will result from a fire in this area and that a fire originating in one cable penetration section will not propagate to the other.
Similarly, any radioactive materials contained in the area will be confined to the area in the event of a fire.

All the walls are concrete and 3-h rated. An elevator and open stairwell access lower elevation 203 ft of this area. A fire-rated class B door in the east wall accesses area 0201 and a nonrated door in the west wall accesses the turbine building roof.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier, have been exempted, or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION The area is equipped with wet pipe sprinkler systems which are designed to function as a fire propagation barrier to separate the south half of the reactor building (area 1203) from the north half (area 1205). These systems are described and defined in section 3.4 of this document.
These wet pipe systems are located in the east and west torus room on el 87 ft, in the east corridor on el 130 ft, on either side of the main steam chase on el 130 ft, and in the east corridor on el 158 ft. The ceiling of the 158-ft elevation east of column line RB is the 185-ft elevation reactor building working floor (area 1205). The hatchway penetrating this ceiling is equipped with a high density, fixed water spray suppression system around the hatch. The remainder of the 185-ft elevation working floor (with exception of the corridor south of the fuel pool) on the south half of the reactor building is equipped with a full coverage sprinkler system. The combination of sprinkler systems is designed to preclude propagation of a fire either up or down through the floor or hatch.
HNP-FHA-11 11.3-6 REV 28 11/10 FIRE PROTECTION (cont'd)
An additional wet pipe system is provided in the RCIC pump room. Linear thermal detectors are provided in the reactor building centerline suppression system sections on el 87 ft and the east reactor building centerline suppression system section on el 130 ft. Linear thermal detectors are also provided in the RHR pump room on el 87 ft and the CRD area on elevation 130 ft.
Smoke detectors are provided in the reactor building centerline suppression system section south of the main steam chase on el 130 ft, in the southeast corner of the area at el 130 ft and in the east reactor building centerline suppression system section on el 158 ft. Activation of the detection or suppression systems results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR.
There are hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers located throughout the area.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the Section III.G.2 requirements of Appendix R has been approved for the nonrated walls, openings (such as steam vents) and open areas separating this area from the north half of the reactor building for the nonrated steam blowout panel between this area and area 1101, and for the lack of areawide suppression coverage per the April 1984 NRC SER.
An exemption from Section III.G.2 requirements has been approved for certain safe shutdown components located under the reactor building centerline suppression system per the January 1987 NRC SER.
An exemption from Section III.G.2 requirements has been requested for the 1 1/2-h-rated doors between this area and areas 0201 and 1205, as is detailed in appendix C of this document.
However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
HNP-FHA-11 11.3-7 REV 28 11/10 CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The north half of the Unit 1 reactor building primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 2 and the south half primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 1. Path 1 systems that are located in the north half and path 2 systems that are located in the south half of the reactor building and are required for safe shutdown, are protected by a 1-h fire-rated barrier. All safe shutdown circuits in the reactor building centerline suppression system sections are protected by a 1-h fire-rated barrier.
The existing fire detection systems provide reasonable assurance that a fire will be detected in its initial stages before significant damage occurs. The fire will then be suppressed by the automatic systems or manually by the plant fire brigade before it represents a serious threat to safe shutdown systems. The fire suppression systems, fire barriers, the large open areas of the reactor building, and the existing spatial separation between redundant paths provide assurance that one path will remain free of fire damage.
Therefore, a fire in the north half of the Unit 1 reactor building will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

The east and west sides of the north boundary are open to adjacent area 1205. The west and south walls (along columnn lines RA and Rl3, respectively) are reinforced concrete and are 3-h fire barriers. The southeast, southwest, and east walls are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The ceiling and floor are also nonrated, reinforced concrete. There are concrete and metal covered hatches and steam vent openings in the ceiling which access zone 1203F above.
Area 1201, the drywell and torus, is separated from area 1203 in this zone by the nonrated steel torus vessel walls. See area 1203 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone is equipped with a partial coverage linear heat detection system and wet pipe sprinkler system along the openings accessing area 1205. In addition, hose stations and a CO2 fire extinguisher are provided for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The reactor building centerline suppression system sprinklers are designed to prevent fire propagation through the open sections of this zone along column line R7 to area 1205. The suppression system, low combustible loading, and substantial construction preclude propagation of a design basis fire to other adjacent zones or areas. Activation of the suppression or detection system results in an alarm both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual firefighting equipment is sufficient to extinguish the fire.

The east wall and the portion of the north wall around the drywell and personnel access area are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The remainder of the north boundary (northeast and northwest portions) is open to area 1205. The elevator (zone 1203I) and stairwell (zone 1203C) located in the southwest corner of this zone are enclosed in nonrated block structures with nonrated access doors. The floor and the ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The floor and ceiling inside the main steam chase portion of this zone contain nonrated steam vents to area 1205 above and zone 1203A below (see exemptions in area 1203). An open stairwell in the southeast corner communicates with zone 1203B. A fire-rated Class A door accesses the east cableway foyer of the control building (area 1105). A nonrated railroad airlock vault door and a nonrated door in the east wall communicate with the railroad airlock (area 1604). Nonrated, concrete covered equipment hatches penetrate the floor and ceiling and a large open hatch in the ceiling communicates with zone 1203K. A nonrated steam blowout panel to area 1101 is located in the west wall of the zone (see exemptions in area l203). See area 1203 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION Linear thermal and smoke detection systems provide alarms both locally and in the MCR for the entire zone except the main steam chase and above adjacent to area 1604. A wet pipe reactor building centerline suppression system is installed to separate the reactor building into two halves (areas 1203 and 1205). The portion of the suppression system in this zone extends approximately 20 ft south of R7 on the east side of the drywell and extends from the main steam chase to the southwest stairwell enclosure. This zone contains no other automatic suppression system. In addition, hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers are located in this zone.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This zone has a moderate combustible loading and substantial fire barriers which are expected to prevent propagation to adjacent zones and areas. Fire propagation possibilities are greatest at the nonrated east wall to the railroad airlock (area 1604) and at the stairwells and floor and ceiling hatches. However, the moderate combustible loading and minimal amounts of intervening combustibles greatly reduce this possibility. The railroad airlock door is constructed of solid steel, approximately 1 in. thick. The east wall is a reactor building exterior wall constructed of reinforced concrete a minimum of 8 in. thick. Propagation through the stairwells and hatches would have no adverse impact on safe shutdown since it would affect only other zones of fire area 1203. The detection system ensures rapid detection and prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available firefighting equipment in this zone is adequate to extinguish the fire.

FIRE PROTECTION Portable CO2 fire extinguishers are located in this zone. Hose stations are accessible from the reactor building at all elevations except 203 ft. The zone contains no detection or automatic suppression systems.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The low combustible loading and substantial, rated concrete wall construction of this zone preclude the propagation of fire to adjacent zones. The only credible propagation which may occur is into the base of the stairwell from a design basis fire in zone 1203F. This propagation is acceptable since all redundant safe shutdown circuits throughout area 1203 are protected as required. Although there are no automatic detection or suppression systems, this zone is a high traffic area. Prompt detection by plant personnel and prompt response by the plant fire brigade using the available firefighting equipment are adequate to contain the fire.

The south wall is a steel and fire resistant material composite and is a 3-h-rated fire barrier. There is a nonrated door in the west wall which accesses zone 1203I. The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. There is an open equipment hatch which accesses zone 1203F below and area 1205 above. The ceiling of this zone serves as the area boundary between area 1203 and 1205. To ensure that propagation of a fire through this boundary does not occur, the majority of the el 185-ft south floor is covered by a wet pipe suppression system and the hatch is equipped with closely spaced fixed spray sprinkler heads around its perimeter. See area 1203 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION A wet pipe reactor building centerline suppression system, installed to separate the reactor building into two halves (areas 1203 and 1205), extends approximately 20 ft into this zone south of column line R7 on the east side of this zone. Smoke detection is provided in the suppression coverage section. Individual full coverage wet pipe suppression systems are provided in the ASD "A" area and ASD "B" area of this fire zone as full coverage suppression systems.
Activation of the system results in an alarm both locally and in the MCR. The ASD "A" area and ASD "B" area contain no manual firefighting equipment. However, manual firefighting equipment including hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers is available in this fire zone (Fire Zone 1203K). Manual firefighting equipment consists of a hose station and portable CO2 fire extinguishers.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of a design basis fire in this zone, the open passageways and hatches create a fire propagation hazard to adjacent areas and zones. The suppression system in the northeast section of this zone is designed to prevent this propagation. Similarly, the areawide sprinkler coverage and hatch spray system around the open hatch on the 185-ft elevation are designed to prevent propagation through the hatch. The remainder of the zone boundaries are rated fire barriers or nonrated but substantial shield walls (see exemptions in area 1203). Products of combustion due to a fire in this zone are expected to actuate the detection system in the northeast part of the zone to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The substantial or rated construction, the installed suppression systems, the likelihood of early detection, and the low combustible loading preclude propagation of the design basis fire beyond the boundaries of this zone.

Openings in the floor to area 1203 and zone 1205F and steam blowout panels located in the west wall are designed to vent steam from a main steam piping rupture to the turbine building, area 0101 (see exemptions). There is a fire-rated Class A door in the south wall to area 1203.
HNP-FHA-11 11.3-22 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION (cont'd) 185 ft and 203 ft Elevations This section consists of the entire reactor building floor on these elevations with the exception of the 185-ft elevation roof (area 1609), the drywell (area 1201), the refueling and storage pools (area 0201), and the stairwell (zone 1203I). All walls are nonrated, reinforced concrete with the exception of the south wall and the walls enclosing the stairwell, which are both 3-h-rated, reinforced concrete. The floors and ceilings are reinforced, nonrated concrete. The floors contain open stairwells and equipment hatches to the lower elevations of this area and area 1203. The ceiling is the refueling floor, a part of secondary containment. It contains a stairwell opening, enclosed in a block "dog-house," with a nonrated access door to area 0201. The ceiling also contains several covered and sealed equipment hatches. See area 0201 for an evaluation of this area boundary. There is a fire-rated Class A door on the 185-ft elevation and a fire-rated Class B door on the 203-ft elevation to zone 1203I.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier, have been exempted, or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in Appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is equipped with wet pipe sprinklers designed as a fire propagation barrier to separate the north half of the reactor building (area 1205) from the south half (area 1203).
These systems are described and defined in section 3.4 of this document. These wet pipe systems are located on the east and west sides of the drywell at el 87 ft, on the east side of the drywell at el 130 ft, on both sides of the main steam chase at el 130 ft, on the east side of the drywell at el 158 ft, the entire south half of the building at el 185 ft with the exception of the corridor (zone 1205W) beside the fuel pool. A high density, fixed water spray suppression system is provided around the equipment hatch at el 185 ft. This combination of suppression systems at el 185 ft is designed to prevent propagation of a fire either up or down through the floor or hatch.
Additional suppression systems include a wet pipe system in zone 1205Z, a water spray system with directional spray heads to provide a propagation barrier for the south wall of this zone, a preaction system in zone 1205N, and individual deluge systems for the charcoal filters in zones 1205N and 1205Q. Linear thermal heat detectors are provided in the reactor building centerline suppression systems sections at el 87 ft and 130 ft, in zone 1205B, in zone 1205F at el 130 ft, and in zones 1205N and 1205Q
HNP-FHA-11 11.3-23 REV 28 11/10 FIRE PROTECTION (cont'd) at el 158 ft. Smoke detectors are provided in the corners of el 130 ft (in the vicinity of stairwells and hatches) and in the reactor building centerline suppression system section of el 158 ft.
Thermal detectors are provided for the deluge systems in all filters containing charcoal.
Activation of any of the detection or suppression systems (except zone 1205Z south wall water curtain) results in both local and MCR alarms.
The area is equipped with hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the Section III.G.2 requirements has been approved for the nonrated walls and open areas separating this area from the south half of the reactor building, for the lack of full area suppression coverage, and for the nonrated main steam blowout panels, per the April 1984 NRC SER.
Additional exemptions from the Section III.G.2 separation requirements have been approved for certain safe shutdown components located under the reactor building centerline suppression systems and for HPCI system components located in this area per the January 1987 NRC SER.
Requests for exemptions from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h-rated barriers have been submitted as documented in appendix C of this document for the nonrated refueling floor and refueling floor access stairwell doghouses. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The north half of the Unit 1 reactor building primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 2, and the south half primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 1. Path 1 systems that are located in the north half and path 2 systems that are located in the south half of the reactor building are protected by a 1-h fire-rated barrier. All safe shutdown circuits for both paths are protected by a 1-h fire-rated barrier in the reactor building centerline suppression system zones.
The existing fire detection systems provide reasonable assurance that a fire will be detected in its initial stages before significant damage occurs. The fire will then be suppressed by the automatic systems or manually by the plant fire brigade before it represents a serious threat to shutdown systems. The fire suppression systems, fire barriers, the large open areas of the reactor building, and the existing spatial separation between redundant safe shutdown paths provide assurance that one path will remain free of fire damage.
Therefore, a fire in the south half of the Unit 1 reactor building will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

There is an open stairwell and a concrete hatch which access zone 1205F above. See area 1205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone is not equipped with any detection or automatic suppression systems; however, a hose station and portable CO2 fire extinguishers are located in this zone, and an additional hose station is available in zone 1205F for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This zone contains a low loading of combustible materials. The low fire loading and substantial or rated concrete walls preclude propagation of the design basis fire beyond the boundaries of this zone, except potentially through the open stairwell to zone 1205F. This is not expected to occur, since there are no intervening combustibles in the vicinity of the stairwell opening in zone 1205F. This zone contains a low combustible loading, and the minimal quantities of hot smoke and gas propagating through the opening would be rapidly diluted in the large volume of zone 1205F. In the unlikely event that propagation occurs, the ability to achieve safe shutdown will not be affected. Detection of a fire will likely be provided by the smoke detectors in the vicinity of the stairwell in zone 1205F and result in prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available firefighting equipment in this zone is adequate to extinguish a fire.

HNP-FHA-11 11.3-31 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The north wall of the zone from column line RA to approximately column line RH is a reinforced concrete 3-h-rated fire barrier. The remainder of the north wall and the east wall are nonrated, reinforced concrete reactor building exterior walls. The south boundary is partially open to area 1203 along column line R7 on the east and west and is defined by the drywell concrete walls in the center. The west wall is a reinforced concrete, 3-h-rated fire barrier adjacent to the turbine building. There is a fire-rated Class A door in the north wall to the radwaste building. The floor is nonrated, reinforced concrete with covered equipment hatches accessing zones 1205A, 1205B, and 1205C below. There are two open stairways which access zones 1205B and 1205C. The ceiling is nonrated, reinforced concrete with one open stairway accessing zone 1205I above. The floor and ceiling in the main steam chase portion of this zone contain steam vent openings to zone 1205A below and 1205N above this zone. There is a nonrated airtight door accessing area 1201. See area 1205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone contains a partial coverage detection system in the corners of the area near the stairs and hatches and partial coverage linear heat detection. There are hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers provided for manual firefighting. An automatic reactor building centerline suppression system is provided as a propagation barrier on the east side of the south zone boundary along column line R7 and adjacent to the steam chase.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE During a design basis fire, the installed smoke and heat detection systems will provide an early warning alarm, both locally and in the MCR, to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The 3-h-rated north and west walls which border the radwaste and turbine buildings and the substantial, nonrated east reactor building exterior wall are adequate to contain a design basis fire. The automatic reactor building centerline suppression system and substantial construction of the drywell wall will preclude any potential fire propagation into area 1203 (zone 1203F) and area 1201, respectively. Due to the substantial construction, the installed suppression systems and the moderate combustible loading, propagation through the floor or ceiling is not considered probable. Fire propagation through the northeast and northwest stairwells is unlikely due to the minimal amount of combustibles in the immediate area.
In the unlikely event that propagation does occur, only other zones of area 1205 will be affected, thus ensuring that only one train of safe shutdown systems is damaged. Prompt detection and response combined with the utilization of the manual firefighting equipment available should be sufficient to extinguish a fire.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of a design basis fire, the two open passageways create a fire propagation path to adjacent zone 1205L and area 1203. The automatic reactor building centerline suppression system in the southeast portion of the zone is designed to suppress or contain a fire and eliminate any potential for propagation to area 1203. The open entryway to adjacent zone 1205L is located in close proximity to the portion of zone 1203I protected by smoke detectors, so that immediate response to a fire is expected. The substantial construction, low combustible loading, installed detection and suppression systems, and likelihood of prompt plant fire brigade response preclude propagation of the design basis fire beyond the boundaries of this zone. In the unlikely event that propagation occurs to zone 1205L, it will result in no acceptable consequences on the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Early detection of a fire in this zone is improbable; however, a fire in this zone is unlikely due to the negligible combustion loading. The only significant fire postulated for this zone would result from the introduction of controlled amounts of transient combustibles. Propagation of a fire resulting from the introduction of transient combustibles will not occur through the openings to zones 1203K and 1203I since the sprinkler systems in zones 1203K and 1203I are expected to actuate to prevent propagation.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The only fire postulated for this zone would involve controlled amounts of transient combustibles. In the unlikely event of a significant fire due to the introduction of transient combustibles, the open passageway in the west wall creates a fire propagation hazard to adjacent zone 1205L.

FIRE PROTECTION The HVAC filters are provided with individual heat detection devices and water spray suppression systems in the filters. The zone is also equipped with an areawide linear heat detection system and a preaction sprinkler system actuated by the linear thermal detectors. Actuation of any of the detection or suppression systems, excluding the HVAC filter suppression system, results in both local and MCR alarms. A portable CO2 fire extinguisher is located in this zone and a hose station is available in nearby zone 1203K. An additional portable CO2 fire extinguisher is available in adjacent zone 1203I.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of a design basis fire in this area, the full coverage detection system would assure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish the fire. A design basis fire would be concentrated at the HVAC charcoal filters. The filter water spray systems initiated by the fire brigade are expected to rapidly extinguish the fire and prevent propagation outside of the filter units. In the event that the water spray systems fail, the zone is also equipped with preaction sprinklers which are expected to extinguish a fire within the zone.

The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. See area 1205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone is equipped with full coverage linear heat detection and thermal detectors in the filter units which would provide an early warning alarm both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The HVAC filters in this zone are equipped with water spray systems. The zone contains no manual firefighting equipment. The hose station in nearby zone 1203K is able to provide an effective hose stream to this zone if additional hose lengths are used. In addition, a portable CO2 fire extinguisher is available in adjacent zone 1205N.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE
In the event of a design basis fire, the local heat detectors within the charcoal filters or the full coverage linear heat detection system in the zone are expected to provide an early warning alarm both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Due to the small quantities of fixed and transient combustibles and the substantial or rated construction, a design basis fire is not expected to propagate beyond this zone. The primary combustible in the zone is the HVAC charcoal filters. The water spray system initiated by the fire brigade is capable of extinguishing a fire of this type. The manual hose station available in zone 1203K and the portable CO2 extinguisher in adjacent zone 1205N provide adequate manual suppression capability to extinguish a fire.

HNP-FHA-11 11.3-43 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION This zone consists of the entire north half of the l85-ft reactor building floor with the exception of the filter demineralizer room (zone 1205T) in the northwest corner. All the walls are reinforced concrete and nonrated except for the walls around the decontamination room, which are nonrated block. Part of the south zone boundary is the drywell which is nonrated, reinforced concrete and steel (exempted barrier). The balance of the south boundary is open on the east and west side of the drywell to zones 1205S and 1205U, respectively. A portion of the south boundary consists of the south wall of the decontamination room. The floor is nonrated, reinforced concrete with an open stairwell and covered equipment hatches down to zone 1205I.
The ceiling is nonrated, reinforced concrete with an open stairwell and covered equipment hatches up to zone 1205Y. There is an open doorway to zone 1205T. There are closed equipment hatches which access zones 1205I and 1205Y and a nonrated door in the block wall around the decontamination room, which accesses zone 1205S. See area 1205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone is equipped with no automatic suppression or detection system; however, the south boundary is the edge of the wet pipe suppression systems in zones 1205S and 1205U. Hose stations and CO2 fire extinguishers are provided in the zone for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire is postulated to be a slow developing fire consisting primarily of fire retardant, IEEE-383 qualified cable insulation, and Class A combustibles. Propagation of the fire to adjacent zones 1205S and 1205U is precluded by the wet pipe suppression systems in these zones. The substantial construction with limited penetrations and the low combustible loading make it unlikely for a fire to propagate to zone 1205T or area 1609. The only potential propagation path through the floor or ceiling is the open stairwell. Due to the low fire loading, this is credible but unlikely. In the unlikely event that propagation to any of these adjacent zones or areas does occur, only one safe shutdown path will be affected. The manual firefighting equipment in the zone is adequate to extinguish the fire.

HNP-FHA-11 11.3-45 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The north side of this zone has a partial, nonrated block wall around the decontamination room.
There is a nonrated door in this wall which accesses zone 1205R. The remainder of the north boundary is open to zone 1205R. The east and west walls are reinforced concrete, nonrated reactor building exterior and fuel pool walls, respectively. There is a nonrated door in the east wall access to zone 1205W. The south wall is the reinforced concrete, reactor building exterior, 3-h-rated fire barrier. The floor and ceiling are reinforced concrete and nonrated. There is an open stairwell which accesses upper level zone 1205Y. An equipment hatch, which is open to zone 1205Y above and area 1203 below, is located in the center of this zone. There is an open doorway to zone 1205W. See area 1205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone is not equipped with a fire detection system. The portion of the zone around the equipment hatch is equipped with a high density ring of fixed spray heads designed to prevent propagation either up or down through the hatch. The balance of the zone is equipped with a full coverage wet pipe suppression system. Manual firefighting equipment available in this zone consists of a hose station and a portable CO2 fire extinguisher.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of a design basis fire, actuation of the suppression systems in the zone will result in both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The construction is substantial and the expected fire severity is sufficiently low to preclude fire propagation to adjacent zones 1205W and 1205R. The open equipment hatch and open hallway pose some threat of propagation to area 1203 and zone 1205Y and to zone 1205R, respectively. Propagation to zone 1205R or 1205Y is acceptable since both zones rely on path 2 for safe shutdown. However, the installed full coverage suppression system is expected to rapidly extinguish any fire which might occur. The automatic high density suppression system around the equipment hatch is designed to preclude propagation of a design basis fire through the hatch in either direction. Propagation is, therefore, not expected to occur. The manual firefighting equipment provided in this zone is adequate to extinguish any fire which may occur.

FIRE PROTECTION There are no detection or automatic suppression systems in this zone. Manual firefighting equipment consists of hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Due to the extremely substantial construction of the zone boundaries, the only credible propagation paths for a design basis fire in this zone are through the open stairwells and hatches. All of the combustibles in this zone are concentrated toward the center of the zone, away from these potential propagation paths. Propagation up through the stairwell to area 020l is not considered credible as discussed in the text for area 0201. Propagation down through the hatches and stairwells is unlikely due to the lack of intervening combustibles. In the event that propagation does occur through the hatch or stairwell in the south part of this zone, actuation of the hatch water spray system and/or general area wet pipe sprinklers on the 185-ft elevation is expected. Actuation of these suppression systems will provide both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Propagation through these openings or the stairwell in the north part of the zone will affect only other zones of area 1205 which assures damage to only one safe shutdown path.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The only credible propagation of the design basis fire is through the south wall of this zone.
This propagation is acceptable since only other zones of area 1205 would be damaged, thereby limiting fire damage to one safe shutdown path. In the event of a design basis fire, the substantial or rated wall construction coupled with the limited number of penetrations would limit the potential for fire propagation to adjacent areas or zones. The wet pipe sprinkler system is expected to activate during a fire, alarming both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. In addition, the directional spray nozzles are expected to prevent the propagation of fire through the south wall.

Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this fire hazard analysis.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is equipped with smoke detection in the radwaste control room and the 132-ft elevation drum filling and capping hallway which provides both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The exhaust filter room has heat detectors and a water spray system associated with the filters. The drywaste storage area at the 132-ft elevation is equipped with a dry pipe sprinkler system. Manual firefighting equipment consists of hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers throughout the area.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area may propagate among zones of the area through the open and nonrated zone boundaries, particularly in the few places where local concentrations of combustibles are located near openings between zones. This propagation is acceptable within the area since no safe shutdown circuits or components are located in the area. The effects of a fire on the radwaste systems are bounded by the analysis as described in the HNP-2-FSAR.
No significant radioactive releases were determined to result from exposure of these systems to fire. All radwaste building exterior walls are approximately 2 ft thick. The design basis fire is not considered capable of breaching these area boundaries. In addition, all sections of this area which contain specific fire hazards (charcoal filters) or high concentrations of combustibles (drywaste storage area, radwaste control room) are equipped with detection, suppression, or both. The combustible loading in many zones is negligible and is very low throughout the area.
HNP-FHA-11 11.4-3 REV 28 11/10 CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE (cont'd)
Although the internal walls are nonrated and contain openings between zones, they are of substantial, reinforced concrete construction. Actuation of any of the detection or suppression systems, expected to occur in the incipient stages of a fire, will provide both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish any fire which might occur. Therefore, propagation of a fire among zones is considered unlikely; and propagation outside of the area is not credible. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve or maintain safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this zone involves only cable which is predominantly IEEE-383 qualified. The design basis fire would, therefore, develop and propagate through the zone very slowly. The low combustible loading and substantial construction of the zone minimize the possibility of a fire propagating to other zones. The fire may be detected in the early stages due to the slow development and personnel traffic in the vicinity. The manual firefighting equipment available in this zone and adjacent zones is adequate to extinguish the fire.

The east wall has an open doorway to zone 1301F and the south wall contains open doorways to zone 1301D and zone 1301E. A stairway also communicates with zone 1301J. There is a fire-rated Class A door located in the west wall, accessing area 1101. The ceiling and floor are nonrated, reinforced concrete. See area 1301 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is not equipped with any fire detection or automatic suppression system. However, manual firefighting equipment in this zone consists of portable CO2 fire extinguishers and a hose station.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The combustibles in this zone consist of localized concentrations (dress out areas, waste oil drums at sumps) which are separated by significant distance (typically greater than 20 ft). The adjacent zones at the 108-ft elevation all contain negligible combustible loadings. Propagation of the design basis fire among these zones is, therefore, unlikely.
The open stairwell and nonrated ceiling of the zone are credible propagation paths; however, the migration of combustion products through these paths would likely result in actuation of the detection systems located in zones 1301H and 1301J, directly above this zone, or in detection by the continuous staffing in zone 1301H. The resulting local and MCR alarms would ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish the fire.

Manual firefighting equipment consists of a halon extinguisher beside the door inside zone 1301H and a CO2 portable fire extinguisher available from adjacent zone 1301I. In addition, a hose station is available in adjacent zone 1301H.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The detectors located in this zone are expected to detect the combustion products from an incipient fire and alert the personnel in the radwaste control room and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available firefighting equipment provided in this and adjacent zones is adequate to extinguish the fire.
In addition, the presence of an operator in this zone at all times allows for rapid detection and suppression of a fire. The likelihood of early detection and substantial construction of the walls precludes the propagation of the design basis fire beyond the boundaries of this zone.

FIRE PROTECTION This zone is not equipped with fire detection or automatic suppression systems. Manual firefighting equipment in this zone consists of a portable CO2 fire extinguisher. Additional extinguishers and a hose station are available in adjacent zone 1301J.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The personnel traffic in this area may provide early detection of a fire. Available manual firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish the fire. In the event a fire did propagate to zone 1301J (drywaste storage), there is a dry pipe sprinkler system in that zone that would provide immediate suppression. Any propagation of combustion products to either adjacent zone (1301J, 1301H) would likely result in actuation of early warning fire alarms, both locally and in the MCR, by the installed smoke detection systems in these zones. These alarms would ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Due to the low combustible loading, the likelihood of early fire detection and the substantial construction of the walls, propagation of a fire to other zones is unlikely.

The north wall has a nonrated vault-type double door which accesses the outside. The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The floor and ceiling have stairs connecting zones 1301G below and 1301M above. See area 1301 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The drum fill and cap area is equipped with smoke detectors which provide an early warning alarm both locally and in the MCR. The dry waste storage area (northwest end of the zone) is equipped with a dry pipe suppression system. Actuation of the sprinklers also results an alarm both locally and in the MCR. Manual firefighting equipment in this zone consists of portable CO2 fire extinguishers and a hose station.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The drywaste storage section of this zone contains the bulk of the combustibles in the zone. A fire originating in this section is expected to be rapidly extinguished by the installed dry pipe sprinkler system. In addition, alarms resulting from actuation of the suppression system over the drywaste storage area or the smoke detectors in the drum fill and cap area and personnel traffic in this zone ensure early fire detection and prompt response by the plant fire brigade.
The open stairwells and doorways represent a fire propagation possibility to adjacent zones 1301G, 1301M, and 1301I, respectively; however, the low combustible loading and the likelihood of early fire detection preclude fire propagation. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area, in the unlikely event that it does occur, will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

HNP-FHA-11 11.4-41 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION All the walls are reinforced concrete and nonrated. The floor and ceiling are also nonrated, reinforced concrete. There are four nonrated doors, two vault-type doors in the north wall, one in the south wall communicating with the outside at el 132 ft, and one watertight door in the west wall to area 1301 at el 108 ft.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this fire hazard analysis.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is not equipped with any detection or automatic suppression systems except for heat detector actuated automatic water spray systems in the filters (zone 1302J) at el 150 ft. Manual firefighting equipment in this area includes hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area may propagate among zones of the area through the open and nonrated zone boundaries, particularly in the places where local concentrations of combustibles are located near openings between zones. This propagation is acceptable within the area since no safe shutdown circuits or components are located in the area. The effects of a fire on the radwaste systems are bounded by the analysis described in the Unit 2 FSAR. No significant radioactive releases were determined to result from exposure of these systems to fire. All radwaste addition building exterior walls are approximately 2-ft thick. The design basis fire is not considered capable of breaching these area boundaries. In addition, the sections of this area which contain specific fire hazards (charcoal filters) are equipped with detection systems, automatic suppression systems, or both. The combustible loading in many zones is negligible and is very low throughout the area. Although the internal walls are nonrated and contain openings between zones, they are of substantial reinforced concrete construction. The available manual firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish any fire that might occur.
Therefore, propagation of a fire among zones is considered unlikely and propagation outside of the area is not credible. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve or maintain safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

FIRE PROTECTION There is no automatic suppression or fire detection system in the zone. The manual firefighting equipment consists of a hose station and portable CO2 fire extinguisher.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The majority of the combustibles in this zone are located in the hot tool room which is surrounded by concrete walls with an open doorway to the rest of the rooms in the zone. The low combustible loading and substantial construction of the walls precludes a design basis fire from propagating to other zones. Although this zone communicates with other zones through open doorways, hot gases from a fire in this zone will be significantly diluted by passage through the labyrinth propagation path before reaching other zones. Therefore, a fire is not likely to propagate. The substantial reinforced concrete, below grade, radwaste addition building exterior wall on the west side of this zone, and the nonrated, watertight door in the wall are capable of withstanding the less than 30-min duration of the design basis fire without being breached. The available fire protection is adequate to extinguish a fire.

Also, a CO2 hose reel is available in area 1404.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Since the area is bounded on all sides by 3-h-rated barriers, propagation of the design basis fire outside of this area is not considered credible. In addition, due to the low combustible loading and installed detection system, which alarms both locally and in the MCR, the fire is expected to be detected in its incipient stages to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Hydrogen generated by the batteries is maintained at insignificant concentrations by the ventilation system in the area. See calculation 1380-027-C009 in appendix L of this document for further details. The available manual firefighting equipment from adjacent areas is adequate to extinguish the fire.

HNP-FHA-11 11.5-6 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The walls of the area are constructed of 3-h-rated, reinforced concrete. One large nonrated and one small 3-h-rated ventilation damper are located in the east wall, communicating with area 0401. An additional 3-h-rated damper in the south wall communicates with area 1402. All dampers are closed by high temperature, CO2 flooding system actuation, or manual actuation. Fire-rated Class A doors in the east and west walls access area 0401 and 1404, respectively. A fire-rated Class A rolling door is also provided in the east wall in series with the large vent damper. The floor and ceiling are both nonrated, reinforced concrete.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION Heat detectors are located within the area and provide both local and MCR alarms. The area is also equipped with an automatic CO2 flooding system. Several portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers are located in the area for manual firefighting. In addition, a CO2 hose reel is located in adjacent area 1404. Hydrants are located immediately outside of the diesel generator building.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Due to the enclosure of this area with 3-h-rated barriers and the low combustible loading, the design basis fire is not expected to propagate outside of the area. A design basis fire will, therefore, not affect the capability to achieve or maintain safe shutdown or result in any release of radioactivity. In addition, the installed detection system provides both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. As a result, rapid extinguishment of the fire is expected either by the installed suppression system or by the plant fire brigade using the available manual firefighting equipment. Overflow of the diesel generator fuel oil day tanks as a result of circuit faults in this area is evaluated in calculation 1380-027-C010 in appendix L of this document.

HNP-FHA-11 11.6-2 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The valve pit is constructed with reinforced concrete walls and floor approximately 14 ft below grade. The "roof" is grating with access hatch. This construction is defined as a separate fire area due to the spatial separation of greater than 20 ft between this and any other plant areas.
There are two cable ducts connecting this area with area 1602 (service water valve pit 1B).
These are not considered to be propagation paths due to their small size, long length, and the negligible combustible loading in both areas. Since this is an open yard area, there are no other penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION Two hydrants, one to the northwest and one to the east of the valve pits, are accessible for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the literal requirements in Section III.G.2 for complete 3-h barriers has been requested for this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-
- 10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire involving transient combustibles within this area will result in no unacceptable consequences, since loss of the single, redundant circuit in the area may be compensated for by manual actions. Thus, the only fires of concern are those external exposure fires involving both this area and area 1602 (service water valve pit 1B). These areas are separated by approximately 28 ft. An asphalt road runs between the two areas and is not considered a propagation path due to a lack of any ignition sources or combustibles sufficient to transfer enough heat to the asphalt material to raise it to its ignition temperature. The largest fixed combustible source presenting a hazard to both pits is the auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank. The maximum probable fire at the nearby auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank will not radiate enough heat to either valve pit to result in damage. (See calculation 1380-027-C007 contained in appendix L of this document. Note from the analysis that radiant heat is the only feasible mode of heat transfer due to the dike constructed around the tank to contain the maximum postulated fuel oil spill to the immediate area of the tank). The only transient combustible presenting an exposure fire hazard to both areas is the truck transport of fuel oil to the tank. The only credible mechanism for a large spill of fuel oil is human error during refilling operations. The auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank refilling connection is greater than 40 ft from the nearest valve pit. The grade slopes to a yard drain located between the fuel oil tank and the valve pits, which then diverts any spill away from the pits. Each pit has a 6-in. curb at the edge of the road to prevent possible entrance of liquid combustibles. Since the safe shutdown components are below grade and a spill will not enter the pits, there is no effect on safe shutdown capability. Thus, a fire in or near this area does not affect the ability to safely shut down the plant. This area contains no radioactive materials which could be released in the event of a fire.

HNP-FHA-11 11.6-4 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The valve pit is constructed with reinforced concrete walls and floor approximately 14 ft below grade. The "roof" is grating with access hatch. This construction is defined as a separate fire area due to the spatial separation of greater than 20 ft between this and any other plant areas.
There are two cable ducts connecting this area with area 1601 (service water valve pit 1A).
These are not considered to be propagation paths due to their small size, long length, and the negligible combustible loading in both areas. Since this is an open yard area, there are no other penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION Two hydrants, one to the northwest and one to the east of the valve pits, are accessible for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the literal requirements in Section III.G.2 for complete 3-h barriers has been requested for this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 2, 1987, NRC SER, no exemption is required based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire involving transient combustibles within this area will result in no unacceptable consequences, since loss of the single, redundant circuit in the area may be compensated for by manual actions. Thus, the only fires of concern are those external exposure fires involving both this area and area 1601 (service water valve pit 1A). These areas are separated by approximately 28 ft. An asphalt road runs between the two areas and is not considered a propagation path due to a lack of any ignition sources or combustibles sufficient to transfer enough heat to the asphalt material to raise it to its ignition temperature. Each pit has a 6-in.
curb at the edge of the road. The largest fixed combustible source presenting a hazard to both pits is the auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank. The maximum probable fire at the nearby auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank will not radiate enough heat to either valve pit to result in damage. (See calculation 1380-027-C007 contained in appendix L of this document. Note that radiant heat is the only feasible mode of heat transfer due to the dike constructed around the tank to contain the maximum postulated fuel oil spill to the immediate area of the tank.) The only transient combustible presenting an exposure fire hazard to both areas is the truck transport of fuel oil to the tank. The only credible mechanism for a large spill of fuel oil is human error during refilling operations. The auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank refilling connection is greater than 40 ft from the nearest valve pit. The grade slopes to a yard drain located between the fuel oil tank and the valve pits, which then diverts any spill away from the pits. Each pit has a 6-in. curb at the edge of the road to prevent possible entrance of liquid combustibles. Since the safe shutdown components are below grade and a spill will not enter the pits, there is no effect on safe shutdown capability. Thus, a fire in or near this area does not affect the ability to safely shut down the plant. This area contains no radioactive materials which could be released in the event of a fire

HNP-FHA-11 11.6-6 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The condensate tank and pump enclosures are constructed with reinforced concrete walls approximately 20-ft high. The floor is a reinforced concrete slab, and the "ceiling" is open.
Access is via metal stairs on the side of the enclosure. Since this is an open yard area, there are no penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no detection or automatic suppression in the area. A hydrant is located near the southeast corner of the enclosure.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the literal requirements in Section III.G.2 for complete 3-h barriers has been requested for this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire in this area that damages redundant safe shutdown equipment is not considered credible for the following reasons:
- 1. The majority of the combustibles in this fire area is small quantities associated with dressout areas at the tops of the access stairs which are separated from the nearest safe shutdown components by at least 15 ft.
- 2. Due to the very limited amount of equipment inside the enclosure, there is little likelihood of transient combustibles commonly associated with maintenance and modification activities being introduced. Similarly, there is little likelihood for the introduction of ignition sources.
- 3. The only safe shutdown components are located on opposite sides of the condensate storage tank and are not susceptible to a single exposure fire. The circuits associated with these components are routed in conduit which provides a sufficient radiant heat shield for the low concentration of combustibles.
- 4. The condensate tank enclosure is sufficiently constructed to protect safe shutdown components from a fire external to the enclosure.
In addition, the available manual suppression is adequate to extinguish any insignificant fire which may occur. A fire in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

HNP-FHA-11 11.6-8 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The north boundary of the area is open with no barriers. The south boundary of the area is the reinforced concrete south wall of the railroad airlock with a nonrated door to area 2604. The west boundary includes an open area with no barriers and the nonrated, reinforced concrete reactor building exterior wall containing a nonrated airtight, personnel access door and a nonrated airtight railroad access door. The east boundary includes an open area with no barriers and the reinforced concrete railroad airlock exterior wall containing a nonrated, airtight railroad access door.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier, have been exempted, or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in Appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no detection or suppression in the area. Adjacent area 2604 provides hose stations and CO2 fire extinguishers for manual fire protection. A fire hydrant for manual firefighting is provided on the south side of the Unit 1 condensate storage tank.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h barriers, has been requested for this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire in this area may potentially result in a loss of Unit l drywell air system, nitrogen storage, and safe shutdown components. However, shutdown can be achieved using the Unit 2 nitrogen system components. In addition, a fire in this area presents an exposure hazard to safe shutdown equipment in adjacent areas 1203, 1205, 1603, and 2604. The east boundaries of fire areas 1203 and 1205 consist of the nonrated exterior walls of the Unit 1 reactor building.
These secondary containment walls are a minimum of 2-ft thick with no penetrations in the vicinity of the hazard. Thus, a fire in this area will not propagate to areas 1203 and/or 1205.
Fire area 1603 is the condensate storage tank and pump enclosure. The only safe shutdown equipment in this area is located inside the tank enclosure, which is greater than 15 ft from the hazard. In addition to the separation distance, the 20-ft-high enclosure walls act as a radiant heat shield to protect safe shutdown equipment. Fire area 2604 contains the redundant Unit 2 nitrogen system. The boundary between the two areas is the south wall of the reactor building railroad airlock which is reinforced, solid concrete with nonrated doors and limited penetrations.
The railroad airlock is free of any substantial combustibles. The significant concentration of combustibles in this area is also separated from area 2604 by the north wall of the railroad airlock which is similar in construction to the south wall. Thus, a fire in area 1604 will not HNP-FHA-11 11.6-9 REV 28 11/10 propagate to area 2604. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

A double nonrated airlock door in the south wall accesses area 2604.
A personnel airlock is located along the north wall of this zone. The south wall of the personnel airlock is constructed of nonrated 8-in. concrete block. The roof is constructed of 4-in.-thick nonrated concrete. A nonrated door in the west wall of the personnel airlock accesses reactor building zone 1203F. A nonrated airlock door in the north wall (at the east end) provides access to zone 1604B and outside.
See area 1604 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no detection or automatic suppression system in this zone. Hose stations and a portable CO2 fire extinguisher are available in adjacent area 2604 for manual firefighting. In addition, yard hydrants are located immediately outside near each condensate storage tank.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire duration is less than 15 min, which is considered to be insufficient to cause other than localized damage. Although the walls and doors in this zone are nonrated, they are of solid, reinforced concrete and steel and of substantial thickness. The design basis fire is not considered to be capable of breaching these barriers. A fire in this zone will not affect safe shutdown capability. There is no potential for a significant release of radioactivity from a fire in this zone.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area is assumed to result in the loss of both Unit 1 circulating water pumps and associated equipment. However, the pumps are not required for safe shutdown.
Due to the low combustible loading, the substantial, below grade construction of the pit and the greater than 50-ft separation of the pit from any other plant areas, propagation of the design basis fire outside of this area is not considered credible.

HNP-FHA-11 11.6-17 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION This open area contains six large oil filled transformers mounted on concrete pads surrounded by gravel which is designed to contain any oil spills to a localized area. All six transformers are located within 50 ft of the turbine building exterior wall, which forms the east boundary of the area. The transformer cases are constructed of heavy sheet steel. Since this is an open yard area, there are no penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION Each transformer is equipped with a fixed automatic water spray suppression system activated by a dry pilot system above and around the transformers. The area is equipped with fire hydrants and a portable dry chemical fire extinguisher located in the valve house. In addition, the high visibility and traffic in the area would provide rapid detection of any fire and ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade which is trained in the fighting of transformer fires.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area presents an exposure fire hazard to the Unit 1 turbine building. The guidance of Appendix A to BTP 9.5-l Position D.1.h indicates that oil filled transformers adjacent to safety-related structures should have any openings in the separating wall sealed to a 3-h rating. Three transformers in this area are less than 20 ft from the turbine building exterior wall and three transformers are less than 40 ft from the same wall. The turbine building contains circuits for both safe shutdown paths. This is considered acceptable since:
(1) The only openings in the turbine building west wall are the switchgear control cable tray and the main plant bus duct penetrations; (2) Radiant and convected heat entering the openings will be rapidly diluted in the large volume of the turbine building; (3) Each transformer is provided with an automatic water spray system;
(4) Only one safe shutdown path will be affected in the unlikely event a fire propagates to the turbine building.
(5) The PPT transformer is separated from the main power transformer by a fire barrier.
A fire in this area will, therefore, not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in any release of radioactivity.

They are of substantial nonrated, reinforced concrete construction, approximately 3 ft thick. The floor is reinforced concrete slab; the roof is also nonrated, reinforced concrete approximately 2 ft thick containing several solid concrete hatches for equipment removal. Nonrated doors in the south and west walls are provided for access to the building. Since this area is located away from other plant areas and contains no safe shutdown circuits or components, penetrations are not sealed.
FIRE PROTECTION Zone 1608A of this area contains partial coverage smoke detection, hose stations, and portable CO2 fire extinguishers. The other zones contain no fire protection features but also contain negligible combustible loadings.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area involves a low combustible loading, resulting in an equivalent fire duration of less than 30 min. Although the exterior of this building is not fire rated, it is of very substantial construction (minimum 2-ft-thick concrete containing essentially no penetrations). The fire is therefore not expected to be capable of breaching the area boundaries. Activation of the detection system in zone 1608A will provide an alarm, both locally and in the main control room (MCR) to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Also, the available firefighting equipment in the area is adequate to extinguish any fire which might occur. In addition, this area contains no safe shutdown equipment or circuits and is not considered safety related. There are also no exposure fire hazards to this area. Consequently, a design basis fire in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

The floor is nonrated, reinforced concrete and contains one significant penetration for the reactor building vent stack in the northeast corner of the area. This area is considered a separate fire area due to the insignificant combustible loading; the nonrated but substantial boundaries of the area at the floor and on the east, south, and west sides; and the large spatial separation of this area from other plant areas.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION The charcoal filters contained in this area are equipped with heat detectors and a water spray system. There is no other detection or automatic or manual suppression in this area. Actuation of the detection system provides an alarm locally and in the MCR. Adjacent zone 1203I provides a portable CO2 fire extinguisher and adjacent zone 1205U contains a hose station able to provide an effective hose stream to this area.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire originating in this area is considered insignificant due to the negligible combustible loading resulting in a design basis fire duration of less than 15 min. Therefore, the design basis fire is not expected to propagate beyond the boundaries of the area. In the event of a design basis fire in the zone, the detection system in the filters would provide early warning alarms in the local area and in the MCR to assure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The fire brigade will initiate the water spray system in the filter unit to suppress the fire. A fire in zones 1205N or 1205Q below this area are not expected to propagate up to this area since the only credible propagation path is through the reactor building vent stack penetration which is approximately 30 ft from the only combustibles in this area. A fire originating in the turbine building is not expected to propagate across this area to the reactor building or vice versa since two nonrated but substantial barriers would have to be breached to establish this propagation path. This is not considered credible since once one barrier was breached, the fire would be in an open outside area. Sufficient heat could not be confined to damage the second barrier. Therefore, no exposure fire to this area is considered capable of propagating through this area to another.
The design basis fire for this area will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

FIRE PROTECTION There is no automatic detection or suppression in this zone. A CO2 extinguisher is located near the main entry door on the outside north wall of the room. Yard hydrants and hose houses are located nearby to provide effective hose stream coverage.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A design basis fire, which assumes total combustion of all combustibles, represents an exposure hazard to plant structures (i.e., the radwaste and turbine buildings). The radwaste building wall is reinforced solid concrete with no openings within approximately 35 ft of the hazard. The turbine building wall consists of concrete "T" panels of minimum 4-in. thickness.
The only openings in the turbine building wall are a normally closed rollup door and a personnel access door protected by the frisker building. There are no fixed combustibles in the immediate vicinity of these doors subject to radiant heat exposure. Convected heat will be rapidly diluted by the large volume of the turbine building. The nearest required safe shutdown circuits or components are greater than 30 ft from these doors. Based on the substantial construction of the nearby building walls, the absence of significant, intervening combustibles and a large distance between the hazard and important plant components, a design basis fire does not affect safe shutdown or result in an unacceptable exposure to the plant.

The tower wall is constructed of concrete panels extending down from the fan deck to the top of the air inlet. The cooling tower is divided into 12 cells separated by concrete panels with concrete windscreens on the end cells.
The heat exchanger consists of formed plastic sheets in modules supported from below by structural members and covering the entire interior plan area of the tower. The water distribution piping is PVC. The fan stacks are constructed of heavy, ribbed fire-retardant fiberglass panels bolted together.
The electrical equipment building is a small structure housing the cooling tower MCCs and is a separate building from the cooling tower. The electrical equipment building has a metal structural frame, as well as metal siding and roof. The floor is concrete.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no automatic fire detection or suppression at this building. A hydrant is located approximately 100 ft to the south. Other hydrants are in the area nearby.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area contains no safe-shutdown or safety-related equipment, and presents no exposure fire hazard to any safe-shutdown or safety-related equipment. A fire in this area is not expected to propagate toward any other plant structures due to its noncombustible concrete construction.
Since the combustible loading of this area is low and no safety-related components are resident, a design basis fire is not expected to have any adverse effect on the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown.

There are fire-rated Class A sliding double doors on both the inside and outside of the doorway in the east wall which access area 0001. The doorway is located approximately 5 ft above floor level to accommodate the volume of the oil in the tanks.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION The area is equipped with a full coverage dry pilot activated, auto deluge system. Activation of the deluge system results in an alarm, both locally and in the main control room (MCR). The sliding fire doors automatically close under fire conditions. No manual firefighting equipment is located in this zone. However, manual firefighting equipment is available in area 0001, including a portable foam unit, portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers, and hose stations.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The only significant fire which can be postulated for this area would be as a result of the rupture of the oil storage tank or piping. Such a fire would not have an incipient stage, thus, an early warning detection system is not provided. The full coverage deluge system provides for rapid extinguishment of any fire which does occur. The fire would be oxygen limited which would retard the rate of combustion until extinguishment. Rapid response of the plant fire brigade would be expected to protect sensitive equipment outside the fire area. These rated walls will contain the fire until the fire can be extinguished. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve and maintain a safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radiation.

There is a fire-rated Class A door in the north wall accessing area 0014. The entry is provided with a high curb designed to contain the maximum postulated oil spill to the area. The floor and ceiling are reinforced 3-h-rated concrete. The ceiling contains a shaft that extends up to el 164 ft. The walls of this shaft are 3-h-rated reinforced concrete. The top of the shaft is covered by a nonrated metal and concrete hatch cover (see exemptions).
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is equipped with full deluge suppression system coverage, which is dry pilot actuated.
Portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers and a hose station are located outside this area in area 0014 for manual firefighting. Since the only credible fire for this area is an oil fire with no incipient stage, an early warning detection system is not provided. Activation of the suppression system results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTION An exemption has been requested from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h-rated barriers for the nonrated hatch in the ceiling of this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The only significant fire that can be postulated for this area would be as a result of the ignition of the turbine lube oil or EHC fluid. The full-coverage deluge sprinklers provide for rapid extinguishment of this type of fire. The rated or substantial construction of the area boundaries will contain the fire until it can be extinguished. Activation of the suppression system results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR, to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. In the event of a failure of the suppression system, the fire brigade can extinguish the fire using the available manual suppression located in adjacent area 0014. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

HNP-FHA-12 12.2-2 REV 33 3/15 CONSTRUCTION This area is bounded by the control building, east corridor and cableway, and Unit 1 west cableway on the north. The control building boundary is constructed of reinforced concrete and is 3-h rated. The boundary at the east corridor, el 112 ft, is an area boundary established only for the purpose of separating a common control building numbered area (0007) from this Unit 2 numbered area. No rated barrier is required since path 2 is used for safe shutdown for both units in both areas. Similarly, the boundary between the west cableway portion of this area and the Unit 1 west cableway is established only for the purpose of separating a Unit 1 numbered area (1101) from this Unit 2 numbered area. The boundary at the east cableway, el 130 ft, is established by the cableway (area 2104) suppression system (see exemptions). The east boundary is the nonrated reinforced concrete turbine building exterior wall adjacent to the 3-h-rated reactor and radwaste building walls, except for the walls (including the floor and ceiling) around area 2104. These nonrated reinforced concrete walls are exempted barriers (see exemptions). The west boundary is established by the nonrated reinforced concrete turbine building and west cableway exterior walls. The south boundary is also established by the nonrated reinforced concrete turbine building exterior walls. Areas 2102 and 2103 (stairwells) are contained within this area and are surrounded with 2-h-rated block walls. The floor and ceiling are nonrated reinforced concrete, except for the portion of floor over the control building switchgear and transformer rooms, which is 3-h rated. The ceiling is evaluated as an area boundary in the area 0101 text.
This area has three nonrated doors; one to area 2104 and two to the outside. There are five fire-rated Class B doors, two to area 2103 and three to area 2102. There are two fire-rated Class A doors, one to area 2301 and the other to area 0001.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is equipped with dry pilot actuated, preaction sprinklers over the oil spill sections of the area at el 112 and 130 ft, an automatic water spray system over the H2 seal oil unit activated by a dry pilot system, and wet pipe sprinklers throughout the west cableway. Smoke detectors are provided in the switchgear mezzanines and under the southwest (2101N) mezzanine. The area is equipped with H2O hose stations and portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS The barrier between this area and the 130-ft elevation east cableway (area 2104) is established by the cableway sprinkler system at the south end of area 2104 and by the west wall, floor, and ceiling of the cableway. These area boundaries are exempted from the complete 3-h barrier requirements of Section III.G.2 of Appendix R, per the April 1984 NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER).
HNP-FHA-12 12.2-3 REV 33 3/15 CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Because of the smoke detection provided at locations of significant hazards in this area, early detection of a fire is expected. Suppression has also been provided at locations which represent significant hazards (i.e., the oil spill zones). Other hazards are cable insulation or widely separated concentrations of ordinary combustibles (wood, paper, plastics, etc.). The cable used at E. I. Hatch Nuclear Plant is predominately IEEE-383 qualified which will ensure that any cable fires which occur are slow developing. The available manual firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish these fires. Due to the suppression and detection provided and the substantial construction of the area boundaries, it is unlikely that a fire will propagate outside the area.
Because of the large dilution volume of the turbine building, flashover is not expected to occur and fires will remain localized even with a failure of the primary suppression system. In the unlikely event that propagation occurs through the openings to areas 1101 and/or 0101, only safe shutdown path 1 circuits and components will be affected, since all path 2 equipment throughout all three areas is protected as necessary. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

The floor is nonrated reinforced concrete base slab. The ceiling is concrete and open grate and is nonrated. There are two nonrated doors, one in the north wall to zone 2101H and one in the south wall, also to zone 2101H. See area 2101 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone contains partial coverage preaction sprinklers actuated by a dry pilot system over the oil spill sections (see figures for specific coverage). Actuation of the suppression system results in an alarm, both locally and in the main control room (MCR). Manual firefighting equipment consists of hose stations, a CO2 portable fire extinguisher, and a portable dry chemical fire extinguisher.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this zone is considered to be a fast burning fire due to the potential for oil and grease spills/leakage from higher elevations along the west wall. This zone has been provided with an automatic dry pilot detection and sprinkler system which provides both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Manual firefighting equipment located throughout the zone is adequate to extinguish the fire. The substantial concrete wall construction is expected to preclude lateral propagation of the fire outside of this zone. Propagation to the zones above, through the grating, is of no consequence since all redundant safe shutdown circuits and components throughout area 2101 are protected as necessary.

The north zone boundary is open to area 1101. (This boundary is an "analysis" boundary only, established to separate a Unit 2 area from a Unit 1 area. A fire that propagates through this boundary will not affect safe shutdown. See area 2101 or 1101 for further details). The floor and ceiling are nonrated reinforced concrete. There is a fire-rated Class A door to area 0001 and a nonrated door to zone 2101C. See area 2101 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone has full wet pipe sprinkler coverage. No manual firefighting equipment is located in this zone. However, hose stations located in zone 2101C and area 0001 are capable of directing an effective stream into this zone. Extra hose lengths, which allow full coverage of the zone by hose stream, are available to the plant fire brigade. Portable CO2 extinguishers are also available from zone 2101C and area 0001.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of a design basis fire in this zone, actuation of the wet pipe suppression system will provide both local and MCR alarms. The combustible loading in this zone consists almost entirely of cable insulation, which is predominantly IEEE-383 qualified and will ensure slow fire development, allowing ample time for the plant fire brigade to respond. Since there is no equipment in this zone that requires modification or maintenance, the introduction of transient combustibles is infrequent. Thus, the possibility of a fire is remote. In the unlikely event that a fire occurs, the wet pipe sprinkler would provide for rapid extinguishment. The substantial concrete walls are sufficient to contain the fire until it is brought under control.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The open passageways present a fire propagation hazard to the adjacent zones. However, the installed suppression and detection systems at the primary hazards in this zone ensure rapid detection of a fire and prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Manual firefighting equipment in the zone is adequate for the fire. Propagation to area 2104 is prevented by the full coverage suppression system in area 2104 as is discussed in the area 2104 text.

FIRE PROTECTION Partial preaction sprinkler coverage actuated by a dry pilot system is provided in the west-central part of this zone, which is a potential oil spill/leak section of the zone. Activation of the suppression system results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR. Manual firefighting equipment consists of hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The primary hazards in this zone are those associated with potential oil leakage/rupture and cable insulation. The oil spill section is equipped with a preaction sprinkler system. Actuation of the system results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR to ensure a prompt response by the plant fire brigade. In the event of a failure of the sprinkler system, manual firefighting equipment could be used to extinguish the fire. A fire involving cable would be slow in developing, providing further assurance that detection and suppression would occur in the early stages of the fire. The remaining combustibles are widely separated. Due to the substantial construction of the walls, a fire is not expected to propagate beyond the zone boundaries. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The open boundary on the south side of the zone presents a fire propagation hazard to zone 2101J and area 0101. However, the low combustible loading and large dilution volume in the adjacent turbine building preclude the propagation of the fire to any other adjacent areas or zones. Propagation to area 0101 is not considered credible as is discussed in the texts for areas 2101 and 0101. Propagation to zone 2101J is acceptable since all redundant safe shutdown circuits and components throughout area 2101 have been protected as necessary.

FIRE PROTECTION This zone is equipped with smoke detectors which alarm both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. There is no automatic suppression; however, a CO2 portable fire extinguisher and an H2O hose station are provided for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This zone contains a low loading of combustible material consisting primarily of IEEE-383 qualified, fire retardant cable and transformer oil. There is no barrier between this zone and adjacent zone 2101J which creates a fire propagation possibility to that zone. Due to the large dilution volume of area 2101, significant dilution of combustion products would occur.
Therefore, flashover is not postulated to occur and propagation to adjacent zones is unlikely. In addition, propagation to zone 2101J is acceptable since all redundant safe shutdown circuits and components throughout area 2101 have been protected as appropriate. Propagation to adjacent area 0101 is not considered credible as is discussed in the texts for areas 2101 and 0101.

hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers are located in this area for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from Section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h-rated fire barriers has been granted for the nonrated walls, floor and ceiling, the opening to area 2101, and the open stairwell to area 0007 per the April 1984 NRC SER.
An additional exemption has been requested from the barrier requirements of Section III.G.2, for specific HPCI system circuits routed through this area, as is documented in appendix C of this document. This exemption was withdrawn, as is documented in appendix C of this document.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A design basis fire in this area will primarily involve cable insulation. The cable used at E. I.
Hatch Nuclear Plant is predominantly IEEE-383 qualified, which ensures that the design basis fire will develop and propagate through the area slowly, allowing ample time for response by the plant fire brigade. The reactor feed pump oil conditioner in this area is surrounded by a curb to contain any oil spills or leaks in the immediate vicinity of the conditioner. The conditioner is equipped with a dry pilot actuated water spray system, specifically designed to extinguish this type of fire. The combination of rated and exempted fire barriers surrounding this area, the automatic sprinkler coverage and the available manual firefighting equipment, preclude propagation of the fire to adjacent areas. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier, have been exempted, or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is not equipped with any detection or suppression system. However, the drywell is inerted during power operation, thereby preventing fires from being ignited or sustained. A hose stream can be provided to all parts of this area using the hose stations located in areas 2205 and 2203 during nonpower operation.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS The drywell vessel and shield walls comprise a portion of the boundary between the north and south halves of the reactor building. This boundary, including the drywell walls, has been exempted from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete, 3-h-rated barriers per the April 1984 NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER).
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE During power operation, the drywell is inerted and a fire is not credible. A design basis fire in this area will, therefore, not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown. Per Appendix R to 10 CFR 50.48, no further protection is required. During periods when the drywell is not inerted a fire will not propagate to other fire areas due to the substantial construction and the low combustible loading. In the event of a fire during an outage, the high traffic in the drywell will ensure prompt detection of a fire in its early stages. Existing drywell temperature instruments may also be used for drywell fire detection. Fire detection by either means is expected to result in prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual firefighting equipment in the adjacent areas is adequate to extinguish the fire.
The primary combustibles in this area are concentrated in four specific locations; in each of the two recirculation pumps and each of two cable penetration sections. Curbs are provided under each recirculation pump to contain any oil spills to the localized area of the pump, thereby preventing propagation of a pump lube oil fire throughout the area. The two cable penetration sections are on opposite sides of the area. Each section contains cables of predominantly one safe shutdown path. This separation provides assurance that damage to only one safe shutdown path will result from a fire in this area and that a fire originating in one cable penetration section will not propagate to the other. Similarly, any radioactive materials contained in the area will be confined to the area in the event of a fire.

The east, west, and south walls are 3-h-rated reinforced concrete walls, except the west and west half of the south walls at the 228-ft elevation which are nonrated exterior walls. The north wall is a nonrated, reinforced concrete wall at all elevations, but is adjacent to the 3-h-rated Unit 1 reactor building wall. At the 185-ft elevation there are three fire-rated Class A doors; a double door in the south wall and a door in the east wall, both providing access to area 2205, and a door in the north wall to area 1203. At the 203-ft elevation there are two fire-rated Class A double doors; one in the east wall and one in the south wall, both to area 2205. At el 228 ft, there is a fire-rated Class A door in the south wall providing access to the airlock to the reactor building roof. The room at the top of the stairwell above el 228 ft contains openings to area 0201 (see exemptions).
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION The area is equipped with wet pipe sprinkler systems which are designed to function as a propagation barrier to separate the north half of the reactor building (area 2203) from the south half (area 2205). These systems are described and defined in section 3.4 of this document.
These wet pipe systems are located in the east and west torus room on el 87 ft, in the east corridor on el 130 ft, on the north side of the main steam chase on el 130 ft, and in the east corridor on el 158 ft. The system to the north of the main steam chase on elevation 130 ft deviates from the description by not having all safe shutdown cables within the section of floor covered by the system protected.
The hatchway penetrating the 158-ft elevation ceiling is equipped with a high density, fixed water spray suppression system around the hatch on the 185-ft elevation. In addition, the north half of the building on the 185-ft elevation, with the exception of the drywell, fuel pool, and zone 2205W, is covered with a wet pipe suppression system. The combination of sprinkler systems is designed to preclude propagation of a fire either up or down through the floor or hatch.
An additional wet pipe system is provided in the RCIC pump room. Linear thermal detectors are provided in the reactor building centerline suppression system sections on el 87 ft. Linear thermal detectors are also provided in the RHR pump room on el 87 ft and the CRD area north of the main steam chase on el 130 ft. Smoke detectors are provided in the reactor building centerline suppression system section on the east side of el 130 ft, near the equipment hatches at el 130 ft, and in the east reactor building centerline suppression system section on
HNP-FHA-12 12.3-6 REV 28 11/10 FIRE PROTECTION (cont'd) el 158 ft. Activation of the detection or suppression systems results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR. There are hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers located throughout the area.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the Section III.G.2 requirements of Appendix R has been approved for the nonrated shield walls and open areas separating this area from the south half of the reactor building and for the lack of areawide suppression coverage, per the April 1984 NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER).
An exemption from Section III.G.2 requirements has been approved for certain safe shutdown equipment located under the reactor building centerline suppression systems per the January 1987 NRC SER.
An exemption from the Section III.G.2 requirements for fire barriers has been requested as is documented in appendix C of this document, for the openings from this area to area 0201 at the top of the stairwell. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The north half of the Unit 2 reactor building primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 1 and the south half primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 2. Path 2 systems that are required for safe shutdown and are located in the north half and path 1 systems that are located in the south half of the reactor building and are required for safe shutdown are protected by a 1-h-rated fire barrier. All safe shutdown circuits in the reactor building centerline suppression system sections are protected by a 1-h-rated fire barrier.
The fire detection systems provide reasonable assurance that a fire will be detected in its initial stages before significant damage occurs. The fire will then be suppressed by the automatic systems or manually by the plant fire brigade before it represents a serious threat to safe shutdown systems. The fire suppression systems, fire barriers, the large open areas of the reactor building, and the existing spatial separation between redundant paths provide assurance that one path will remain free of fire damage.
Therefore, a fire in the north half of the Unit 2 reactor building will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in the release of significant radioactivity.

The south boundary is defined by the nonrated drywell in the center, the nonrated main steam pipe chase shield wall on the west side, and by the opening on the east side (along column line R19) to area 2205. A fire-rated Class A door is provided in the west wall, which accesses area 2104. Nonrated doors in the east wall access area 2604 and the outside. In addition, there is a nonrated door in the southwest wall accessing zone 2205H. The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. There are two open stairwells which access zones 2203B and 2203C below and 2203I above. The south wall has several closed hatches which access area 2201 (Drywell). The northeast portion of the ceiling in this zone has an open equipment hatch which accesses zone 2203K above. Closed equipment hatches are provided in the floor which access zone 2203A, zone 2203B, and zone 2203C. A manway to the torus room (zone 2203A) is provided in the northwest portion of the floor. See area 2203 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone is equipped with smoke detectors east of column line RH and linear heat detection west of column line RH. The southeast and southwest portions of this zone along column line R19 are equipped with automatic wet pipe suppression systems designed as a fire propagation barrier. In addition, hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers are provided for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A design basis fire in this zone is expected to be slow developing, consisting primarily of cable insulation and Class A materials. The automatic reactor building centerline suppression system would prevent fire propagation to adjacent zones 2205H and 2205F. Based on a moderate combustible loading, limited penetrations, and substantial wall construction, lateral fire propagation to adjacent zones is not considered probable. The open equipment hatch and open stairwells create a potential propagation threat to zones 2203A, 2203B below, and zones 2203I and 2203K above. Early detection of the slowly developing fire provided by the installed detection systems and prompt action by the plant fire brigade make the propagation beyond this zone unlikely. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. An open doorway accesses zone 2205L. In the northeast portion of this zone there is an open equipment hatch to zones 2205S above and 2203F below. The ceiling of this zone serves as the area boundary between area 2203 and 2205. To ensure that propagation of a fire through this boundary does not occur, the majority of the 185-ft elevation north floor is covered by a wet pipe suppression system and the hatch is equipped with closely spaced, fixed water spray heads around its perimeter.
FIRE PROTECTION A wet pipe sprinkler system designed as a fire propagation barrier is provided over the majority of the east portion of this zone. Smoke detection is also provided in this reactor building centerline suppression system section. Manual firefighting equipment consists of a hose station and portable CO2 fire extinguishers.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of a design basis fire in this zone, the open passageways and hatches create a fire propagation hazard to adjacent areas and zones. The water curtain in the southeast section of this zone is specifically designed to prevent this propagation. Similarly, the sprinkler coverage and directional spray nozzles around the open hatch on the 185-ft elevation are designed to prevent propagation through the hatch. The remainder of the zone boundaries are rated or exempted fire barriers. Smoke and heat from a fire in this zone are expected to actuate the detection system in the southeast part of the zone to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The substantial or rated construction, the installed suppression systems, the likelihood of early detection, and the low combustible loading preclude propagation of the design basis fire beyond the boundaries of this zone. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area, in the unlikely event that it does occur, will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

A high density, fixed water spray suppression system is provided around the equipment hatch at the 185-ft elevation. The combination of suppression systems on el 185 ft is designed to prevent propagation of a fire either up or down through the floor or hatch.
Additional suppression systems include; a wet pipe system in zone 2205Z, a preaction system in zone 2205N, and individual water spray systems for the charcoal filters in zones 2205N, 2205Q, 2205T, and 1205V. Linear thermal heat detectors are provided in the reactor building centerline suppression system sections on el 87 ft in zone 2205B and in zones 2205F and 2205H on the 130-ft elevation. Smoke detectors are provided in the southeast corner of the 130-ft elevation (in the vicinity of the stairwell and hatches), in the reactor building centerline suppression system section of the 130-ft elevation, throughout zone 2205N, and in the reactor building centerline suppression system section on the 158-ft elevation. Thermal detectors are provided for the water spray systems in all filters containing charcoal. Activation of any of the detection or suppression systems results in both local and MCR alarms. The area is equipped with hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers for manual firefighting.
HNP-FHA-12 12.3-23 REV 28 11/10 APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the Section III.G.2 requirements has been approved for the nonrated walls, openings and open areas separating this area from the north half of the reactor building for the nonrated steam blowout panel between this area and area 0101 and for the lack of full area suppression coverage per the April 1984 NRC SER.
Requests for exemptions from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h-rated barriers have been submitted as is documented in appendix C of this document for the nonrated refueling floor and refueling floor access stairwell doghouses. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
In addition, exemptions from the Section III.G.2 separation requirements have been approved for certain safe shutdown components located under the reactor building centerline suppression systems and for HPCI system components located in this area, per the January 1987 NRC SER.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The north half of the Unit 2 reactor building primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 1 and the south half primarily contains components and cables for safe shutdown path 2. Path 2 systems that are located in the north half and path 1 systems that are located in the south half of the reactor building and are required for safe shutdown are protected by a 1-h fire-rated barrier.
All safe shutdown circuits required for safe shutdown for both paths are protected by a 1-h fire-rated barrier in the reactor building centerline suppression system sections.
The fire detection systems provide reasonable assurance that a fire will be detected in its initial stages before significant damage occurs. The fire will then be suppressed by the automatic systems or manually by the plant fire brigade before it represents a serious threat to shutdown systems. The fire suppression systems, fire barriers, the large open areas of the reactor building, and the existing spatial separation between redundant safe shutdown paths provide assurance that one path will remain free of fire damage.

HNP-FHA-12 12.3-25 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The north wall is nonrated, reinforced concrete and steel drywell. The north boundary of the zone is open to zone 2203A on the east and west sides of the drywell along column line R19.
The entire northern perimeter of this zone constitutes an exempted boundary (see area 2205).
The south and west walls are reinforced concrete and are 3-h rated. The east, southeast, and southwest walls are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The ceiling and floor are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The ceiling has several concrete and metal hatchways to zone 2205F and a steam vent opening to zone 2205H. Area 2201 (drywell and torus) is separated from area 2205 in this zone by the nonrated steel torus vessel and downcomer walls. See area 2205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION This zone is equipped with partial coverage linear heat detection and wet pipe sprinklers.
Reactor building centerline suppression systems are provided from the northern zone boundary at column line R19, extending approximately 20 ft south of column line R19 in the northeast and northwest quadrants of this zone. The zone is provided with hose stations and a portable CO2 fire extinguisher for manual firefighting. Activation of a detection or suppression system results in an alarm, both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The suppression systems in this zone are designed to prevent fire propagation through the open sections along column line R19 to area 2203. Activation of the detection or suppression systems provides an alarm both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The installed suppression and detection systems along with the low fire loading and substantial wall construction preclude propagation of the design basis fire beyond the boundaries of this zone.

There are several concrete covered equipment hatchways and an open stairwell which provide access to zone 2205F above. A nonrated, watertight door in the southeast corner provides access to zone 2205Z. See area 2205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone is equipped with full coverage linear heat detection which provides an early warning alarm both locally and in the MCR to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The zone is not equipped with an automatic fire suppression system; however, a hose station and portable CO2 extinguishers are provided for manual firefighting. Additional hose stations are available in zone 2205F.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of design basis fire, the substantial construction of the walls, containing a limited number of open penetrations, precludes fire propagation to adjacent zones and areas. The open stairwell represents a potential threat of fire propagation to zone 2205F above; however, the primary combustible in this zone is cable which is predominately IEEE-383 qualified which ensures a slow developing fire. This, coupled with an early warning provided by the full coverage linear heat detection system, would ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade to extinguish the fire by utilizing the available manual firefighting equipment in the zone. The nonrated, watertight door which accesses zone 2205Z also poses some threat as a potential propagation path, however, due to the low combustible loading and the likelihood of early detection and suppression of a fire, it is unlikely that propagation would occur. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in any release of radioactivity.

FIRE PROTECTION The zone is not provided with any detection or automatic suppression system. However, the zone is equipped with hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers for manual firefighting. An additional hose station is available in zone 2205F.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This zone contains a low loading of combustible materials. The low fire loading and substantial construction preclude the propagation of a design basis fire beyond the boundaries of the zone, except potentially through the open stairwell. However, the low fire loading and large dilution volume of zone 2205F above this zone minimize this possibility. Detection of a fire in this zone would likely result from the linear thermal detection in the vicinity of the stairwell in zone 2205F, further reducing the probability of propagation. The available firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish a fire. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in the release of any radioactivity.

The floor is nonrated concrete with two open stairwells which provide access to zones 2205B and 2205C. In addition, there are several concrete covered equipment hatches which provide access to zone 2205A, zone 2205B, and zone 2205C below. The ceiling is nonrated, reinforced concrete with one open stairwell to zone 2205I. There is one fire-rated Class A door in the southwest corner of the zone accessing area 2301. In addition, there is one nonrated door accessing zone 2205H. See area 2205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION Detection is provided by smoke detectors east of column line RH (except in the piping penetration room) and by linear heat detection west of column line RH in this zone. The opening to area 2203 is equipped with a reactor building centerline suppression system extending into this zone approximately 35 ft south of column line R19. In addition, hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers are provided for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A design basis fire in this zone is expected to be slow developing, consisting primarily of IEEE-383 qualified cable insulation and Class A materials. The automatic reactor building centerline suppression system would prevent fire propagation to adjacent area 2203. Based on a low combustible loading, limited penetrations, and substantial wall construction, the boundaries of this zone are adequate to contain a fire. The open equipment hatch and open stairwells create a potential propagation threat to zones 2205A, 2205B, and 2205C below and zone 2205I above; however, the design basis fire is slow developing and the full coverage detection system would ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade to prevent fire propagation by utilizing the available manual firefighting equipment in the zone.

There are two open stairwells along the east wall accessing zones 2205F below and zone 2205R above.
The shield wall for the RWCU heat exchangers (zone 2205L) is provided with a removable block section for equipment removal. See area 2205 zone for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone is equipped with partial coverage of smoke detectors and wet pipe sprinklers designed as a fire propagation barrier in the opening between this zone and area 2203 between column line R19 and approximately column line R23. Actuation of either the detection or suppression system results in both local and MCR alarms, which ensures prompt response by the plant fire brigade. In addition, the zone is equipped with hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of design basis fire, early detection may not occur unless the fire initially developed in the northeast quadrant, which is equipped with smoke detectors. The automatic reactor building centerline suppression system would prevent the only potential fire propagation into area 2203. The open stairwells accessing zone 2205F and zone 2205R and the open doorways to zone 2205L represent propagation threats. However, a fire is expected to be slow developing, consisting primarily of cable insulation. Due to the low combustible loading and substantial wall construction with limited penetrations, a fire would not be expected to propagate beyond this zone. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area, in the unlikely event that it does occur, will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

FIRE PROTECTION This zone contains no detection, automatic suppression, or manual firefighting equipment; however, manual firefighting equipment consisting of hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers is available in adjacent zone 2205I and adjacent area 2203.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Early detection of a fire in this zone is improbable; however, a fire in this zone is unlikely due to the negligible combustible loading. Propagation of a fire will not occur through the openings to zones 2203K and 2205I since the sprinkler systems in zones 2203K and 2205I are expected to actuate to prevent propagation.

Access to the zone is via an open doorway from zone 2205L in the east wall. Credit is taken for the substantial concrete construction of the north wall to provide separation of the north and south halves of the reactor building per an approved Appendix R exemption (see area 2205 text). The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. See area 2205 for penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION The zone contains no automatic fire suppression, detection, or manual firefighting equipment.
In the unlikely event of a fire in this zone, there is manual firefighting equipment consisting of portable CO2 fire extinguishers and hose stations in zone 2205I, which can be accessed through adjacent zone 2205L. A hose stream can be provided to this zone using multiple lengths of fire hose.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The only fire postulated for this zone would involve controlled amounts of transient combustibles. In the unlikely event of a significant fire due to the introduction of transient combustibles, the open doorway in the east wall creates a fire propagation hazard to adjacent zone 2205L. However, due to the lack of fixed combustibles, the absence of any intervening combustibles in the adjacent zone, and the extremely substantial construction of the balance of the zone boundaries, propagation of a fire outside of this zone is precluded.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire is postulated to be slow developing, consisting primarily of charcoal and IEEE-383 cable insulation. The charcoal is concentrated in the HVAC filters which are equipped with heat detection and manually activated suppression systems; therefore, fire propagation is unlikely. In the event of a design basis fire in the zone, the detection system in the filters would provide early warning alarms in the local area and in the MCR to assure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The fire brigade will initiate the water spray system in the filter unit to suppress the fire.

Propagation of the fire to adjacent zones 2205S and 2205U is precluded by the wet pipe suppression system in these zones. The substantial construction with limited penetrations and the low combustible loading make it unlikely for a fire to propagate to any other adjacent zones.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE In the event of a design basis fire, actuation of the suppression systems in the zone will result in both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The construction is substantial and the expected fire severity is sufficiently low to preclude fire propagation to adjacent zones 2505W and 2205R. The open equipment hatch and open hallway pose some threat of propagation to area 2203 and zone 2205Y and to zone 2205R, respectively. Propagation to zone 2205R or 2205Y is acceptable since both zones rely on path 1 for safe shutdown. However, the installed full coverage suppression system is expected to rapidly extinguish any fire which might occur. The automatic high density suppression system around the equipment hatch is designed to preclude propagation of a design basis fire through the hatch in either direction. Propagation is therefore not expected to occur. The manual firefighting equipment provided in this zone is adequate to extinguish any fire which may occur.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire is postulated to be a slow developing fire consisting primarily of charcoal and cable insulation. The charcoal is concentrated in the reactor building vent filter which is equipped with heat detection and water spray systems. In the event of a design basis fire in the zone, the detection system in the filters would provide early warning alarms in the local area and in the MCR to assure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The fire brigade will initiate the water spray system in the filter unit to suppress the fire. The water spray systems are specifically designed for extinguishing this type of fire. In the event the water spray system fails, prompt response by the plant fire brigade utilizing the manual firefighting equipment available could extinguish or contain a fire in this zone. The installed detection and suppression systems, the substantial wall construction with limited penetrations, and the low combustible loading preclude fire propagation outside this zone.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire is postulated to be slow developing, consisting primarily of IEEE-383 qualified cable insulation. The open south end of the zone to zone 2205R presents the greatest threat of fire propagation; however, the low combustible loading and lack of intervening combustibles in this zone significantly reduce the hazard of fire propagation. Actuation of the suppression system in this zone will provide both local and MCR alarms, which ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The substantial wall construction with limited penetrations and the reactor building centerline suppression system are capable of suppressing or containing a fire within the zone. Propagation of a fire to adjacent zones in this area will not affect the capability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

The west wall consists of the nonrated but substantially constructed dryer/separator pool, the drywell, and the refuel pool walls. The remaining walls are reactor building exterior walls. The floor is nonrated, reinforced concrete with an open stairwell down to zone 2205R. There is also an open hatch down to zone 2205S. The ceiling is nonrated, reinforced concrete with an open stairwell and a closed hatch up to area 0201. The ceiling consists of the refueling floor, a part of secondary containment which assures that all penetrations in the ceiling are closed and airtight sealed. See area 0201 for an evaluation of this area boundary. The stairwell is enclosed in a block "doghouse" on the 228-ft elevation with a nonrated door.
FIRE PROTECTION There are no detection or automatic suppression systems in this zone. Manual firefighting equipment consists of hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Due to extremely substantial construction of the zone boundaries, the only credible propagation paths for a design basis fire in this zone are through the open stairwell and hatches. All of the combustibles in this zone are concentrated toward the center of the zone, away from these potential propagation paths. Propagation up through the stairwell to area 0201 is not considered credible as discussed in the text for area 0201. Propagation down through the hatches and stairwells is unlikely due to the lack of intervening combustibles. In the event that propagation does occur through the hatch or stairwell in the north part of this zone, actuation of the hatch water spray system and/or general area wet pipe sprinklers on the 185-ft elevation is expected. Actuation of these suppression systems will provide both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. Propagation through these openings or the stairwell in the south part of the zone will affect only other zones of area 2205 which assures damage to only one safe shutdown path.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The only credible propagation of the design basis fire is through the north wall of this zone. This propagation is acceptable since only other zones of area 2205 would be damaged, thereby limiting fire damage to one safe shutdown path. In the event of a design basis fire, the substantial or rated wall construction coupled with the limited number of penetrations would limit the potential for fire propagation to adjacent areas or zones.

Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION This area is equipped with smoke detection in the radwaste control room (RCR) which provides both local and main control room (MCR) alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The exhaust filters are equipped with a heat detector actuated water spray suppression system. The dry waste storage area is covered with a wet pipe sprinkler system.
Manual firefighting equipment consists of hose stations and portable CO2 fire extinguishers throughout the area.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area may propagate among zones of the area through the open and nonrated zone boundaries, particularly in the few places where local concentrations of combustibles are located near openings between zones. This propagation is acceptable within the area since no safe shutdown circuits or components are located in the area. The effects of a fire on the radwaste systems have been previously analyzed as described in the Unit 2 FSAR. No significant radioactive releases were determined to result from exposure of these systems to fire. All radwaste building exterior walls are approximately 2 ft thick. The design basis fire is not considered capable of breaching these area boundaries. In addition, all sections of this area that contain specific fire hazards (charcoal filters) or high concentrations of combustibles (dry waste storage area, RCR) are equipped with detection, suppression, or both. The combustible loading in many zones is negligible and is very low throughout the area. Although the internal walls are nonrated and contain openings between zones, they are of substantial, reinforced concrete construction. Actuation of any of the detection or suppression systems, expected to occur in the incipient stages of a fire, will provide both local and MCR alarms to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The available manual firefighting equipment is adequate to extinguish any fire which might occur. Therefore, propagation of a fire among zones is considered unlikely; propagation outside of the area is not credible. A fire in this area will not affect the capability to achieve or maintain safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

FIRE PROTECTION The west central part of this zone over the drywaste storage section, is equipped with a wet pipe suppression system. The rest of the zone has no detection or automatic suppression coverage. This zone is provided with an H2O hose station and portable CO2 fire extinguishers for manual firefighting.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The drywaste storage section of this zone contains the bulk of the combustibles in the zone. A fire originating in this section is expected to be rapidly extinguished by the installed wet pipe sprinkler system. In addition, alarms resulting from actuation of the suppression system over the drywaste storage section ensure early fire detection and prompt response by the plant fire brigade. The open stairwells and doorways represent a fire propagation possibility to adjacent zones; however the low combustible loading and the likelihood of early fire detection preclude fire propagation. Propagation of a fire to other zones in this area, in the unlikely event that it does occur, will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown.

HNP-FHA-12 12.6-2 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The valve pit is constructed with reinforced concrete walls and floor, approximately 14 ft below grade. The "roof" is grating with access hatch. This construction is defined as a separate fire area due to a spatial separation of greater than 20 ft between this and any other plant areas.
There are two conduit runs between this area and area 2602 (service water valve pit 2B).
These are not considered to be propagation paths due to their small size, long length, and the negligible combustible loading in both areas. Since this is an open yard area, there are no other penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION Two hydrants, one to the west and one to the southeast of the valve pits, are accessible for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS
An exemption from the literal requirements in Section III.G.2 for complete 3-h barriers has been requested for this area as documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area is considered to be due to transient combustibles. A fire involving transient combustibles within this area will result in no unacceptable consequences, since loss of the redundant safe shutdown circuits in the area may be compensated for by manual actions. The only fires of concern are external exposure fires involving both this area and area 2602 (service water valve pit 2B). These areas are separated by approximately 30 ft.
An asphalt road runs between the two areas and is not considered a propagation path due to a lack of any ignition sources or combustibles sufficient to transfer enough heat to the asphalt material to raise it to its ignition temperature. The only transient combustible presenting an exposure fire hazard to both areas is the truck transport of fuel oil to the auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank. The only credible mechanism for a large spill of fuel oil is human error during refilling operations. The auxiliary boiler fuel oil tank is greater than 50 ft from the valve pits. The grade from the tank slopes to a yard drain near the tank which is still greater than 50 ft from the pits.
Each pit has a 6-in. curb at the edge of the road to prevent the entrance of liquid combustibles.
Thus, a fire in or near this area does not affect the ability to safely shut down the plant. This area contains no radioactive materials which could be released in the event of a fire.

HNP-FHA-12 12.6-6 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The condensate storage tank and pump enclosure are constructed with reinforced concrete walls approximately 20 ft high on a reinforced concrete slab. The "ceiling" is open. Access is via metal stairs on the side of the enclosure. Since this is an open yard area, there are no penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no detection or automatic suppression system in the area. A hydrant is located at the northeast corner of the enclosure.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the literal requirements in Section III.G.2 for complete 3-h barriers has been requested for this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE A fire in this area that damages redundant safe shutdown equipment is not considered credible for the following reasons:
- 1. The majority of the combustibles in this fire area are small quantities associated with dress out areas at the top of the access stairs. These are separated from the nearest safe shutdown components by at least 15 ft.
- 2. Due to the very limited amount of equipment inside the enclosure, there is little likelihood of transients commonly associated with maintenance and modification activities being introduced. Similarly, there is little likelihood for the introduction of ignition sources.
- 3. The only safe shutdown components are located on opposite sides of the condensate storage tank and are not susceptible to a single exposure fire. The circuits associated with these components are routed in conduit, which provides a sufficient radiant heat shield for the low concentration of combustibles.
- 4. The condensate tank enclosure is sufficiently constructed to protect safe shutdown components from a fire external to the enclosure.
In addition, the available manual suppression is adequate to extinguish any insignificant fire which may occur. A fire in this area will not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown or result in a significant release of radioactivity.

HNP-FHA-12 12.6-8 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The hot machine shop area, including the Unit 2 nitrogen storage tank enclosure, is constructed of nonrated, reinforced concrete. The north wall is adjacent to area 1604 and forms a part of the nitrogen tank enclosure. There is a double, nonrated airlock door in the north wall accessing area 1604. The west wall, adjacent to areas 1203 and 2203, contains a nonrated door accessing area 2203. The east and south walls are exterior building walls. The south wall has two nonrated doors accessing the outside. The floor and ceiling are nonrated, reinforced concrete. The enclosure around the nitrogen tank is constructed with partial height walls and is open at the top.
Penetrations in the area boundaries are either equal to or greater in rating than the penetrated barrier, have been exempted, or have been evaluated as acceptable as is documented in appendix I of this document.
FIRE PROTECTION The machine shop portion of this area is equipped with smoke detectors; the nitrogen tank portion has no detection or suppression system. The area is also equipped with portable CO2 fire extinguishers and hose stations for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS An exemption from the Section III.G.2 requirement for complete 3-h barriers has been requested for this area as is documented in appendix C of this document. However, per the January 1987 NRC SER, no exemption is required, based on part 4 of the NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE Due to the negligible combustible loading in the area, a fire of significant size is not considered credible. The design basis fire is not of sufficient magnitude to be capable of breaching the nonrated reactor building exterior wall adjacent to this area due to the substantial construction of the wall as both a reactor building exterior wall of solid concrete approximately 2 ft thick and as a secondary containment boundary with airtight sealed penetrations. Similarly, the design basis fire is not expected to propagate through any of the other exterior walls of this area to present an exposure fire hazard to any other areas. A fire in this area will result in only localized damage. Since there are no safe shutdown circuits in the area, the only impact on safe shutdown capability would be the loss of the Unit 2 nitrogen system. Safe shutdown can be achieved using the Unit 1 nitrogen system. This area contains minimal amounts of surface contaminated radioactive materials. Release of these materials in the event of a fire is not expected to occur since propagation of a fire outside of the area is not expected.

FIRE PROTECTION This area contains portable CO2 fire extinguishers. Fire hydrants are located near the condensate storage tanks and the cooling towers. No automatic detection or suppression systems are provided.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area is assumed to result in the loss of both Unit 2 circulating water pumps. However, the pumps are not required for safe shutdown. Other safe shutdown circuits and components are either embedded or located on the sides of the intake flume or the on the top of the pit wall. Loss of the circuits has been evaluated as acceptable by Bechtel calculation 66-2601. The components have been demonstrated to fail in the required position due to effects of the fire by the same calculation. Due to the low combustible loading, the substantial, below grade construction of the pit, and the large (greater than 50 ft) spatial separation of the pit from any other fire areas, propagation of the design basis fire outside of this area is not considered credible.

HNP-FHA-12 12.6-12 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION This open area contains six large oil filled transformers, mounted on concrete pads surrounded by gravel, which are designed to contain any oil spills to a localized area. All six transformers are located within 50 ft of the turbine building exterior wall, which forms the east boundary of the area. The transformer cases are constructed of heavy sheet steel. Since this is an open yard area, there are no penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION Each transformer is equipped with a fixed automatic water spray suppression system activated by a dry pilot system in the transformers. The area is served by three fire hydrants. The fire protection valve house is equipped with a portable dry chemical fire extinguisher for manual firefighting. In addition, the high visibility and traffic in the area would provide rapid detection of any fire and ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade which is trained in the fighting of transformer fires.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area presents an exposure fire hazard to the Unit 2 turbine building. The guidance of Appendix A to BTP 9.5-1 position D.1.h indicates that oil filled transformers within 50 ft of the safety-related structures should have any openings in the separating wall sealed to a 3-h rating.
Three transformers in this area are less than 20 ft from the turbine building exterior wall; three transformers are less than 40 ft from the same wall. The turbine building contains circuits for both safe shutdown paths. This arrangement is considered acceptable since:
(1) The only openings in the turbine building west wall in proximity to these transformers are the switchgear control cable tray and the main plant bus ducts; (2) Radiant and convected heat entering the openings will be rapidly diluted in the large volume of the turbine building; (3) Each transformer is provided with an automatic water spray system;
(4) Only one safe shutdown path will be affected in the unlikely event a fire propagates to the turbine building.
(5) The PPT transformer is separated from the station auxiliary transformers by a fire barrier.
(6) A fluid detection curb is provided around the PPT transformer.

Since this is an open yard area, there are no penetrations.
FIRE PROTECTION A fire hydrant is located to the east of the valve pit. No other detection or suppression systems are provided.
APPENDIX R EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE There is no design basis fire postulated for this area due to the lack of fixed combustibles. An exposure fire to this area or a fire in this area due to the introduction of transient combustibles is unlikely due to the separation of this pit from other fire areas and since normal activities would not result in more than a negligible transient combustible loading. In the unlikely event of a fire in this area, no adverse impact on the ability to achieve safe shutdown would result since fire induced damage to all of the safe shutdown circuits and components in this area has been analyzed as acceptable. Manual firefighting equipment (hydrants) for this area is adequate to extinguish any fire which may occur as the result of the introduction of transient combustibles.

CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area contains no safe shutdown or safety-related equipment and presents no exposure fire hazard to any safe shutdown or safety-related equipment. A fire in this area is not expected to propagate due to the combination of fixed suppression systems, gravel paving designed to contain any oil spills in a localized area, and large spatial separation from all other areas of the plant. The available manual firefighting equipment and high visibility of this area enhance the likelihood that any fires would be quickly detected and extinguished by the plant fire brigade.

HNP-FHA-12 12.7-2 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The cooling towers are constructed with concrete end walls, concrete dividing walls between sections, and a concrete basin. The spray diffuser frames are metal and the diffuser fill material is plastic. The switchgear house is constructed of sheet metal on a wood frame over a concrete slab. Since this is an open yard area, not important to safe shutdown and located away from other plant areas, penetrations are not sealed.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no suppression system for fire protection in this area. The switchgear house is equipped with smoke detectors and portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers. Both local and main control room (MCR) alarms are provided to indicate detection system actuation to ensure prompt response by the plant fire brigade. In addition, hydrants are provided near this area for manual firefighting.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area contains no safe shutdown equipment and does not present an exposure fire hazard to any other plant areas. There are no radioactive materials in the area which could be released in the event of a fire. The installed detection is expected to promptly notify the plant operators and the plant fire brigade to extinguish any fires which might occur. The open area around the towers and the numerous hydrants provided enhance the ability of the plant fire brigade to manually fight any fires. A fire in this area is not expected to impair the ability to safely shut down the plant or to result in any radioactive release.

HNP-FHA-12 12.7-8 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The fire area consists of a precast, nonrated, concrete modular structure with a concrete slab foundation. The structure is located adjacent to the Unit 2 turbine building east wall, south end.
Since this is an outside yard building not important to safe shutdown, penetrations are not required to be sealed.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no suppression or detection system in this area. Hose stations and portable fire extinguishers are provided locally and in the adjacent turbine building. A hydrant is located nearby to the east of this area.
APPENDIX "R" EXEMPTIONS None.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE The design basis fire for this area is considered insignificant due to the low combustible loading and separation of this area from all other plant areas. In the unlikely event of a significant fire in this area due to the introduction of transient combustibles, there may be a propagation hazard to the adjacent turbine building. However, propagation to the turbine building is not considered credible since:
- 1) This is an outside area; any heat generated would be rapidly dissipated.
- 2) The turbine building wall is substantial, reinforced concrete containing only one small penetration within 30 ft of this area.
- 3) Radiant and convected heat entering the turbine building would be rapidly dissipated in the large, open volume of the turbine building.
In addition, if propagation does occur, only one safe shutdown path will be affected. A design basis fire in this area will therefore not affect the ability to achieve safe shutdown and will not result in any radioactive release.

HNP-FHA-12 12.7-10 REV 28 11/10 CONSTRUCTION The Unit 2 helper cooling tower is a concrete structure assembled from precast or prestressed concrete components. The structural framing is precast reinforced concrete. The fan deck consists of concrete panels. The tower wall is constructed of concrete panels extending down from the fan deck to the top of the air inlet. The cooling tower is divided into 12 cells separated by concrete panels with concrete windscreens on the end cells.
The heat exchanger consists of formed plastic sheets in modules supported from below by structural members and covering the entire interior plan area of the tower. The water distribution piping is PVC. The fan stacks are constructed of heavy, ribbed fire-retardant fiberglass panels bolted together.
The electrical equipment building is a small structure housing the cooling tower MCCs and is a separate building from the cooling tower. The electrical equipment building has a metal structural frame, as well as metal siding and roof. The floor is concrete.
FIRE PROTECTION There is no automatic fire detection or suppression at this building. A hydrant is located approximately 40 ft to the north and 90 ft to the west. Other hydrants are in the area nearby.
CONSEQUENCES OF DESIGN BASIS FIRE This area contains no safe-shutdown or safety-related equipment, and presents no exposure fire hazard to any safe-shutdown or safety-related equipment. A fire in this area is not expected to propagate toward any other plant structures due to its noncombustible concrete construction.
Since the combustible loading of this area is low and no safety-related components are resident, a design basis fire is not expected to have any adverse effect on the ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown.
