During the inspection, certain violations of these NRC requirements were identified.

In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR 2, Appendix C, the viola-tions are set forth below.

A.

The Facility Operating Licenses for Units 1 and 2, dated September 28, 1983 and Harch 23, 1984 respectively, require that the licensee shall fully implement and maintain all provisions of the approved fire protection program contained in the licensee's Fire Protection Review Report (FPRR),

NFPA 90A requires tha" fire dampers shall be functionally tested every 12 months.

Contrary to the above, as of February 15,

1985, the licensee did not maintain certain provisions of the FPRR in that the fire dampers, installed in the walls the licensee committed in the FPRR to maintain as fire barriers (for example, Lube Oil Reservoir Rooms in Units 1 and 2), were not functionally tested.
