Section 8.2, charges each department's foreman/supervisor with the responsibility to contact plant fire protection personnel in the Protection Services Department for an evaluation of the impact of combustible materials needed to support work activities on the maximum allowed total combustible fire loading for the fire zone as described in the UFSAR, Section 4.0, "Fire Hazards Analysis,"
and in the Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) report.
Contrary to the above, as of March 10, 1998, the licensee failed to implement AP 0010434.
Specifically, health physics personnel placed a metal cabinet containing combustible paper supplies, step-off pads, and radiological tape in the 1B electrical penetration room without the appropriate notification of plant fire protection personnel in the Protection Services Department for an evaluation of the impact of combustible materials on the maximum allowed total combustible fire loading for the fire zone.
