Company, R.

E. Ginna Nuclear Station Docket No.

50-244, License No.

DPR-18 As= a result of the inspection conducted on November 15-17,

1988, and in accordance with the "General Statement. Policy and Procedure, for NRC Enforcement Actions",

10CFR Part 2, Appendix C (Enforcement Policy 1988) the following violations were identified:

A.

10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III.G requires that fire protection features be provided to safe shutdown components so that one train of

.systems required to achieve hot shutdown is free of fire damage.

One method of ensuring that one of the redundant trains remains free of fige damage is the enclosure. of cables and equipment in a fire barrier having a one hour rating.

Contrary to the above, as a result of an inspection conducted on September 8-22, 1988, it was determined that the redundant train that provides steam generator pressure

.indication would not be free of damage by a fire in the Intermediate Building, elevation 253'-6"

~

Also, the redundant train that provides primary coolant make up would not be free of damage from a fire in the Auxiliary Building, Fire area ABBM.

These redundant safe shutdown trains would be damaged by fire because the one hour fire barrier provided for cable enclosure was improperly installed.

The improperly installed fire barrier was the one hour rated fire wrap which protects conduit R975 for steam generator pressure indication and the fire wrap of conduits L400 and L398 required for the operation of charging pump lA.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).

B, License Condition C.(3) Fire Protection, requires that the licensee maintain in effect all fire protection features described in the NRC's Fire Protection Safety Evaluation (SE) dated February 14, 1979.

The SE in paragraph

3. 1.31 requires that quarterly fire drills be conducted for each shift brigade and in paragraph 6.2 it requires that the quarterly drills be preplanned.
