Dear Mr. Knighton:
This will confirm the April 25, 1985 telephone call from D. K. Neal of our staff to Mr. D. J. Kubicki, NRC Fire Protection Reviewer.
In the
- FSAR, Section 9B.3, we indicated that we meet the fire fighting requirements for extra air supply bottles and a minimum 6-hour supply of reserve air.
Me also stated that "A breathing air compressor is available."
This was planned to be in addition to the required air supplies.
This compressor, however, is not installed yet due to currently unresolved installation design engineering questions on its location and the type of structure needed to house it.
These questions are being addressed by engineering
- and, when they are resolved, it is still our desire to install it for convenience rather than buying air from a commercial supplier.
The required 6-hour reserve air supply for fire fighting is met with bottled air.
To correct the FSAR, we are hereby submitting a draft of a revised page dele'ting the sentence "A breathing air compressor is available."
Mr. Kubicki indicated that he foresaw no particular problem with this change and would include a statement in an SER supplement covering several other fire protection items to be written soon.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. M. F. Quinn of my staff.
Very truly y our~
E.
