The, coIlectfve capability of the fire suppressioa systems is adequate to minimize potential damage to safety related equipmeat and is a ma)or element ia tha facility fire protection program.

Za the event that ono or. moro of the required low pressure CO systems are isolated for personnel protection, to permit eatry fox'oute&

tours j maiatsasnce f constructf on. or suzveiIIance testing, the fire detection system(s) required by specification 3'3.3.7 shall be varffied to ba operable sad a Roving, Fixe Watch Patx'ol established fa the affected areas>

The Roving Fire Watch Patrol(s) shall consist of one or mors porsoas knowledgeable of the location and operatioa of'ire ffghtfng equipment aad good fire pxotection/pezsonnel safety pxactices such as maiatenanca of access and egress routes sad personnel accountability maasux'es.

The functions of the Rovfng Fize Watch Patrol can be fulfilledby paxsonnol involved in other tasks (e.g.tan oporator on tour) pxovided that such yexsonael fulfilled the above stated requfrements.

hs a minimum, each

-area affected by aa.isolated low pressure CO systcN must be visited avery'twenty-five (25) to thirty-fivo (35) minutes by the Roving Ffze Watch Patzol..

Such moasures wfil provide the necessary level of ffra pzotactfon while affording aecessaxy provisions for personnel safety.

Zn the event that portions of the*fix'a suppression systems ara faoperablo, alternate backup ffx'e-fighting equipmaat is x'equfx'ed to be made available fa tho'affected ax'eas until the iaoporablo equipment fs restored to servfce.

When tho inoperable ffro-ffghting equipment ia intended for use as a backup maaas of fire suppression, a longex period of tfme is allowed to provide aa alternate moano of ffra-fighting than if tho fnoperablo equipmeat fs tho primary meaas of fize supprissioa.

The suzvefilance requirements provide, aasuraaca that the minimum OPERABILITY zequix'ements of tha fira suppx'ossion systems axe met.

hn allowance fs made for ensuring a sufficient volume of Haloa aad CO2 in the storage taaks by verifying either the weight, level, or px'essuxo'f tho tanks.

\\

In the event the fire suppression watez system becomes inoperablo, fmmediate corrective measures must be taken sfnce this system provides the ma)or fire suppression capability of tho plant.

The requirement fox a twenty-four houx report to the Commission provides for promyt evaluatioa of the acceptability of the corrective measuxes to provide adequate fire suppression capability for the contiauad protection of the nucleaz plant.

This design feature mfnfmfzes the possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several areas of the facility prior to detection and extinguishment.

The penetration fire barriers are a passive element fn the facility fire protection program and are subject to periodic inspections.

During perfods of time when the barriers are not functional, a con-tinuous fire watch is required to be maintained fn the vicinity of the affected barr.fer until the barrier fs restored to,functional status.

BASES 3/4 ~ 7+8 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMIHATION The limitations on removable contamination for sources x'squiring leak testing, including alpha emittars, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(c) its for plutonium.,

This lactation wiD ensure that leakage from byproduct,

source, and special nuclear material sources willnot exceed allowable intake values.

3 4.7.9 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS The OPERABILXTY of the fire suppzession systems ensures that adequate fixe suppzession capability is available to confine and extinguish fixes occurring in any portion of the facility where safety related equipment is located.

The fire suppxession systam consists of the water system, spxsy and/or spzinklazs, CO, Halon and fire hose stations.

The collective capability of the Bra suppression iystsms ia adequate to minimize potential damage to safety related equipment and is a moor elemeze in the facility fire protection program.

The Roving Fire Watch Patzol(s) shaD consist of one ox moxa persons knowledgeable of the location and operation of fixe fighting equipment and good fixe protection/persoIlnel saf ety practices such as maintenance of access and egx'ess zoutes and personnel accountability measux'es.

The functions of the Roving Fire Watch Patrol can be fulfilled by pezsonnel involved in other tasks (e.g.

an operator on tour) provided that such peraoinel fulfilled the above stated requirements.

As a minimum, each area affected by an isolated low pressux'e CO system must ba visited every twenty-.five (25) to thizty-five (35) minutes'y the Roving Fiza Watch Patrol.

Such measures willprovide tha necessazy level of fire protection while affording necessary provisions for personnel safety.

In the event that portions of the fire suppression systems are inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the inoperable equipment is restored to service.

When the inoperable fire-fighting equipment is intended for use'~~"~ backup. means of fire suppxassion, a longex'aziod of tMe is allowed to provide sn alternate'means of fire fighting than if the inoperable equipment is the pzimaxy means of fire suppression.
