The requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergoconditions.

a performance evaluation in view of their age and operating These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service life. The requirements for the maintenance of records and the snubber service life review, are not intended to affect plant operation. ~ %

~ t The number of snubbers to be functionally tested duiing each surveillance is based on dalculations performed to allow extension of the surveillance interval from 18 months to 24'onths, and therefore, the number. of snubbers functionally tested deviates from the numbei required by the Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications (NUREG-0452, Revision 4).

3 4.7.8 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters, is based on XO CFR 70.39(c) limits for.

plutonium. This limitation will ensure that leakage from byproduct, source, and special nuclear material sources will not exceed allowable intake values.

3 4.7.9 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in any portion of the facility wheze safety related equipment is located. The, fire suppression systems consists of the water system, spray and/or sprink3.ers, C02, Halon, and fire hose stations. The collective capability of the fire suppression systems is adequate to minimize potential damage to safety related equipment and is a major element in the facility fire protection program.

In the event that one or more C02 Suppression System requiring automatic actuation must be isolated for personal protection to permit entry for routine tours, maintenance, construction, or surveillance testing in the protected area, the fire, detection system(s) required to 'be operable by Specification 3.3.3.7 shall be verifiqd to be operable.

BASES 3 4 9 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in any portion of the facility where safety related equipment is located. The fire suppression systems consist of the water system, spray and/or sprinklers, C02, Halon and fire hose stations. The collective capability of the fire suppression systems is adequate to minimize potential damage to safety-related equipment and is a major element in the facility fire protection program.

In the event that one or more C02 suppression systems requiring automatic, actuation must be isolated for personal protection to permit entry for routine tours, maintenance, construction, or surveillance testing in the protected area, the fire detection system(s) required to be OPERABLE by Specification 3.3.3.7 shall be verified to be OPERABLE. Isolation of an automatic CO suppression system temporarily puts this system in a manual

,.actuation. moke.

Reliance on the fire detection system, in conjunction with the ability to ".

manually discharge the C02 suppression system'will provide adequate fire protection for periods when personnel are required to work in these areas.

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 as a backup means of fire suppression, a longer period of time is allowed to provide an alternate means of fire fighting than if the inoperable equipment is the primary means of fire suppression. Backup fire protection equipment will normally take the form of permanently mounted fire extinguishers and/or fire hose stations in or near the area, or- fire hoses routed to the affected area. In the event that the fire water tanks become inoperable, Lake Michigan may serve as their backup. However, it is not our intent to rely on backup systems or other compensatory measures for an extended period of time and action will be taken to restore the inoperable portions of the fire suppression system to OPERABLE status within a reasonable period.

The surveillance requirements provide assurance that the minimum OPERABILITY requirements of the fire suppression systems are met. An allowance is made for ensuring a sufficient volume of Halon and C02 in the storage tanks by verifying either the weight, level, or pressure of the tanks.

The fire suppression water system has five fire pumps common to both units which discharge into underground ring headers. There are two diesel-engine-driven, vertical-turbine fire pumps rated at 2000 gpm, each taking suction from Lake Michigan; one motor-driven horizontal centrifugal fire pump rated at 2500 gpm that takes suction from the fire water storage tanks; and two diesel-engine-driven horizontal centrifugal fire pumps rated at 2500 gpm COOK NUCLEAR PLANT>> 'UNIT 1 B 3/4 7-7 AMENDMENT NO. ~0

Requiring one of the 2000 gpm diesel-driven pumps that takes suction from Lake Michigan and one of the 2500 gpm diesel driven pumps that takes suction from a fire water storage tank to be OPERABLE ensures the capability of obtaining ~ater from both sources. This conservatism results in enhanced system reliability and reduced risk from external events.

Technical Specification 3.7.9.1 requires three fire water pumps to be OPERABLE for the fire suppression water system to be OPERABLE. One of these pumps must be a 2500 gpm diesel-driven pump capable of taking suction from either fire water storage tank and one a 2000 gpm fire suppression pump capable of taking suction from Lake Michigan. The third pump may take suction from either water source.

The flow paths capable of taking suction from Lake Michigan are normally isolated to preclude zebra mussel infestation of the system, The purpose of the charcoal filter fire suppression T/S is to account for ~

detection and suppression of fires in the charcoal filters. Manual operation of these systems is allowed because two-point heat detection with control room and local annunciation of trouble conditions is provided for,.

the charcoal filters. The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression system protecting the charcoal filters is only required when there is charcoal in the filters. Actuation of spray water onto the charcoal filters requires,.

both the manual opening of the system isolation valve and reaching the high temperature alarm setpoint for the automatic opening of the system deluge .,

valve.

Because of the inaccessibility of the lower containment to personnel during operation due to ALARA radiation exposure concerns, the use of one or more CCTVs in the lower containment, to monitor for fire and smoke, is an acceptable substitute to an hourly fire watch, system becomes inoperable.

if the fire suppression All hourly fire watch patrols are performed at intervals of sixty minutes with a margin of fifteen minutes.

A continuous fire watch requires that a trained individual be in the specified area at all times and that each fire zone within the specified area be patrolled at least once every fifteen minutes with a margin of five minutes.

A sectionalizing valve is defined as a valve that when closed does not prevent an alternate open flow path to a system and hence does not make the fire suppression water system inoperable.

Under certain situations, the closure of a sectionalizing valve followed by the closure of a second valve will not leave an open flow path to one of the specified systems. In this instance, Action Statement c of Specification 3.7.9.1 is applicable.

Manual actuation of CO fire suppression systems provides adequate fire protection for the protected areas based on OPERABLE fire detection in. the area, low combustible loadings, and prompt fire brigade response to alarms.

Many of the Action Statements take credit for OPERABLE fire detection in lieu of a fire watch when a fire protection system is inoperable. OPERABLE fire detection provides sufficient early warning capability of a fire to the appropriate Control Room.

During Surveillance Testing of a Low Pressure CO> System with the system inoperable, the requirement for a continuous fire watch may be suspended during portions of the test which result or may result in a discharge into the CO2 protected area. Similarly, if a CO> actuation occurs which results in the need to have the'ow Pressure C02 System made inoperable, the requirement for a continuous fire watch may be suspended. In either case, the area affected shall be .restored to habitability as soon as practicable, after which the continuous fire watch" is to be re-established if the system is still inoperable.

3 4 10 FIRE RATED ASSEMBLIES The OPERABILITY of the fire 'barriers and barrier penetrations ensure that; fire damage will be limited. These design features minimize the possibility of a single fire involving more than one fire area prior to detection and extinguishment. The fire barriers and fire barrier penetration sealing devices are periodically inspected to verify their OPERABILITY. The functional testing of the fire dampers is provided to ensure that the dampers remain functional. The ventilation seals area seals around ventilation duct work penetrating fire barriers. It is not our intent to rely on backup systems or other compensatory measures for an extended. period of time and action will be taken to restore the inoperable portions of the fire rated assembly to OPERABLE status within a reasonable period.

For the purpose of determining OPERABILITY, an OPERABLE fire rated assembly and/or sealing device is one that is capable of performing its intended safety function.

PLANT SYSTEMS ASES The service life of a snubber is evaluated via manufacturer's input and information through consideration of the snubber service conditions and associated installation and maintenance records. (newly installed snubber, seal replaced, spring replaced, in high radiation area, in high temperature area, etc...). The requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergo a performance evaluation in view of their age and operating conditions. These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service, life. The requirements for the maintenance of records and the snubber service life review are not intended to affect plant operation.

The number of snubbers to be functionally tested during each surveillance is based on calculations performed to allow extension of the surveillance interval from 18 months to 24 months, and therefore, the number of snubbers functionally tested deviates from the number required by the Westinghouse,

,, detection and suppression of: fires, in the charcoal filters. Manual operation of these systems is allowed because two-point heat detection with control room and local annunciation of trouble conditions is provided for the charcoal filters. The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression system protecting the charcoal filters is only required when there is charcoal in the filters. Actuation of spray water onto the charcoal filters requires both the manual opening of the system isolation valve and reaching the high temperature alarm setpoint for the automatic opening of the system deluge valve.

Because of the inaccessibility of the lower containment to personnel during operation due to ALARA radiation exposure concerns, the use of one or more CCTVs in the lower containment, to monitor for fire and smoke, is an acceptable substitute to a continuous system becomes inoperable.

,iAll hourly'fire watch patrols are performed at intervals of sixty minutes

-'with a margin of fifteen minutes.

A continuous fire watch requires that a trained individual be in the specified area at all times and that each'ire zone within the specified ",

area be patrolled at least once every fifteen minutes with a margin of five minutes.

A control valve is defined as a valve that when closed does not leave an alternate open flow, path to a system. A sectionalizing valve is defined as a valve that when closed does not prevent an alternate open flow path to a system and hence does not make the fire suppression water system inoperable.

Under certain situations, the closure of a sectionalizing valve followed by the closure of a second valve will not leave an open flow path to one of the specified systems. In this instance, Action Statement c of Specification 3.7.9.1 is applicable.

Manual actuation of CO fire suppression systems provides adequate fire protection for the prospected areas based on operable fire detection in the area, low combustible loadings, and prompt fire brigade response to alarms.

BASES 3 4.7 9 Continued Many of the Action Statements take credit for OPERABLE fire detection in lieu of a fire watch when a fire protection system is inoperable. OPERABLE fire detection provides sufficient early warning capability of a fire to the appropriate Control Room.

During Surveillance Testing of a Low Pressure C02 System with the system inoperable, the requirement for a continuous fire watch may be suspended during portions of the test which result or may result in a discharge. into the C02 protected area. Similarly, if a C02 actuation occurs which results in the need to have the Low Pressure C02 System made inoperable, the requirement 'for a continuous fire watch may be suspended. In either case, the area affected shall be restored to habitability as soon as practicable, after which the continuous fire watch is to be re-established is still if the system inoperable.

...The. OPERABILITY. of, the .fire barriers and barrier penetrations ensures that fire damage will be limited. These design features minimize the possibility of a single fire involving more than one fire area prior to detection .and extinguishment. The fire barriers and fire barrier penetration sealing devices are periodically inspected to verify their OPERABILITY. The functional testing of the fire dampers is provided to 'ensure that the dampers remain functional. The ventilation seals are seals around ventilation duct work penetrating fire barriers. It is not our intent to rely on backup systems or other compensatory measures for an extended period of time and ACTION will be taken to restore the inoperable portions of the fire rated assembly to OPERABLE status within a reasonable period.

For the purpose of determining OPERABILITY, an OPERABLE fire rated assembly/sealing device is one that is capable of performing its intended .

safety function.
