B3:14 BASES FOR FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS OPERABILITY of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires. This capability is required in order to detect arid locate fires in their early stages. Prompt detection of fires will reduce the potential for damage to safety related equipment and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.

In the event that a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, the establishment of frequent fire patrols in the affected areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is restored to OPERABILITY.

The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinquish fires occurring in any portion of the fac i i ty where safety rel ated equipment is located.

1 The fire suppression system consists of the water system, spray and/or sprinklers,, fire hose stations, and yard fire hydrants. The collective capability of the fire suppression systems is adequate to minimize potenti'al damage to safety related equipment and is a major element in the facility fire protection program.

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'o service.

In the event the fire suppression water system becomes inoperable, immediate correcti ve measures must be taken since this system provides the major fire suppression capability of the plant. The requirement for a twenty-four hour report to the Commission provides for prompt evaluation of the acceptability of the corrective measures to provide adequate fire suppression capability for the continued protection of the nuclear plant.

The functional integrity of the fire barrier penetrations ensures that fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreading to adjacent portions of the facility. This design feature minimizes the possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several areas of the facility prior to detection and extinguishment. The fire barrier penetrations are a passive element in the facility fire protection program and are subject to periodic inspections.

Fire barrier penetrations, including cable penetration barriers, fire doors and dampers are considered functional when the visually observed. condition is the same as the as-designed condition. For those fire barrier penetrations. that are not in the as-designed condi'tion, an evaluation shall be performed to show that the modification has not degraded the fire rating of the fire barrier penetration.

During periods of time when a barrier is not functional, the fire detectors on at least one side of the affected barrier must be verified OPERABLE and a hourly fire watch patrol established, until the barrier is restored to functional status.
