3.4 Definitions

The terms that must be familiar to the user in order to fully implement this procedure are as follows:

3.4.1 Class "A" Fires Class "A" fires are ordinary combustible fires in such materials as wood, paper, cloth, or rubber.

3.4.2 Class "B" Fires Class "B" fires are fires in flammable liquids, gases, and greases.

3.4.3 Class "C" Fires Class "C" fires are fires which involve "energized" electrical equipment. (Where electrical equipment is de-energized, extinguishers for Class "A" or "B" fires may be used).

3.4.4 Class "D" Fires Class "D" fires are fires in combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, zirconium, sodium and potassium.

4.0 Precautions

4. 1 Water in the vicinity of high voltage electrical equipment may constitute a life hazard to personnel due to the electrical conductivity of water.

Water hoses should be operated with a fog pattern only and at a distance of 10 feet or more from any energized electrical equipment.

4.2 Portable multipurpose dry chemical extinguishers may be used on the following class fires:

1. Class "A"

2. Class "8"

3. Class "C" 4.3 Portable carbon dioxide fire extinguishers may be used on the following class fires:

1. Class "B"

2. Class "C"

3/13/81 E AGENCY PROCEDURE 20107, PAGE 3 FIRE/EXPLOSION EMERGENCIES 4.4 AFFF foam shall be used only on Class "8" fires, where energized electrical equipment is not present.

4 5 The installed Halon 1301 gas system in Document Control is safe as installed. However, the discharge of Halon 1301 may create hazards to personnel such as dizziness, impaired coordination, reduced visibility and exposure to toxic decomposition products. For this reason personnel should leave the area immediately. Self-contained breathing apparatus is required to re-enter the area until the building is ventilated.

5.0 Res onsibilities:

5. 1 It shall be the responsibility of the Fire Team Leader (normally the Nuclear Match Engineer) to:

5. 1. 1 At the beginning of the shift verify the on-site availability of four qualified Fire Team Members in addition to himself. Normally, the four members will be the Nuclear Operator, the Nuclear Turbine Operator, a Radiation Protection Man, and a Lab Technician.

5. 1.2 Direct all phases of the fire fighting activities.

5. 1.3 Communicate the status of the fire and fire fighting activity to the Emergency Coordinator.

5. 1.4 Coordinate the activities of any outside fire fighting organization called in to .assist with the emergency.

5.2 It shall be the responsibility of each Fire Team member to be thoroughly familiar with the contents of this procedure and the location of fire fighting equipment in the plant.

5.3 The Plant Manager-Nuclear shall designate in writing an individual(s) to verify through regular inspections that all fire fighting equipment and supplies are in good condition and operable.

5.4 For 'a fire, it shall be the responsibility of the Nuclear Plant Supervisor or designee to complete the attached fire drill evaluation sheet.

5.5 For a fire drill, the person conducting the drill (normally'rom the Training Department) is responsible for completing the fire drill evaluation sheet.

5.6 The Nuclear Plant Supervisor/Emergency Coordinator is responsible for classifying fires and explosions as unusual events, alerts, or site area emergencies in accordance with Emergency Procedure 20103, Classification of Emergencies.
