ENCLOSURE EMER RE(UEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION JECT TURKEY POINT PLANT NITS 3 4
We have reviewed your June 23, 1988 submittal (ref.
Emergency Power System Enhancement Report, Section 5.3 Fire Protection System.
As a result of our review, we conclude that your submittal does not provide sufficient information to demonstrate that the emergency power system enhancement modifications wi 11 comply with 10 CFR 50, Appendix R.
Therefore, in order to complete our review, ensure that safe shutdown capability is maintained, and verify that an adequate level of fire protection, consistent with NRC Fire Protection guidance, is being provided, we are requesting the following additional information:
1.
Provide your re-review of Appendix R compliance as a result of the implementation of this Power System Enhancement Upgrade Program.
This re-review should describe the impact that this modification had on the Appendix R safe shutdown analysis and demonstrate for each fire area/zone how Appendix R,Section III.G and III.L compliance will be achieved.
In addition, this re-review should identify additional Appendix R fire protection features which may be required for cable/equipment protection, describe changes or modifications to existing alternative shutdown systems (i.e., addition of transfer switches) and summarize the changes required to safe shutdown procedures (i.e., fire in the cable spreading or control room).
2.
Section 5.3, Fire Protection System, of the subject submittal, addressed the proposed fire protection features for the diesel generator building.
In that section it was identified that the diesel generator building will be protected by a pre-action sprinkler system.
However, the submittal did not provide an adequate description of the system design.
Additional information is requested which describes the extent of system coverage in the building (i.e., is the system going to protect the entire building or just the diesel generator rooms); sprinkler distribution/water application density; how the system is going to be automatically actuated (i.e., dedicated detection actuation system or from the general fire/smoke detection system),
alarmed and annunicated upon actuation; and when in standby how system integrity is going to be supervised.
3.
Section 5.3 of the subject submittal does not provide any information regarding manual hose station and standpipe provisions inside the diesel generator building.
NRC SRP 9.5.1, "Guidelines for Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants," Section C.l.c, indicates that total reliance should not be placed on a single fire suppression system and that appropriate backup fire suppression capability should be provided.
Interior hose stations along with the appropriate distribution of fire extinguishers is considered acceptable as backup fire suppression.
Therefore, in order to verify that an adequate level of backup fire protection is being provided, additional information, which describes the backup fire suppression capability for the new diesel generator structure, is requested.

4.
The subject submittal does not address the fire protection features being provided for the diesel generator building switchgear rooms or the additional electrical equipment (i.e., spare battery bank, battery chargers and inverters, HCCs etc.) being installed in the auxiliary building as a part of the upgrade modifications.
Additional informa-tion, which describes the existing/proposed fire protection features for these areas (i.e., fire detection capability, fire suppression capabilities, fire barrier, etc.) is requested in order to verify that the existing/proposed level of fire protection is consistent with NRC guidelines.
