May 12, 1986 Docket No. 50-400 Mr. E.

Dear Mr. Utley:

DISTRIBUTION Doc et Fi ea NRC PDR Local PDR PAD¹2 Rdg T. 'Novak OELD E. Jordan B. Grimes J. Partlow B. Buckley D. Miller ACRS (10)

Tech Branch Gray File

Subject:

Fire Protection Supplemental Safety Evaluation Report - Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit I Staff fire protection guidelines of Section C. l.e(1) of BTP CMEB 9.5-1 state that the fire protection program for buildings storing new reactor fuel and for adjacent fire areas that could affect the fuel storage area should be fully operational before fuel is received at the site.

By letter dated October 14, 1983, Carolina Power and Light Company committed to meet this guideline.

By letter dated April 16, 1986, you informed the staff that this commitment will not be met because electrical cable penetrations in a 3-hour fire rated barrier for this area will not be sealed before fuel is received at the site.

However, you proposed to establish a continuous fire watch as a compensatory measure until the penetrations are sealed.

You also indicated that the penetrations will be sealed by July I, 1986; we require that this schedule be met.

Based on,our enclosed evaluation, the staff has concluded that establishment of a continuous fire watch until the electrical penetrations are sealed provides an adequate level of fire safety and is, therefore, acceptable.

Sincerely,

/s/
