Technical Specification 3.7.9.3 requires a roving fire watch patrol in those areas where the low pressure carbon dioxide systems are isolated for personnel protection to permit entry for routine tours, maintenance, construction, or surveillance testing.
Contrary to the above,,on April 5, 1984, it was identified by a security officer that the carbon dioxide system was isolated with no firewatch as required by Technical Specification 3.7.9.3 for approximately two hours and forty minutes, The firewatch had failed to return the carbon dioxide isolation switch to the normal position, and a security officer had failed to verify that the switch was in the normal position.
In addition, on September 28, 1984, April 29,
- 1985, and October 30,
- 1985, carbon dioxide systems were isolated for personnel protection and no firewatches were provided as required by Technical Specification 3.7.9.3.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
