I.

Changes A.

Add a paragraph to basis section 3.22.2 reading:

B.

"Those hose stations that are supplied by the service water system in the containment will be primarily used during normal refueling operations. II Add new items j and k to Section 3.22.4.1 to read:

II

  • J.

North stairway in containment 612' level "k.

E.

Revise Section 3.22.1.1 Action 1 to read:

"Except the detectors located inside containment, within one hour, esta.blish a fire watch patrol to inspect the zone with the inoperable instrument(s) at least once per hour."

F.

Revise Table 3.22.1 as shown in the attached revised pages.

G.

Add a new item g to Section 3.22.3.1 reading:

"g. - Intake Structure Room 136.and 136A" H.

Revise Section 4.17.1.1 and add new Section 4.17.1.2 as follows:

"4.17.1.1 ~Fire detection instruments located inside containment and associated alarms identified in Table 3.22.1 shall be demonstrated OPERABLE at.least once each refueling outage.

"4. 17. 1. 2 *-*Fire detection instruments located outside containment and associated alarms identified in Table 3.22.1 shall be demonstrated OPERABLE at least once semiannually."

NOTE:

Revised Technical Specifications pages are attached.

II.

Discussion 2

Amendment 42 to License DPR-20, issued September 1, 1978, requires certain modifications at Palisades for purposes of fire protection.

The required modifications include new hose stations in the containment building, additional fire detectors, and additional fire suppression sprinklers.

This change adds this additional fire protection equipment to the existing Technical Specifications operability and surveillance requirements for similar equipment.

III.

Conclusion Based on the foregoing, both the Palisades Plant Review Committee and the Safety and Audit Review Board have reviewed these changes and find them acceptable.

3.22.2 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM Basis The operability of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fir~

suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in any portion of *the facility where safety-related equipment is located.

The fire suppression* system consists of the water system, sprinklers, and fire hose stations..

The collective capability of the fire suppression system is adequate to minimize potential damage to safety~related equipment and is a major element.in the facility fire protection program.

. ]n the event.that portions of the* fire suppression systems ate inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the inoperable equipment is restored to service.

In the event the fire suppression water system becomes inoperable, immediate corrective measures must be taken since.this system provides the inajor 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 c.ontinued protection of the. nuclear plant.

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.

Those hose stations.that are supplied by the service water system in the containment will be primarily used during normal refueling operations.

3.22 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM 3.22.1 FIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.22.1.1 The fire detection instrumentation for each fire detection zone shown in Table 3.22.1 shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY:

At all times when equipment in that fire detection zone is required to be OPERABLE.

ACTION:

With the nuber of instruments OPERABLE less than required by Table*3.22.1;

1.

Except the detectors located inside containment, within one hour, establish a firi watch patrol to inspect the zone with the inoperable instrument(s) at least on~e per hour.

2.

Restore the inoperable instrument(s) to OPERABLE status within 14 days, or

3.

In lieu of any other report required by Specification 6.9.2, prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission with 30 days outlining the a~tion taken, the caus~ of the inoperability and the plans fo~ restoring the instrument(s) to OPERABLE status, and

4.

In the event this Limiting Condition tor Operation and/or associated Action requirements cannot be satisfied, provisions relating to operating restrictions on the plant are not applicable.

BASIS:

OPERABILITY of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires.

This capability is reqtiired in order to detect and 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 e.stablishme'nt of frequent fire patrols in the affected areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is returned to service.
