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

APPLICABILITY:

ACTION:

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

With the number of instruments OPERABLE less than required by Table 3.22.1.

1.

Except the detectors located inside containment, within one hour, establish a fire watch patrol to inspect the zone with the inoperable instrument(s) at least once 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 action taken, the cause of the inoperability and the plans for restoring the instrument(s) to OPERABLE status, and

4.

In*the event this Limiting Condition for 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 ensure that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires.

This capability is required tin 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 establishment of frequent fire patrols in the affected areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is returned to service.

Whenever equipment in the sprinkler protected area is required to be operable.

ACTION:

1.

With one or more of the above required sprinkler systems inoperable, establish a continuous fire watch with backup fire suppression equipment in the unprotected area(s) within one hour.

Restore the system(s) to operable status within 14 days, or, in lieu of any other report required by Specification 6.9.2, prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission within the next 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause of the inoperability and the plans and schedule for restoring the system to operable status.

2.

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

Basis Refer to Basis Section 3.22.2.

3-98 TS-SECTION 3.22-FIREPROTECTION

3.22 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM 3.22.5 FIRE RATED AND FIRE PROTECTION ASSEMBLIES LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION 3.22.5.1 All fire rated assemblies (walls, floors, ceilings, cable tray enclosed, cable wraps), fire protection assemblies (radiant heat shields) and sealing devices in fire rated assembly penetrations (fire doors, fire dampers, cable, piping, and ventilation duct penetration seals) which protect safety related fire areas or separate portions of redundant system important to safe shutdown within a fire area, shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY:

At all Times.

ACTION:

1.

With one or more of the above required fire rated assemblies or penetration sealing devices inoperable, a continuous fire watch shall be established on at least one side of the affected assembly within one hour, or verify the OPERABILITY of fire detectors on at least one side of the inoperable assembly and establish an hourly fire inspection.

2 With a fire protection assembly rendered inoperable, within on~ hour establish an hourly fire inspection in that area.

Basis The functional integrity of the fire rated assemblies, penetration sealing devices and fire protection assemblies ensures that fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreading to adjacent portions of the facility.

These design features minimize the possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several areas of the facility prior to detection and extinguishment.

The fire rated assemblies, fire protectin assemblies and penetration sealing devices are passive elements in the facility fire protection program and are subject to periodic inspections.

Fire rated assemblies, fire protection assemblies and penetration sealing devices which are not in as-designed condition, an evaluation shall be performed to show that the fire rating of the fire rated assembly, fire protection assembly or penetration sealing device has not been degraded.

b. At least once per 18 months by removing the hose for inspection and reracking and replacing all gaskets in the couplings as required.

c. At least once per 3 years by:

1)
