4.0 ANALYSIS 4.1 General General Guidelines for Plant Protection are discussed in the List of Reference 2.6, Page 27 Changes and Response to Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9:5-1 and Regulatory Guide 1. 78 and 1.101, Subsection D.1.j. The regulatory position states that concerning compartmentation " ... Floors, walls and ceilings enclosing separate fire areas should have minimum fire rating of three hours." It then goes on to state that " ... The fire hazard in each area should be evaluated to determine barrier requirements." Also, ... "If barrier fire resistance cannot be made adequate, fire detection and suppression should be provided ... " Based upon the above statements, it is apparent that the analysis of a specific barrier for acceptability should subsequently follow this order .of importance:

a. The capability of the barrier must satisfy the minimum fire rating guideline of 3-hours. If not then; /
  • b. The barrier must be adequate to withstand the actual combustible loading in the fire areas separated by the barrier. If not then;
c. The actual configuration must be reviewed in order to take credit for other systems or circumstances that may increase ~he acceptability of the barrier (e.g. suppression, *detection, etc ... ).

This analysis is based upon the above three criteria. It shall be used to demonstrate the capability of the fire barrier and its supporting systems to adequately prevent the spread of fire through the pipe tunnel separating the Feedwater Purity Building and the Turbine Building (EL. 590'-0"). Additional regulatory guidance is provided in NUREG 0800, Section 9.5.1, Reference 2.9 sub-section C.7.h, "Turbine Building," which states, in part: The turbine building should be separated from adjacent structures containing safety-related equipment by a fire barrier with a minimum rating of 3 hours.... Openings and penetrations in the fire barrier should be minimized and should not .be located where the turbine lube oil or generator hydrogen cooling system creates a direct fire exposure hazard to the barrier. Considering the severity of the fire hazards, defense in depth may dictate additional protection to ensure barrier integrity. In summary, the regulatory goal of the Turbine Lube Oil Room walls is to prevent. a direct exposure fire hazard to either safety related equipment or openings and penetrations in fire barriers containing safety related equipment.

4.2 Description of the Fire Barrier The West wall of the Turbine Lube Oil Room is corrugated sheet metal directly connected to building support steel. The remaining walls are concrete block walls. The ceiling is approximately 8" thick reinforced concrete, based on field measurement, and the floor is reinforced concrete resting on the grade elevation. The two doors in the south wall are three-hour rated doors. There are two openings in the ceiling for equipment access. These openings are protected by concrete plugs the same thickness as the ceiling with metal framing. The room is curbed to contain potential oil spills or a single tank rupture within the room. The Turbine Lube Oil Room is a free standing room within the main Turbine Building. Figure #1 shows a plan view of the area. This room does not provide structural support for the Turbine Building. However, the lower portion of two columns supporting the Turbine Building are located within the Turbine Lube Oil Room walls near the west end. Also, the concrete slab ceiling of the room is supported by structural steel beams. Neither the Turbine Building structural steel nor the ceiling beams are protected with fireproofing

  • materials. The size of the columns and beams and connecting steel outside the room, provide a large heat sink, and in conjunction with the automatic sprinkler system ensure these components will not fail prior to the arrival of additional fire fighting, equipment to further suppress a fire in this area. The
     . Palisades Fire Brigade is specifically trained to fight liquid petroleum fires as part of their hands on training.

590' Elev. Front View Facing East Side View Facing North The F eedwater Purity Tunnel connects the separate Feedwater Purity Reference 2. I Building to the Turbine Building and is over 150 ft. long. A portion of this tunnel runs adjacent to the lower portion of the Turbine Lube Oil Room west wait' The tunnel is constructed of structural steel with a corrugated sheet metal wall and ceiling contajning fiberglass insulation between the inner and outer sheet metal walls. The structure has no listed fire resistance rating. The Turbine Building wall adjacent to the Feedwater Purity Tunnel is sheet metal supported on structural steel, similar to the Turbine Lube Oil west wall. There are numerous openings in the east wall of the Feedwater Purity Tunnel adjacent to the Turbine Building and the south end of the tunnel opens directly into the Turbine Building.

PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT EA- FPP-95-054 ANALYSIS CONTINUATION SHEET Sheet -2._ Rev # _o__ onunen 4.3 Description of Combustible Loading

a. Feedwater Purity Pipe Tunnel The pipe tunnel contains two condensate pipes, a fuel oil transfer pipe (welded fittings near Turbine Lube Oil Room), four lightly loaded cable trays, and other minor electrical and mechanical items.

The electrical cables in the cable trays enter conduits approximately 20 ft. from the south end of the tunnel opening into the 590' elevation of the Turbine Building. There are no significant combustible materials that traverse the openings from the Feedwater Purity Tunnel into the Turbine Building. The Feedwater Purity Tunnel contains no safety related equipment or circuits and Reference 2.11 has minimal combustible loading, so it is not classified as a separate fire area.

b. Turbine Building (General Area@EL. 590'-0") North & West Side Combustible loading in the Turbine Building general area at EL.

Reference 2.4 590'-0" is approximately 15 minutes. This fire loading is spread over three elevations of the Turbine Building.

          . Equipment such as a heater drain cooler, feedwater heater, and air            Refererice 2 .1 ejector are located near the east and south openings to the pipe tunnel. Any cable in this area is enclosed in conduit. Based on plant walkdowns, there are no significant combustibles within a radius of20 ft. from the yarious openings of the Feedwater Purity Tunnel into the 590' elevation of the Turbine Building. Waste oil tanks (T-130 and M-18) are located to the west of the Feedwater Purity Tunnel south opening. These tanks are positioned ju~t outside of the 20 ft. distance from the Feedwater Purity Tunnel, and are protected by a wet pipe sprinkler system with a spray density Reference 2.14 greater than 0. 3 0 gpm/ft2 .

The next level above the 590'-0" elevation, in this area of the Turbine Building, is the 607'-6" elevation. This floor level is metal grating, which is not a confining space for smoke or heat. Therefore, any

          . smoke or heat generated from combustibles on the 590' elevation would rise, not affecting the pipe tunnel, its contents, or the Feedwater Purity Building. This area is also connected to the turbine operating floor above by open stairwells and various large openings with metal
  • open grating co~erings th~t provide an even larger vent area for any smoke and hot gases and minimize heat buildup on the 590' elevation.

Transient combustibles are administratively controlled in all plant areas by plant procedure. Transients brought into this area of the Turbine

Building for maintenance and operating activities, would be expected to be minimal based upon the type of equipment located in the area.

c. Turbine Lube Oil Room The fire loading in the Turbine Lube Oil Room (Fire Area 22), Reference 2.3 results in an Equivalent Fire Severity of "greater than 9 hours" and therefore has a VERY IDGH Fire Loading Classification. A significant fire in this area would be ventilation limited and could not achieve the temperatures normally projected for an open combustible* liquid pool fire.

The only significant openings to allow combustion air into the room are through the west wall to the Feedwater Purity Tunnel. These openings are estimated to provide less than 32 ft:2 of vent area as shown in Attachment 'A', The ventilation openings into the room are protected by fire' dampers which, due to their location near the ceiling, close early in the event and are not considered in this analysis. The vent area calculation has added sefety factors to compensate for additional air provided by the ventilation openings early in the event, before the dampers close. In order to provide a quantitative assessment of the concern in this area, to supplement but not replace the qualitative evaluation, a fire model assessment was made. The fire model chosen was FPETOOL as it is a generally accepted industry standard that is available as public domain software. The lack of software quality assurance on the use of FPETOOL requires that any results provided will be for information only and these results are not intended to be used as an exact prediction of the temperatures associ~ted with an actual fire in this area. A parametric evaluation, using FPETOOL, of the average upper Reference 2.10 level smoke temperature for the Turbine Lube Oil Room using the 32 ft 2 vent opening is presented in Attachment 'B'. The results show that the fire would be ventilation limited in 2 to 8 minutes (120 to 500 seconds), depending on the fire growth rate, with an upper level temperature of 800° F after 20 minutes. The maximum fire size is limited to 2.93 MW for the 32 ft 2 vent opening. The standard fire growth data for "moderate", "fast" and "ufast" that were supplied with FPETOOL were used. The "fast" and "ufast"

  • fire data are for a 10 minute period while the "moderate" data extended to 20 minutes.

(@ consumers Power flflWU11111i MJIUllU#'S PfllllillBS PAL I SADES NUCLEAR PLANT . ANALYSIS CONTINUATION SHEET EA- FPP-95-054 Sheet _ L Rev # _...o_ _ Ke~erencet~ommen~ The 800° F Jemperature is below the allowable structural steel

  • average temperature limits for steel columns and beams of 1000° F Reference 2.2, Page 6-76 and 1100° F, respectively. This fire model indicates adequate time is available for manual fire fighting activities to begin and provide additional cooling water on the affected structural steel. Additional runs of the model using either a 50% larger vent area or a 50%

lower concrete heat sink still yielded results below the average allowable structural steel temperature for columns and beams after a 20 minute fire duration. No credit is taken for the full area automatic suppression system actuation in arriving at these temperature values. Realistically, the sprinklers would greatly limit the temperature rise during any postulated fire. If the sheet metal west wall were to fail due to warpage or due to support failure from metal expansion at the high temperatures the fire size could increase due to the increased ventilation area. A conservative maximum ~ize would be for the entire wall to open up. This opening of 21 feet by 24 feet (504 ft 2) was evaluated utilizing the "moderate" fire data as this data extends to a 20 minute period. The upper layer smoke and hot gas temperature based on a "moderate" fire

       *was calculated to be 664° Fat the end of20 minutes. The increased opening allows for more venting of hot gases and reduces the overall temperature compared to t!ie 32 ft2 vent opening. Ventilation opening sizes between the 32 ft 2 and 504 ft 2 extremes may create higher*

temperatures due to maximizing combustion air while minimizing smoke and hot gas venting, but the automatic suppression system will limit realistic fire temperatures below those predicted above. A separate FPETOOL model was run to predict the amount of time before the automatic sprinklers would actuate and begin cooling the area. The standard "fast" and "moderate" fire sizes provided with the FPETOOL program were utilized for the evaluation. The evaluation of the "fast" and "moderate" fires estimated sprinkler actuation times of

  • just under 3 minutes *and up to 5 minutes, respectively. Additionally, a steady 3 MW and 30 MW fire size were evaluated with sprinkler.*

actuation times of 29 seconds and 8 seconds, respectively. The details are presented in Attachment 'C'. Clearly, the larger the fire the faster the sprinklers would actuate. The less intense fires would delay

  • sprinkler actuation, but this would be compensated for by the reduced peak temperatures that could damage the non-fire rated west wail.

d. Feedwater Purity Building The Feedwater Purity Building is over 150 ft. from the Turbine Reference 2.1 Lube Oil Room west wall and the Turbine Building. Some electrical cables in cable tray traverse the distance separating these buildings inside the Feedwater Purity Pipe Tunnel. The Boiler Room in the Feedwater Purity Building is protected by a sprinkler system. The Feedwater Purity Building and connecting tunnel do Reference 2.11 not contain safety related equipment. No combustible loading calculation was performed for this building due to the large separation from the Turbine Building or any safety related structures or components.

4.4 Description of Suppression and Detection .

a. Suppression The Turbine Lube Oil Room is equipped with full area automatic wet pipe suppression system. Sprinkler hydraulic analysis shows Reference 2.13 the spray density is greater than '0.55 gpm/3,000 sq. ft. which exceeds the 0.30 gpm/3,000 sq. ft. design specified for Extra Ref. 2.15, Fig. 1.24 Hazard (Group 1) protection. The extra water spray will minimize the peak room temperatures well below those predicted above in
            . Section 4.3.c.

Manual suppression is provided by a hose station located less than 20 ft. away from the Turbine Building entrance to the pipe tunnel at the 590'-0" elevation. Various other hose stations are located throughout the Turbine Building on this and other elevations to provide backup fire fighting capability. Fire fighting foam equipment is located just outside the Turbine Lube Oil Room on the 590'-0" elevation. The Turbine Building has partial area automatic wet pipe suppression systems located in areas around the Turbine Lube Oil Room. These systems provide protection for areas with cable trays, lube oil, hydraulic oil reservoirs and office areas on both the 590'-0" elevation and the 607'-6" elevation. The Turbine Building areas to the north, south and east of the Turbine Lube Oil Room are protected by these sprinkler systems. Portions of these systems are located between the Turbine

  • Lube Oil Room and the Component Cooling Water (CCW) Pump Room wall located east of the Turbine Lube Oil Room. The CCW Pump Room wall, which contains non-fire rated openings, provides separation of safety related equipment from the Turbine Building.

AUDIJIU#'S llmNilral PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT ANALYSIS CONTINUATION.SHEET EA- FPP-95-054 Sheet -11..._ Rev # _o_ _

b. Detection There is no automatic detection located in the general Turbine Building area near the access door to the pipe gallery (EL. 590'-0"). However, the automatic sprinkler systems in both the Turbine Lube Oil Room and the Turbine Building are equipped with flow alarms. These alarms will provide notification to the continuously manned plant Control Room.
c. Fire Brigade/Equipment The plant fire brigade training program includes actual involvement with fighting flammable liquid fires during the live fire training. The 590'-0" elevation of the Turbine Building contains one of the fire brigade depot areas for equipment storage providing ready access to equipment for a fire in this area. Equipment such as self-contained vent fans capable of delivering 16,000 CFM are also located outside the Turbine Lube Oil Room. As mentioned above, the area also contains fire fighting foam equipment for a potential lube oil fire.

4.5 Overview of Fire Barrier Concerns The primary concern for this area is the spread of a fire from the Turbine Lube Oil Room into the Turbine Building that may ultimately affect either safety relat~d equipment in the Turbine Building or openings in walls separating the Turbine Building from safety related plant areas such as the CCW Pump Room. There is minimal concern for the spread of fire from the Turbine Building back into the Turbine Lube Oil Room due to the low combustible loading on the Turbine Building side. From the descriptions provided above there are several defense-in-depth barriers to prevent the spread of fire from the Turbine Lube Oil Room back into the Turbine Building. These can be summarized as follows:

  • The Turbine Lube Oil Room has full area automatic suppression estimated to actuate within 3 to 5 minutes and is hydraulically analyzed to exceed the design standards. In addition, curbing is provided to contain potential oil spills within the room.
  • The non-fire rated west wall is exposed to the exterior for the upper 5 to 6 ft. and if wall failure did occur due to a fire, then this area would be expected to fail first venting the smoke and hot gases outside the Turbine Building area.

The size of the realistic fire in the Turbine Lube Oil Room is not projected to reach temperatures that may fail the west wall prior to sprinkler system actuation.

(@ . consumers Power l'flWUllNll PALISADES NUCLEAR PLANT ANALYSIS CONTINUATION SHEET EA- FPP-95-054 Sheet -1L Rev # __..o_ _ AUUllUln Pm1&ras Ke*erencetcomrnenc

  • Any smoke and hot gases vented into the Feedwater Purity Tunnel and Turbine Building would ultimately disperse over the entire Turbine Building area and minimize heat stress on nearby equipment. The areas within 20 ft. of the Feedwater Purity Tunnel opening on the 590' elevation into the Turbine Building are virtually devoid of combustible material and contain no safety related equipment.
  • The plant fire brigade is available to respond to any plant fire and is specifically trained to fight oil fueled fires and has equipment available to extinguish such fires.

The remaining concern is for direct fire exposu~e to openings in walls separating safety related equipment from the Turbine Building. The west wall of the CCW Pump Room contains various openings into the Turbine Building and these are described in a separate evaluation. However, the additional defense-in-depth features, from those described above, that protect these openings are a follows:

  • The areas within 20 ft. of these openings on the Turbine Building side are
   '  . almost devoid of combustible materials. Floor drains are located throughout the Turbine Building to prevent the spread of liquid pool fires to the area adjacent to these openings on the 590' elevation.
  • Automatic wet pipe suppression systems are located in the Turbine Building such that a fire on the west side of the Turbine Building (near the Turbine Lube Oil area) would* have to cross these protected areas before exposure of the openings could occur.

Additionally, the original Appendix R post-fire safe shutdown evaluation and the current revision to this analysis do not consider the Turbine Building and the Turbine Lube Oil Room as requiring separate fire areas, because no. safe Reference 2.11 shutdown components are located in the Turbine Lube Oil Room. Should a fire spread from the Turbine Lube Oil Room to the Turbine Building, it would result in the same consequences as a Turbine Building fire alone. The Turbine Building and the CCW Pump Room are evaluated as separate fire areas in the Appendix R analysis. However, since the west wall of the Turbine Lube Oil Room is facing opposite and over 100' away from the unrated openings in the CCW Pump Room wall, no direct fire exposure hazard is considered credible .

5.0 CONCLUSION

The regulatory goal of the Turbine Lube Oil Room walls is to prevent a direct exposure fire hazard to either safety related equipment or openings and penetrations in fire barriers containing safety related equipment. The plant configuration described above provides adequate defense-in-depth such that the system as a whole prevents a direct fire exposure hazard to safety related equipment or openings in other fire area barriers required to meet NRC guidelines. 6.0 ATTACHMENTS Attachment A - Estimation of Vent Area for Turbine Lube Oil Room West Wall and Surface Area of Interior Walls Attachment B FPETOOL Summary of Upper Level Temperatures for the Turbine Lube Oil Room Attachment C FPETOOL Summary of Sprinkler Actuation Time for a Fast and Moderate Fire in the Turbine Lube Oil Room

  • Vent Area Calculation The upper portion of the sheet metal wall is located 7. 5" horizontally away from the pipe tunnel ceiling I-beam and 7" below the lower flange of the I-beam. i::he air flow through this opening will be across the diagonal area calculated as follows:

Diagonal= ..f((7.5")2 + (7") 2) = ..f(56.25 + 49) = ..f105.25 = 10.26 or conservatively 10.5" The diagonal opening along the majority of the west wall progresses for 20'-4" (24' minus 3'-8"). The area of this portion of the opening is calculated as A1 below: A 1 = (10.5"/12) ft. X (20' + 4"/12) ft. = 0.875 ft. X 20.34 ft. = 17.80 ft2 The semi-circular cutout for a pipe is conservatively assumed to be completely open without a pipe and the area is calculated as A2 below: A2 = 1/2 X ((7t(6/12)2)/4) = 1/2 X (3.14 X 0.25)/4) = 0.098 ft2 The rectangle cutout for a pipe is conservatively assumed to be completely open without a pipe* and the area is calculated as A3 below:

  • A3 = (22"/12) ft. x (20"112) ft. = I.83 ft. x t.67 ft. = 3.06 ft 2 The right most diagonal opening is located 7.5" horizontally away from the pipe tunnel I-beam and 22" below the lower flange of the I-beam. The air flow through this opening will be across the diagonal area calculated as follows:
  • 2nd Diagonal= ..f((7.5")2 + (22") 2) = {(56.25 + 484) = ..f540.25 = 23.25" The rectangle cutout for the remaining 3'-8" of the west wall is calculated as A.. below:

A..= (23.25"/12) ft. x (3' + 8"/12) ft. = 1.94 ft. x 3.67 ft. = 7.12 ft2 The area of the three pipe penetrations, which are essentially filled with the pipes, are conservatively assumed to be completely open and the area is calculated as As below: As= ((1t(6"/12) 2)/4) + ((1t(7"/12) 2)/4) + ((7t(5"/12)2)/4) = 0.196 + 0.267 + 0.136 =

             = 0.60 ft 2 The conservative total vent area is the sum of A1 through      As as follows:

Total Area~ 17.80 + 0.098 + 3.06 + 7.12 + 0.60 = 28.68 ft 2

  • To further compensate for field measurement errors a 10% safety factor will be added to the Total Area to conservatively estimate the amount of air available to support combustion as follows:

Total Area= 28.68 X 1.10 = 31.55; the area to be used in FPETOOL will be 32 ff

EA-FPP-95-054 Page 4of4 Turbine Lube Oil Room Surface Area oflnterior Walls The FPETOOL calculation of average upper level temperature includes an evaluation of the heat sink provided by the surrounding enclosure materials. The Turbine Lube Oil Room is constructed of 8" concrete block on three sides, a reinforced concrete ceiling that is also 8" thick and a reinforced concrete floor that is greater than 8" thick. Conservatively; the 8" thickness will be used for all the enclosure concrete surfaces. The room is approximately 21 ft. high, but due to obstructions to air flow caused by the steel beams supporting the ceiling a conservative value of 20 ft. is used for the wall height. The lower number will provide both a higher temperature for a given fire size and a lower heat sink value than is realistically available. Based on the floor area of 24 ft. by 80 ft: the interior wall surface area is calculated as follows: Floor/Ceiling= 80' Long X 24' Wide X 2 surfaces= 3,840 ft. 2 N & S Walls = 80' Long X 20' High X 2 surfaces= 3,200 ft. 2 East Wall . = 20' High X 24' Long X 1 surface == 480 ft. 2 Total Surface Area = 7,520 ft. 2 Conservatively, the structural steel is not included in the heat sink values used for calculating the upper level smoke temperature in the room ..

                 *in the Turbine Lube Oil Room
  • Sprinkler Actuation Time EA-FPP-95-054 Sheet 2 of6 FPETOOL was used to determine the response time for sprinkler actuation in the Turbine 'Lube Oil Room. Values for spririkler parameters and fire size were determined and plugged into the FPETOOL module for heat detector/sprinkler actuation times.

First, sprinkler parameters were defined for the room. The maximum ceiling height of 21 feet was chosen even though the actual location is approximately 20 feet from the floor as this will delay sprinkler response and give a conservative value. The sprinkler spacing in the Turbine Lube Oil Room was evaluated based on a plant walkdown and the maximum distance between sprinkler heads was determined to be 11 '-6". Based on this separation a fire could not be located radially more than 6' (conservatively) from any sprinkler head. The room temperature at the ceiling was set at 90° F, even though it is routinely higher than this value. The lower temperature was chosen to provide "a conservative value. The sprinkler heads are rated at 165° F and according to the "Automatic Sprinkler Systems Handbook", Sixth Edition, page 28, the Response Time Index (RTI) for standard response sprinklers is between 150 ft 112 s112 to 200 ft 112 s112 . The worst case RTI

         *value of 200 ft 112 s112 was chosen to bound the installed sprinkler parameters as the higher the RTI value the slower the response of the sprinkler actuation.                                 r Second, the fire size was specified to get a parametric look at the possible conditions in the Turbine Lube Oil Room before sprinkler actuation. The standard "Fast" and "Moderate" fire sizes were run as they are representative of realistic fires used in general fire modeling. Then a steady state 3 MW and 30 Mw fire were run to determine response from a combustible liquid pooi fire that tends to reach and maintain a given heat rate in a short period of time. The 3 MW fire size represents the ventilation limited fire size predicted by an earlier FPETOOL calculation. The 30 MW fire size was chosen to see what effect a considerably larger fire might have on the suppression system actuation time.

The results are shown in the attached FPETOOL printouts and are summarized as follows: Fire Size Sprinkler Response Time (Seconds) Fast Fire 174 (<3 Minutes) Moderate Fire 298 / (~5 Minutes) 3 MWFire 29 30 MWFire 8
