FIRE PROTECTION J *
. The local fire department voted.on* November 5, 1980 to not respond to onsite fires.
The PNO that was issued.by OIE on this event (PNO-I-80-161) stated that the reasons given by the fire company for this action were that training and identificatiqn. of-hazards had been inadequate. - NRR is issuing a letter cisking-PSE&G to" identify the impact of this event *on the Salem fire protection program and their etnergency planning effort.

f

Failure to keep fire door.shut
- 2)
Failure to train orsite fire brigade The second item resulted not from an inadequate number of trained personnel, but from PSE&G's designation of l)ntrained personnel as fire brigade members.

B.

- j feedwater piping.
We are* issuing a letter to PSE&G asking the111,.-to.'~~i(her:

MASONRY !~ALLS D.
E.
The licensee',s response to I&E Bulletin 80_-ll (Masonry Wall Design) dated July 2, 1980 stated that the masonry walls are! heavily reinforced in both directions and. are not used to support seismic category I piping.
On November 7, 1980, the licensee verbally notified the resident inspector (Leif Norrho l m) that there are some wa 11 s with no hori zonta 1 reinforcement and that safety-related control air piping is supported by masonry walls.
There are three walls in question:* one wall between the two units and one wall in each of the units which is a 001,mdary of the.control room.
The 1 icensee* has submitted an LER for Unit 1, but has *not yet notified the NRC that the situation i$ i_dentical* for Unit 2.
The staff is developing a request for information that wi 11 all ow us to assess the impact of this issue* on the Salem 2 licensing process.
EQUIPMENT QUALIFICATION As a result of a staff audit of the Salem 2 equipment qualification study, the staff has requested that Salem 2 re-evaluate the test reports that were used as the basis for the licensee's 'study.
The revised study is.
expected to be submitted December 5, 1980.
The staff pl a*ns to conduct another audit after receipt of the licensee's submittal.
EMERGENCY PLANkING
- 1) Site Plan The staff n6tified Salem.in September 1980 that the Salem site plan was acceptable pending satisfactory resolution of 14 deficiencies.
- PSE&G subsequently re so 1 ved five of these deficiencies.. Of the
- remaining deficiencies, most are expected to be resolved by early to
- mid-December 1980.
The staff is work'ing clos.ely with PSE&G in this area.
- 2). State and Local Plans Delaware held a 11table-top,u exercise on November 7, 1980.

areas.
Four of the eight A)reas i-;ere rated as unsatisfactory: reactor operations, reporting, securitY1 and IT)anagement controls~ NRR is working -
- t-Jith I&E.to develop a staff position on these results in the event that
