with those persons indicated in paragraph 1.
The inspector described
the areas inspected and discussed in detail the inspection findings listed
below.
Dissenting comments were not received from the licensee.
The
following new item was identified during this inspection.*
Violation Item (280, 281/88-07-01) - Use of Fire Protection Equipment for
Non-Fire Protection Activities, Paragraph 5.f.(2).
The licensee did identify some material as proprietary during this
inspection, but this material is not included in this inspection report.

Licensee Action on Previous Enforcement Matters
(Closed) Violation (280, 281/87-07-01), Improper Routing of Appendix R
Related Cables
Control and power cabling for all onsite emergency diesel generators were
located in Fire Area 2.
A fire in the Unit 2 cable vault and tunnel could
potentially disable Diesel Gen-erators No. 2 and Nos. 1 and 3.
Since the
2
Unit 1 charging pumps are powered by Diesel Generators No. 1 and No~ 3, a
fire in this area would result in- loss of the charging pumps for either
unit.
Surry power station* Deviation* Report SI-87-278 was prepared on
March 13, 1985 for this issue and a 10 CFR 50.73 Special Report, 87-010-00,
was submitted to the NRC on April 10, 1987.
The licensee indicated that
compensatory measures for the area included a fire watch to inspect the
area at least once each shift.
Corrective actions are to relocate the
Diesel Generator No. 3 cables out of Fire Area 2.
Design Change No. 87-14-3, Emergency Diesel Generator No. 3*cable reroute
was issued April 30, 1987 to correct this discrepancy.
The design change
implementation was completed on May 29, 1987.
During this inspection, the
inspector did a walkdown and verified that the cable routing had been
completed in accordance with the requirements of Design Change
No. 87-14-3. This item is closed.
(Open) Unresolved Item (87-07-02), Correct Deficiencies in Fire
Contingency Action (FCA) Procedures and Conduct a Detailed Review of All
FCA Procedures.
During this inspection, the inspector reviewed some of the
corrections in the FCA procedures but was not able to verify that all the
corrective actions had been implemented.
This Unresolved Item remains
. open ..
(Open) Unresolved Item (87-07-03), Provide Practical Shift Crew Training
on Fire Contingency Actions (FCA) Procedures. Training will be completed
for all shifts by March 11, 1988.

d.
Fire Protection Audit
The most recent audit reports of the fire protection program were
reviewed these audits were:
Triennial Fire Protection Audit performed by TERA Corporation,
November 17-20, 1986
Annua 1 Audit RIS-10-2, of October 20-22 and November 17, 1987
These audits identified several fire protection program discrepancies
and recommended severa 1 program improvements. * The 1 i censee has
either imple~ented the corrective actions associated with these audit
findings or a scheduled date for cbmpletion of the corrective actions
has been established.
The licensee appears to be taking the
appropriate corrective actions on these audit findings.
e.
Fire Brigade
(1)
Organization
The total station fi.re brigade.is composed of approximately 70
personnel from the operations and security staff~
The on duty
shift fire brigade leader is normally one of the operators.
The
inspector reviewed the on duty shifts for February 1988 and*
verified that sufficient*qualified fire brigade personnel were
on duty to meet the provisions of the plant's Technical
Specifi ca ti on.
In addition, the inspector verified that sufficient personnel
were assigned to each shift to meet the minimum operating and
fire brigade staff requirements of the Technical Specifications.
Therefore, it appears based on the review of the duty rosters
. associated with the above . dates, that there was sufficient
manpower on duty to meet both the operati ona 1 and the fire
brigade requirements of the plant's Technical Specifications*.
(2) Training
The inspector reviewed the training and drill records for nine
brigade leaders and seven brigade members for 1986 and 1987.
The *records reviewed indicated that each of these leaders and
members had received an annual medical review, attended the
required training and participated in the required number of
drills.
The inspector also verified that a fire brigade drill
had been conducted every 92 days for each shift for 1986 and
1987.
The fire brigade tr.aining records which were inspected
were found satisfactory.

(3)
Fire Brigade Firefighting Strategies
The inspector reviewed plant and firefighting strategies for
the Auxiliary and Containment Building.
Firefighting strategies
reviewed were Strategy Numbers 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 156,
157, 158, 159, and 160.
The firefighting strategies are
presently preliminary and are scheduled to be approved by the
plant review committee in March 1988.
Training on the
strategies is scheduled for the quarter following their
approval.
Based on this review, the inspector determined that the
preliminary fi refi ghti ng strategies adequately addressed the
fire hazards in the area, the type of fire extinguishants to be
utilized, the direction of attack, systems in the room/area to
be managed in order to reduce fire damage, heat sensitive
equipment in the room/area, and specific fire brigade duties
with. regard to smoke control and salvage.
(4)
Fire Brigade Drill
During this inspectiori, the inspector witnessed an unannounced
fire brigade drill.
The drill fire scenario was a fire in the
Component Cooling Water (CCW) pump area which was apparently
caused by an electrical fault resulting in an oil fire at the A
CCW pump.
Six fire brigade members responded to the pending fire
emergency.
The brigade assembled outside the CCW pump area in
full protective firefighting turnout clothing and self contained
breathing apparatus.
An initial size-up of the fire condition
was made by the fire brigade leader and a 1-1/2 inch fire attack
hose 1 ine and portable extinguishers were advanced into the
area.
The fire attack hose line was placed in service on the
fire and the fire was placed under control in 20 minutes.
In
addition, the fire brigade initiated fire victim search and
rescue, smoke control, and water control operations.
The fire brigade utilized proper manual firefighting methods and
reacted to the fire drill scenario in an effective and efficient
manner.
- f.
Plant Tour and Inspection of Fire Protection Equipment
(1)
Inspection of Fire Brigade Manual Firefighting Equipment
The inspector performed an inspection of the* fire brigade
equipment 1 oc kers at the fire brigade equipment response
location located in the truckbay of the Turbine Building.
10
A total of four lockers were inspected which contained eight
sets of turnout gear (coats, boots, helmets, etc.), eight sets
of self* contained breathing apparatus, and 24 spare air
cylinders are stored just outside the control room in the
Turbine Building.
Based on this inspection, the designated fire brigade equipment
appeared to be properly maintained and stored in a ready
condition.
(2)
Outside Fire Protection Walkdown
The inspector verified that the two fire pumps were in service
with all essential valves properly aligned.
The diesel fuel
tank for the diesel driven fire pump was approximately three
qua rte rs ful 1 of fue 1 which met the requirements of the
Technical Specifications.
In addition, the low pressure CO 2
tank was verified to be at least 75% ful 1 as required by
Technical Specifications.
The following sectional control valves in the outside* fire
protection water supply system were inspected and verified to be
properly aligned and locked in position:
Valve Number
1-FP-35
- l-FP-46

- I-FP-87
1-FP-88
1-FP-89
1-FP-90
A 11 fire hydrants and fire hydrant hose * houses within the
protected area were inspected.
The inspector found that three hose houses (6, 8, and 9) did not
contain the minimum equipment required to be maintained in the
hose house by Proc*edure PT 24.4H, Fire Protection Hose Houses
and Hydrants.
In addition, Hose House* 9 is a Technical
SpecificatJon hose house identified in Section 3.21.A.O.
This
Technical Specification requires the minimum equipment to be in
the hose ho~se for the hose house to be operable.
The inspector followed up on this finding by reviewing the
monthly surveillances results associated with PT 24.4H for 1987
and 1988.
This review revealed ten additional occurrences where
equipment had been removed from Technical Specification hose
11
houses.
Discussions with plant personnel revealed that
emergency firefighting equipment was often being removed from
the hose houses for non-fire protection uses. This was the case
for the three hose houses found missing equipment by the
inspector.
The site fire protection organization took immediate corrective
action to restock the missing equipment in the three hose
houses.
However, the plant Fire Protection Program in Section
3.5.1 specifically limits the use of fire protection equipment
to preventing, detecting, extinguishing fire or. to perform
scheduled testing or training unless approved in writing by the
Loss Prevention Coordinator.
This is identified as Violation
Item 50-280, 281/88-07-01, Use of Fire Protection Equipment for
Non-Fire Protection Activities.
A tour of the exterior of the plant indicated that sufficient
clearance was
provided between permanent safety-related
buildings and structures and temporary buildings, trailers,and
other transient combustible materials.
The general housekeeping
of th,e area adjacent to the permanent plant structures was
satisfactory.
(3)
Permanent Plant Fire Protection Features
A plant tour was made by the inspector. During the plant tour,
the following safe shutdown related plant areas and their
related fire protection features were inspected:

The fire/smoke detection systems, manual firefighting equipment
(i.e., portable extinguishers, hose stations, etc.) and the fire
ar~a boundary walls, floors and ceiling associated with the
above plant areas were inspected and verified to be in service
or functional.
The CO 2 (Halon) system installed in the three Diesel Generator
rooms were inspected and found to be in service.
Based on this inspection, it appears that the ffre ~rotection
features associated with the above plant areas are
satisfactorily maintained.
The plant tour also verified the licensee's implementation of
the fire prevention administrative procedures.
The control of
12
combustibles and flammable materials, liquids and gases, and the
general housekeeping were found to be very good in the areas
inspected.
Two welding operations in the Turbine Building and Service
Building were observed.
.An approved
11Hot Work
11 permit had been
issued for each of the welding operations and the work practices
met the licensee's fire prevention control procedures.

Unit 1 Emergency Switchgear and Relay Room
Unit 1 cable Vault Tunnel
Unit 2 Emergency Switchgear and Relay Room
Auxiliary Building 13'-0 Elevation
Based on th~ inspectors observations of the above raceway fire
breaks, it appears that the fire breaks are being properly
maintained in a satisfactory condition.
The total flooding CO 2 systems protecting the Unit 1 and 2 Cable
Vaults and Tunnels and the total flooding Halon systems
protecting the Unit 1 and 2 emergency switchgear and relay rooms

actions described in the plant Fire Contingency Action
procedures was stored in it's designat~d location in the Service
Building.
All the required equipment was available at the time
of the inspection.
In addition, the inspector verified that the
equipment needed to facilitate replacement of the CCW pumps, if
they were damaged in a fire, was being maintained in the site
13
warehouse.
This equipment is described in Procedure
EEMP-C-CC-153, Emergency Installation of Temporary Component
Cooling Water Pump Motors.
The equipment was found to be
maintained and readily available in a designated area of the
