PURPOSE s Fire Protection Evaluation Report (FPER) represents the operating license (OL) fire ection program submittal for the Northeast Nuclear Energy Companys Millstone Unit 3 llstone 3). This evaluation, originally submitted in June 1977, has been revised to be onsive to Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) letter (D. G. Eisenhut to W. G. Counsil),
d October 21, 1981. This letter requested that the Millstone 3 OL fire protection program mittal provide a comparison with the provisions of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, which became ctive on February 17, 1980, and applies to operating plants licensed before January 1, 1979.
C has also issued additional guidance to operating plants in Generic Letter 81-12 bruary 20, 1981). The information requested in Generic Letter 81-12 has been taken into ount in this report. Additional NRC guidance is addressed in the Millstone Unit 3 Branch hnical Position 9.5-1 Compliance Report.
REPORT ORGANIZATION FPER is organized as follows.
tion 2 provides the historical background for fire protection design of Millstone 3. The fire ection program, including administrative aspects, such as fire brigade organization and ning, is described in Section 3. Fire protection features are described in Section 4. The results he fire hazards analysis, including designation of fire zones, are presented in Section 5.
tions 6 through 10 present information responsive to fire protection guidelines, Branch hnical Position (BTP) CMEB 9.5-1 (NUREG-0800), Rev. 2-1981, Sections C.5.b. and C.5.c.,
er the headings of safe shutdown evaluation, support systems, resolution of safe shutdown luation problem areas, and operator actions available following a fire. Conclusions are ented in Section 10.
o appendixes are included in order to provide comparisons with certain regulatory documents.
endix A, which was included in the previous submittals to provide an item-by-item position ement on BTP APCSB 9.5-1, Appendix A, (NRC letter R. S. Boyd to D. C. Switzer, tember 30, 1976) has been deleted.
endix B identifies areas in which the Millstone 3 design does not fully conform to the most nt fire protection guidelines, BTP CMEB 9.5, Rev. 2-1981 and provides a justification for e deviations. The differences noted should in no way be necessarily construed as a variance m regulations; rather, they are a documentation of deviations from acceptance criteria as stated he NRCs internal review guide (Standard Review Plan) for the FSAR.
endix C provides a list of each item of 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Section III, and indicates the tion within this report where each is addressed.
28/18 1-1 Rev. 31
September 30, 1976 (NRC letter, R. S. Boyd to D. C. Switzer), Northeast Nuclear Energy mpany (NNECo) was requested by the NRC to reevaluate its fire protection program in ordance with Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1, Guidelines for Fire Protection for Nuclear er Plants Docketed prior to July 1, 1976. On June 13, 1977, NNECo submitted to the NRC original issue of this report, Millstone Nuclear Power Station Unit 3, Fire Protection luation, which documented the detailed analysis performed for all fire areas. The report cated the extent of compliance of the design with Appendix A to APCSB 9.5-1.
February 20, 1980 (letter, W. G. Counsil to O. D. Parr), NNECo identified to the NRC that th unit construction being approximately 33 percent complete, many fire protection design ures have already been incorporated. Furthermore, since no additional guidance applicable to docket has been forwarded, construction continues under the assumption that we comply with protection requirements satisfactorily. However, if compliance is not recognized, a timely onse is requested to prevent costly backfits and subsequent delays at later, more critical, struction stages.
October 21, 1981 (letter, D. G. Eisenhut to W. G. Counsil), NNECo was requested by the NRC rovide a comparison in the Fire Protection Evaluation with Appendix R to 10 CFR 50, Fire tection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979 e Appendix C).
January 31, 1983 (Letter, D.G. Eisenhut to W.G. Counsil), NNECO was requested by the NRC rovide a comparison in the Fire Protection Evaluation with BTP CMEB 9.5-1 (NUREG 0), July 1981, specifically identifying deviations.

FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM re protection program has been established at the Millstone 3 Nuclear Power Plant. This gram establishes the fire protection policy for the protection of structures, systems, and ponents important to the safety of the plant and the procedures, equipment, and personnel uired to implement the program.
fire protection program is under the direction of an individual who has been delegated ority commensurate with the responsibilities of the position, and who has available staff onnel with knowledge in both fire protection and nuclear safety.
fire protection program extends the concepts of defense-in-depth to fire protection in areas ortant to safety, with the following objectives:
to prevent fires from starting; to detect rapidly and control and extinguish promptly those fires that do occur; and to provide protection for structures, systems, and components important to safety so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished by the fire suppression activities will not prevent the safe shutdown of the plant.
FIRE PROTECTION ORGANIZATION organization and individual responsibilities for elements of the Millstone Unit 3 Fire tection Program are contained in the Fire Protection / Appendix R (Fire Safe Shutdown) gram Procedure. Refer to Figure 6-1 of the Fire Protection Program Manual to identify the vidual responsible for specific program elements and the appropriate implementing cedures.
FIRE BRIGADE AND TRAINING Millstone Power Station Fire Brigade consists of a site fire brigade. As a minimum, each fire ade per shift consists of five members, including the Shift Fire Brigade Leader, who is wledgeable in plant safety-related system operations for their assigned unit. When a specific does not have a Fire Brigade Shift Leader, a Fire Brigade Advisor from that unit is required in ition to the five member Fire Brigade. The five members of each shift fire brigade are trained re fighting techniques and are able to effectively fight and control all postulated plant fires.
plemental assistance is also available from local fire departments.

FIRE PROTECTION 1 SITE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM er for fire protection is supplied by extending the fire protection piping system from Millstone d 2 to include Millstone 3, as shown on Figure 4-1.
underground fire protection water supply consists of 12 inch cement lined iron pipe in a loop ngement around Millstone Units 1, 2 and 3. Post-indicating type valves in the piping loop mit partial pipeline isolation without interrupting service to the entire system.
supply system services individually valved lines feeding fixed pipe water suppression ems (sprinklers, water spray, and standpipes) throughout the plant. Hydrants are located on an roximate 250 foot spacing arrangement or are otherwise strategically located for fire fighting poses. Hydrant hose houses, equipped for 2.5 and 1.5 inch hose stream service, are located r the hydrants.
Millstone Station Fire Water Loop is supplied from two 250,000 gallon ground level suction
- s. The tanks are automatically filled through a domestic water line fed from the city water em. This line is a 12 inch city feed with a 10 inch meter, bypass line, and two backflow venters. The city supply is capable of refilling the fire water tanks in eight hours. Valves on the rconnected tank suction lines provide the capability to manually isolate each tank in the event ailure of a tank or its piping system. The fire protection water supply system is independent of ice and sanitary water piping systems.
o fire pump houses contain the stations three fire pumps, each rated at 2,000 gpm at 100 psi.
three pumps can take suction from either or both tanks and have individual connections to the erground supply system. All three fire pumps have separate control panels supplied from arate power supplies. Pump running and trouble signals for all pumps as well as fire water tank l monitoring indications are available in the Unit 3 Control Room.
Unit 3 (Building 123) Fire Pumphouse contains the electric fire pump (M7-8), the diesel en fire pump (M7-7), and the 50 gpm electric jockey pump (M7-11). The Unit 2 (Building
) Fire Pumphouse is a separate structure adjacent to Building 123 and contains the other tric fire pump (P-82). These pumphouses are adjacent and independent of each other with the eption of sharing a common barrier.
tem operation is such that the 50 gpm electric jockey pump (M7-11) maintains system sure by automatically starting when line pressure drops to approximately 105 psig and will until pressure reaches 120 psig as indicated by a line pressure switch. An electric interlock ween the jockey pump and the M7-7 and M7-8 pump exists which stops the jockey pump n either pump starts. A hydropneumatic tank is provided in the system to prevent short ling of the jockey pump. The electric driven fire pump (P-82) is driven by an AC motor from 480V load center MP2 Bus 22D. This pump is activated by a pressure switch set at 95 psig. In 28/18 4-1 Rev. 31

In the event this switch or pump s to operate or system demand overwhelms this capacity and line pressure continues to drop, Diesel Driven Fire Pump (M7-7) is activated by a separate pressure switch set at 75 psig. The el driven fire pump is electrically independent with its own self contained redundant battery em for starting. A battery charger is provided for maintaining the batteries charged.
P-82 motor driven pump automatically stops after system pressure is maintained at 100 psi 5 minutes. Once started, the M7-7 and M7-8 fire pumps remain in operation until manually ped.
major fire in any location of Millstone Unit 3 should occur, the combined water tanks and eup water capacity would provide an adequate water supply for Millstone Unit 3. The essary pressure and flow would be maintained through the use of any two of the three station pumps.
2 FIXED SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS 2.1 Sprinkler and Waterspray Systems ed sprinkler and water spray systems, provided in various areas of the plant where in situ bustible loading warrants such protection, are designed in conformance with either National Protection Association (NFPA) Standard Number 13, Standard for the Installation of inkler Systems or NFPA Standard Number 15, Standard for Water spray Fixed Systems for Protection.
ed water systems are provided in the following design arrangements:
- automatic and manual operating, wet pipe sprinkler;
- automatic and manual operating water spray; and
- automatic operating preaction sprinkler.
individual system types and general locations are indicated in Table 4-1. Figure 4-1 shows general layout of these systems.
2.1.1 Automatic and Manual Operating, Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems omatic and manual closed head, wet pipe design sprinkler systems have an alarm check valve larm flow switch. All systems are provided with an outside screw and yoke (OS&Y) isolation e between the supply connections and system distribution piping.
nual closed head sprinkler systems utilized in the emergency generator enclosures are dry pipe ems to avoid the possibility of water damage to generator system components.
28/18 4-2 Rev. 31
n spray head, deluge type water spray systems are of both automatic and manual operating gn. All systems have a deluge valve located between the supply header and the distribution ng. An OS&Y isolation valve is used on all systems. Upon actuation of the deluge valve, er flows into the distribution piping and discharges from all spray heads.
omatic operation is initiated by a single zone heat detection (rate compensated or line type) uit installed in the hazard area.
nual operation of the automatic systems is provided electrically via pull stations located at the ge valve control panel (main and normal transformers), turbine building under truck bay drogen seal oil unit), the valve pit (reserve transformers) or outside the enclosure (lube oil rvoir and conditioner). Each deluge valve can be mechanically actuated at the deluge valve lf.
water spray systems for the charcoal filter assemblies in the auxiliary building are ually-operated deluge type systems employing open spray nozzles located within the filter ng. A manually-operated, recyclable deluge valve is provided between the supply header and distribution piping. The manual deluge valve is operated by local manual electric pushbuttons.
n manually opening the OS&Y isolation valve and manually initiating deluge valve opening, er flows into the distribution piping and discharges from all spray heads for a controlled period ime followed by automatic closing of the deluge valve.
Technical Support Center charcoal filter assembly is fitted with an external connector wing the internal deluge piping and open spray nozzles to be supplied by manually connecting se from a hose rack in the vicinity.
eat detection system within the filter casings provides early warning detection of a fire. The ctors alarm locally at the Allison Panels, at the local building zone alarms panel and at the n fire protection panel in the control room.
2.1.3 Automatic Operating Preaction Sprinkler System losed head automatic preaction sprinkler system protects the turbine generator bearing losures and the oil supply piping in the immediate area of the bearings.
eluge valve is located between the supply header and the distribution piping. Upon actuation he deluge valve, water flows into the distribution piping and discharges only from the fused nkler heads. An OS&Y isolation valve is located upstream of the deluge valve.
e compensated heat detectors in the hazard areas automatically actuate the deluge valve.
nual valve operation capability is provided electrically via a pull station located at the deluge trol panel. The deluge valve can be mechanically operated at the valve itself.
28/18 4-3 Rev. 31
m a valved connection to the service air supply in the building. An air maintenance device rcomes pressure loss from minor leaks. Upon loss of air pressure in the distribution piping em from an open sprinkler head or pipe leak, a low-air pressure signal is transmitted to the ge valve control panel and to the control room.
2.2 Carbon Dioxide Systems eral areas of the plant have low pressure carbon dioxide (CO2) suppression capability ection. This protection is used as the primary means of suppression in these areas.
ply for each zone is from a 45 ton, refrigerated bulk storage vessel south of the main steam e enclosure. This storage unit has sufficient volume to provide a two-shot, total flooding for largest protected area (control building, cable spreading area).
tribution of CO2 to each protected area is accomplished through a network of discharge ng, pneumatically operated master and area selector valves, zone control panels and nozzles.
ure 4-1 shows the general schematic layout of this equipment.
pressure CO2 suppression systems in the plant are of four basic designs:
- automatic operation, total flood;
- automatic operation, local application;
- manual operation; total flood; and
- manual operation, local application/total flood.
le 4-2 indicates each protected area, the type of system, and actuation methods.
total flood systems attain and maintain adequate CO2 concentrations as required by the nature he specific hazard based on the intent of NFPA Standard Number 12 guidelines. The minimum gn concentrations are obtained within 1 minute for surface fires and within 7 minutes for deep ed fires at a rate not less than that required to develop a concentration of 34 percent in 1 ute for the fuel oil tank vaults and 30 percent in 2 minutes for all other total flood areas. This harge is considered the Initial Discharge. To maintain the desired concentrations for a nty minute soak time and to compensate for normal agent leakage from the area, an Extended charge system is utilized.
design of the local application system for the fuel oil pump pit in the auxiliary boiler building been based on the rate by volume method. The duration was extended to allow for cooling of al parts in the pump pit area to prevent oil vapor re-ignition.
28/18 4-4 Rev. 31
lication/total flood system. The external bearing areas of the alterex casing is a local lication system with the internal of the alterex casing a total flood system.
ll electrical cable hazard areas, the total flooding CO2 systems are manually actuated.
nual system actuation is accomplished by the actuation of both cross-zoned smoke detector ngs and opening of the predischarge timer lockout ball valve to initiate CO2 discharge. Both detection cross-zone signals together provide one of the two inputs necessary to discharge
- 2. The other input is provided by the manual opening of the predischarge timer lockout ball
- e. Upon actuation of the first cross zone, an alarm signal is transmitted to the local alarm el and the Control Room. Upon actuation of the second cross zone, an alarm signal is smitted to the local alarm panel and to the Control Room, as well as generating an alarm dition within the local Chemetron panel. With both cross-zones in alarm or with the discharge timer lockout ball valve open, a horn actuates within the affected area and a strobe t actuates outside each of the access doors to the area. Upon discharge of CO2 in the protected
, ventilation damper closure and fan shutdown signals are initiated either from both zones in m in the Chemetron panel (cross zones in alarm and ball valve open) or CO2 discharge sure, a local pneumatic air horn sounds in the area, and an odorizer is released indicating CO2 harge.
he combustible liquid hazard areas, automatic system actuation is accomplished by the ration of a single zone, rate compensated heat detector circuit. Operation of a detector will ate transmission of a discharge alarm to the local Chemetron panel, building alarm panel, and main fire protection console in the Control Room, and will actuate predischarge alarms in the cted area. Following a time delay, CO2 discharge will then occur.
manual operating local application areas, as well as all other manual and automatic operating 2 suppression systems, are or can be actuated by manual key station devices located outside hazards areas or by the key switch at the Chemetron panel. Operation of the manual devices cause CO2 to discharge following a time delay when the lockout valve at the Chemetron el is in an open position. The key station actuation will immediately operate predischarge ms in the protected area and will initiate alarm signal transmission as described above. CO2 harge into the area sounds the local pneumatic discharge horns and initiates odorizer release.
eat CO2 discharges into any protected area can be accomplished by using the manual key ion for that area or the key switch at the Chemetron panel. This may be done without resetting control panel and may continue for as many cycles as there is available CO2 storage.
previously mentioned key-operated manual actuation stations also have an abort function provides authorized personnel the capability to stop an unwanted or inadvertent discharge for onnel or plant safety concerns.

sible, to limit the effects of direct impingement of CO2 on sensitive electrical equipment.
ckout of both automatic and manual discharge into any protected area is accomplished by rating a ball valve located at the Chemetron panel. Only by manually repositioning this valve he open position can CO2 discharge. During lockout, all detection systems continue to ction and transmit alarm signals. When an automatic system is in the locked-out mode, a ble signal is actuated at the Chemetron panel, the building alarm panel, and at the main fire ection console and color-graphics computer unit in the Control Room to provide continuous fication that the automatic CO2 system for the affected area is locked out. For a manual em, a trouble-signal is actuated at the Chemetron panel, the building alarm panel, and at the n fire protection console and color-graphics computer unit when the lockout ball valve is in a fully closed position, alerting the Control Room of the misaligned valve position. An trical lockout has been provided for all hazards which rely on cross-zone smoke detection one of the CO2 system discharge input signals.
electrical lockout consists of two key-locked control switches located in each hazards metron panel. For manual operation total flood CO2 systems, one of the key-locked control tches will isolate both fire detection system signals while the other will isolate the ball valve en discharge input signal. The electrical lockout is only used in conjunction with the hanical lock-out device, when required, to:
- 1. Prevent spurious CO2 predischarge alarms in hazards where personnel are working.
- 2. Prevent the Master Valve from opening due to work generated spurious detection signals assuming the ball valve is initially open.
- 3. Allow testing the CO2 system and fire detection system(s) without inadvertently actuating CO2 discharge.
- 4. Provide the capability to restart or reposition ventilation equipment previously secured by a CO2 release equipment shutdown signal to aid in purging CO2 from a hazard area to allow entry of personnel following fire extinguishment and/or completion of the CO2 discharge.
disarming of automatic CO2 systems will be regulated by an existing administrative control cedure. Relief venting for each CO2 protected area has been provided, as needed, in order to vent over-pressurization of the area in accordance with NFPA 12 guidelines.
kup power supply to the Chemetron panels is provided through the uninterrupted power ply (UPS) system (125 VDC supply).

Halon supply, except for the Fire Pump House, consists of a manifolded, high pressure em with dedicated main and connected reserve cylinder banks. This main/reserve supply ngement provides two-shot discharge capability. Should the first discharge fail, a second harge is immediately available by operating a cylinder selector switch (one switch for each set ain/reserve cylinders for each hazard). This supply feeds a fixed piping distribution system h applicator nozzles located throughout the protected areas. Figure 4-1 shows the general ematic layout of the Halon system. The Fire Pump House is provided with one cylinder bank.
systems are designed to provide a minimum 7 percent by room air volume concentration hin a 10 second discharge time, except for the Fire Pump House system, which provides a imum 5 percent by room air volume concentration.
systems, except for the Fire Pump House, are automatically operated by single-zone, rate pensated type heat detectors located in the protected area. Along with discharging the pression system, operation of any single detector actuates a local alarm bell outside the area transmits a signal to the system zone control panel and the building alarm panel, and at the n fire protection panel in the control room. The Fire Pump House system is a cross-zoned em that consists of one smoke detector and one rate of rise heat detector.
nual operation of the system is achieved by a manual pull station (one main and one reserve) ted on the outside wall of the protected area. Actuation of the pull station immediately harges the system, actuates a horn and light which indicate manual discharge, transmits a em actuation signal to the local, building and control room fire protection panels, trips fans, closes ventilation dampers in the affected area. All systems can be mechanically actuated at cylinder bank as a final method.
nual operation of the Fire Pump House system is achieved by a manual pull station located hin the Fire Pump House. There is no reserve tank for this system.
h system is controlled by a zone panel, which provides power to operate detection circuits, ate alarm signals and electrically actuate the Halon system. All system components are trically supervised for circuit continuity and component status (open/closed, on/off, etc.).

EMERGENCY LIGHTING SYSTEMS ion lighting assures adequate lighting during all operating conditions, accident conditions, sients, fire, and the loss of offsite power. The systems provide, as a minimum, lighting nsities at levels recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society Lighting Handbook.
mination is provided in accordance with OSHA requirements for all exit facilities and means gress. Exit signs are illuminated by normal AC and DC systems. Lighting is provided ediately outside any exit.
undant lighting systems, both AC and DC, are physically and electrically separated.
station lighting design is based on previously approved plants with satisfactory operating erience.
ion lighting contains three separate systems.
- 1. Normal AC lighting system is supplied from the normal (i.e., black) 480 VAC motor control centers (FSAR Section 8.3.1) through dry-type 480/208-120 VAC lighting transformers rated both one-and three-phase. This system provides general plant area lighting.
- 2. Essential AC lighting system is supplied from the emergency (i.e., orange or purple) 480 VAC motor control centers (FSAR Section 8.3.1) through 480/208-120 VAC, three-phase, dry-type voltage regulating transformers which are qualified as isolation devices. The output of the isolation transformers, although black, is run exclusively in conduit and does not share raceways with normal black power, emergency power, or with black power that originates from an isolation transformer supplied from the opposite emergency bus. The output of the isolation transformer is protected by a circuit breaker. This system provides lighting for the control room, the emergency switchgear rooms (including the auxiliary shutdown panel), and other safety-related and vital areas required to bring the plant to safe shutdown. In addition, access and egress paths for personnel evacuation throughout the station are provided with lighting from this system. The essential AC lighting operates continuously, with the exception of the lighting in 28/18 4-10 Rev. 31

EVALUATION CRITERIA evaluation of fire protection for Millstone 3 ascertains that it does provide reasonable rance that a fire will not cause an unacceptable risk to public health and safety, does not vent the performance of necessary safe shutdown functions, and does not significantly increase risk of radioactive release to the environment. Branch Technical Position (BTP) CMEB 9.5-1 vides specific guidelines used to review the fire protection program for an operating plant and, never applicable, these guidelines have been addressed. However, though specific BTP EB 9.5-1 guidelines indicate particular provisions for fire protection, the adequacy of the fire ection program is based on the effects of potential fire hazards throughout the plant. To vide broader guidelines for the evaluation, additional criteria were selected to serve as the s for the overall evaluation. These criteria are described below.
- 1. General Design Criterion 3 (10 CFR 50, Appendix A) - Fire Protection:
Structures, systems, and components important to safety shall be designed and located to minimize, consistent with other safety requirements, the probability and effect of fires and explosions. Noncombustible and heat resistant materials shall be used wherever practical throughout the unit, particularly in locations such as the containment and control room. Fire detection and fighting systems of appropriate capacity and capability shall be provided and designed to minimize the adverse effects of fires on structures, systems, and components important to safety. Fire fighting systems shall be designed to assure that their rupture or inadvertent operation does not significantly impair the safety capability of these structures, systems, and components.
- 2. Defense-in-Depth Criterion: For each fire hazard, a suitable combination of fire prevention, fire detection and suppression capability, and ability to withstand safely the effects of a fire is provided. Both equipment and procedural aspects of each are considered.
- 3. Single-Failure Criterion: No single active failure shall result in complete loss of protection of both the primary and backup fire suppression capability.
- 4. Fire Suppression System Capacity and Capability: Fire suppression capability is provided, with capacity adequate to extinguish any fire that can credibly occur and have adverse effects on equipment and components important to safety.
- 5. Backup Fire Suppression Capability: Total reliance for fire protection is not placed on a single automatic fire suppression system. Appropriate backup fire suppression capability is provided.
- 6. Acceptability of Manual Fire Suppression: If it can be shown that safe-shutdown capability is independent of any credible fire, manual fire fighting capability is sufficient to protect safety related systems.

different cable trays. There is complete separation, with either barrier or space, between trains and channels of redundant circuits, which agrees with Regulatory Guide 1.75, Rev. 1, dated January 1975. Electrical separation requirements between 1E cables and non-1E cables (either in a cable tray or free air) have been reduced from the distances specified in Regulatory Guide 1.75, Rev. 1, by means of a testing program. Fire barriers that include cable tray covers and cable wraps have been installed as required by Regulatory Guide 1.75 or where testing results demonstrated their adequacy for reduced separation requirements between 1E and non-1E cables. Any cable trays that are directly placed under a grating will have a cover on it. Suitable fire shields have been provided at common mode hazards to both safety systems. Some cable trays within the containment have noncombustible covers.
Fire stops are provided where cables pass through fire rated floors and walls.
Samples of all safety-related power cable (including 8-kV, 5-kV, and 1-kV cables),
1,000 volt control cable, 600 volt instrument cable, and triaxial cable have been tested and, as a minimum, meet IEEE Standard 383, Type Test of Class IE Electric Cables, Field Splices, and Connections to Nuclear Power Generating Stations. Non safety-related cable jackets are of flame retardant material, and fillers are flame retardant and non-wicking.
To the extent possible, cable construction that does not give off corrosive gases while burning is used; however, the fire retardant characteristics of the cables are accomplished by the addition of halogens.
FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS METHOD protection was evaluated by conducting a fire hazard analysis. If a deficiency with respect to requirements of BTP CMEB 9.5-1 was identified, its disposition was based on the fire hazard lysis and the criteria for the overall evaluation.
ore detailed description of the analysis method is given in the following summary:
- 1. Plant design features related to fire safety were determined. These include the overall plant layout, type, and location of combustible materials, type of construction and its fire resistant characteristics, fire detection and fire suppression systems, separation distance, etc.
- 2. Areas containing equipment and components important to safety were identified.
These areas and adjacent areas with fire hazard potential were subdivided into fire areas and zones within areas on the basis of existing boundary fire barriers and other logical physical divisions or equipment groupings. For each fire area/zone, the following were determined:
28/18 5-2 Rev. 31
cable insulation, oil, charcoal, and other identifiable combustibles including transients.
Total heat potential is calculated by summing the heat potential contribution for each type of combustible within a fire area/zone. Heat potential is calculated by multiplying the quantity of a particular combustible by that combustibles heat of combustion and dividing by the fire area/zone floor area. A combustible that has its heat potential calculated by this method is considered an ordinary combustible.
- b. Fire severity is determined by the material burned and its rate of burning.
To evaluate the fire resistance needed for any fire barrier, a fire severity (duration) is developed for each area. Severity is measured in terms of temperature and fire duration. Once the total heat potential (Btu/ft2) of an area or zone has been computed and has been corrected to be equivalent to wood, an equivalent fire severity may be determined.
To determine an equivalent fire severity, Table 6-6A, Estimated Fire Severity for Offices and Light Commercial Occupancies, National Fire Protection Association, Fire Protection Handbook, Seventeenth Edition, has been adopted for this analysis.
- c. Safety related equipment and safe shutdown equipment and systems in the area.
- d. Fire detection and suppression systems.
- e. Fire barrier boundaries.
- 3. For each area/zone, the adequacy of existing fire detection and fire suppression systems was evaluated considering the combustibility of materials, potential ignition sources, and the concentration of combustible materials.
- 4. Plant features were evaluated that impact directly or indirectly on the plant fire brigades ability to reach and effectively fight credible fires.
- 5. Drainage for water from fire suppression was assessed for adequacy and operability of safety related and safe-shutdown related equipment.
specific analysis results for each fire area or zone are given in Section 5.5.
ANSI/ASTM E 119, Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials NFPA 251 Standard Time-Temperature Curves are representative of the severity of a fire pletely burning out a brick, wood-joisted building and its contents.
28/18 5-3 Rev. 31
FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS ASSUMPTIONS fire hazard analysis was based on the following assumptions:
- 1. Fire areas were established as defined in Section 5.4.
- 2. Fire zones were established as defined in Section 5.4.
- 3. Floor area calculations assume that the entire floor area within the boundaries, as defined by exterior walls or other accepted divisions, is available for fire loading.
Obstructions within a given fire area, such as equipment or rooms that do not extend to the above floor elevation, are available for fire loading and, therefore, the surface area of these obstructions is included in the floor area calculation. The areas occupied by interior walls and columns (except in remote occurrences) are considered negligible. Stairwells and elevators are excluded from the floor area calculation.
- 4. Complete combustion of all the in-situ and transient combustible contents of a fire area was postulated.
- 5. All cable trays are assumed filled to the maximum allowable depth.
- 6. Transient combustibles are identified as those combustibles not normally considered in-situ but assumed to be within an area for maintenance purposes.
Normally, the quantity of transient combustibles is based on complete change out of lubricating/ hydraulic oil, charcoal, and resins. For areas containing replaceable resins and/or charcoal, one 55 gallon container of each, as applicable, is assumed to be in the area. For areas containing replaceable oils, quantity is determined by the amount of in situ oil and the logical container(s) in which the oil would be transported. Transient oils fire loading contribution are calculated as ordinary combustibles instead of by the rate of burning method (Sections 5.2 and 5.5).
- 7. Elimination of the fire hazard (or sufficient limitation of sphere of influence) is an acceptable method of providing fire protection.
- 8. The adequacy of fire doors and dampers or other protected penetrations of fire area boundaries is based on the design and rating of the door or damper compared to the rating of the penetrated boundary. A 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> rating has been used as a general guideline for the rating of barriers. Enclosures, especially shielding walls, without openings could have significantly higher ratings. Protection of openings is qualified to the required fire rating of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> or less.
- 9. Resins that are stored in steel tanks are not considered combustible.
28/18 5-4 Rev. 31
- 11. 11.BTP CMEB 9.5-1 requires that interior finishes should be noncombustible or listed by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, such as Factory Mutual or Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., for flame spread, smoke, and fuel contribution of 25 or less in its use configuration (ASTM E-84 Test, Surface Burning Characteristics of Building Materials). Finishes in this context are not directed at paint or coating systems for walls and equipment since these items do not normally constitute an appreciable fire loading. Paint is considered in the fire hazard analysis as part of the negligible fire loading.
- 12. All motors are metal except for winding insulation and bearing lubricant. The winding insulation consists of mica and resins. The mica is nonflammable. The resins may burn if ignited, but they require high temperatures. The total amount of resin in a motor is about 2 percent by weight. The amount of bearing lubricant in a motor is small. On these bases, they are considered in the fire hazard analysis as part of the negligible fire loading.
- 13. All insulation and replaceable filter media are listed by the Underwriters Laboratories and has a flame spread rating of not more than 25. Flame spread rating is in accordance with ASTM E-84. For this reason insulation and filter media are considered in the fire hazard analysis as part of the negligible fire loading.
- 14. Office areas are assumed to have a fire loading of 6 psf (heat potential of 48,000 Btu/ft2).
- 15. The condensate polishing facility records storage area is assumed to have a fire loading of 17.9 psf (heat potential of 143,200 Btu/ft2).
FIRE AREAS AND ZONES plant arrangement is divided into fire areas and fire zones for purposes of conducting the fire ard analysis and the safe shutdown evaluation. Fire areas are defined as plant areas bounded ire-rated assemblies of either 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> rated construction or lesser fire resistance as specifically tified and justified in the fire hazards analysis. Fire zones are zones within fire areas that are d to more thoroughly describe the fire area. Fire zones may or may not be bounded by fire d construction. The safe shutdown evaluation relies only on fire areas to determine the effects ire on safe shutdown.
ures 77A through 77F show this division and serve as reference for the fire hazard analyses tained in Section 5.5.
28/18 5-5 Rev. 31
s section presents the fire hazard analysis for each fire area.
er the heading, Combustible Loading, the following explanations are presented:
- 1. Oil fire calculations are based on depth of spill and burning rate of 6 inches per hour if the oil can be logically contained and can achieve an appreciable depth; otherwise, the oil is treated as an ordinary combustible.
Oils from pumps, motors, reducers, compressors, hydraulically operated valves, and motor operated dampers are examples that would be calculated as an ordinary combustible.
Oils from tanks, large reservoirs, and oil filled transformers would normally be calculated by the rate of burning method.
- 2. The fire load calculation documents the fire load and duration determined for each area and zone. Calculated Fire Loading (Btu/ft2) and Fire Duration (hours and minutes) values are relative terms and represent approximations of fires involving the actual combustibles present at the various locations compared to the standard fire described in Section 5.2. To reflect the comparative nature of these values, the specific quantities of combustibles and the exact time of Fire Duration is represented by the relative Severity Classification and limiting values for Fire Loading, as follows:
Severity Classification Fire Loading Value (Btu/ft2)
Insignificant < 6,500 Low < 80,000 Moderate < 160,000 Moderately Severe < 240,000 Severe 240,000 or above 28/18 5-6 Rev. 31

SEVERITY CLASSIFICATION FIRE LOADING VALUE (BTU/FT2)
Low < 80,000 STULATED FIRE The postulated fire is a pool fire in the SBO D/G enclosure area due to the rupturing of an oil transfer line or cable insulation/switchgear fire resulting from a transient ignition source of electrical fault.
NSEQUENCES OF POSTULATED FIRE A fire in this area would possibly involve electrical cables, lube oil and/or fuel for the SBO Diesel Generator. As a result, damage to the diesel generator/components would be expected. Because the area is fully protected by an automatic preaction sprinkler system which alarms back to the continually manned Control Room when actuated, a fire would be quickly detected and controlled/extinguished. Excessive oil and water would drain from the enclosure back to the Fuel Oil Vault via (2) two inch diameter spare lines running from the bottom of the enclosure to the Vault. The fire would also be detected by the rate-of-rise heat detectors in the SBO D/G Enclosure or by smoke detectors located in the SBO Switchgear Enclosure and connecting corridor. These detector systems alarm at the local fire panel 3FPA-PNL ZP10. In addition to the automatic preaction sprinkler system, portable CO2 and dry chemical fire extinguishers are provided external and internal of the SBO D/G and Switchgear Enclosure areas for fire brigade use. Any damage is expected to be restricted to the immediate area/equipment/component involved. However, in the event that these cables and equipment sustain damage, plant safe shutdown can be achieved without this equipment.

Severe 240,000 or above STULATED FIRE The postulated fire is a pool fire in the SBO Fuel Oil Storage Tank containment dike due to the rupturing of the tank and/or the fuel transfer line, and a transient ignition source.
NSEQUENCES OF POSTULATED FIRE A fire in this area would possibly involve the MP3 SBO diesel generator and its components. The fire is expected to be contained in the containment dike around the tank.
However, the fire could produce radiant heat that may ignite a fire in the adjacent SBO-1 fire area. As a result, damage to the MP3 SBO diesel generator/components would be expected. Fire area SBO-1 has an automatic fire suppression system which would quickly extinguish the fire. Fire fighting foam, portable CO2 fire extinguishers and dry chemical fire extinguishers are provided for the area (SBO-2) for fire brigade use to quickly extinguish the fire. MP3 safe shutdown can be achieved without this equipment.
In the event that the fuel oil storage tank sustains damage, safe shutdown can still be achieved for MP2 since a fire in MP2 Appendix R Fire Areas R-1, R-11 and R-16 is not assumed to occur coincident with an MP2 SBO event, an MP3 SBO event or a fire in the MP3 SBO area.

BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS atastrophic fire at Millstone 3, which could include damage to a fire area or impact the plants ity to achieve or maintain safe shutdown conditions, was the basis for this evaluation. Specific ils of the evaluation are contained in the MP3 Branch Technical Position 9.5-1 Compliance ort.
or assumptions in addressing safe shutdown capabilities are as follows:
- 1. While operating at power, the unit develops a fire in any one fire area or zone which could affect safe shutdown equipment or systems.
- 2. The unit is brought to hot standby immediately by tripping the reactor/turbine and is capable of remaining at hot shutdown status and then achieving cold shutdown conditions in 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
- 3. Loss of off site power is assumed coincident with the fire. For the hot short portion of the circuit failure analysis, off site power is assumed to be available as it represents the worst case with respect to spurious operation of the equipment.
- 4. Safe shutdown is achieved using only on site powered equipment. Both QA and non-QA equipment can be used to achieve safe shutdown.
- 5. No additional, single, or multiple failures or events are considered, other than those generated by the fire.
- 6. All equipment required for hot standby either fail in a safe position or is protected to the extent that at least one method of shutdown will be undamaged by the postulated fire.
- 7. Mechanical equipment (e.g., pipe, heat exchangers, pumps, valves with manual operators/overrides) are assumed to be operable after the fire. The system pressure boundary is unaffected.
- 8. Systems required for cold shutdown are protected to the extent that any required fire damaged components can be repaired and cold shutdown achieved within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> using on site resources. Materials required for repairs are from a dedicated supply on the site. Procedures are available documenting the method of intended repairs. Repair crews will not utilize members of the fire brigade.
- 9. Systems not required for immediate use will be protected to the extent that safe shutdown can be accomplished with only minor operator actions (e.g., local manual control of valves). Adequate operations personnel are available to 28/18 6-1 Rev. 31
SYSTEMS REQUIRED FOR SAFE SHUTDOWN 1 EACH FUNCTION REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN SAFE SHUTDOWN WAS EVALUATED BY FIRE AREA se functions are as follows:
Reactivity Control (Reactor trip, scram and boration capability)
Reactor Coolant Makeup Reactor Coolant System Pressure Control Decay Heat Removal Process Monitoring Support (The systems required to support the above functions) systems to perform these functions are as follows: (Figures referenced in this section are R figures.)
Figures 5.1-1 and 5.1 Reactor Coolant System Figure 9.3 Chemical and Volume Control System Figure 10.4 Auxiliary Feedwater System Figure 6.3 Residual Heat Removal System Figure 9.2 Component Cooling Water System Figure 9.2 Service Water System ddition to the above functions, the systems required to support these functions were also luated. A general description of each system to fulfill each function is provided in the sections ch follow.
erent in the design of Millstone 3 is the system flexibility to allow accomplishment of tdown functions by more than one method. This flexibility is such that, in most cases, if ipment in one area is damaged by fire, equipment located within another area can accomplish shutdown function. The system flexibility, forms the fundamental philosophy for achieving shutdown following fires. Refer to the MP3 BTP-9.5-1 Compliance Report for specific ils of the safe shutdown analysis and Section 3.2 of the MP3 BTP CR for simplified flow rams of the safe shutdown systems.
28/18 6-2 Rev. 31
owing a postulated transient exposure fire, the plant could reject decay heat either by dumping m to the atmosphere via main steam safety valves and/or power operated relief valves, if ilable. If the fire is located within the main steam valve building and all electrical controls on es were lost, heat will be rejected by releasing steam to the atmosphere through the main m safety valves. Cold shutdown may be achieved via manual local operation of the ospheric Dump Bypass Valves depressurizing to RHR entry conditions.
ential primary and secondary instrumentation indication is available for all postulated fires at h the main control room and the auxiliary shutdown panel (refer to Figure 6-1.2).
1.2 Reactor Coolant System Letdown ctor coolant letdown can be accomplished by Method A, the normal letdown path through the mical volume control system (CHS), or Method B, through the reactor vessel head vent em to the pressurizer relief tank (PRT). Method B is used when a fire could affect the ability he valves in Method A to be properly positioned. Because of redundant safety grade paths in hod B, control of reactor coolant letdown is always available to achieve safe shutdown.
1.3 Auxiliary Feedwater System auxiliary feedwater system supplies water to the secondary side of the steam generator, thus ntaining a secondary heat sink for decay heat removal. Method A consists of two Class 1E or-driven pumps and redundant valves and piping. One motor-driven pump is capable of plying the required feedwater flow to two steam generators. Method B consists of one ine-driven feed pump and associated piping and valves to each steam generator. In most of the tulated fires, Method B is available to provide two or more steam generators with auxiliary water. When Method B becomes unavailable, Method A can provide auxiliary feedwater ction to two or more steam generators. The auxiliary feedwater pumps take suction from the ineralized water storage tank (DWST). Additional auxiliary feedwater is available from the densate storage tank (CST).
1.4 Reactor Coolant Boration owing a fire, the charging pump suction would be diverted from the volume control tank T) to the boric acid tank (BAT) or the refueling water storage tank (RWST). Boric acid would be provided through gravity feed lines to the charging pumps. If the three charging pumps e lost due to a fire, boration could be accomplished by using the safety injection pumps and ated water from the RWST. This must be accomplished in conjunction with RCS ressurization because of the high pressure safety injection pump head capabilities.
1.5 Reactor Coolant System Pressure Control aid in achieving safe shutdown, the reactor coolant system (RCS) must be depressurized by of two methods. The charging pumps provide borated water to the pressurizer via the 28/18 6-3 Rev. 31
ef tank (PRT) via the power operated relief valves (PORV). This method provides a safety de method ensuring the plants safe shutdown capabilities.
1.6 Residual Heat Removal System Millstone 3 plant is designed so that one method of RHR is always available in the event of a tulated fire. RHR is required only for cold shutdown, which provides a sufficient time interval manual valve operations, if required.
1.7 Component Cooling Water System s function provides cooling water to the RHR heat exchangers to remove decay heat from the S. If all three component cooling water pump motors were damaged due to fire, the plant is to safely remain at hot shutdown until the system is repaired (Section 9.2).
1.8 Service Water System service water system provides the ultimate heat sink for the CCP system and the emergency el generators. Method A provides cooling water for the orange diesel generator, while Method rovides cooling water for the purple diesel generator. This design assures the availability of method of service water.
2 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM HIGH/LOW PRESSURE INTERFACE view was conducted to identify low-pressure system interfaces with the RCS. Interface points ch consist of passive pressure boundary barriers (reactor coolant pump thermal barriers and s, manually operated normally closed valves), were not considered; such boundaries are gned with sufficient margin to ensure that the design conditions of the reactor coolant sure boundary are not exceeded during any condition of normal operation, and are not subject purious actuations. The remaining interface points were examined from a fire protection wpoint to determine whether spurious valve actuations due to a fire could result in loss of RCS sure or inventory control. Refer to the MP3 BTP 9.5-1 Compliance Report for specific details.
3 LOSS OF OFFSITE POWER P CMEB 9.5-1 Section C.5.c.(3) states in part:
the alternative shutdown capability shall be independent of the specific fire area(s) and shall accommodate postfire conditions where offsite power is available and where offsite power is not available for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.
re event coincident with a loss of offsite power is the limiting scenario and it represents a rst case approach. For this reason safe shutdown capability is maintained in the event of a occurring in any one fire area coincident with a loss of offsite power. This position is more 28/18 6-4 Rev. 31

emergency diesel generator is required for safe shutdown subsequent to a fire in any fire area.
sel engine cooling water is provided by service water which has been demonstrated, to be ilable. The ventilation fans and dampers for both diesel generator rooms are controlled from ventilation panel (VP-1) in the main control room. To mitigate the potential consequences of a n control room disabling fire, the control circuits are de-energized in the respective emergency tchgear room to remove power from the dampers, causing them to fail open.
VENTILATION ergency switchgear room ventilation fans are controlled from the VP-1 panel in the main trol room. Control of fans 3HVC*ACU4A, B and 3HVC*ACU3A and B are operational from r power source in the switchgear room independent of the main control room, instrument rack m, and cable spreading room.
nual alignment of service water to the east (orange) switchgear ventilation units cooling coils ntains space temperatures within allowable limits to support equipment and personnel.
COOLING TO THE REACTOR COOLANT PUMP SEALS prevent the reactor coolant pump (RCP) seals from failure due to overheating, cooling water is plied from either the component cooling water system (CCP) and/or the chemical and volume trol system (CHS). Normally, both of these systems supply cooling water to the RCP seals, ough only one source is needed when the reactor coolant pumps are not in operation. Both the P pump and the CHS pumps are located in the same fire area AB-1, auxiliary building ation 24 feet 6 inches. The charging pumps are located within individual cubicles with a rinth access way. The CCP pumps are located at the other end of the auxiliary building ater than 50 feet apart). In addition, the area is provided with automatic fire suppression and ction. Failure of the three charging pumps coincident with the failure of the three component ling water pumps due to fire is considered an incredible event. Therefore, the loss of either the rging pumps or the component cooling water pumps does not affect the safe shutdown ability of Millstone 3.
INSTRUMENT AIR SYSTEM mally, the instrument air system supplies air to the valves required to operate for safe tdown (e.g., letdown, depressurization).
s air is supplied by two safety powered air compressors. In the event that both of these pressors are damaged due to the fire, Millstone 3 is designed so that the required function of letdown and depressurization is accomplished by other safety grade methods (i.e., reactor d vent system, venting to the PRT). Therefore, the loss of the instrument air system due to fire s not affect the plant's ability to achieve and maintain safe shutdown conditions.

LONG-TERM HOT SHUTDOWN maintain secondary heat sink, the auxiliary feedwater system supplies water to the steam erators. This allows removal of heat from the reactor coolant system. Refer to the MP3 BTP 1 Compliance Report for Details.
CONTROL SYSTEM ISOLATION FOR CONTROL ROOM/SPREADING ROOM/IRR FIRES valuating the consequences of fires in the control room, instrument rack room, and cable ading room, it was determined to be necessary to add a controls system to transfer signals m the affected areas to the switchgear rooms. The control system, along with certain manual ons, allows the plant to be brought to cold shutdown without the use of the control room, rument rack room, or cable spreading room. A summary of these additions follows:
- 1. A new fire transfer panel, located in the orange emergency switchgear room, is provided. This panel contains the required number of control transfer switches, power supplies, and signal conditioning electronics required for safe shutdown of 28/18 8-1 Rev. 31
The transfer switch function is to disassociate the ASP controls and indicators from their normal support components, which may be lost by fire, and replace those signals with signals from the new transmitters. Block diagrams of transfer schemes are provided on Figures 8-1 and 8-2.
- 2. Additional instrumentation for monitoring plant process variables is provided.
These include six pressure transmitters, five level transmitters, four flow transmitters, two neutron sensors, neutron flux processing racks, and four temperature transmitters.
Two environmentally qualified neutron detectors are installed in the spare wells in the neutron shield tank. Two qualified electronic channels are installed and powered from a vital instrument bus.
- 3. Key lock control switches at the local motor control centers are added for the following: 3HVC*ACU3A,B and 4A,B. These are provided for local administrative controls at the MCCs in the event of fire in the main control room.
Parallel control power fuses are provided.
- 4. Diesel generator control circuits have been modified to provide adequate isolation and control from the local control panel. Parallel control power fuses are required.
- 5. Adequate isolation and control has been provided at the switchgear area for all 4,160 V loads.
- 6. Local manual breaker control is available for all major distribution breakers.
FIRE PROTECTION OF CABLE he safe shutdown functions were evaluated, cabling which supplied power to all required ponents was also considered (e.g., motor valves and equipment). The cables routed inside tainment for 3FPW*CTV49 are protected by the use of fire rated cable.
AUXILIARY BUILDING ELEVATION 24 FEET 6 INCHES or components of the two systems considered in the safe shutdown evaluation are located at iliary building elevation 24 feet 6 inches. These are the three charging pumps (CHS) and the e component cooling pumps (CCP).
mally, both of these systems supply cooling water to the reactor coolant pump seals during the shutdown period. However, only one source of cooling is needed when the pumps are not in ration. In addition, CCP is required for cold shutdown to remove heat from the residual heat 28/18 8-2 Rev. 31
CCP pumps are approximately 60 feet from the charging pump cubicle. In addition to this aration, manual hose stations are located throughout the area at elevation 24 feet 6 inches. If f the component cooling water pumps were damaged, Millstone 3 has the on site capability to ir a train of component cooling within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. These precautions and modifications ngthen the position that both the charging pumps and the component cooling pumps are not ultaneously damaged by a fire. Portable ventilation will be provided to cool the CCP pumps uld all auxiliary building ventilation be lost.
REACTOR CONTAINMENT hough the design of Millstone 3 containment does not meet the guidelines of BTP CMEB 1, sufficient design features exist to support a request for a deviation in the area, based upon following consideration:
The Millstone containment structure is normally unmanned, and equipped with both fire detection and automatic water suppression. The automatic water suppression system provides protection and separation for the electrical penetration area. The reactor coolant pumps are equipped with a seismic oil collection system which is capable of collecting the entire reactor coolant pump motor lubrication system oil volume. Additional suppression is provided by fire hose stations and portable fire extinguishers. All electrical cables are fire resistant and pass the vertical flame test as prescribed by IEEE-383. Safety-related cables are train designated, with the redundant cables routed separately either in covered tray and/or enclosed conduit except at the below listed locations:
- 1. In-core thermocouple cable raceways above the Refueling Cavity.
- 2. The cable raceways at the Outer Annulus Electrical Penetration area.
- 3. The cable trays located in the Pressurizer Cubicle below the 51 foot elevation floor area.
Strategically located cable tray fire breaks are provided to prevent horizontal fire spread along cable trays. Separation of redundant tray and conduit is maintained throughout containment in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.75, except as noted by deviation in Section 7.1.2.2.1 of the MPS-3 FSAR for the In-Core thermocouple raceways.
as been concluded that the above described protection features meet the guidelines of BTP EB 9.5-1.

. FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
.a. Fire Protection Program SITION C.1.a re protection program should be established at each nuclear power plant. The program should blish the fire protection policy for the protection of structures, systems, and components ortant to safety at each plant and the procedures, equipment, and personnel required to lement the program at the plant site.
The fire protection program should be under the direction of an individual who has been delegated authority commensurate with the responsibilities of the position and who has available staff personnel knowledgeable in both fire protection and nuclear safety.
The fire protection program should extend the concept of defense-in-depth to fire protection in fire areas important to safety, with the following objectives:
- to prevent fires from starting;
- to detect rapidly, control, and extinguish promptly those fires that do occur;
- to provide protection for structures, systems, and components important to safety so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished by the fire suppression activities does not prevent the safe shutdown of the plant.
Responsibility for the overall fire protection program should be assigned to a person who has management control over all organizations involved in fire protection activities.
Formulation and assurance of program implementation may be delegated to a staff composed of personnel prepared by training and experience in fire protection and personnel prepared by training and experience in nuclear plant safety to provide a balanced approach in directing the fire protection program for the nuclear power plant.
The staff should be responsible for:
(a) Fire protection program requirements, including consideration of potential hazards associated with postulated fires, with knowledge of building layout and systems design.
(b) Post-fire shutdown capability.

iii. The responsibilities of the fire brigade members under normal plant conditions should not conflict with their responsibilities during a fire emergency.
iv. The minimum number of trained fire brigade members available on site for each operating shift should be consistent with the activities required to combat the most significant fire. The size of the fire brigade should be based upon the functions required to fight fires with adequate allowance for injuries.
- v. The recommendations for organization, training, and equipment of Private Fire Brigades as specified in NFPA No. 27-1975, including the applicable NFPA publications listed in the appendix to NFPA No. 27, are considered 28/18 B-3 Rev. 31
Personnel Qualifications (a) The position responsible for formulation and implementation of the fire protection program (FPP) should have within his organization or as a consultant a fire protection engineer who is a graduate of an engineering curriculum of accepted standing and shall have completed not less than 6 years of engineering attainment indicative of growth in engineering competency and achievement, 3 years of which shall have been in responsible charge of fire protection engineering work.

No. 4 - Organization for Fire Services No. 4A - Organization of a Fire Department No. 6 - Industrial Fire Loss Prevention No. 7 - Management of Fire Emergencies No. 8 - Management Responsibilities for Effects of Fire on Operations No. 27 - Private Fire Brigades On sites where there is an operating reactor and construction or modification of other units is underway, the superintendent of the operating plant should have the lead responsibility for site fire protection.
SPONSE C.1.a FPP is based on the guidelines of this position.
.b. Fire Hazards Analysis 28/18 B-4 Rev. 31
fire hazards analysis demonstrates that the plant can maintain the ability to perform safe tdown functions and minimize radioactive releases to the environment in the event of a fire.
fire hazards analysis should be performed by qualified fire protection and reactor systems ineers to (1) consider potential in situ and transient fire hazards; (2) determine the sequences of fire in any location in the plant on the ability to safely shut down the reactor or he ability to minimize and control the release of radioactivity to the environment; and (3) cify measures for fire prevention, fire detection, fire suppression, and fire containment and rnative shutdown capability as required for each fire area containing structures, systems, and ponents important to safety that are in conformance with NRC guidelines and regulations.
orst case fires need not be postulated to be simultaneous with non fire-related failures in ty systems, plant accidents, or the most severe natural phenomena.
multiple-reactor sites, unrelated fires in two or more units need not be postulated to occur ultaneously. Fires involving facilities shared between units and fires due to man-made site-ted events that have a reasonable probability of occurring and affecting more than one reactor (such as an aircraft crash) should be considered.
ause fire may affect safe shutdown systems and because the loss of function of systems used itigate the consequences of design basis accidents under post-fire conditions does not per se act public safety, the need to limit fire damage to systems required to achieve and maintain shutdown conditions is greater than the need to limit fire damage to those systems required to gate the consequences of design basis accidents. Three levels of fire damage limits are blished according to the safety function of the structure, system, or component:
Safety Function Fire Damage Limits Hot shutdown One train of equipment necessary to achieve hot shutdown from either the control room or emergency control station(s) must be maintained free of fire damage by a single fire, including an exposure fire.
Cold shutdown Both trains of equipment necessary to achieve cold shutdown may be damaged by a single fire, including an exposure fire, but damage must be limited so that at least one train can be repaired or made operable within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> using on site capability.
Design basis accidents Both trains of equipment necessary for mitigation of consequences following design basis accidents may be damaged by a single exposure fire.
28/18 B-5 Rev. 31
not necessary for safe shutdown may be lost to a single exposure fire. However, protection is vided so that a fire within only one such system does not damage the redundant system.
fire hazards analysis should separately identify hazards and provide appropriate protection in tions where safety-related losses can occur as a result of:
Concentrations of combustible contents, including transient fire loads due to combustibles expected to be used in normal operations such as refueling, maintenance, and modifications; Continuity of combustible contents, furnishings, building materials, or combinations thereof in configurations conducive to fire spread; Exposure fire, heat, smoke, or water exposure, including those that may necessitate evacuation from areas that are required to be attended for safe shutdown; Fire in control rooms or other locations having critical safety-related functions; Lack of adequate access or smoke removal facilities that impede fire extinguishment in safety-related areas; Lack of explosion-prevent measures; Loss of electric power or control circuits; Inadvertent operation of fire suppression systems.
fire hazards analysis should verify that the NRC fire protection program guidelines have been
. The analysis should list applicable elements of the program, with explanatory statements as ded to identify location, type of system, and design criteria. The analysis should identify and ify any deviations from the regulatory guidelines. Justification for deviations from the ulatory guidelines shows that an equivalent level of protection can be achieved. Deletion of a ective feature without compensating alternative protection measures is not acceptable, unless clearly demonstrated that the protective measure is not needed because of the design and ngement of the particular plant.
SPONSE C.1.b evised fire hazards analysis which addresses the issues noted in Position C.1.b is presented in tion 5 of this report.
.c. Fire Suppression System Design Basis 28/18 B-6 Rev. 31
Total reliance should not be placed on a single fire suppression system. Appropriate backup fire suppression capability should be provided.
A single active failure or a crack in a moderate-energy line (pipe) in the fire suppression system should not impair both the primary and backup fire suppression capability. For example, neither the failure of a fire pump, its power supply or controls, nor a crack in a moderate-energy line in the fire suppression system, should result in loss of function of both sprinkler and hose standpipe systems in an area protected by such primary and backup systems.
SPONSE C.1.c.(1) and (2)
In every safe shutdown fire area or other areas which expose safe shutdown areas, there is not a total reliance on a single suppression system or method. As a minimum, two suppression methods are available in the form of either fixed suppression system or fire brigade suppression using manual hose streams or portable extinguishers.
The loss of any fire protection system does not affect the function of the back-up manual suppression systems.
SITION C.1.c.(3) a minimum, the fire suppression system should be capable of delivering water to manual hose ions located within hose reach of areas containing equipment required for safe plant shutdown owing the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE). In areas of high seismic activity, the staff will sider on a case-by-case basis the need to design the fire detection and suppression systems to unctional following the SSE.
SPONSE C.1.c.(3) safe shutdown areas of the plant are provided with hose stream coverage for use by the plant brigade. Refer to the Fire Protection Evaluation Report (FPER), Section 5, for specific rmation for any fire area. Millstone 3 is not required to provide seismically designed hose ion/standpipe systems. A deviation request has been submitted and transmitted to the NRC (J.
peka to B. J. Youngblood, Letter B11769, dated October 7, 1985-Docket No. 50-423) rding plant location that could not be reached a maximum of 100 feet of fire hose from dpipe system(s), and provides anticipated required hose length and supporting calculations to firm that no significant hydraulic degradation will occur. A deviation request has been mitted and transmitted to the NRC (J. F. Opeka to B. J. Youngblood, Letter B11760, dated ober 1, 1985-Docket No. 50-423) regarding design of combined standpipe/suppression ems.
28/18 B-7 Rev. 31
fire protection systems should retain their original design capability for (a) natural nomena of less severity and greater frequency than the most severe natural phenomena proximately once in 10 years) such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, ice storms, or ll-intensity earthquakes that are characteristic of the geographic region, and (b) potential
-made site-related events such as oil barge collisions or aircraft crashes that have a reasonable bability of occurring at a specific plant site. The effects of lightning strikes should be included he overall plant fire protection program.
SPONSE C.1.c.(4) fire protection systems at Millstone 3 comply with this position, except as noted in response osition C.1.c(3).
SITION C.1.c.(5) consequences of inadvertent operation of or a crack in a moderate energy line in the fire pression system should meet the guidelines specified for moderate-energy systems outside tainment in SRP Section 3.6.1.
SPONSE C.1.c.(5) inadvertent operation evaluation is being conducted at this time.
SITION C.1.d rnative or dedicated shutdown capability should be provided where the protection of systems se functions are required for safe shutdown is not provided by established fire suppression hods or by Position C.5.b.
SPONSE C.1.d ernative shutdown capability is provided.
SITION C.1.e.(1) (2) and (3)
The fire protection program (plans, personnel, and equipment) for buildings storing new reactor fuel and for adjacent fire areas that could affect the fuel storage area should be fully operational before fuel is received at the site. Such adjacent areas include those whose flames, hot gases, and fire-generated toxic and corrosive products may jeopardize safety and surveillance of the stored fuel.
The fire protection program for an entire reactor unit should be fully operational prior to initial fuel loading in that reactor unit.
28/18 B-8 Rev. 31
evaluation of fire hazards. Additional fire barriers, fire protection capability, and administrative controls should be provided as necessary to protect the operating unit from construction fire hazards.
SPONSE C.1.e.(1) (2) and (3) fire protection program has been developed and is implemented in accordance with the uirements of Position C.1.e.(1) (2) and (3).
. ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS SITION C.2.
ministrative controls should be used to maintain the performance of the fire protective system personnel. These controls should establish procedures to:
Prohibit bulk storage of combustible materials inside or adjacent to safety-related buildings or systems during operation or maintenance periods. Regulatory Guide 1.39 provides guidance on housekeeping, including the disposal or combustible materials.
Govern the handling and limitation of the use of ordinary combustible materials, combustible and flammable gases and liquids, high efficiency particulate air and charcoal filters, dry ion exchange resins, or other combustible supplies in safety-related areas.
Govern the handling of and limit transient fire loads such as combustible and flammable liquids, wood and plastic products, or other combustible materials in buildings containing safety-related systems or equipment during all phases of operating, and especially during maintenance, modification, or refueling operations.
Designate the on site staff member responsible for the in-plant fire protection review of proposed work activities to identify potential transient fire hazards and specify required additional fire protection in the work activity procedure.
Govern the use of ignition sources by use of a flame permit system to control welding, flame cutting, brazing, or soldering operations. A separate permit should be issued for each area where work is to be done. If work continues over more than one shift, the permit should be valid for not more than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> when the plant is operating or for the duration of a particular job during plant shutdown.
Control the removal from the area of all waste, debris, scrap, oil spills, or other combustibles resulting from the work activity immediately following completion of the activity, or at the end of each work shift, whichever comes first.
28/18 B-9 Rev. 31
should not be permitted.
Maintain the periodic housekeeping inspections to ensure continued compliance with these administrative controls.
Control the use of specific combustibles in safety-related areas. All wood used in safety-related areas during maintenance, modification, or refueling operation (such as lay-down blocks or scaffolding) should be treated with a flame retardant. Equipment or supplies (such as new fuel) shipped in untreated combustible packing containers may be unpacked in safety-related areas if required for valid operating reasons. However, all combustible materials should be removed from the area immediately following unpacking. Such transient combustible material, unless stored in approved containers, should not be left unattended during lunch breaks, shift changes, or other similar periods.
Loose combustible packing material such as wood or paper excelsior, or polyethylene sheeting should be placed in metal containers with tight-fitting self-closing metal covers.
Disarming of fire detection or fire suppression systems should be controlled by a permit system. Fire watches should be established in areas where systems are so disarmed.
Successful fire protection requires testing and maintenance of the fire protection equipment and the emergency lighting and communication. A test plan that lists the individuals and their responsibilities in connection with routine tests and inspections of the fire detection and protection systems should be developed. The test plan should contain the types, frequency, and detailed procedures for testing. Procedures should also contain instructions on maintaining fire protection during those periods when the fire protection system is impaired or during periods of plant maintenance, e.g., fire watches or temporary hose connections to water systems.
Control actions to be taken by an individual discovering a fire, for example, notification of control room, attempt to extinguish fire, and actuation of local fire suppression systems.
Control actions to be taken by the control room operator to determine the need for brigade assistance upon report of a fire or receipt of alarm on control room annunciator panel, for example, announcing location of fire over PA system, sounding fire alarms, and notifying the shift supervisor and the fire brigade leader of the type, size, and location of the fire.
Control actions to be taken by the fire brigade after notification by the control room operator of a fire, for example, assembling in a designated location, receiving directions from the fire brigade leader, and discharging specific fire fighting responsibilities, including selection and transportation of fire fighting equipment to fire location, selection of protective equipment, operating instructions for use of fire suppression systems, and use of preplanned strategies for fighting fires in specific areas.
28/18 B-10 Rev. 31
(1) Fire hazards in each area covered by the specific prefire plans.
(2) Fire extinguishants best suited for controlling the fires associated with the fire hazards in that area and the nearest location of these extinguishants.
(3) Most favorable direction from which to attack a fire in each area in view of the ventilation direction, access hallways, stairs, and doors that are most likely to be free of fire, and the best station or elevation for fighting the fire. All access and egress routes that involve locked doors should be specifically identified in the procedure with the appropriate precautions and methods for access specified.
(4) Plant systems that should be managed to reduce the damage potential during a local fire and the location of local and remote controls for such management (e.g.,
any hydraulic or electrical systems in the zone covered by the specific fire fighting procedures that could increase the hazards in the area because of overpressurization or electrical hazards).
(5) Vital heat-sensitive system components that need to be kept cool while fighting a local fire. Particularly hazardous combustibles that need cooling should be designated.
(6) Organization of fire fighting brigades and the assignment of special duties according to job titles so that all fire fighting functions are covered by any complete shift personnel complement. These duties include command control of the brigade, transporting fire suppression and support equipment to the fire scenes, applying the suppressant to the fire, communication with the control room, and coordination with outside fire departments.
(7) Potential radiological and toxic hazards in fire zones.
(8) Ventilation system operation that ensures desired plant air distribution when the ventilation flow is modified for fire containment or smoke clearing operation.
(9) Operations requiring control room and shift engineer coordination or authorization.
(10) Instructions for plant operators and general plant personnel during fire.
SPONSE C.2.
ministrative control procedures exist for Millstone Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2.
28/18 B-11 Rev. 31
.d and e part of the work control process, Millstone Station uses a permit system in concert with ntenance requests/work orders. All maintenance requests/work orders are reviewed and roved by responsible foremen, supervisors, or designees, which have received indoctrination ire protection/prevention during plant staff training. The Site Fire Marshal reviews and cesses ignition source and combustible and flammable material permits, as needed, to support ntenance and work activities.
.o.
egards to fire fighting procedures as outlined in Section C.2, Millstone Station believes that development of specific fire fighting procedures is not realistic because various combinations ire situations could develop and specific procedures would actually restrict fire fighting by ucing flexibility.
fighting strategies for safety-related areas are presented to the fire brigade members during classroom portion of the Fire Brigade Training Program. This includes an active discussion ween fire brigade leaders, fire brigade members, and classroom instructor on the best possible roaches and methods for fighting various types of fires in specific safety-related areas.
. FIRE BRIGADE SITION C.3.
The need for good organization, training, and equipping of fire brigades at nuclear power plant sites requires that effective measures be implemented to ensure proper discharge of these functions. The guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.101, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants, should be followed as applicable.
A site fire brigade trained and equipped for fire fighting should be established to ensure adequate manual fire fighting capability for all areas of the plant containing structures, systems, or components important to safety. The fire brigade should be at least five members on each shift. The brigade leader and at least two brigade members should have sufficient training in or knowledge of plant safety-related systems to understand the effects of fire and fire suppressants on safe shutdown capability. The qualification of fire brigade members should include an annual physical examination to determine their ability to perform strenuous fire fighting activities. The shift supervisor should not be a member of the fire brigade. The brigade leader shall be competent to assess the potential safety consequences of a fire and advise control room personnel. Such competence by the brigade leader may be evidenced by possession of an operators license or equivalent knowledge of plant safety-related systems.
28/18 B-12 Rev. 31
equipment, portable lights, portable ventilation equipment, and portable extinguishers.
Self-contained breathing apparatus using full-face positive-pressure masks approved by NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health - approval formerly given by the U.S. Bureau of Mines) should be provided for fire brigade, damage control, and control room personnel. At least 10 masks shall be available for fire brigade personnel.

.c. Alternative or Dedicated Shutdown Capability SITION C.5.c.
Alternative or dedicated shutdown capability provided for a specific fire area should be able to achieve and maintain subcritical reactivity conditions in the reactor, maintain reactor coolant inventory, achieve and maintain hot standby* conditions for a PWR (hot shutdown* for a BWR) and achieve cold shutdown* conditions within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> and maintain cold shutdown conditions thereafter. During the postfire shutdown, the reactor coolant system process variables is maintained within those predicted for a loss of normal AC power, and the fission product boundary integrity is not affected; i.e., there is no fuel clad damage, rupture, or any primary coolant boundary, or rupture of the containment boundary.
fined in the Standard Technical Specifications The performance goals for the shutdown functions should be:
(a) The reactivity control function should be capable of achieving and maintaining cold shutdown reactivity conditions.
(b) The reactor coolant makeup function should be capable of maintaining the reactor coolant level above the top of the core for BWRs and be within the level indication in the pressurizer for PWRs.
(c) The reactor heat removal function should be capable of achieving and maintaining decay heat removal.
28/18 B-28 Rev. 31
(e) The supporting functions should be capable of providing the process cooling, lubrication, etc., necessary to permit the operation of the equipment used for safe shutdown functions.
The shutdown capability for specific fire areas may be unique for each such area, or it may be one unique combination of systems for all such areas. In either case, the alternative shutdown capability shall be independent of the specific fire area(s) and shall accommodate postfire conditions where off site power is available and where off site power is not available for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Procedures shall be in effect to implement this capability.
If the capability to achieve and maintain cold shutdown will not be available because of fire damage, the equipment and systems comprising the means to achieve and maintain the hot standby or hot shutdown condition shall be capable of maintaining such conditions until cold shutdown can be achieved. If such equipment and systems will not be capable of being powered by both on site and off site electric power systems because of fire damage, an independent on site power system shall be provided. The number of operating shift personnel, exclusive of fire brigade members, required to operate such equipment and systems shall be on site at all times.
Equipment and systems comprising the means to achieve and maintain cold shutdown conditions should not be damaged by fire; or the fire damage to such equipment and systems should be limited so that the systems can be made operable and cold shutdown achieved within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. Materials for such repairs shall be readily available on site and procedures shall be in effect to implement such repairs. If such equipment and systems used prior to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after the fire will not be capable of being powered by both on site and off site electric power systems because of fire damage, an independent on site power system should be provided. Equipment and systems used after 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> may be powered by off site power only.
Shutdown systems installed to ensure postfire shutdown capability need not be designed to meet seismic Category I criteria, single failure criteria, or other design basis accident criteria, except where required for other reasons, e.g., because of interface with or impact on existing safety systems, or because of adverse valve actions due to fire damage.
The safe shutdown equipment and systems for each fire area should be known to be isolated from associated circuits in the fire area so that hot shorts, open circuits, or shorts to ground in the associated circuits will not prevent operation of the safe shutdown equipment. The separation and barriers between trays and conduits containing associated circuits of one safe shutdown division and trays and conduits containing associated circuits or safe shutdown cables from the redundant division, or the isolation of these associated circuits from the safe shutdown equipment, should be such that a postulated fire involving associated circuits will not prevent safe shutdown.

part of the Stretch Power Uprate (SPU) project, a deviation to positions C.5.c(3) and (5) was roved by the NRC in a letter dated August 12, 2008 (Amendment No. 242), for the fire tdown and long term steam generator makeup required to support the decay heat removal gn function. In lieu of service water system (seawater) providing the long-term AFW pump ion source, an alternate defense-in-depth fire protection design approach which relied upon hwater makeup sources was approved. The design approach considered multiple mineralized Water Storage Tank (DWST) or Condensate Storage Tank (CST) longer-term enishment options that included refill from the water treating system (WTS), fire water em (FPW), and the domestic water system (DWS).

.d. Control of Combustibles SITION C.5.d.(1) ety-related systems should be isolated or separated from combustible materials. When this is possible because of the nature of the safety system or the combustible material, special ection should be provided to prevent a fire from defeating the safety system function. Such ection may involve a combination of automatic fire suppression, and construction capable of hstanding and containing a fire that consumes all combustibles present. Examples of such bustible materials that may not be separable from the remainder of its system are:
Emergency diesel generator fuel oil day tanks.
Turbine-generator oil and hydraulic control fluid systems.
Reactor coolant pump lube oil system.
SPONSE C.5.d.(1)
Emergency diesel generator fuel-oil day tanks are protected by a manually operated, wet type sprinkler system. Heat detection is used for early warning fire detection. The tank is of ASME III, Class 3 construction.
28/18 B-30 Rev. 31
Reactor coolant pump lube oil systems are provided with a seismic oil collection system.
Heat detection is provided for alarm and annunciation.
SITION C.5.d.(2) k gas storage (either compressed or cryogenic) should not be permitted inside structures sing safety-related equipment. Storage of flammable gas such as hydrogen should be located doors or in separate detached buildings so that a fire or explosion will not adversely affect any ty-related systems or equipment. (Refer to NFPA 50A, Gaseous Hydrogen Systems.) Care uld be taken to locate high pressure gas storage containers with the long axis parallel to ding walls. This will minimize the possibility of wall penetration in the event of a container ure. Use of compressed gases (especially flammable and fuel gases) inside buildings should be trolled. (Refer to NFPA 6, Industrial Fire Loss Prevention.)
SPONSE C.5.d.(2) ept for the hydrogen seal oil unit in the turbine building, all flammable gas storage is outside vital buildings. The hydrogen seal oil unit is protected by a water spray system.
bulk hydrogen storage for the generator coolant system is located outside, south of the tainment structure.
SITION C.5.d.(3) use of plastic materials should be minimized. In particular, halogenated plastics such as yvinyl chloride (PVC) and neoprene should be used only when substitute noncombustible erials are not available. All plastic materials, including flame and fire retardant materials, will n with an intensity and Btu production in a range similar to that of ordinary hydrocarbons.
en burning, they produce heavy smoke that obscures visibility and can plug air filters, ecially charcoal and HEPA. The halogenated plastics also release free chlorine and hydrogen ride when burning which are toxic to humans and corrosive to equipment.
SPONSE C.5.d.(3) use of halogenated plastics is minimized. Plastic reinforced fiberglass roof drain pipe is alled through many areas of the plant. A fire retardant coating will be applied to the pipe to uce the burning characteristics to an acceptable level. A deviation request has been submitted transmitted to the NRC (J. F. Opeka to B. J. Youngblood, Letter B11658, dated August 16, 5 - Docket No. 50-423) regarding separation of pumps within the ESF Building due to a 12 diameter fiberglass reinforced pipe which passes through the 3-hour fire barriers separating pumps and associated. A closed head water curtain with directional spray heads is provided to ntain separation by protecting the fiberglass pipe. A deviation request has been submitted and smitted to the NRC (J. F.

Automatic area protection, where provided, uld consider cable tray arrangements and possible transient combustibles to ensure adequate er coverage for areas that could present an exposure hazard to the cable system. Manual hose dpipe systems may be relied upon to provide the primary fire suppression (in lieu of matic water suppression systems) for safety-related cable trays of a single division that are arated from redundant safety divisions by a fire barrier with a minimum rating of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> and normally accessible for manual firefighting if all of the following conditions are met:
The number of equivalent* standard 24-inch-wide cable trays (both safety-related and non safety-related) in a given fire area is six or less; The cabling does not provide instrumentation, control or power to systems required to achieve and maintain hot shutdown; and Smoke detectors are provided in the area of these cable routings, and continuous line-type heat detectors are provided in the cable trays.
ety-related cable trays that are not accessible for manual fire fighting should be protected by a ed automatic water system with open-head deluge or open directional spray nozzles arranged hat adequate water coverage is provided for each cable tray. Such cable trays should also be ected from the effects of a potential exposure fire by providing automatic water suppression in area where such a fire could occur.
ther areas where it may not be possible because of other overriding design features necessary reasons of nuclear safety to separate redundant safety-related cable systems by 3-hour-rated barriers, cable trays should be protected by an automatic water system with open-head deluge pen directional spray nozzles arranged so that adequate water coverage is provided for each le tray. Such cable trays should also be protected from the effects of a potential exposure fire roviding automatic water suppression in the area where such could occur. The capability to ieve and maintain safe shutdown considering the effects of a fire involving fixed and potential sient combustibles should be evaluated with and without actuation of the automatic pression system and should be justified on a suitably defined basis.

28/18 B-34 Rev. 31
SITION C.5.f.
The products of combustion and the means by which they will be removed from each fire area should be established during the initial stages of plant design. Consideration should be given to the installation of automatic suppression systems as a means of limiting smoke and end heat generation. Smoke and corrosive gases should generally be discharged directly outside to an area that will not affect safety-related plant areas. The normal plant ventilation system may be used for this purpose if capable and available. To facilitate manual firefighting, separate smoke and heat vents should be provided in specific areas such as cable spreading rooms, diesel fuel oil storage areas, switchgear rooms, and other areas where the potential exists for heavy smoke conditions (see NFPA 204 for additional guidance on smoke control).
Release of smoke and gases containing radioactive materials to the environment should be monitored in accordance with emergency plans as described in the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.101, Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants. Any ventilation system designed to exhaust potentially radioactive smoke or gases should be evaluated to ensure that inadvertent operation or single failures will not violate the radiologically controlled areas of the plant design. This requirement includes containment functions for protecting the public and maintaining habitability for operations personnel.
Special protection for ventilation power and control cables may be required. The power supply and controls for mechanical ventilation systems should be run outside the fire area served by the system where practical.
Engineered safety feature filters should be protected in accordance with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.52. Any filter that includes combustible materials and is a potential exposure fire hazard that may affect safety-related components should be protected as determined by the fire hazards analysis.
The fresh air supply intakes to areas containing safety-related equipment or systems should be located remote from the exhaust air outlets and smoke vents of other fire areas to minimize the possibility of contaminating the intake air with the products of combustion.
Stairwells should be designed to minimize smoke infiltration during a fire.
Where total flooding gas extinguishing systems are used, area intake and exhaust ventilation dampers should be controlled in accordance with NFPA 12, Carbon Dioxide Systems, and NFPA 12A, Halon 1301 Systems, to maintain the necessary gas concentration.

cifically to exhaust smoke, other products of combustion or fire suppression gases using ual controls. Portable ventilation equipment is available within the cable spreading area for ke and CO2 removal. The control room will be purged manually by portable fans. Normal t ventilation systems will be used in other areas of the plant for this purpose. Portable smoke tors will be provided to assist in removal of the products of combustion should the normal tilation systems be unavailable because of damper closures or other failures.
ere total flooding gas extinguishing systems are used, air intake and exhaust ventilation pers are provided with mechanisms that will close them on initiation of gas flow (as needed).
barrier ventilation openings are provided with fire dampers that will close if a fire should se room temperature to exceed a set value.
sh air supply intakes to areas containing safety-related equipment or systems are remote from aust air outlets of other fire areas. Stairwells are designed to minimize smoke infiltration ng a fire.
rwell and elevator shafts, excluding the turbine building and containment, have been fire rated two hours, with Class B fire rated doors in compliance with NEPIA Specification for Basic Protection for Nuclear Power Plants, NEPIA File No. 124B, 1974. Escape and access routes be established and indicated accordingly.
.g. Lighting and Communication SITION C.5.g hting and two-way voice communication are vital to safe shutdown and emergency response he event of fire. Suitable fixed and portable emergency lighting and communication device uld be provided as follows:
Fixed self-contained lighting consisting of fluorescent or sealed-beam units with individual eight hour minimum battery power supplies should be provided in areas that must be manned for safe shutdown and for access and egress routes to and from all fire areas. Safe shutdown areas include those required to be manned if the control room must be evacuated.
Suitable sealed-beam battery-powered portable hand lights should be provided for emergency use by the fire brigade and other operations personnel required to achieve safe plant shutdown.
Fixed emergency communications independent of the normal plant communication system should be installed at preselected stations.
A portable radio communications system should be provided for use by the fire brigade and other operations personnel required to achieve safe plant shutdown. This system 28/18 B-36 Rev. 31
protected from exposure fire damage. Preoperational and periodic testing should demonstrate that the frequencies used for portable radio communication will not affect the actuation of protective relays.
SPONSE C.5.g.
ergency lighting will be installed in all areas of the plant that may have to be manned for safe tdown operations and in access and egress routes to and from all areas. The emergency ting consists of fixed, self-contained fluorescent or sealed-beam units with individual 8-hour imum battery power supplies. The emergency lighting system provides illumination of the ess and egress pathways. In addition, this lighting is supplemented with the Millstone Station urity Lighting for outdoor access/egress routes, and access to the Appendix R equipment cage arehouse Building number 435.
lighting with 8-hour self-contained sealed battery packs are also installed inside the MP3 O (AAC) diesel and switchgear enclosures for access/egress and operation of equipment from control board. The MP3 SBO diesel generator is credited to supply MP2 with alternate AC er in the event of a fire in specifically identified Unit 2 Appendix R fire areas.
security lighting system is also credited for MP3 operations personnel access/egress yard area es to the MP3 SBO (AAC) diesel and switchgear enclosures. Access is required to start the el and energize the 4160 volt tie to MP2 in the event of a MP2 Appendix R fire in certain s.

A portable radio communications system has been vided for use by the fire brigade. Fixed repeaters have been installed for portable radio munication. If a fire should damage the Millstone 3 fixed repeater station, the plants portable os have been equipped with multiband frequency capability. This multiband frequency ability will allow plant personnel to continue communications using the base station as backup munication center or the capability to change frequency bands and operate through either cent plants fixed repeater system.
. FIRE DETECTION AND SUPPRESSION
.a. Fire Detection SITION C.6.a.
Detection systems should be provided for all areas that contain or present a fire exposure to safety-related equipment.
Fire detection systems should comply with the requirements of Class A systems as defined in NFPA 72D, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance, and Use of Proprietary 28/18 B-37 Rev. 31
Fire detectors should be selected and installed in accordance with NFPA 72E, Automatic Fire Detectors. Preoperational and periodic testing of pulsed line-type heat detectors should demonstrate that the frequencies used will not affect the actuation of protective relays in other plant systems.
Fire detection systems should give audible and visual alarm and annunciation in the control room. Where zoned detection systems are used in a given fire area, local means should be provided to identify which detector zone has actuated. Local audible alarms should sound in the fire area.
Fire alarms should be distinctive and unique so they will not be confused with any other plant system alarms.
Primary and secondary power supplies should be provided for the fire detection system and for electrically operated control valves for automatic suppression systems. Such primary and secondary power supplies should satisfy provisions of Section 2220 of NFPA 72D. This can be accomplished by using normal off site power as the primary supply with a four hour battery supply as secondary supply; and by providing capability for manual connection to the Class 1E emergency power bus within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of loss of off site power.
Such connection should follow the applicable guidelines in Regulatory Guides 1.6, 1.32, and 1.75.
SPONSE C.6.a.
fire detection and alarm systems installed in all areas of the plant have been designed in ordance with the intent of NFPA 72D, Standard for the Installation, Maintenance and Use of prietary Protective Signaling Systems. The initiating circuits of the fire alarm systems in the t utilize a Class A circuit with the exception of Warehouse No. 5/condensate polishing facility F), and the MP3 Fire Pump House.
lass A circuit uses a 4-wire loop design which will allow the transmission of an alarm signal ng a single break or a single ground fault of the circuit.
ehouse No. 5/CPF and Fire Pump House have a Class B circuit design. This design rporates a 2-wire loop and will not allow the transmission of an alarm during a single break t of the circuit. Warehouse No. 5/CPF does not contain any safe shutdown components ipment, and is separated from safe shutdown areas by three hour fire barriers. The MP3 Fire p House contains equipment credited for MP2 Appendix R requirements.
signaling circuits between the zone panels and the main fire protection board meet the intent Class A circuit by using two sets of 2-wire communication lines between them. This system will allow the transmission of an alarm signal during a single break or ground fault in the 28/18 B-38 Rev. 31
detectors transmit alarms to a local alarm panel which sounds distinct audible alarms while laying a visual signal in the vicinity of the panel, generally overhead. All alarm and trouble als transmit to the main fire alarm console in the control room.
detection zone panels operate with 24 V DC battery backup power. The main fire alarm panel owered by a reliable electrical supply and has an independent standby battery supply. These trical power supply arrangements meet the intent of the provisions of Section 2220 of NFPA eviation request has been submitted and transmitted to the NRC (W. G. Counsil to B. J.
ngblood, Letter B11658, dated August 16, 1985 - Docket No. 50-423) regarding no fire ction provided in Fire Area MSV-1. A subsequent deviation request has been submitted and smitted to the NRC (J. F. Opeka to B. J. Youngblood, Letter B11852, dated November 4, 1985 ocket No. 50-423) in regards to NNECO redefining its design criteria and providing detection ire Area MSV-1 as well as the Hydrogen Recombiner Building and the Auxiliary Building.
.b. Fire Protection Water Supply Systems SITION C.6.b.
An underground yard fire main loop should be installed to furnish anticipated water requirements. NFPA 24, Standard for Outside Protection, gives necessary guidance for such installation. It references other design codes and standards developed by such organizations as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA). Type of pipe and water treatment should be design considerations with tuberculation as one of the parameters. Means for inspecting and flushing the systems should be provided.
Approved visually indicating sectional control valves such as post-indicator valves should be provided to isolate portions of the main for maintenance or repair without shutting off the supply to primary and backup fire suppression systems serving areas that contain or expose safety-related equipment.
Valves should be installed to permit isolation of outside hydrants from the fire main for maintenance or repair without interrupting the water supply to automatic or manual fire suppression systems in any area containing or presenting a fire hazard to safety-related or safe shutdown equipment.
The fire main system piping should be separate from service or sanitary water system piping, except as described in Position C.5.c.(4).
A common yard fire main loop may serve multi-unit nuclear power plant sites if cross-connected between units. Sectional control valves should permit maintaining 28/18 B-39 Rev. 31
(approaching 1 mile or more), separate yard fire main loops should be used.
If pumps are required to meet system pressure or flow requirements, a sufficient number of pumps should be provided to ensure that 100 percent capacity will be available assuming failure of the largest pump or loss of off site power (e.g., three 50 percent pumps or two 100 percent pumps). This can be accomplished, for example, by providing either:
(a) Electric motor-driven fire pump(s) and diesel-driven fire pump(s); or (b) Two or more seismic Category I Class 1E electric motor-driven fire pumps connected to redundant Class 1E emergency power buses (see Regulatory Guides 1.6, 1.32, and 1.75).
Individual fire pump connections to the yard fire main loop should be separated with sectionalizing valves between connections. Each pump and its driver and controls should be located in a room separated from the remaining fire pumps by a fire wall with a minimum rating of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. The fuel for the diesel fire pump(s) should be separated so that it does not provide a fire source exposing safety-related equipment. Alarms indicating pump running, driver availability, failure to start, and low fire-main pressure should be provided in the control room.
The fire pump installation should conform to NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Centrifugal Fire Pumps.
Outside manual hose installation should be sufficient to provide an effective hose stream to any on site location where fixed or transient combustibles could jeopardize safety-related equipment. Hydrants should be installed approximately every 250 ft. on the yard main system. A hose house equipped with hose and combination nozzle and other auxiliary equipment recommended in NFPA 24, Outside Protection, should be provided as needed, but at least every 1,000 ft. Alternatively, mobile means of providing hose and associated equipment, such as hose carts or trucks, may be used. When provided, such mobile equipment should be equivalent to the equipment supplied by three hose houses.
Threads compatible with those used by local fire departments should be provided on all hydrants, hose couplings, and standpipe risers.
Two separate, reliable freshwater supplies should be provided. Saltwater or brackish water should not be used unless all freshwater supplies have been exhausted. If tanks are used, two 100 percent (minimum of 300,000 gallons each) system capacity tanks should be installed. They should be so interconnected that pumps can take suction from either or both. However, a failure in one tank or its piping should not cause both tanks to drain.
Water supply capacity should be capable of refilling either tank in 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or less.
Common tanks are permitted for fire and sanitary or service water storage. When this is done, however, minimum fire water storage requirements should be dedicated by passive 28/18 B-40 Rev. 31
ensure minimum water volume.
The fire water supply should be calculated on the basis of the largest expected flow rate for a period of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, but not less than 300,000 gallons. This flow rate should be based (conservatively) on 500 gpm for manual hose streams plus the largest design demand of any sprinkler or deluge system as determined in accordance with NFPA 13 or NFPA 15.
The fire water supply should be capable of delivering this design demand over the longest route of the water supply system.
Freshwater lakes or ponds of sufficient size may qualify as sole source of water for fire protection but require separate redundant suctions in one or more intake structures. These supplies should be separated so that a failure of one supply will not result in a failure of the other supply.
When a common water supply is permitted for fire protection and the ultimate heat sink, the following conditions should also be satisfied:
(a) The additional fire protection water requirements are designed into the total storage capacity, and (b) Failure of the fire protection system should not degrade the function of the ultimate heat sink.
Other water systems that may be used as one of the two fire water supplies should be permanently connected to the fire main system and should be capable of automatic alignment to the fire main system. Pumps, controls, and power supplies in these systems should satisfy the requirements for the main fire pumps. The use of other water systems for fire protection should not be incompatible with their functions required for safe plant shutdown. Failure of the other system should not degrade the fire main system.
SPONSE C.6.b.
Millstone 3 water supply system is provided from the existing fire protection water supply em for Units 1 and 2. This supply system, as designed, is in compliance with the requirements his position with the exception of the 300,000-gallon minimum tank size.

.c. Water Sprinkler and Hose Standpipe Systems SITION C.6.c.(1) inkler systems and manual hose station standpipes should have connections to the plant erground water main so that a single active failure or a crack in a moderate-energy line cannot air both the primary and backup fire suppression systems. Alternatively, headers fed from h end are permitted inside buildings to supply both sprinkler and standpipe systems, provided l piping and fittings meeting the requirements of ANSI B31.1, Power Piping, are used for headers up to and including the first valve supplying the sprinkler systems where such headers part of the seismically analyzed hose standpipe system. When provided, such headers are sidered an extension of the yard main system. Each sprinkler and standpipe system should be ipped with OS&Y (outside screw and yoke) gate valve or other approved shutoff valve and erflow alarm. Safety-related equipment that does not itself require sprinkler water fire ection but is subject to unacceptable damage if wet by sprinkler water discharge should be ected by water shields or baffles.
SPONSE C.6.c.(1) sprinkler and hose station standpipe systems have independent yard fire main connections ept for the emergency generator enclosure, the auxiliary building standpipe/water curtain em, the machine shop and service building, the containment structure, the waste disposal ding, engineered safeguards building standpipe, and the auxiliary boiler building.

least 4 inches in diameter for multiple hose connections and 2.5 inches in diameter for single hose connections. These systems should follow the requirements of NFPA 14, Standpipe and Hose Systems, for sizing, spacing, and pipe support requirements.
Hose stations should be located as dictated by the fire hazard analysis to facilitate access and use for firefighting operations. Alternative hose stations should be provided for an area if the fire hazard could block access to a single hose station serving that area.
Provisions should be made to supply water at least to standpipes and hose connections for manual firefighting in areas containing equipment required for safe plant shutdown in the event of a safe shutdown earthquake. The piping system serving such hose stations should be analyzed for SSE loading and should be provided with supports to ensure system pressure integrity. The piping and valves for the portion of hose standpipe system affected by this functional requirement should, as a minimum, satisfy ANSI B31.1, Power Piping. The water supply for this condition may be obtained by manual operator actuation of valves in a connection to the hose standpipe header from a normal seismic Category I water system such as the essential service water system. The cross connection should be (a) capable of providing flow to at least two hose stations (approximately 75 gpm per hose station), and (b) designed to the same standards as the seismic Category I water system; it should not degrade the performance of the seismic Category I water system.
The proper type of hose nozzle to be supplied to each area should be based on the fire hazard analysis. The usual combination spray/straight-stream nozzle should not be used in areas where the straight-stream can cause unacceptable mechanical damage. Fixed fog nozzles should be provided at locations where high-voltage shock hazards exist. All hose nozzles should have shutoff capability. (Guidance on safe distances for water application to live electrical equipment may be found in the NFPA Fire Protection Handbook.)
Fire hose should be hydrostatically tested in accordance with the recommendations of NFPA 1962, Fire Hose - Care, Use, Maintenance. Hose stored in outside hose houses should be tested annually. Interior standpipe hose should be tested every three years.
Certain fires, such as those involving flammable liquids, respond well to foam suppression. Consideration should be given to use of mechanical low-expansion foam systems, low-expansion foam generators, or aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) systems, including the AFFF deluge system. These systems should comply with the requirements of NFPA 11, NFPA 11A, NFPA 11B, and NFPA 16, as applicable.
SPONSE C.6.c.(4), (5), (6) and (7) standpipe systems are provided as noted in each fire area in Section 5. The piping systems for dpipes are not seismically designed.

.d. Halon Suppression Systems SITION C.6.d.
on fire extinguishing systems should comply with the requirements of NFPA 12A and NFPA
, Halogenated Fire Extinguishing Agent Systems - Halon 1301 and Halon 1211. Only listed or FM-approved agents should be used. Provisions for locally disarming automatic on systems should be key locked and under strict administrative control. Automatic Halon nguishing systems should not be disarmed unless controls as described in Position C.2.j. are vided.
ddition to the guidelines of NFPA 12A and 12B, preventive maintenance and testing of the ems, including check-weighing of the Halon cylinders, should be done at least quarterly.
icular consideration should also be given to:
Minimum required Halon concentration, distribution, soak time, and ventilation control; Toxicity of Halon; 28/18 B-45 Rev. 31
Location and selection of the activating detectors.
SPONSE C.6.d.
lstone 3 has four Halon 1301 fire-suppression systems. These automatic operating, total flood gn systems are used in the computer room and instrument rack room underfloor areas, the rds file room of the warehouse, and Fire Pump House.
se systems, except for the Fire Pump House, were designed to NFPA 12A-1975 edition. Refer PER Section 4 for details of the installations. The Fire Pump House was designed earlier than 5, as it was originally the MP1 Fire Pump House. The Fire Pump House was evaluated to ply with NFPA 12A-1980 Ed.
systems are designed to provide a minimum 7 percent by room air volume concentration hin a 10 second discharge time.
h system, except for the Fire Pump House, is automatically actuated by the operation of a le rate-compensated type heat detector located in the protected area. Detectors were located in protected areas based on guidelines of NFPA 72E and NFPA 12A. The Fire Pump House is a s-zoned system consisting of a smoke detector and a rate of rise heat detector.
sting administrative control procedures will address the requirements for disarming of these ems, and existing station surveillance procedures will cover periodic system testing, ection, and maintenance.
icity of thermal decomposition products of Halon are not a concern since the underfloor areas inaccessible and personnel will be instructed to leave the above floor areas prior to discharge.
uld there be any corrosion to electrical components in the instrument rack room, as a result of omposed products of Halon, there will be no impact on safe shutdown since alternate tdown capacity exists in a separate fire area.
.e. Carbon Dioxide Suppression Systems SITION C.6.e.
bon dioxide extinguishing systems should comply with the requirements of NFPA 12, rbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems. Where automatic carbon dioxide systems are used, should be equipped with a predischarge alarm system and a discharge delay to permit onnel egress. Provisions for locally disarming automatic carbon dioxide systems should be locked and under strict administrative control. Automatic carbon dioxide extinguishing ems should not be disarmed unless controls as described in Position C.2.j. are provided.

SPONSE C.6.e.
al flooding CO2 systems have been designed to attain and maintain adequate CO2 centrations as required by the nature of the specific hazard based on NFPA No. 12 guidelines.
n actuation, the minimum design concentrations are obtained within 1 minute for surface fires within 7 minutes for deep-seated fires at a rate not less than that required to develop a centration of 34 percent in 1 minute for the fuel oil tank vaults and 30 percent in 2 minutes for ther total flooding areas. This discharge is considered the Initial Discharge. To maintain the red concentrations for a 20 minute soak time and compensate for normal agent leakage from area, an Extended Discharge system is used.
local application system in the auxiliary boiler building fuel oil pit has been designed based he rate by volume method. The duration was extended to allow for cooling of metal parts in pump pit area to prevent oil vapor re-ignition.
ll electrical cable hazard areas, the total flooding CO2 systems are manually actuated.
nual system actuation is accomplished by the actuation of both cross-zoned smoke detector ngs and opening of the predischarge timer lockout ball valve to initiate CO2 discharge. Both detection cross-zone signals together provide one of the two inputs necessary to discharge
- 2. The other input is provided by the opening of the predischarge timer lockout ball valve.
n actuation of the first cross zone, an alarm signal is transmitted to the local alarm panel and Control Room. Upon actuation of the second cross zone, an alarm signal is transmitted to the l alarm panel and to the Control Room, as well as generating an alarm condition within the l Chemetron panel. With both cross-zones in alarm or with the predischarge timer lockout valve open, a horn actuates within the affected area and a strobe light actuates outside each of access doors to the area. Upon discharge of CO2 in the protected area, ventilation damper ure and fan shutdown signals are initiated either from both zones in alarm in the Chemetron trol panel (cross zones in alarm and ball valve open) or CO2 discharge pressure, a local umatic air horn sounds in the area, and an odorizer is released indicating CO2 discharge.

ate transmission of a discharge alarm to the local Chemetron panel, building alarm panel, and main fire protection console in the Control Room, and will actuate predischarge alarms in the cted area. Following a time delay, CO2 discharge will then occur.
manual operating local application areas, as well as all other manual and automatic operating 2 suppression systems, are or can be actuated by manual key station devices located outside hazards areas or by the key switch at the Chemetron panel. Operation of the manual devices cause CO2 to discharge following a time delay when the lockout valve at the Chemetron el is in an open position. The key station actuation will immediately operate predischarge ms in the protected area and will initiate alarm signal transmission as described above. CO2 harge into the area sounds the local pneumatic discharge horns and initiates odorizer release.
eat CO2 discharges into any protected area can be accomplished by using the manual key ion for that area or the key switch at the Chemetron panel. This may be done without resetting control panel and may continue for as many cycles as there is available CO2 storage.
avoid the concern of thermal shock, all CO2 discharge nozzles have been positioned, where sible, to limit the effects of direct impingement of CO2 on sensitive electrical equipment.
ckout of both automatic and manual discharge into any protected area is accomplished by rating a ball valve located at the Chemetron control panel. Only by manually repositioning this e to the open position can CO2 discharge. During lockout, all detection systems continue to ction and transmit alarm signals. When an automatic system is in the locked-out mode, a ble signal is actuated at the Chemetron panel, the building alarm panel, and at the main fire ection console and color-graphics computer unit in the Control Room to provide continuous fication that the automatic CO2 system for the affected area is locked out. For a manual em, a trouble-signal is actuated at the Chemetron panel, the building alarm panel, and at the n fire protection console and color-graphics computer unit when the lockout ball valve is in t fully closed position, alerting the Control Room of the misaligned valve position. The rming of automatic CO2 systems will be regulated by an existing administrative control cedure. Relief venting for each CO2 protected area has been provided, as needed, in order to vent over-pressurization of the area in accordance with NFPA 12 guidelines.
.f. Portable Extinguishers SITION C.6.f.
extinguishers should be provided in areas that contain, or could present a fire exposure ard to, safety-related equipment in accordance with guidelines of NFPA 10, Portable Fire inguishers, Installation, Maintenance and Use. Dry chemical extinguishers should be alled with due consideration given to possible adverse effects on safety-related equipment alled in the area.
28/18 B-48 Rev. 31
areas of the plant will be provided with portable extinguishers in accordance with guidelines FPA 10 with the exception of inside containment. A deviation request to provide nguishers inside containment was discussed with the NRC staff in December 1984. A iation request has been submitted and transmitted to the NRC (W. G. Counsil to B. J.

. GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFIC PLANT AREAS
.a. Primary and Secondary Containment SITION C.7.a.
Normal Operation - Fire protection requirements for the primary and secondary containment areas should be provided for hazards identified by the fire hazards analysis.
Examples of such hazards include lubricating oil or hydraulic fluid system for the primary coolant pumps, cable tray arrangements and cable penetrations, and charcoal filters.
Because of the general inaccessibility of primary containment during normal plant operation, protection should be provided by automatic fixed systems. The effects of postulated fires within the primary containment should be evaluated to ensure that the integrity of the primary coolant system and the containment is not jeopardized assuming no action is taken to fight the fire.
(a) Operation of the fire protection systems should not compromise the integrity of the containment or other safety-related systems. Fire protection activities in the containment areas should function in conjunction with total containment requirements such as ventilation and control of contaminated liquid and gaseous release.
(b) Inside noninerted containment one of the fire protection means stated in Positions C.5.b.1 and C.5.b.2 or the following fire protection means should be provided:
separation of cables and equipment and associated non safety circuits of redundant trains by a noncombustible radiant energy shield having a minimum fire rating of one-half hour.
(c) In primary containment, fire detection systems should be provided for each fire hazard. The type of detection used and the location or the detectors should be the most suitable for the particular type of fire hazard identified by the fire hazard analysis.
A general area fire detection capability should be provided in the primary containment as backup for the above described hazard detection. To accomplish 28/18 B-49 Rev. 31
(d) Standpipe and hose stations should be inside PWR containments and BWR containments that are not inerted. Standpipe and hose stations inside containment may be connected to a high quality water supply of sufficient quantity and pressure other than the fire main loop if plant-specific features prevent extending the fire main supply inside containment. For BWR drywells, standpipe and hose stations should be placed outside the drywell with adequate lengths of hose, no longer than 100 ft., to reach any location inside the drywell with an effective hose stream.
The containment penetration of the standpipe system should meet the isolation requirements of General Design Criterion 56 and should be seismic Category I and Quality Group B.
(e) The reactor coolant pumps should be equipped with an oil collection system if the containment is not inerted during normal operation. The oil collection system should be so designed, engineered, and installed that failure will not lead to fire during normal or design basis accident conditions and that there is reasonable assurance that the system will withstand the safe shutdown earthquake.
Such collection systems should be capable of collecting lube oil from all potential pressurized and unpressurized leakage sites in the reactor coolant pump lube oil systems. Leakage should be collected and drained to a vented closed container that can hold the entire lube oil system inventory. A flame arrester in the vent if the flash point characteristics of the oil present the hazard of fire flashback. Leakage points to be protected should include lift pump and piping overflow lines, lube oil cooler, oil fill and drain lines and plugs, flanged connections on oil lines, and lube oil reservoirs where such features exist on the reactor coolant pumps. The drain line should be large enough to accommodate the largest potential oil leak.
(f) For secondary containment areas, cable fire hazards that could affect safety should be protected as described in Position C.5.e.(2). The type of detection system for other fire hazards identified by the fire hazards analysis should be the most suitable for the particular type of fire hazard.
Refueling and Maintenance - Refueling and maintenance operations in containment may introduce additional hazards such as contamination control materials, decontamination supplies, wood planking, temporary wiring, welding, and flame cutting (with portable compressed gas fuel supply). Possible fires would not necessarily be in the vicinity of fixed detection and suppression systems. Management procedures and controls necessary to ensure adequate fire protection for transient fire loads are discussed in Position C.1.
