Subject:

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-333 Additional Responses to the Draft Safety Evaluation Report (SER) Relating to Fire Protection Program

Dear Sir:

By letter dated May 23, 1979 you requested the Authority to supplement our responses of May 7, 1979 (JPN-79-25) and March 7, 1979 (JPN-79-12).

Our responses are as follows:

SER Paragraph 3.1.1: Interior Hose Stations This has been implemented.

SER Paragraph 3.1.4: Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus The air bottles and breathing air compressor are all on plant site. After determining a proper location, these will be installed by December 1979.

SER Paragraph 3.1.5: Administrative Controls The existing fire protection administrative programs will be amended and implemer.ted by January 1980.

SER Paragraph 3.1.6: Emergency Lighting The modifications to the emergency lighting system serving the access and egress routes to the cable spreading room entrance, relay room entrance, east cable tunnel entrance and escape hatch, and the west cable tunnel entrance will be completed by January 1980.

SER Paragraph 3.1.10: Exterior Hydrant Hose Houses The exterior hose houses have been mounted on concrete pedestals with doors adjusted to provide sufficient ground clearance. The damaged doors on exterior hose houses have been repaired.

Administrative Control procedures, to provide a semi-annual inspection of exterior hydrants and monthly inspection of the equipment stored in the exterior hose houses, will be established by October 1979.

SER Paragraph 3.1.11: Post-Indicato 7alve Wrenches Valve operating wrenches for poco indicator valves in the yard loop have been provided and properly stored.

SER Paragraph 3.1.14: Control of Combustibles Exterior areas have been adequately posted to prohibit the storage of flammabie and combustible materials in the yard areas adjacent to safety-related structures. Therefore, no administrative control procedures need to be established.

A one hour fire rated barrier will be installed between the kitchen and the remainder of the control room by December 1979.

Wood cabinets in the kitchen area have been replaced with cabinets of non-combustible (metallic) materials. Similarly, wood book cases have been removed from the control room and metallic filing cabinets for papers, logs, operating manuals, etc., have been provided in the control room complex.

The turbine oil system valves and other piping system valves that could allow drainage of combustible fluids if improperly positioned have been locked in their proper positions and are checked monthly.

SER Paragrach 3.2.4: Diesel Fire Pump Room Sprinkler Head Spacing In response to your specific concarn as stated in your letter of May 23, 1979, the entire system design will ba verified in accordance with NFPA-13, by August 1979. If modification is required the proposed modification will be completed by September 1979 and any required installation will be completed by June 1980.

SER Paragraph 3.3.1: Detector Testing The verification by analysis or tests to assure, that proper consideration has been given to such factors as ceiling height, ventilation rate and air velocity, location and arragement of combustibles, etc., in determining the type, number and location

) e v,

s

of fire detectors for existing and proposed detector systems, will be completed by December 1979. Any modification if required as a result of this program will be completed by October 1980.

SER Paragraph 3.3.16: Flame Retardant Coating With respect to your request, by letter dated May 23, 1979, the entire fire test documentation for cabling installed in the Fit: Patrick plant consists of several hundred pages. As agreed with your Mr. P. Polk, one copy of this documentation will be forwarded to you by August 1979.

For you. convenience, a revised Table 3.1 is attached.

We trust that with this letter all outstanding issues on the Fire Protection Program and the SER are resolved.

Very truly yours,
