Specification

a. Fire Detec; ion Instrumentation

1. A: least the minimum required number of fire detection instruments in Table TS 3.15-1 shall be demonstrated OPERABLE semi-annually by performance of a CIIANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. Those detectors that are of the fusible link type shall be verified operabic by visual inspection.

2. Deleted 40

b. Fire k'ater System The fire water system shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:

1. Each purp shall be tested conthly in accordance with Table TS 4.1-3.

2. At least once per 12 months by verifying that each valve (manual, power operated or automatic) in the flow path is in its correct position, and by cycling each testable valve in the flow path through at least one complete cycle of full travel.

3. At least once per 12 months by performance of a system flush.

4. At least once per 18 conths by performing a system functional test which includes simulated automatic actuation of the system throughout its operating sequence, and:

a) Verifying that each pu:.p develops at least 3800 y,pm at a system head of 310 feet, b) Cycling each valve in the flow path that is not testable during plant operation through at least one complete cycle of full travel, and i210 27e3 TS 4.15-1 Proposed Amendment No . 4 0 10/19/79

c) Verifying that each high pressure pump auto-start setpoint is 25

> 100 psig.

5. Deleted 40

c. Spray / Sprinkler Systems Each of the spray and/or sprinkler systems in Specification 3.15.c shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:

1. J.t least once per 12 months by cycling each testable valve in the flow path through at least one complete cycle of full travel.

2. At least once per 18 months:

a) By performing a system functional test which includes simulated

~

automatic actuation of the system, and:

1. Verifying that the automatic valves in the flow path actuate to their correct positions, and

2. Cycling each valve in the flow path that is not testable during plant operation through at least one complete cycle of full travel, b) By visual inspection of the spray headers to verify their integrity, and c) By visual inspection of each nozzle to verify no blockage.

3. At least once per three years by performing an air flow tect through each open head spray / sprinkler header and verifying cach open head spray /sp.inkler nozzle is unobstructed.

1. At least .ce per 18 months, and

2. Prior to declaring a penetration fire barrier functional following repairs or maintenance.

BASES Fire Detection Instrumentation Failure of a fire detection instrument results in an alara to the control room Control Panel and local panels and, thus, an annual functional test is adequate to detect otherwise failed detector.

40 Fire Water System Both pumps in the system shall be individually tested monthly.

f. Refueling operations shall be directed by a licensed Senior Reactor Operator assigned to the refueling operation who has no other concurrent responsibilities during the refueling operacion.

8- A five man fire response team, consisting of 3 Fire Brigade members and 2 Assistant Fire Brigade personnel, shall be maintained. If a member of the fire response team becomes *ncapacitated due to ill- 40 ness or injury this requirement is deemed satisfied if a replace-ment arrives within two hours in all but the severest weather. ,

6.3 PLANT STAFF QUALIFICATIONS 6.3.1 Qualifications of each member of the Plant Staff shall meet or exceed the minimum acceptable levels of ANSI-N18.1-1971 for comparable positions.
