SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 1 INADEQUATE FIRE BARRIERS DEVIATION ITEM 50-327/80-17-01 Deviation TVA's response to NRC question No. 1 on the Fire Protection Program 4

Reevaluation (FPPR) states that the redundant circuits for the steam generator pressure instrumentation were inadequately separated. Table 1.J in the'FPPR states that these circuits will be wrapped in a 1-inch "Knowool" insulation from the containment penetration at elevation 734 to the Q-line wall penetration at elevation 714 to provide a 1/2-hour fire rated barrier between circuita. The construction completion date 4

stated for this item was October 5, 1979.

l Contrary to the'above, the installation of the fire rated insulation barrier was incomplete on May 15, 1980, due to the following:

1.

Approximately four feet on all seven conduits adjacent to column line AS/X at elevation 714 were not adequately insulated.

2.

Several short lengths of conduit adjacent to column line A4/W were 1

not adequately insulated.

3.

The conduit fittings and connecting conduit pipe adjacent to column line A4/U at elevation 714 were not insulated. Also, cover plates were not installed on three conduit fittings resulting in inadequate.

protection for the wiring within the conduit.

It is possible that other portions of these conduits may be inadequately or improperly insulated.

4 Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved The discrepancies are addressed below.

1.

The required insulation has been installed for approximately four feet on-all seven conduits located adjacent to column line A5/X on elevation 714.

2.

Insulation has been installed on the several short lengths of conduit adjacent to column line A4/W.

3.

The cover plates have been reinstalled on three noted conduit 4

fittings and connecting conduit adjacent to column A4/W on l;

elevacion.714.

AnLinspection of the involved conduit runs between the containment-penetration on elevation 734 and the wall penetration at the Q-line

on elevation 714 has been conducted and disclosed no additional areas of missing insulation.
