Gentlemen:
This is in response to your letter of August 4,1977, which responded to
the Notice of Violation sent to you with our letter of July 13, 1977.
Item A of your response states that fire protection equipment is not
considered safety-related and that an item of noncompliance did not
exist. Criterion 3 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50 requires that fire
detection and fighting systems be provided to minimize the adverse
effects of fire on structures, systems and components important to
safety. This criterion and the introduction to Appendix A establishes
that fire protection systems are safety-related.
Failure to maintain
the installed fire detection system in the reactor building could have
an adverse effect on the safety of the plant and is considered to be
noncompliance. Notwithstanding, corrective actions stated in your
response to Item A are considered adequate.
No further response in
regard to this item is requested.
With regard to Item B of your response, instruments of the type identi-
fied in the Notice of Violation used to verify the operability and
functional acceptability of safety-related systems as required by
facility Technical Specifications clearly places such instruments in the
category covered by Criterion XII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 and
Section 17.2.12 of the Duke Power Company Quality Assurance Program
Topical Report. Accordingly, with respect to Item B, please submit an
additional written response to this office, within ten (10) days of your
receipt of this letter, which provides the information required by
Section 2.201(a) of 10 CFR 2.

Your response should also address your administrative system for identi-
fying safety-related structures, systems and components and your planned
corrective action.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, we would be happy
to meet with you and discuss the matter further.
Very truly yours,
D
