- 3. 2 Incomalete items In addition to the licensee's proposed modifications, a few incomplete items remain, as discussed below.
The sections of this report which discuss these in' complete items are noted in parentheses.
We will address the resolution of incomplete items in a supplement to this report.
Your submittal should include a schedule for any additional modifications, such as may be required as a result of the resolution of the incomplete items.
3.2.1 Smoke Detection Systems Bench tests will be conducted on a minimum of 50% of the installed smoke detectors in each Zone to verify that the detectors will provide prompt l
response and have adequate sensitivity to the products of combustion for l
the combustibles in the areas where they are installed.
If detection systems are found to be inadequate, appropriate modifications will be made to provide adequate detection system performance.
l With regard to the adequacy of the smoke detection systems, we have requested that in situ testing be conducted with a suitable smoke gercration device l
to verify that the location and placement of smoke detectors is adequate to give prompt response and that the ventilation air flow patterns in the area do not significantly reduce or prevent detection system response.
The licensee has not found a suitable means to conduct such tests in a manner which does not introduce further safety considerations.
Further action is being taken in the development of a suitable test method.
