,Th'e-compensatory measures of Technical Specification 3.7.9 (checking

local smoke detectors and establishing an hourly fire patrol) were establishe$Jimmediately for:each' damper, as required.

These~ fire dampers were discovered to be inoperable during_the

cvaluation of several Corrective Action Program Nonconformance Reports (NCR).

The NCR's were' generated as a result of concerns for

'the installation methods used for these dampers.

This_Special Report is being submitted late because the Nuclear Plant

' Engineering (NPE) personnel who determined the fire dampers were Linoperable. failed.to inform the Fire Protection Department of this conclusion.

Fite Protection personnel had originally determined the ifire-dampers to be operable, but had established fire patrols in case further evaluation reversed this conclusion.

The Corrective Action Program does not: have a: process' for informing appropriate personnel-if the initial conclusions of a NCR or Nonconforming Activity Report (NCAR) is different than the final disposition.

In order to avoid this type of situation in the future the NPE

' personnel,wilI1be directed to ensure they communicate their l

conclusion to_the appropriate personnel when.a NCR or NCAR is processed.

A corrective Action insk Group is presently formulating a

~ plan.of action to fix identified-problems with the Corrective Action Program.

They have been directed to ensure this issue is addressed.
