(b) USNRC letter to YAEC dated August 19, 1977 (c) USNRC letter to YAEC dated February 14, 1978
Dear Sir:
Subject:
Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Functional ?esponsibilities, Administrative Controls, and Quality. Assurance As requested in Reference (c), Yankee Atomic Electric Company has reviewed its fire protection program for the Yankee Rowe Atomic Power Station for conformance with the guidelines, " Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Functional Responsibilities, Administrative Controls, and _ Quality Assurance".
The attachments to this letter are the result of this review, Yankee-F, owe does not intend to meet the specifics of the guidelines in five areas.
Our intentions are as follows:
1.
Qualifications The Yankee Atomic Electric Company Fire Protection Coordinator meets all of the NRC requirements for his position with the exception of that calling for three years in responsible charge of fire protection work. At present, he has only two years experience in this area. However, Yankee feels that the commit-ment expressed by the co=pany in its appointment of a full time individual in this position, the job descriptions and the quali-fications of the person holding this position (attached) fully co= ply with the intent of these guidelines.
2.
Drills Fire drills at Yankee-Rowe meet the intent of the guidelines
'u except that Yankee-Rowe does not intend to conduct quarterly NM drills for all fire brigade members. Since Yankee-Rowe has five operating shifts, it would require a minimum of twenty 8011180
[
O O
United States Nuclear Regulatory Co= mission May 10, 1978 Attn: Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Page Two drills per year to meet the quarterly requirement; or, discounting outage tice, approximately one drill every three weeks.
Aside from the time required to plan, execute and critique the drills, these done on the day shift result in a complete disruption of productive work at the plant. Yankee-Rowe's plan to conduct a minicu= of two drills per quarter, with at least one on a back shift, will insure that each brigade member participates in at least one drill per year.
It is felt that this will result in a core reasonable training effort, reduced impact on productive work, and still provide an effective drill program.
3.
Requiring only fire retardent wood in those areas containing equipment required for safe shutdown.
Yankee Rowe does not require the use of fire retardent wood in these areas.
Fire retardent wood is expensive, difficult to obtain and is easily compromised by surface damage.
In addition, it would be impractical to maintain an inventory of both fire retardent wood for safety related areas and non-fire retardent wood for other areas.
Therefore, Yankee-Rowe is planning to use a non-fire retardent wood throughout the plant and is implementing a program which controls the use of wood in safety related areas.
These controls will require a review of the hazards presented and specification of special precautions, if required when wood is brought into a safety related area. Yankee-Rowe's program will provide the necessary level of protection to insure the wood introduced into the plant will not cause an unacceptable increase in fire hazards to safety related areas.
4.
Require =ent that procedures be developed with pre-planned strategies for combating fires.
Yankee-Rowe dees not believe that developing pre-planned strategies for fire fighting as described in your' guidelines is* practical or desirable. Pre-planned strategies are useful to municipal fire depart =ents which must protect a large nu=ber of buildings with various hazards with which they are not cocpletely familiar.
There-fore, written procedures for fighting fires in areas that only a f ew department members see during fire inspections are desirable.
This is not the case with Yankee-Rowe's fire brigade. The brigade-ce=bers work at Yankee-Rowe and are therefore very familiar with the fire fighting equipment used for specific hazards and their locations.
Since every fire is different, it would be misleading to provide one way to fight a fire and impossible to address every possible way to fight a fire. Yankee-Rowe trains its brigade members annually on equipment and hazard locations to reinforce each member's fa=iliarity.
In addition, the Fire Brigade leaders are trained in fire tactics and strategy which address specific plant arcas and the various ways to combat a fire in those areas. The validity of this training is checked by the performance of full scale drills at later e

=
o o
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission May 10, 1978 Attn: Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Page Three dates.' For the above reasons, Yankee-Rowe feels that written pre-planned strategies would be of no benefit to fire protection at Yankee-Rowe.
5.
Require =ent that procedures include descriptions of off-site fire t
department resources and tesponse times.
The fire brigade members are aware, through their training program.
of the off-site department resources. The approximate response time of these off-site departments are known. To clutter up procedures with this type of unrelated and unnecessary information is impractical and unrealistic.

Page 3 The simulated use of fire fighting equipmen't required to c.
cope with situation and type of fire selected for the drill. The area and type of fire chosen for the drill will be varied such that brigade members are trained in fighting fires in all areas containing equipment required for safe shutdown which contain significant fire hazards.
The situation selected will si::ulate the size and arrange-nent of a fire which could reasonably occur in the area selected, allowing for fire development due to the time required to respond, to obtain equipment, and organi:e for the fire, assuming loss of automatic suppression capability.
d.
Assessment of brigade leader's direction of the fire fighting effort, as to thoroughness, accuracy, and effectiveness.
Tne drills will be perfomed at regular intervals with a e.
minirum of two drills per calendar quarter, so that each fire brigade member participates in at least one drill l
per calendar year. At least one drill per calendar quarter will be perfomed on a "back shift". A sufficient number of these drills, not less than one per calendar quarter, 4
shall be unannounced, to determine the fire readiness of jj the plant fire brigade leader, brigade fire protection i
systems and equipment.
1 f.
Tne drills will be pre-planned to establish the training 5
i objectives of the drill.
Tne drills are to be critiqued to detemine how well the training objectives have been met and to maximi:e their effectiveness.
Unannounced drills will have their critiques perfomed by members of the management staff respcnsible for plant safetf and security.
At three year intervals, drills should be critiqued by qualified individuals independent of the utility's staff.
4.0 Records 4,
Records of training provided to each fire brigade member including l
drill critiques will be maintained to assure that each member i
receives training in all parts of the training program. These i
records of training will be available for review.

Attachment No. 3 CONTROL OF C0bBUSTIBLES Administrative centrols will be established to minimize the arount
.of combustibles that equipment required for safe shutdown may be exposed to.
Rese controls will be established to govern:
The handling of and limitation on the use of the combustibles, a.
flammable and explosive hazards such as fla:mable gases and liquids, HEPA and charcoal filters, dry unused ion exchange resins or other combustibic supplies in areas containing equipment required for safe shutdown and to assure that these items are not stored in these areas, b.
Tne transient fire. loads during maintenance and modifications such as combustible and flannable liquids, kuod and plastic products, spilled oil, oil drums, and other combustible materials in buildings containing equipment required for safe shutdown.
H is control requires an in-plant review of proposed work activities to identify potential transient fire loads.
He onsite staff member (s) designated the responsibility for reviewing work activities for potential transient fire load will specify the required additional fire protection in the work area.
h~nen the transient fire load causes the total fire load to exceed the capabilities of existing suppression systems and equipment, additicnal portable suppression equipment will be brought into the area.
c.
The removal of all waste, debris, scrap, rags, oil spills, or other combustibles resulting from the work activity, in the area following ccgletion of the activity, or at the end of each work shift, whichever is sooner.
r d.
Periodic inspection for accumulation of ccabustibles.
e.
The use of wood in areas containing equipment required for safe shutdown.
These centrols will require a review of the hazards present and specification of special precautions if necessary.
