Virginia Electric and Power Company North Anna Power Station, Unit #1 Attachment: Page 1 of 1 Docket No. 50-338 Report No. LER 80-106/03L-0

Description of Event

On December 21, 1980, during Mode 1 operations, fire door S94-6 was discovered nonfunctional in accordance with Technical Specification 3.7.15.

The door, which is located between the mechanical equipment room and cable spreading room, failed to close properly and had a hole in it where the door knob had been removed and relocated. The maintenance request for the door was misplaced and as a result a fire watch was not established within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> as required by T.S. 3.7.15.

This event is reportable pursuant to T.S. 6.9.1.9.b.

Probable Consequences of Occurrence The functional integrity of the penetration fire barriers ensures that fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreading to adjacent portions of the facility and establishing a fire watch adjacent to a non-functional fire barrier penetration insures prompt detection of a fire. Because all other fire protection systems remained operable, the health and safety of the general public were not affected.

Cause of Event

The door failed to close properly due to a misalignment in the door hardware and thd hole was left after previous removal of the knob for relocation.

Imrediate Corrective Acti;-j A fire watch was stationed after the Shift Supervisor learned of the discrepancy. The door was then repaired by installing a cover plate over the existing hole and adjusting the necessary door hardware.

Scheduled Corrective Action No scheduled corrective is required.

Actions Taken to Prevent Recurrence No further actions are required.
