BASES 3/4.3.3.8 FIRC DETECT 10f; INSTRUMEilTATI0il OPERABILITY of the fire detection instrumentation ensur_es 'that adequate warning' capability is available for the prcmpt detection of, fires. This capability is required in order to detect and locate fires

,i in their early stages. Pro.pt detection of fires will reduce the poten-

~

tial for damage to safety related equipment and is an integral element

, r,y in the overall facility fire protection program.

In the event that a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, the establishment of frequent fire patrols in the affected.

areas is re. quired to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is restored to OPERABILITY.

3/4.7.11 FIRE SUPPRESSIO:t SYSTEMS The OPERAGILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire suppressipn cap bility is available to confine and extingui'sh fires occuring in any portion of the facility where safety related equipment is located.

The fire suppressien system consists of the water syste:G spray and/or sprinklers, CO, it lon and fire hose stations. The collec-2 tive capability of the fire suppression systems is adeuate to minimize potential damage to safety related equipment and is a major element in the facility fire protection program.

In the event that portions of the fire suppression systems are inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment. is required.to be made availabic in the affected areas until the inoperable equipment is restored to service.

In the event the fire suppression water system becomes inoperabie, immediate corrective measures must be taken since this system provides the major fire suppression caccbility of the plant. The requirement for a twenty-four hour report to the Cor.nission provides for prempt evalua-tion of the acceptcbility of the correctim measures to provide adccuate fire suppression capability for the continuca protection of the nuclear plant.

3/4.7.12 PENETRATION FIRE BARRIERS The functional integrity of the penetration fire barriers ensures that fires will be confined or adequately rett.rded frem spreading to adjacent portions of the facility. This design feature minimizes th,e

-e c possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several areas of the e

facility prior to detection and extinguishunt.

The penetration fire E

barriers are a _ passive elcment ii. the facility fire protection program and are subject to periodic inspections.

During periods ~of time uhen the barriers are not functional, a con-tinu6us fire htch is required t'o be maintained in the vicinity of the j

affected barrier until the barrier is res.tored to functional status.
