Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
Reference:
Report No. 50-348/81-06 This letter refers to the deviation in the subject inspection report which states:
"Sectica 4.4.4.1.10 of the Farley Nuclear Plant Fire Protection Program Reevaluation (FPPR) dated September 15, 1977 with Amendments 1 through 4 (Amendment 4 dated January 3, 1979) states that modifi-cations will be made to the ventilation duct penetrations of fire barriers to achieve compliance with the NRC guidelines of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position 9.5.1, Guidelines for Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants Docketed Prior to July 1, 1976. Appendix A Section D.1(j) requires ventilation duct systems to be providad with
" fire door dampers" installed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association Standard No. 80 (NFPA-80), Fire Doors and Windows, at all locations where the ducts penetrate fire barriers.
NFPA-80 Section 2-8.9 requires fire door assemblies to be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Contrary to the above, the fire dampe was not installed in accordance t
I with the manufacturer's installation instructions."
Response
All Unit 1 fire dampers installed as a result of the Fire Protectic1 Reevaluation Program have been inspected to determine if installation was in accordance with manufacturer's 'nstallation instructions and l
installation discrepancies have been identified on 31 dampers. All discrepancies noted will either be corrected or left as is if evaluated as acceptable by the design organization.
Correction of deficiencies is complete on 10 of the 31 dampers and has been partially 8106100J/O
Mr. J. P. O'Reilly May 11, 1981 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Page 2 completed on another nine.
Correction of the remaining deficiencies will require shutdown of the affected plant ventilation systems and, in some cases, will not be possible without unit shutdown. These activities will be scheduled and implemented before the return to power following the first outage of sufficient duration, but no later than the return to power at the next refueling outage.
All other Unit 1 fire dampers will be inspected and any deficiencies corrected prior to the return to power at the next refueling outage.
All but three of the Unit 2 fire dampers have been inspected, corrected, as necessary, and verified to be installed in accordance with manufac-turer's installation instructions. Action associated with the three remaining Unit 2 fire dampers will be completed wher. the systems are available for work, uut in no case will be later than the first refueling outage.
Yours very truly,
