.TE EVENT OESCRIPTION AND PROBABLE CONSEQUENCES h j o l2 I lOn March 29. 1983, with the Plant in Mode 5, a trouble alarm was received from Fire l 1 o l3 l l Detection Zone NNN in the Control Building (Elev. 482'). Operations personnel l

l o l4 l l investigating the alarm on March 31, 1983, discovered that the zone would not l

l o ls l l respond to a sinulated smoke condition. Typically, trcuble alanns are not alarm l

l0lslllimiting. 'Ihe ma%r equipment in the "one was protected during the inoperable l

l g g, l ; period by an independently operating deluge sprinkler system. 'Ihe potential did g

,o;,gjexist for a fire to be initially undetected during the two-day period.
