3/4.12F FIRE BARRIER PENETRATION SEALS The functional integrity of the fire barrier penetration seals ensures that fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreading to adjacent portions of the facility. This design feature minimizes the possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several area,s of the facility prior to detection and extinguishment.
The fire barrier penetration seals are a passive alament in the facility fire protection program and are subject to periodic inspection.
During periods of time when the seals are not functional, a continuous fire patrol is r= quired to be maintained in the vicinity of the affected seal until the seal is restored to functional status.
The substitution of action statements from " continuous fire patrol" to "once per hour fire patrol" for the fire penetration barrier between the main steam tunnel and turbine building is based on:
(1) Only one fire barrier between the Turbine Building and reactor building is required. Thus, the staam tunnel can be included with either the RHR "A" Valve Room or Turbine Building fire areas.
(2) The existing confiEuration (ie. no. door and an unrated blowout assembly) provides adequate fire separation and protection capabilities on the following bases:
(a) Combustible loadings in the areas of concern are very low. Transient
.\\ -
loadings are administratively controlled.
(b) The blowout panel is constructed of materials consistent with " rated" fire barriers offering protection up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
(c) A fire detection system exists in the RHR Valve Room and a fire suppression system exists in the Turbine Building.
