' Docket No. 50-293 Revised Response to IE Inspection 81-07 Reference (A): IE Inspection 81-07, dated June 1, 1981 (BECo Ltr. #1.81.143)

(B): Boston Edison's response to IE Inspection 81-07, dated June 29, 1981 (BECo Ltr. #2.81.144)

Dear Sir:

This revised response is intended to clarify the intent and meaning of our initial response (Response A of Ref. (B)) to Notice of Violation A, Ref. (A):

Notice of Violation A Technical Specification 3.12.F states that "with a fire barrier not functional, a continuous fire patrol shall be established on at least one side of the affected penetration within one hour". Technical Specification 6.8.D states that " written procedures to implement the Fire Protection Program shall be established, imple-mented, and maintained".

Station Procedure No. 8.B.14 " Fire Watch", Revision 0, requires that "when a fire patrol is required, the Watch Engineer will contact the cognizant duty Security Police Supervisor and request that a member of the security force be dispatched to the control room for fire patrol duty. An entry should then be made in the control room log... The fire patrol log sheet for either hourly or constant patrol is to be initiated by the Watch Engineer..."

Contrary to the above, fire door number 64 in the Emergency Diesel Generator Room was kept open to allow passage of an air hose between 4:30 pm on March 29, 1981 and 3 pm on March 30, 1981 with no documentation of all the required fire patrols being performed.

['DOTcN EDIEON COMPANY Mr. . Eldon J. Brunner, Chief January 25, 1982 Page 2 Response A Memos (CR81-10 and CR81-11) have been submitted to the Watch Engineers, Nuclear Operating Supervisor, and to the Security Force to re-emphasize the actions that

-must be taken if fire doors are found open. The Security Force shall notify the Watch Engineer immediately should there be an indication (by door indicator) that the door did not close within the allowable specified time.

'To preclude recurrence, a Security Force procedure shall be written to address the required actions. ' -

  • The nbw security procedure, No.,1.11 shall be in effect by July 30, 1981. -

Revised Response A Memos (CR81-10 and CR81-11) have been submitted to the Watch Engineers, Nuclear Operating Supervisors, and to the Security Force to re-emphasize the actions that must be taken if fire doors are found open. Should there be an indication (by door indicator) that the door did not close within the allowable specified time, and if this situation cannot be resolved by Security personnel in a timely fashion, the Watch Er.i neer shall be immediately notified.

This revision more clearly indicates what was intended by our original response, and represents what the revised procedure (1.11) determines as a sequence of actions to address door events of this nature. We believe this response satis-factorily deals with the issue described in Violation A, IE Inspection 81-07.

Should you have any further questions regarding this response, please contact us.

Very truly yours,
