,g PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.11 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION (Continued) plutonium.
This limitation will ensure that leakage from Byproduct, Source, and Special Nuclear Material sources will not exceed allowable intake values.
Sealed sources are classified into three groups according to their use, with Surveillance Requirements commensurate with the probability of damage to a source in that group. Those sources which are frequently handled are required to be tested more often than those which are not.
Sealed sources which are continuously enciased within a shielded mechanism i.e., sealed sources within radiation monitoring or boron measuring devices) (are considered to be stored-and need not be tested unless they are removed from the shielded mechanism.
3/4.7.12 FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the Fire Suppression Systems ensures that adequate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in any portion of the facility where safety-related squipment is located.
The Fire Suppression System consists of the water system, spray, and/or sprinklers, CO, Halon, fire hose stations, and yard fire hydrants.
2
'The collective capability of the Fire Suppression Systems is adequate 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 th Fire Suppression Systems are inoperable, alternate backup fire-fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the inoperable equipment is restored to service.
When the inoperable. fire-fighting equipment is intended for use as a backup meam of. fire suppression, a longer period of time is allowed to provide an altemte means of fire fighting than if the inoperable equipment is the primary means of fire suppression.
In the event that the Fire Suppression System in the Cable Spreading Room is inoperable, a continuous fire watch is required due to the presence of redundant safe shutdown systems and/or components in the Cable Spreading. Room that could be damaged by a common fire.
The criteria for redundancy is described in Branch Technical Position (BTP) 9.5-1.
The Surveillance Requirements provide assurance that the minimum OPERABILITY requirements of the Fire Suppression Systems are met. An allowance is made for ensuring a sufficient volume of Halon in the Halon storage tanks by verifying either the weight or the level of the tanks.
Level measurements are made by either a U.L. or F.M. approved method.
In the event the Fire Suppression Water System becomes inoperable, immediate corrective measures must be taken since this system provides the major fire suppression capability of the plant.
l MILLSTONE - UNIT 3 8 3/4 7-7 Amendment No. 58 l
Mm PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.13 FIRE RATED ASSEMBLIES The functional integrity of the fire rated assemblies and barrier penetra.
tions ensures that fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreading to adjacent portions of the facility. These design features minimize the possi-bility of a single fire rapidly involving several areas of the facility prior to detection and extinguishing of the fire. The fire barrier penetrations are a passive element in the facility Fire Protection Program and are subject to periodic inspections.
Fire barrier penetrations, including cable penetration burriers, fire doors and dampers are considered functional when the visually-observed condition is the same as the as designed condition.
For those fire barrier penetrations that are not in the as-designed condition, an evaluation shall be performed to show that the modification has not degraded the-fire rating of the fire barrier penetration.
i During periods of time when a barrier is not functional, either:
(1) a con-tinuous fire watch is required to be maintained in the vicinity of the affected barrier, or (2) the fire detectors on at least one side of the affected barrier must be verified OPERABLE and an hourly fire watch patrol established until the barrier is restored to functional status.
3/4.7.14 AREA TEMPERATURE MONITORING The area temperature limitations ensure that safety-related equipment will not be subjected to temperatures in excess of their environmental qualification temperatures.
Exposure to excessive temperatures may degrade equipment and.can cause a loss of.its OPERABILITY.
The temperature limits include an allowance for instrument error of 2.20F.
