SUBJECT:

REVIEW 0F FIRE PROTECTION SAFETY EVALUATION SUPPLEMENTARY ITEMS Since mid-1979, there has been an on-going review of the supplementary items to the James A. FitzPatrick Fire Protection Safety Evaluation (Amendment No. 47).

Our review of 13 of the 18 remaining items has been completed while five items ei ther are incomplete or are unacceptable. is a listing of these 18 items. The status of each item is provided. provides the evaluations for the 13 completed items and defines why the remaining five items have been categorized as either incomplete or unacceptable.

four final dispcsition of the unacceptable items (3.2.1 and 3.2.8) and the inccmpl ete items (3.1.9, 3.1.15 and 3.1.20.) is reques ted wi thin 30 days of receipt of this letter.

Ventialation System-Safety-Related Pum: Rocms. Secticn 3.1.8 In tne SER, it was our cencern that the ventilation system arrangement for the safe:y-rela:ec cump rooms SP-1 and SP-2 may allow a fire in :ne screen well house to aff ect redundant com:enents.

By letter cated Ncvemoer 14, 1979 the licensee propcsed to provide a separate scurce of ventilatien from the east caole tunnel via the existing access decr-ways. The access coor be: ween tne pumo rooms and tne docr to the east cable tunnel will be held open with fusible links and electric releases.

The d existing ventilation cpenings to the pump rooms will te fitced with 2-nour ratec fire damcers ecuipped witn 160c? fusible links and electric releases.

The electric releases for tne 2 docrs and a camcers will be actuatic au o-i ma-ically by neat anc smcke detectors er manually frem a local centrei panel.

The fusible links will serve as a bacxup fer the electric releases.

I I

We agree with the licenses : hat the crescsed design will prevent a fire frem screacing via the ventila-ion system from.the screenwell building to tne

[

safety cump rcoms.

In acci-ion, in the even of a fire in the screenwell building whicn could prevent a normal flon e' ventilation to the safety puma rocms, air can be drawn from the eas; caole tunnel.

Based on our review, we cenciuce nat tne licensee's preocsec cesign is acceptatie.

l 3.1.9 Alt:rnate Shutdcwn Ca: ability - Relay Roca 1

In the Fire Frotection Safety Evaluation Repcrt it was car ccncern that an aamiticated fire in the relay room could cause the less of control and instranentation fcr systems required to achieve and maintain safe shutdewn ccnditions.

We required the licensee to provide an altarnate shutdown capability, indepandent of the cabling and equiprant ir. the relay room. To i

date, no informatica regarding this modification has taan received.

The. licensee has not demcnstrated that adequate protection feat;res have been provided for cables and ecui? ment of redundant systers i ;crtan- :: a:nieving safe shutdecin ccoditions to ensure that at least one cecns of achieving sucn 1

conditions survives postulated fires.

1 To r.cet our fire protecticn guidelines, alterr. ate shu:dewn capability sheuld be provided "; hen safe shutdce.n cannot be cnsured by barriers and ditection and suppressicn systems because of thc <x;csure of radardant safe shutdc.;n aqui, ant, cabling, or cc~,:nints ir a single fire area, to an exposwee i

The alternate shutdc..n sy> tem should meet the requirerants of 5 ction L, Parage:ph 111 of prc,,esed Vpendix R to 10 CFR Part 50.

3.1.15 Alternate Shutdcwn Capabilit v - Ca::le S;readinc Room

To date, no infceraticc. c. ;a d h.g this 70difica.icn has been recaived.

The licensca has not d:mcastrM eJ 'h H adequate protection features have been provided for cables and e: i; ;nt c: n 6.ndant systems irportant to achieving safe shutdc n cucitiens to ccrure ;F : at least one r:-ans of achieving such ccnditions survives pestulatad fires.

Tc.

t Section 111, Par 2 graph G.of the ;co:csed A;;endix R to 10 CFR Sart 20, the licensee should pecvide an a' ternate shutdce.n capability W

w.12nt of this area. The alternate shutdc.;n systam shculd meet the r :: irar. ants of Section L, Paragraph III of prcncsed A;pancix R to 10 CFR Part 50.

3.1.20 Electrical Cable Penetration Qualification In.he Fire Prctection Safety Evaluation Report, it us our concern that cable and cable ' ay penetraticn of fire barriers (both vertical and horizon-tal)..cre nct sea' d adequately to give protet 'icn at ' ast equivaient to tMt requirad of the fire barrier. The desic., cf fire barrier penetrations for hcrizontal and vertical cable. trays should be cualified by tests using ina tim 2-ta. parature exposure curve specified by ASTM E-ii9.

The licensee has not respcnded to our ccncern and has not provided infcrmation for our evaluation.

To naet the requirements of Section III, Parage:ph M of ;repcsed A;pendix R i

to 10 CFR Part 50 the licer ee should provide fire rated electrical cable penetriticn scals.vith a fire rating ecuivalent to that required of the fire l

barriars for all ekctrical cable penetrations.

emergency diesel generatcr buiicing is a reinfereed centreti -tructure wi:n a stru:tural steel supper:ed reef. The rocf sup;crts will b. lire protected fer a 3-hour fire resistance rating by a cesign tested and a;;reved in a::ctdance with ASTM E-119.cr OL 253.

By let er dated Novemb-= 27,1979, the licensee infer:ed us that the CD-dis-cnarge tests were compie. 'd in~ January 1950. Tne licensee stated tha: by using the are-coerational :es: da a and then enanc.in: the timer. bases en e

Crescent Area Fire Protectien. Section 3.2.10 In the SER, it was our concern that the response time reccired te detect a fire and manually initiate a water spray system may allcw the f. ire to continue unnecessarily in an area centaining safety-relatec ecui: ment.

'a'e aise noted that sufficien; separation nas net.:een orcvided be ween recuncan divisiens of safety-related equipment to preven; an unmitigated fire frcm affecting

ne safe shutcewn capability of the plant.

By letter dated June 26, 1950 the licensee proposed to install a 3-hcur fire-rated seismically qualified Class I enciesure surrouncing :ne RCIC tur ine and pum, and a seismically cualified barrier erectec en bc:h sides of :ne HFCI tursine anc pum:. The present manually-c:ers ec water. spray systen fer the RCIC and HPCI will te changed te automatic wi:n activation oy neat de ec crs.

In addition to :ne "?CI turoine and :ur:, a new manually actua:sc foa sys*em will be providec as cack-up tc he atter s; ray system.

Based cn cur review, we ccncluce that the fire-ra ec encicsure witn :ne automatic water spray systems are a:ceptable.
