u JAFNPP RESPONSES TO NRC STAFF CONCERNS /POSITIONC (DELINEATED IN ENCLOSURE 4) RELATING TO FIRE PROTECTION PF-33 Unsealed Pipe Penetrations The staff's position is to install fire rated seals in the pipe penetrations through fire barriers separating safety related areas of the plant from other safety related and non safety related areas.
The Authority will perform a study to determine which pipe penetrations warrant sealing and selection of the method (or methods) of sealing and this will be completed by December 31, 1979.
Installation of the seals is expected to be completed by December 31, 1980.
It may be not be possible to seal certain pipe I
penetrations due to pipe expansion, hydraulic loading and anchoring considerations.
Pipe penetration seal selection will be based on ease of installation, quality of material, maintenance and cost considerations.
PF-34 Electric Bay Heat Detector The Authority has adopted the Staff Position.
The heat detector was replaced on October 19, 1978.
PF-35 Fire Door Modifications The Authority will adopt the Staff Position.
