PLANT SYSTEMS 3/4 7.12 FIRE BARRIER PENETRATIONS LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION

- 3.7.12 All fire barrier penetrations (including cable penetration barriers, firedoors and fire dampers) in fire zone boundaries protecting safety related areas shall be functional.

APPLICABILITY:

At all times.

ACTION:

. a. - With one or more of the above required fire barrier penetrations non-functional, within one hour either, estabilsh a contir.ucus fire watch on at least one side of the affected penetration, or verify the OPERABILITY of fire detectors on at least one side of the non-functional fire barrier and establish a hourly fire watch patrol.

Restore the non-functional fire barrier penetration (s) to functional status within 7 days, or in lieu of any other report required by i

Specification 6.9.1, prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.2 within the next 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause of the non-functional penetration and plans and schedule for restoring the fire barrier penetration (s) to functional status, b.

The provisions of Specifications 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable.

i SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.7.12 Each of the above required fire barrier penetrations shall be verified to be functional:

At least once per 18 months by a visual inspection.

a.

l b.

Prior to returning a fire barrier penetration to functional status

~ following repairs or maintenance by performance of a visual inspection of the affected fire barrier penetration (s),

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.10 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(c) limits for plutonium. This limitation will ensure that leakage from byproduct, source, and special nuclear material sources will not exceed allowable intake values.

' 3/4.7.11 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 equipment is located.

The fire suppression system consists of the water system, deluge and sprinklers, hose stations and Halon. 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 the fire suppression systems are inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made available in the affected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.

In the event that 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. The requirement for a twenty-four hour report to the Commission provides for prompt evaluation of the acceptability of the corrective measures to provide adequate fire suppression capability for the continued protection of the nuclear plant.

3/4.7.12 PENETRATION FIRE BARRIERS The functional integrity of the penetration fire barriers 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 areas of the facility prior to detection and extinguishment.

The penetration fire barriers are a passive element in the facility fire protection program and are subject to periodic inspection.
