The Report identifies Fire Protection Features that, by plan, are being rendered inoperable to accommodate certain activities during the 1994/1995 Refueling Outage. While these Features are inoperable, plant administrative controls are in place to ensure ,

adequate fire protection is provided. This Report applies +

only to Fire Protection Features which are being rendered inoperable as part of planned outage evolutions, and which will be restored functional prior to plant startup. The following identifies the features which have exceeded their action conditions.

BREACHED FIRE BARRIERS The following Fire Barrier penetration seals have been rendered inoperable as-part of planned evolutions during the current refueling outage. These penetration seals have remained inoperable for more than seven days. These are in addition to those identified in special report 95-001 sent to you on January 4, 1995:

252' These penetration seals have been made inoperable to permit modification, upgrade, or repair of the-penetration seals themselves, to facilitate continuous fire watches established in connection with outage  !

work, or to permit transport of material used during .

outage work.

Fire watches have been established at these locations. l In addition, a roving operator watch surveys the areas of 76FDR-A-286-23 and -24 on a routine basis.

A Special Report is required for these fire barrier breaches since the equipment has been inoperable for l greater than 7 days. <

IMOPERABLE FIRE PROTECTIOM/ DETECTION SYSTEMS ,

The Ten Ton CO System has been rendered inoperable,  !

and has remained inoperable for more than fourteen days. This planned evolution was entered to permit modifications to the control panel for the CO2 System. ,

Backup fire suppression and fire watches have been  ;

established for the affected areas.

A Special Report is required since the equipment has j been inoperable for greater than 14 days.

For each of the above breached barriers and system impairments, AP-01.04 provides direction to ensure adequate fire protection compensatory actions and controls are maintained such as: ,

• Breach permits are obtained for each fire barrier breached. These permits ensure that proper reviews are obtained, appropriate compensatory fire protection measures are established, and appropriate notifications and postings are made.

• These non-functional Fire Protection Systems and barriers are included in the Active LCO (Limiting condition for Operation) list for the outage. The list is reviewed and updated daily and presented in daily outage planning meetings.

• Each proposed Fire Protection System impairment is evaluated on a case by case basis and additional precautions are implemented as appropriate.
