Attachment to W3F1-95-0037 Page 1 of 2 ATTACHMENT 1 ENTERGY OPERATIONS. INC. RESPONSE TO THE VIOLATION IDENTIFIED IN APPENDIX A 0F INSPECTION REPORT 95-11 VIOLATION NO. 9511-03 The Waterford Steam Electric Station. Unit 3, Operating License, NPF-38, requires, in part, that the licensee shall implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report for the facility.
Section 9.5.1.3.1.D.5 of the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, Fire Protection Program, contained in the Final Safety Analysis Repcrt, states that portable emergency lights are available at strategic locations throughout the plant for emergency use.
Contrary to the above, on January 12, 1995, five of nine portable emergency lights (flashlights), stored in fire brigade equipment lockers 1, 2, and 4, failed to function when tested, and, therefore, were not available for use.

Reason for the Violation The apparent cause of this event was that the required procedure was not being followed in detail.
Procedure FP-001-019, Fire Brigade Equipment, provides for a monthly inspection by a qualified Fire Brigade member of equipment located in the Fire Brigade lockers, checking for availability and general condition.
During the monthly inspections, there was a failure to ensure the operability of the flashlights in the lockers in addition to conducting an itemized inventory of the lights.

Corrective Steos That Have Been Taken and the Results Achieved All fire lockers have been inspected for operability of the flashlights stored therein. Fire Protection personnel replaced batteries and flashlight equipment as necessary to return the lights to operable status. A one-time, baseline functionality re-verification has been performed on those items in the fire lockers that are expected to have a low failure rate (i.e. smoke ejectors, hose valves) and which are not covered by other surveillance

, procedures. All of-the equipment was verified as being in acceptable functional condition.
It should be noted that in addition to the monthly inspections required by FP-001-019, other plant procedures assure the ger.?ral condition of fire extinguishers, fire hoses and SCBA equipment. MM-007-010 prescribes the inspecth-
' fire extinguishers found in brigade lockers.
Procedure J-024 (safety areas) and MM-004-424 (non-safety areas) prescribes the inspection and testing of fire hoses.
Procedure HP-002-602 provides for control and inspection of SCBA equipment under the respiratory protection program for the plant.

Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken to Avoid Further Violations The Training Department wili include the condition report for this item in an upcoming fire brigade training session. This will provide training on this item for those individuals that will be involved with future fire locker inspections.
Procedure FP-001-019 will be revised to include a specific note on the inventory sheets to ensure that the flashlights are operable during,the monthly inspections of the lockers. The Operations Department will include information concerning the discovered condition as required reading for Operations Staff.

Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved Full compliance will be achieved by July 14, 1995.
