.m Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Special Report No.92-001, Unit 2 Fire Barrier Penetration-0 pen for More Than Seven Days The ctantainment equipment hatch was open for more than seven days during the Unit 2_ refueling outage. The hatch was opened to support outage activities.
The seven-day time limit for t'. eouipment hatch was exceeded on March 29, 1992.
