BASES:

3/4.12A FIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION OPERABILITY of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires.

This capability is required in order to detect and locate fires in their early stages.

Prompt detection of the fires will reduce the potential for damage to j

safety related equipment and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.

I In the event that a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is i

inoperable, increasing the frequency of fire watch patrols in the affected I

areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is returned to operability.

'3/401'28, C, D, E FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring s

in any portion of the facility where safety related equipment is located.

The fire suppression system consists of the water system, spray and/or sprinklers, the Halon System and fire hose stations.

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.

The surveillance requirements provide. assurances that the minimum OPERABILITY requirements of the fire suppression systems are met.

The allowance is based on the minimum quantity of Halon necessary to extinguish a fire.

The minimum quantity is 217 lbs. per tank, and the system requires a minimum of 5 tanks at all times.

This is in accordance with the National Fire Codes. Operability is assured by verifying the quantity of Halon and pressure in the tank (s).

In the event that portions of the fire suppression system are inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment is required to be made availabl( in the affected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.

In the event that portions of:<the fire suppression water system become 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 takan since this system provides the major fire supprer.sion capability of the plant.
