c Mr. R. L. Spassard July 22, 1985 Page 3 NRC REQUEST B.
A statement of your current commitment to conformance to those NFPA stan-dards identified in that list.
WPSC RESPONSE 3
The Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant's Fire Hazards /nalysis was intended to be a self-evaluation document used to assess the degree of compliance with BTP 9.5-1 and was valid for the time at which the review was conducted.
In looking at the Fire Protection Safety Evaluation Report (FPSER), (Tech.
Spec. Amendment #23), issued December 12, 1978, a five (5) man NRC inspection team inspected this facility. The inspection team independently evaluated our Plant and, as a result of their inspection, twenty-eight (28) modifications we,re recommended to this facility before BTP 9.5-1 was satisfied. The inspection team's SER confirms our compliance with the criteria set in the Branch Technical Position 9.5-1 and Appendix A.
The standards listed in the Fire Protection Program Analysis did not imply ver-batim compliance but rather were a commitment to apply these standards accor-ding to good engineering judgment, professional interpretation, and good fire
. protection practice in the design and operation of the Kesaunee Plant.
NRC REQUEST C.
A statement defining your interpretation of the applicability of NFPA stan-dards to the Kewaunee facility.
WPSC RESPONSE The Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant received its Construction Permit in 1968 and its Operating License in 1973, prior to the present-day fire protection guide-lines. The high degree of compliance now found is a credit to WPSC's high pro-fessional standards of fire protection.

Mr. R. L. Sp ssard July 22, 1985 Page 4 WPS interprets the applicability of NFPA standards to KNPP in the following manner.
Applicable NFPA standards will be observed in the design, construction, and operation of the KNPP according to professional interpretation and good fire protection practice.
The NFPA Standards applicable to Kewaunee will be updated concurrent with the Fire Hazards Analysis for 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, in a time frame commensurate with th'e completion commitment of the modifications to meet Appendix R requirements.
