FACILITIES: Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2 SUBJECT- 'UMMARY OF MEETING CONCERNING THE QUAD CITIES FIRE l PROTECTION PROGRAM AND INDIVIDUAL PLANT EXAMINATION OF EXTERNAL EVENTS (IPEEE)
On June 2, 1997, the staff met with Comed to discuss NRC concerns that were addressed in a May 22, 1997, letter to Comed. This letter relates to a site visit by members of the NRC staff to review the plant areas associated with the more significant fire vulnerabiP. ties'and review the Interim Alternate l Shutdown Method (IASM) as they relate to the licensee's IPEEE assessment. A list of attendees is provided as Enclosure 1.
The objective of the meeting was for Comed to discuss with the staff the status of short- and long-term corrective actions and immediate fire i protection compensatory measures Quad Cities has taken to reduce the possible I occurrence of a fire in these vulnerable areas. The licensee also summarized the IASM and the schedule for completing the long-term conceptual designs for j safe shutdown simplification. A copy of the licensee's presentation is l included as Enclosure 2 and an additional handout listing existing and enhanced fire fighting equipment availability is included as Enclosure 3.
The licensee discussed its fire hazards monitoring with increased fire watch I surveillance and training, stricter controls over transient combustibles.
added fire fighting equipment, and enhanced fire fighting response measures.
The short-term resolution and schedule for constructing a fire barrier to address the motor-generator set vulnerability issue was discussed. The administrative controls over safe shutdown equipment before the IPEEE assessment, after the IPEEE, and with the IASM was ) resented. The IASM was discussed as to the actions required to implement t11s method and the i reliability of the water source. Shift manning and training was discussed to /
show the personnel required for safe shutdown and fire fighting. The schedule ')
for completion of the conceptual designs for safe shutdown simplification was /
also addressed. y l
l Based on the meeting, the licensee is scheduling to have the conceptual designs for IPEEE risk reduction done by July 31, 1997, and a followup meeting /
! (tentatively being scheduled for early August) between the staff and Comed to review the licensee's fire risk reduction activity status. The licensee 9707070011 970701 PDR

l Comed stated that a written response to the May 22, 1997, letter will be issued within 30 days of this meeting. The response will also address facility
- compliance with NRC regulations.
