CD-T-16,-(Rev. 10)

Structural Steel and Q-Decking

Based on this review, it appears that the above procedures meet the

licensee's commitments in Section 9B of the Vogtle FSAR and the Unit

Fire Protection Quality Assurance Program Evaluation Report dated

March 1,1988, (File X4BJ01, Log: 7323). This report evaluated the

existing ~ QA program applied to design, construction, installation,

and testing of the fire protection features provided for Vogtle

'.

Unit 2.

Included in this report is a description of the Fire

Protection Finalization Program, FP-3, which is intended to verify

specific fire protection features by a combination of design reviews

and walkdowns. The fire protection features which are to be verified

are:

Underground Utilities

Fire Detection System

Sprinkler System

Fire Hose Cabinets

Fire Door Assemblies

Emergency Lighting

afe Shutdown Conduit

The rr sults of this program will be reviewed during a future NRC

-

inspection.

Additionally, the inspector reviewed the following test records for

l

the dates indicated. The test data and frequency associated with the

i

construction fire protection systems inspecticas were found to be

satisfactory with regard to meeting the requirements of procedure

i

SD-T-05.

(1)

File X7BA01-C11Q - Monthly Fire Extinguisher Inspection Report:

The construction Fire extinguishers were inspected each month

between January 1988, and April 1988, except not all extin-

guishers located outside the power block were inspected during

February 1988, s'ue to manpower shortage to conduct inspections.

The inspector ve. ified that all extinguishers inside the power

block safety related plant areas were inspected during this

period.

(2)

File X7BA01-C3A - Monthly Hose House Inspection Report: The

inspector verified that the plant Hose Houses and Hose boxes

were inspected between October 1987, and April 1988, except

records for the February 1988, inspection was not located in the

QA ' records vault.

During the inspection the licensee satis-

factorily located copies of these records which were to be

placed in the appropriate file in the records vault.

Permanent-Plant Fire Protection Features

The= status of the construction and installation of the permanent plant

features for Unit 2 is a follows:

a.

Fire Pumps, Storage Tanks, Yard Mains, Hydrants, Fire Hose Houses

(Module 640538)

The fire water supply and distribution system is essentially 100%

installed and under operational control of Unit 1.

Some lead-in

water supply piping to Unit 2 sprinkler systems has not yet been

flushed.

Test blanks have been installed between the system

isolation valves and Unit 2 preaction sprinkler valves prior to

system installation.

The test blanks will be removed after the

header piping is verified clean.

For Unit 2, this provides reesonable

assurance that foreign materials have been removed from the

-undergrovri lead-in piping system and that sprinkler systems are free.

from foretgn material. Georgia Power Company requested NRC approval

by letter dated July 7,1987, for this alternate flushing technique.

SER approval was provided by letter dated October 26, 1987, from the

NRC that concluded the proposed change was acceptable. The inspector

reviewed sprinkler system detail and tagging chart Drawing 2X4DF00290

(Revision 1), and flushing Procedure VEGP-2 (Revision 0), Attachment

10.3, Temporary Flushing Modifications, which indicate the instal-

lation of the test blanks and the lead-in piping flushing procedure.

. Based on this review, it appears that the installation and removal of

the test blanks are adequately controlled through the use of drawings

and the procedures for Vogtle Unit 2.

b.

Automatic Sprinkler Systems

The installation of 124 Unit 2 sprinkler systems is nearing 70%

completion. Design is completed fc

all sprinkler systems. A review

was made of the QC inspection and hydrostatic tests for the below

listed systems:

These tests appeared to meet the 200 psi test pressure for two hour s

duration testing requirements of NFPA-13, Sprinkler Systems and are

satisfactory.

A .walkdown of these systems was conducted ar.d it appeared that the

sprinkle. coverage was in general, provided at the ceilir.g level. It

was noted that criteria for placement of in-tray spray systems was

deleted for these and other plant areas, except the cable spreading

>

rooms.

Also it was noted that sprinkler piping supports in these

areas utilize NFPA-13 hanger and sway bracing designs rather that

rigid type supports which were used on Unit 1.

These sprinkler

'

design changes were accepted by the NRC in a SER dated October 26,

1987.

Based upon the inspectors review it appeared that the

-

installed systems reviewed met the licensee's design criteria as

approved by the SER.

c.

. Fire Door

Fire door installation is proceeding with approximately 60%

completed. An inspection was made of the following fire doors to -

verify that the appropriate QA inspection records were provided as

designated in the Vogtle Unit 2 Fire Protection Quality Assurance

Program Evaluation Report.

No discrepancies were noted.

Ocor No.

Control Room Temporary Fire Barrier Wall

For a period of Unit 1 operation and Unit 2 construction, the Unit 1

and Unit 2 centrol rooms were separated by a gypsum board three hour

fire barrier wall on the Unit 2 side between the two control rooms.

By letter dated December 21, 1987, Georgia Power notified the NRC of

the proposed removal of this fire barrier prior to completion of

Unit 2.

The inspector reviewed the licensees commitments to provide

interim fire protection features denoted in the above letter to

verify their implementation to preclude the remaining Unit 2 control

room construction activities from compromising the safety of the

Unit 1 control room.

The inspector reviewed the Unit 2 fire watch

log and verified that appropriate fire watches had been established

since January 1988. Other features including structural steel fire

proofing, portable fire extinguishers, welding permit controls

l

'

appeared to be in place, except it was observed during the

walkthrough that the committed Unit 2 fire hose cabinet immediately

adjacent to the control room entrance (labeled Station No.

2-23-01-R4-197) was not maintained available for fire brigade use due

to construction related obstructions in the areas consisting of a

construction workstation, stacked five gallon cans of construction

,

materials, ladders and crew boxes weich restricted accessibility to

'

!

the cabinet.

In addition, the fir 2 hose cabinet door latch was

inoperable and construction electrical power cords were being stored

i

inside the cabinet. The failure to maintain this fire hose cabinet

'

capable of spraying all Unit 2 control room areas is a failure to

meet a commitment made to the NRC and is identified as Deviation

(425/88-32-01), Failure to Maintain Manual Fire Hose Suppression

!

Capability for the Unit 2 Control Room.

Except as noted above,

within the areas examined, no additional violations or deviations

were identified.

Oil Collection System (64100)

The Vogtle FSAR Section 9BC.7.a states that an oil collection system is

provided for the reactor coolant pump.. Each Uni: 2 reactor coolant pump

is provided with an oil collection systcm arranged to collect oil from

potent?al leakage points and drain this oil into a drain tank.

Potential oil leakage points for each pump have been provided with an oil

containment system consisting of a lower bearing oil pot drip pan, upper

oil level detection drip pan, oil cooler drip pan, and oil lif t system

enclosure.

These enclosures are connected to oil collection piping headers which are

designed in accordance with the Bechtel Nuclear Project Classification

List (414) denoted as Nuclear Safety Class 4 (Quality Group D) as defined

by Regulatory Guide 1.26. and are supported to Nuclear Seismic Category 1

to withstand a design basis seismic event. A separate tank of 300 gallons

capacity is provided for each pump's lubrication system oil collection

piping headers. Each collection tank is verted and provided with a flame

arrestor.

Each tank's capacity is sufficient to hold the full volume of

oil from the reactor coolant pump.

The inspector reviewed the following documentation of the oil collection system

and it was verified that the system was being installed under a QA/QC program.
