s Attachment t o VM 88 -0212 page 1 of 1 Violation (482 /8819-01):
Failure to Follow procedu,re Finding:
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for the fira protection program.
Procedure ADM 13-103, Revision 5, "Fire Protection:
Im p a i rme n t Contcol,"
implements procedures for impaired fire protection equipment including dehraded fire doors.
ADM 13-103, Section 4, requires that fire prototion im p a i rmen t control pe rm i t forms be prepared for all fire protection s< stem impairments.
In addition, Section 4 requires that entries be made in the fire protection impairment control log for the impairments.
Conteary to the above, on June 6,
- 1988, Vire Doors 13261 and 13281 were observed to be standing open.
Neither fire protection im pa i rmen t control permits nor log entries had been completed for those doors.
Reason for Violation:
Fire doors 13261 and 13281 were le f t open by operations personnel without the requited fire protection impairment control permits or log entra.4 due to incorrectly interpreting the requirements of ADM 13-103.
The involved operations personnel believed it was acceptable to leave the doors open without a fire impa i rm e nt permit when in the area per forming Technic al Specification surveillance tests since the operator was fire watch qualified.
Corrective St,egs Which llave_ Been taken and _ Results Achieved:
The "Fire Protec t ion Impairment Control" procedure, ADM 13-103, has been revised to clearly identify the requirement for obtaining a fire impairment pe rm i t any time a fire door is to be left open.
The Operations Supervisor instructed all Operations personnel by memo of the requirement to issue a fire impairment whenever any fire door is le f t open for a7y reason, except normal passage.
Corrective Steys Vhich Will Be Taken To Avoid Further Violations:
In addition to the corrective steps discussed above, the procedure change to ADM 13-103 was placed in operations required reading as required reading entry number 88-160 to rein force the memo sent to all Operations personnel.
Date Vhen Full Comgliance Will Be Achieved I
Full compliance has been achieved.
