Drawings 47W470-4, and 478473 sheets 2, 5, and 6 establish the proper installation of penetration seals.

Contrary to the above, prior to March 6,1988,16 point crane wall penetrations were not sealed in accordance with these design drawings.

This a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I)

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be established, implemented, and maintained for surveillance and testing activities of safety-related equipment, Fire Protection Program implementation, and procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Surveillance Instruction 233.1, "Visual Inspections of Penetration Fire Barriers - Mechanical System 302 (Penetrations)" implements required periodic visual surveillance of fire barriers.

Contrary to the above, prior to March 6, 1988, the licensee failed to have an adequate orocedure for periodic inspections of the shield building nenetration ' ire barrier foam seals. Fabric boot sleeves were installed during origial plant construction on 53 of these penetrations, for hydraulic cons:de ations, making the foam fire barriers inaccessible.

Surveillance Instruction (SI) 233.1, "Visual Inspections of Penetration Fire Barriers-Mechanical System 302 (penetrations)" and its pradecessors did not require removal of these sleeves to permit fire barrier inspection or reauire inspection n' +.he barrier from the opoosite side of the wall.

As a result, the licensee ird not met the requirements of f.S. 4.7.12 for visual inspection of fire barrier .u cis since plant licensing.
