eight spare 50 ft. sections of 2 inch hose The designated fire brigade equipment located in the above locations appears to be properly maintained and stored in a ready conditio Within the area examined, no violations or deviations, associated with the fire brigade equipment or it's maintenance, were identifie (4) Fire Brigade Drill During this inspection, the inspector witnessed an unannounced

'

fire brigade drill. The drill fire scenario was a fire in the diesel generator room 18. The apparent drill fire condition was caused by a leaking fuel pump governor assembly which was spraying fuel to the right side of the engine and became ignited. Twelve fire brigade members responded to tha pending fire emergency. The l fire brigade assembled outside the diesel generator building in full protective firefighting turnout clothing and self contained breathing apparatus. An initial size up of the fire condition was made. The fire brigade isolated the fuel supply to the 18 diesel

'

engine and concurrently layed a 2 inch supply hose with a gated wye from hydrant No. Upon completion of laying the 2h inch supply line, the fire brigade connected two 1 inch fire attack lines to the gated wye and advanced the attack lines into diesel generator room 1 The

attack lines were placed in service on the fire and the fire was placed under control in 15 minute The fire brigade utilized proper manua. fira suppression methods and reacted to the fire drill scenario in an effective and efficient manner. It appears that the proficiency of the fire brigade can be directly attributed to the comprehensive fire brigade training program administered by the site's fire protection staf d. Plant Tour A plant tour was made by the inspecto During the plant tour the following safe shutdown related areas and their related fire protection features were inspected:

,

-

Cable Spreading Room

-

East Cableway

-

Service Switchgear Room 10

-

Service Switchgear room IC

-

RPS Battery Room 1A,1B, 2A and 2B

Battery Switchgear Room 2A

!

The inspector visually inspected the fire / smoke detection capabilities,

the manual firefighting ' equipment (i.e., portable fire extinguishers, i hose stations and CO2 hose stations), and the fire barrier walls

, associated with the above plant area In addition, the inspector l visually inspected the sprinkler protection associated with the cable spreading room and east cable room. Based on the visual inspection ~1t I

appears that the fire protection features associated with the subject areas were, generally, properly maintained and fully functiona However, this inspection identified that conduit penetration 1Z43-H0360

, located in the fire barrier wall separating switchgear room IC and ID

'

appeared to be degraded. The grout material around the penetrating pipe sleeve had deteriorated to a point where the sleeve structurally was not an integral part of the barrier. On September 26, 1985, the licensee issued maintenance work order (MWO) 1-85-5487 to correct this situatio In addition, the Appendix R 20 minute fire watch patrol inspects the switchgear area and the switchgear rooms are provided with early warning smoke detection capabilitie The licensee indicated that the plant fire barrier assemblies are presently being reevaluated and a walkdown is being performed as part of their ongoing Appendix R

analysis program. Therefore, this item has been identified as Inspector Followup Item (321/85-28-01 and 366/85-28-01), Review of
