e Dr. J. Ne ls on Grace SPR 85-020 Page Two January 3, 1986 EVENT DESCRIPTION On December 5, 1985, the Fire Protection Coordinator (FPC) was notified that Fire Door AB 319, located on the 412' elevation of the Auxiliary Building, was fu nc tional; however, it was di f ficult to close and latch. A subsequent investigation by the FPC identified that the door was slightly twisted wh ich restricted proper closure and la t ch in g .

ACTION TAKEN Because of the difficulty in closing and l a t c h in g , the FPC declared the door inoperable. As required by Technical Specification 3.7.10, " Fire Rated As s emb l ie s ," smoke detectors were verified operable and an hourly fire watch patrol was established.

A requisit*on has been submitted and a new door placed on order.

The new as se mbly will be tnstalled immediately upon receipt.

CAUSE Prior to this event, authorization had been g iv e n to declare the subject door inoperable to facilitate passage o f c ables and hoses into the area during maintenance a c t iv i t y . Compensatory action as required was taken prior to declaring the door inoperable.

The FPC has investigated the event and has determined that the damage occurred while the door was blocked open.

The Licensee will continue to emphasize the importance of fire protection in Station Orientation Training.
