SUMMARY
OF MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 23, 1986 ON FIRE PROTECTION On September 23, 1986, the staff met with the applicant and its representatives to discuss the issue of fire protection (0 pen Item 7, SSER #3).
Participants are listed in Enclosure 1.
The meeting was held in response to the applicant and staff's request for additional infonnation and clarification on the remain-ing issues in order to close out Open Item 7, fire protection (Section 9.5.1 SSER3).
During the first portion of the meeting the applicant discussed the status of the fire protection program and submitted the proposed agenda for the meeting (Enclosure 2). The applicant discussed in detail each of the five items listed in Enclosure 2.
In addition to the items discussed in Enclosure 2, the applicant discussed upcoming FSAR revisions, as pertaining to fire protection (Enclosure 3).
The meeting concluded with the applicant committing to close out the remaining fire protection issues and to prepare for the upcoming audit of the Vogtle fire protection program scheduled for October 6-10, 1986 at the site. The audit will include a complete walkdown of the fire protection systems at Vogtle in addition to any pertinent documents that might be requested for review.

E ncjo w w. 3 FSAR Amendment Contents The upcoming FSAR amendment will contain certain clarifications of the VEGP positions as well as some additional deviation descriptions. The following material is an overview of these changes.
1.
FSAR Section 9.5'.~1' Changes:
Section 9.5.1.1.4, " Quality Assurance," will be rewritten to more a.
accurately reflect the VEGP quality assurance program related to fire protection, b.
The description of the charcoal filter suppression system in section 9.5.1.2 will be rewritten to reflect the removal of pipe spools or installation of blind flanges to assure against inadvertent water intrusion into charcoal filters.
Section 9.5.1.2 will be revised to reflect the absence of 8-hour c.
emergency lighting in areas which do not contain safe shutdown equipment or in outdoor access pathway areas.
d.
Section 9.5.1.2 will be revised to remove reference to manual pull stations.
2.
FSAR Appendix 9A Changes:
Paragraph M, " Fire Detection," will be rewritten for each fire area.
a.
All references to a specific type of detector will be changed to read "early warning detection system."
b.
Paragraph N, " Fire Suppression," will be revised as required for each specific fire zone to reflect the results of our walkdown evaluation. With 98% of the walkdown complete, two areas were found to have coverage different from that stated in this appendix.
Paragraph S, " Deviations and Justifications," for a particular fire c.
area may be revised based on the changes listed in the following section 3 for Appendix 9B.
3.
Appendix 9B Changes:
Section C.4 will be revised to more accurately reflect the VEGP QA a.
program. The program has been reviewed in detail in response to a Region II audit finding. The review found that the VEGP fire protection QA program provides the required high level of assurance that the design, construction, and testing of fire protection f eatures are accomplished in accordance with all applicable criteria.
It was noted, however, that the program deviates from the criteria of CMEB 9.5-1.
These deviations will be explained and justified.
h.
Section C.S.a item (3) addresses the sealing of fire barrier penet rations. The justification for the VEGP partial compliance will be expanded to include the project utilization of engineering evaluations for penetrations which deviate from tested configurations. The evaluations will be performed in accordance with the guidance of NRC Generic Letter 86-10.
~'
c.
Section C.S.a,-~1 tem '(4) ~ addresses fire damper installation;- ~This
~
section will be revised similar to item b above to use engineering evaluation for certain installations which deviate from those currently approved. These evaluations will not apply to the use of non-tested dampers.
They only affect certain details of the installation.
d.
Section C.5.a, item (7) addresses the marking of fire exit routes.
While our position is that VFGP is in compliance, clarificatiin will be added to note that the exit sign lights are not on an uninterruptable power source.
e.
Section C.S.a, item (11) addresses the assurance that hidden spaces be devoid of combustibles. It has been discovered that this is not always the case. As an alternative, VEGP will propose providing early warning fire dett;ction inside all hidden spaces which contain significant combustibles and will provide metal tray covers to enclose all cable trays in such spaces.
f.
Section C.S.f, item (4) addresses the criteria for protection of charcoal filters. In order to assure that inadvertent actuation cannot occur, the water supplies to the deluge system have been physically isolated. See item lb above.
g.
Section C.S.g, item (1) addresses the criteria for 8-hour emergency lighting. For access routes outside plant buildings VEGP will rely upon a combination of security lighting and hand lanterns.
h.
Section C.S.g, item (4) addresses the use of portable radios. The VEGP radio system is not in full compliance, but the other extensive communication systems reduce the importance of the radios.
i.
Section C.6.c, item (4) addresses the maximum length of hose in interior hose cabinets. In some locations it may be necessary to use longer hose.
J.
Section C.7.b addresses the placement of stoke detectors in the control room. The ceiling in the main control board areas of the VEGP control room is an HVAC distribution grid.
Because of this, no detectors are installed on that portion of the ceiling. This does not constitute an additional deviation, but the FSAR will be revised for clarity.
k.
Section C.7.k addresses protection for safety-related pumps. The VEGP Nuclear Service Cooling Water pumps are not coverad by a suppression system.
