A.
Technical Specification Section 3.7.7 requires all fire rated assemblies separating safety-related fire areas or separating portions of redundant systems important to safe shutdown within a fire area, and all sealing devices in fire rated assembly penetrations, to be operable at all times.
With one or more of the required fire rated assemblies and or sealing devices inoperative..a continuous fire watch is required to be posted on one side of the affected assembly and/or sealing device or the operability of the fire detectors on at least one side of the inoperative assembly and/or sealing device is to be verified and an hourly fire watch patrol is to be established.
Contrary to the above, based on a review of the computer printouts for the security doors into six (Rooms ID302, OC219, OC220, OC302, OC409 and OC709) of the approximately 80 fire zones or rooms for which a fire watch is j
required due to licensee identified inoperative fire rated assemblies and/or penetration seals, hourly fire watch patrols were not performed each hour during the night shifts (0 to 8 AM) on August 8 and 13,1986. Hourly fire watch patrols were missed for four of the six rooms on August 8 and for five i
of the six rooms on August 8 and for five of the six rooms on August 13.
Also, the time between each hourly patrol frequently exceeded the specified one hour time frame.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
Technical Specification Section 3.7.6.6 requires the yard hydrants and associated hydrant hose houses listed in Table 3.7.6.6-1 to be operable when i
the equipment in the areas protected by the yard fire hydrants is required to be operable. 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(c) requires the licensee to report to the NRC any deviations from the plant's Technical Specifications.
