Reference:
50-424/86-64, 50-425/86-30 Attention: Mr. Virgil L. Brownlee The Georgia Power Company wishes to submit the following information concerning the deviation identified in your inspection report 50-424/86-64 and 50-425/86-30:
Deviation 50-424/86-64-05, 50-425/86-30-01, "QA Program for Fire Protec-tion Systems Installation Does Not Meet NRC Branch Technical Position CMEB 9.5.1" Subsequent to the July 21-25, 1986, NRC inspection, Georgia Power Company (GPC) conducted an extensive evaluation of the fire protection QA program includir.g implementing procedures and verification documenta-tion as being implemented in actual practice.
The design, procurement, installation and testing activities were reviewed for all fire protection related features encompassing detection, suppression (automatic and manual), barriers including doors, dampers and seals, and emergency lighting and communications.
Based on the results of this review as documented in the " Fire Protection Quality Assurance Program Evaluation" report dated September 12, 1986, which is available at the jobsite for NRC review, GPC has concluded the following:
1.
In addition to the three items identified in the deviation, a similar r.undition exists for fire doors and three hour rated plaster walls.
2.
All activities, however, have been conducted under the direction of written instructions with the documentation of verification results provided on at least a sample basis except for the construc-tion of three nour plaster walls (discussed later).
3.
The installation, including verification
- thereof, performed to date, is acceptable except for the three hour walls on the following bases:

The fire detectors and wiring are re-verified during the compre-hensive preoperational checkout / testing program on a 100%
basis.
In addition, the detector arrangements are wal ked down by Engineering during the fire protection finalization program.
A copy of this program has been provided for the NRC fire protection inspector's review, b.
Fire doors are re-verified by both the area turnover program and the fire protection finalization program walkdowns.
c.
Structural steel fireproofing installation was under the purview of a QC program until April 1986.
For the subsequent time periods, discipline area engineer surveillance logs provide confidence in the adequacy of the fireproofing.
Structural steel fireproofing coverage with the exception of thickness is independently verified by the previously mentioned finaliza-tion program.
d.
A review of a sample of the existing surveillance records for the seismic gap fire seals indicates that the appropriate installation parameters were verified.
As a further result of the evaluation, the FSAR and other appropriate project documents will be revised to clarify that all fire protection features (as defined above) are included under the fire protection QA program scope.
In order to implement the fire protection QA program in a more rigorous manner, GPC commits to the following actions:
1.
Perform an independent re-inspection of existing three hour plaster walls and verify on a sample basis the thickness of the internal fireproofing material.
r
- 2. ' Provide for independent inspection on a sample basis of future installation activities for structural steel fireproofing and three hour plaster walls.
3.
Provide for QC inspection of seismic gap fire seals in a similar manner as that currently being provided for penetration seals.
These actions are expected to be completed by October 28, 1986.
This response contains no proprietary information and may be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Yours truly, /
