OPPD Response to Violation b.
(1) Peason for the Violation The fire barrier was made nonfunctional when a removable concrete floor slab was removed to facilitate the installation of modification MR-FC-81-092, " Emergency Exit." At the time that the modification construction package was being approved, it was the understanding of plant staff that the contractor would restore the fire barriers at the end of each working day. Therefore, the only requirements regarding fire barrier operability were for the compensatory measures of verifying fire detector operability in the area and establishing an hourly fire watch patrol for those periods of time when the fire barrier was degraded.
Shortly after work started, the plant was informed that the fire barrier could not be restored at the end of each working day and that a fire watch patrol was required around the clock. The fire barrier was inoperable in excess of seven days on May 23, 1986.
During the following 30 days, no special report was issued to the NRC. During the month of July,1986, the resident inspector requested a copy of the special report that was supposed to have been submitted to the NRC regarding the inoperable fire barrier. At that time it was veri-fied that a special report had not been submitted.
The plant immediately completed and transmitted the special report to the NRC.
The report was not submitted within the 30 day limit due to an oversight by plant staff.
(2) Corrective steos which have been taken and the results achieved.
Upon verifying that a special report had not been submitted within 30 days, a special report was completed and transmitted to the NRC as quickly as possible. A final report was submitted to the NRC on August 12, 1986.
(3) Corrective steps taken to avoid further violations.
Fort Calhoun Station Standing Order G-58, " Fire Barriers," was updated per Procedure Change No. 18029 to explain in detail the reporting requirements regarding fire barrier inoperability. A training hotline was then issued to Nuclear Production Division and Generating Station Engineering employe-es, notifying them of the changes in the procedure.
The above change in administrative controls will ensure that the NRC is notified within the 30 day limit specified.
(4) The date when full compliance will be achieved.
OPPD is presently in full compliance.
Full compliance was achieved with the submittal of the final revision of the special report on August 12, 1986.
