BASES I

l 3 /4.11A TIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION i

OPERA 31LITY of the fire detection instru=entation ensures that l

adequate warning capability is available for the pronpc detection of

f. ire s. This capability is requiIred'in ord'er to d'etect and'l'ocate fires in their early stages. Frompt cetection of the fires will reduce the potential for de= age to safety related equipment and is an integral i

element in the overall facility fire protection program.

In-the avant that a portion of the fire detectinn instru=enta-tion is inoperable, the establishment of continuous fire patrola..in the affected areas is required to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is returned to operability.

3/4.123. C, D, E FTP2 SUPPRESSION Sv5TD'.S The OPERABILITY of the fire suppression systems ensures that adequate fire suppression capability is available to confine and extinguish fires occurring in any portion of the facility where safety related equipment is located. The fire suppression system consists of the water syste=,

spray and/or sprinklers, CO and fire hose stations. The collective 2

capability of the fire suppression systems is adequate to mini:12e potential damage to saf ety rela ted equipment and is a major ele =ent in the facility fire protection progra=.

In the event that portions of the fire suppression syste: are inoperable, alternate backup fire fighting equipment 1: required to be made available in the af f ected areas until the affected equipment can be restored to service.

I In the event that portions of the fire suppression water syste: becoce l

inoperable, alternate. backup fire fighting equipment is required to be cade available in the af fectsd areas until the af fected equipment can be restored i

to service.

l In the event that the fire suppression water system becomes in-operable, immediate corrective measures must be taken since this system prcvides the major fire suppression capability of the plant. The requirement for a twenty-Jour hour report to the Commission provides for prompt evaluation of the acceptability of the corrective measures to provide adequate fire suppression capability for the continued pro-l taction of the nuclear plant.

C BASES-(Continued) 3/4.12T TIRI BARRIER P D*ETRATION SEALS The functional integrity of the fire barrier penetration seals l

ensures that fires vill be confined or adequately retarded from l

spreading to adjacent portions of the facility. '31s design feature minimizes the possibility of a single fire rapidly involving several areas of the f acility prior to detection and extinguishment. The fire barrier penetration sea's are a passive element in the facility fire j

protection program and are subject'tg periodic instection..

During periods of time When the seals are not functional,' a continuous fire patrol is re. quired to Be. 2atntaine.d in the vicinity of the affected seal until the seal is restored to functional status.
