CPS/USAR 1.0 CLINTON POWER STATION FIRE PROTECTION EVALUATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to summarize the fire hazards analysis which has been performed for the Clinton Power Station (CPS) and to provide the design information which was the basis for the analysis.
Chapter 1 provides a brief history of the fire protection aspects of licensing for Clinton (Section 1.2), a summary of NRC evaluations of CPS fire protection design (Section 1.3), a general fire protection evaluation (Section 1.4), a listing of assumptions used in the analysis (Section 1.5), and a description of the methodology used to perform the evaluation (Section 1.6).
Chapter 2 discusses the procedures which were used to prepare and document the fire hazards analysis and the procedures which will be used to update the Fire Protection Evaluation Report.
Chapter 3, Section 3.1 identifies the CPS construction, equipment, and system characteristics which were used in the fire hazards analysis. Sections 3.2 - 3.9 provide the fire hazards analysis for each fire area and zone. The contents of this chapter include the fire hazard classification and fire rating of building materials, combustible loading for electrical cables, motor control centers and switchgear, description of ventilation systems, and descriptions of fire detection and suppression systems. Each fire area/zone is described, major safety-related equipment located in the area/zone is identified, combustible material and fire loading for the area/zone is stated, fire protection and detection available in the area/zone is described, and a hazards summary is provided.
Chapter 4 provides an evaluation of compliance of the Clinton Power Station Fire Protection Program with the requirements of BTP APCSB 9.5-1 Appendix A.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued a Memorandum and Order (CLI-80-21) on May 23, 1980, that stated that the combination of the guidance contained in Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1 and the technical requirements set forth in Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 define the essential elements for an acceptable fire protection program at Clinton Power Station. Therefore, the NRC staff has used the technical requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 and Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1 as guidelines in its evaluation of Clinton's fire protection program.
1.2 FIRE PROTECTION CHRONOLOGY In response to R. S. Boyd's (NRC) September 30, 1976 letter to L. J. Koch (IPC), IPC performed a reevaluation of the Clinton Fire Protection Program and submitted the Clinton Fire Protection Evaluation Report (FPER) to the NRC on April 12, 1978. On December 1, 1979, the Clinton FSAR was submitted to the NRC; FSAR Subsection 9.5.1 provided additional detailed information on the design of fire protection and detection systems and administrative fire protection controls.
On November 19, 1980, the NRC issued the fire protection rule, 10 CFR 50.48 and 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. The Clinton Safety Evaluation Report (SER) was issued in February 1982; the SER found the Clinton Fire Protection Program acceptable but required a Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA) per the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. In response, IPC performed an SSA for Clinton and submitted it to the NRC on December 16, 1982. Subsequent to IPC's submittals of the FPER and SSA, many guidance documents were issued by the NRC to clarify various aspects of their fire protection requirements. In order to update the two reports to reflect current design and to incorporate recent NRC guidance, IPC decided that a complete review of the Clinton fire hazards analysis and safe shutdown analysis would be performed. This revised report reflects the review of the fire hazards analysis.
APPENDIX E E1.1-1 REV. 12, JANUARY 2007
CPS/USAR 1.3 RESULTS OF NRC REVIEW The NRC has documented the results of their review of the Clinton Fire Protection Program in the Clinton Safety Evaluation Report (SER) issued in February 1982, SER Supplement 1 issued in July 1982, and SER Supplement 3 issued in May 1984. The SER and its supplements reported that the Fire Protection Program was acceptable based on the information provided and commitments which were made. Additionally, several deviations to the fire protection regulations were granted in these documents for design features which provided an equivalent level of protection.
Additional staff positions and clarification developed by NRC regarding 10 CFR 50 Appendix R have been addressed in this reevaluation. This reevaluation has, therefore, assessed previous commitments to assure that an adequate level of fire protection has been provided.
1.4 EVALUATION 1.4.1 Introduction This review was made to compare the original 1978 submittal to the NRC with respect to current plant design considering current requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R as updated by NRC staff positions and clarifications, i.e., Generic Letter 85-01.
1.4.2 Reevaluation task force To accomplish the task, IPC's Clinton Architect-Engineer, Sargent & Lundy, assigned Mr.
Richard Pollock as project leader for the reevaluation. The project team consisted of individuals from Architectural, Mechanical, Project Management, Mechanical Design and Drafting, HVAC, Nuclear Safeguards & Licensing, and Electrical Project Engineering Divisions. A third party independent review by a qualified fire protection consultant was provided by Mr. Kenneth W.
Dungan, P.E., President, Professional Loss Control (PLC). Heading up Illinois Power's review of the project were Mr. Robert T. Kerestes, P.E., Project Manager - Fire Protection and Mr. Ram P. Bhat, P.E., supervisor of IPC's HVAC and Fire Protection Engineering and a qualified fire protection engineer.
1.5 ASSUMPTIONS/DEFINITIONS 1.5.1 Assumptions This fire hazards analysis was based on the following assumptions:
- a. Fire areas are bounded by fire barriers rated at least 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> except for specifically identified fire barriers which have been evaluated and justified as adequate in the Safe Shutdown Analysis. Exterior walls to fire areas are not fire rated unless there is an exterior exposure hazard.
- b. Fire zones are subdivisions of fire areas defining natural divisions in fire areas for the purpose of discussion.
1.5.2 Definitions Fire loadings are categorized in the Clinton Power Station as follows:

CPS/USAR Classification Fireload (BTU/ft2) Fire Severity (min) negligible less than or equal to 1,000 less than or equal to 0.75 low below 40,000 below 30 moderate 40,000 to 152,000 30 to 114 high above 152,000 above 114
- The classification of negligible quantities of combustibles is limited to use in Transient Combustible Free Zones (TCFZs) as follows:
- a. the amount of identified transient combustible materials does NOT impact the fire zone classification (i.e., changing the fire zone from Low to Moderate or Moderate to High); and
- b. the amount of identified transient combustible materials does NOT impact any "adequate for the hazard" fire barrier justifications; and
- c. limits the intervening combustibles to negligible quantity of combustibles of no more than 1,000 Btu/ft2 calculated to the square footage of the TCFZs, thereby ensuring there is insufficient heat potential to propagate a fire to the cold side.
(Note: there are two exceptions: 737 Control and 751 Control TCFZs are limited to 700 BTU/ft2 due to impacts on the fire zone classification); and
- d. either of the following:
- i. limits the intervening combustibles to incidental as-found transient combustibles (i.e., inadvertently or accidentally left in a TCFZ); or, ii. requires transient combustible material to be maintained in an arrangement/configuration that does not support a propagation path across the zone.
1.6 FIRE HAZARDS ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY A systematic approach was taken for evaluating and protecting plant fire hazards. Fire areas were defined to establish separation criteria for safe shutdown division and safety related equipment. Fire areas are further divided into zones using natural divisions for the purposes of describing plant construction features, equipment, fire hazards, and protection. The hazards contained in plant fire zones were identified by quantifying the amount, type, and nature of the combustibles in the zone. Conservative methodology was used to quantify the contributions of cable insulation and lubricants to the combustible loading. The likelihood and type of potential transient combustibles were considered in the selection and level of fire protection provided.
Fire protection provided for each fire zone was evaluated and described in this report, including Figures FP-1 through FP-36a/b which show zone boundaries, fire barriers, fire suppression, and areas established as Transient Combustible Free Zones (placement of transient combustible material in these areas without prior approval and additional compensatory measures is PROHIBITED in modes, 1, 2, and 3). See additional information regarding "Negligible" quantities of combustibles in TCFZs in Section 1.5.
The information accumulated in this analysis was used as input for the SSA to verify that a fire anywhere in the plant will not prevent safe shutdown. This information was also used to evaluate compliance with NRC fire protection guidelines, as documented in Chapter 4.0.

CPS/USAR 2.0 FIRE PROTECTION EVALUATION REPORT (FPER) PROCEDURES 2.1 PROCEDURES FOR CONTINUING UPDATE OF FPER The impact of plant design modifications on the FPER and the SSA will be assessed as part of plant design review and safety evaluation procedures. The FPER will be updated as required to reflect changes resulting from design modifications, backfits, or completion of work in progress.
Procedures in use provide instructions and responsibilities for processing the proposed changes and amendments to the FPER and SSA. Revisions will be issued to the FPER and SSA to incorporate changes as necessary as part of the USAR update.
APPENDIX E E2.1-1 REV. 11, JANUARY 2005
CPS/USAR 3.0 FIRE HAZARDS ANALYSIS 3.1 GENERAL 3.1.1 Introduction This section of the report contains the results of the fire hazards analysis as required by Sections A.2 and D.1(b) of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1. These results have been utilized in reevaluating the existing fire protection program and in providing a basis for the comparison of this program with the guidelines of Appendix A, as given in Section 4.0 of this report.
The applicable NFPA Codes were used as guidelines in the design and construction of Clinton's fire protection features.
3.1.2 General Plant Description 3.1.2.1 Introduction The information developed in this report is for the Clinton Power Station, a GE BWR/6 boiling water reactor.
The containment design employs the drywell/pressure suppression features of the GE BWR-Mark III containment concept. The containment is a right cylindrical, reinforced concrete, steellined pressure vessel with a hemispherical dome.
3.1.2.2 Building Design Information on the composition of materials making up the structural elements in the plant and fire resistance ratings obtained from results of tests on rated materials are presented in this section. In addition, data for untested materials which are given as equivalent ratings were obtained by extrapolating results of related fire tests. The fire rating is established according to the elements of walls, floor and roof slabs, or ceiling slabs comprising each fire area or zone.
The fire barrier rating is established based upon an analysis of structural materials and penetration seals. Penetrations include: access openings and clearance for deflection as well as HVAC, electrical, mechanical, and plumbing. The fire ratings given in this section take into consideration structural members and protective coverings. Where noted in Subsection 3.1.2.2, the term "fire classification" refers to the surface burning characteristics of the material as determined by the standard test method outlined in ASTM E84.
3.1.2.2.1 Concrete The concrete used in the construction of walls, floor slabs, and ceiling or roof slabs was a mix of cement, sand, water, and carbonate-type aggregate. Test results of Portland Cement Association Development Laboratories indicate that a 5-3/4-inch-thick concrete slab used as either a floor, wall, or roof will provide a 3-hour fire rated barrier.
According to "Reports of Fire Tests of Reinforced Concrete Slabs and Beam Floors," by Underwriters' Laboratories, Inc., tests R3390-5 and R3390-17, a 6-inch-thick concrete slab with a 1-inch protection to steel reinforcement has a 3-hour rating. Removable concrete floor and roof slabs assemblies have not been tested but based on related data are equivalent to a 3-hour APPENDIX E E3.1-1 REV. 11, JANUARY 2005
CPS/USAR rated barrier when they have a 3-inch minimum bearing in the direction of the span, with a maximum 6-inch by 1/4-inch thick exposed steel plate frame. Watertight removable slabs are sealed with silicone caulk.
3.1.2.2.2 Concrete Block Hollow concrete block used in construction of fire barrier masonry walls and as a fire resistive covering on steel beams and columns conforms to the requirements of ASTM C-90, Grade N, Type 1, Moisture Controlled Units. These blocks are 2-cell units manufactured of normal weight limestone aggregate. Walls are constructed using 3/8 inch-thick horizontal and vertical mortar joints with steel truss-type continuous reinforcing placed in every second course.
Test results based on equivalent thicknesses in accordance with Underwriters Laboratories UL618 "Standard for Concrete Masonry Units" indicate that the nominal 8- x 8- x 16- inch concrete block units will provide a 1.9-hour fire rated barrier and the nominal 6- x 8- x 16-inch blocks will provide a 1-hour fire rated wall. Similarly, by extrapolation, the nominal 12- x 8- x 16-inch concrete block will provide a 3-hour fire-rated barrier.
Solid concrete blocks (75% net cross-sectional area) used in the construction of walls conform to the requirements of ASTM C-145, Grade N, Type 1, Moisture Controlled Units. These blocks are manufactured of normal weight limestone aggregate and test results from the National Concrete Masonry Association indicate that both a nominal 8- x 8- x 16-inch and 12- x 8- x 16-inch block will provide a 3-hour fire rated barrier.
3.1.2.2.3 Precast Concrete Channel Roof Slabs Precast concrete channel roof slabs are composed of Portland Cement and lightweight aggregate, and conform to the requirements of the American Concrete Institute Document 525-
- 63. Slabs are "channel" design, 24 inches wide, having 3-1/2-inch thick reinforced concrete legs, and a 1-1/4-inch thick concrete web reinforced with steel welded wire fabric, and are anchored to supporting steel members with metal clips. Since the precast channel slabs are used only in conjunction with a complete roof assembly, the fire protection considerations are more directly related to the data presented in Subsection 3.1.2.2.5.
3.1.2.2.4 Siding The exterior insulated siding wall system is constructed of a fluted metal exterior sheet, flat liner panels, insulation, and subgirts. The following systems are based on information from H. H.
Robertson, the manufacturer.
Fluted metal exterior sheet is constructed of steel with a minimum 22 gauge, 28- to 40 inch width and 1-1/2-inch depth of fluting. Protection of siding is Galbestos, with asphalt-impregnated felt applied with metallic adhesive and resin base coating. The exterior siding fire classification is: flame spread 45, fuel contribution 10, and smoke developed 35-180. The corrugated closures are premolded neoprene.
Flat liner panels are constructed with a minimum 20 gauge galvanized steel, 24-inch width, and 1-3/8-inch depth, ASTM 525, rating G60 JLA 60. Joints are concealed with interlocking male and female side joints with factory applied sponge neoprene vapor seal or continuous caulking.
Sealing tape is PT1 Part T-301, 606 architectural tape, 1/8-inch thick by 1/2-inch depth consisting of two or three strips. The liner panel fire classification is: flame spread 5, fuel APPENDIX E E3.1-2 REV. 11, JANUARY 2005
CPS/USAR contribution 0, smoke developed 0. The neoprene, caulking, and PT1 tape is not present in significant amounts.
Insulation is fibrous glass minimum weight 1.5 pcf and minimum thickness 1-1/2 inches. The insulation classification is: flame spread 20, fuel contribution 5, smoke developed 5. The classification for the seal caulking is unavailable.
The exterior uninsulated siding wall in the building is typically constructed with fluted metal exterior sheets and subgirts. Construction is identical to the insulated siding with the exception that there is no insulation or liner panels and all joints are continuously caulked. The gas control boundary of the containment building is identical to exterior insulated siding, with liner panels being a part of the construction except that there is no insulation.
The interior uninsulated siding wall is constructed of flat liner panels. Construction of the liner panel is identical to the construction of liner panels in the exterior insulated siding, as discussed above.
3.1.2.2.5 Roofing Roofing systems on precast concrete slabs, poured concrete, and/or metal decking are in accordance with the requirements of Underwriters' Laboratories for "Class A" roof coverings.
The roofing assembly over metal decking meets the requirements of the Factory Mutual System for Class 1 construction. Roofing systems consist of a vapor barrier, insulation and other materials (chipped rock, pavers, asphalt, etc.) which are installed over non combustible roof decking of the permanent structures.
3.1.2.2.6 Structural Steel Fireproofing Where designated on the drawings, exposed structural steel beams and columns within fire areas or zones have been provided with a fire-resistive coating. This coating is "Cafcote H" cementitious material produced by U.S. Mineral Products Company, or its approved equal, and provides the exposed steel with a 3-hour rated fire protection. In addition to this steel, some exposed steel columns also located within fire areas or zones have been encased in "Firecode" gypsum wallboard rather than coated with the "Cafcote H" product. This wallboard assembly provides a 3-hour fire protection rating to the steel columns.
3.1.2.2.7 Suspended Ceilings The suspended ceilings are constructed primarily of noncombustible materials with the suspension systems fabricated of galvanized metal main runners and interlocking cross tees and minimum 12-gauge annealed wire hangers. Ceiling tiles are 3/4-inch-thick, 12- x 12-inch square noncombustible mineral fiber with a fire classification of: flame spread 15 and smoke developed 0. Suspended plaster ceilings consist of expanded metal lath attached to galvanized steel channel runners suspended by No. 8 wire hangers. Plaster material is Portland Cement Plaster applied in three coats (brown, scratch, and finish coats) to a thickness (including the metal lath dimension) of 7/8 inch. All suspension and plaster materials are considered to be noncombustible and the finish plaster coat fire classification is: flame spread 10, fuel contribution 0, smoke developed 0.
APPENDIX E E3.1-3 REV. 11, JANUARY 2005
CPS/USAR 3.1.2.2.8 Floor Covering The vinyl floor tile and wall base have a fire classification of: flame spread 30, fuel contribution 0, and smoke developed 415. Since the structural support for the vinyl flooring is a noncombustible concrete slab and the material thickness is only 1/8 inch, the fire classification results are not considered to be significant to this report. The vinyl floor tile and wall base materials have not been tested for potential heat values.
Polyurethane seamless flooring is used for ease of maintenance in areas where radioactive contamination is a possibility. The flooring is manufactured by General Polymers Corp. and has a fire classification of: flame spread 10, fuel contribution 5, smoke developed 0.
Inorganic coating is applied to Class 1 locations inside Containment. A self-leveling epoxy is appied to non-Class 1 locations outside Containment.
Carpeting consisting of low nap carpet tiles is utilized in areas where improved aesthetics, acoustics and general working environment are desired. Carpet tiles will have a nylon face and polyester-vinyl-calcium carbonate based back and a Critical Radiant Flux and Specific Optical Density within the ANI Property Loss Control Guidelines for Electronic Equipment "greater than or equal to 0.45 watts/sq. cm" and "as low as possible, approaching zero" for the respective criteria.
3.1.2.2.9 Fire Doors Access openings in fire barrier walls are closed with fire rated doors or equivalent. These doors carry a 3-hour fire rating or a 1-1/2 hour fire rating. The 1-1/2 hour fire doors when used for stairway access in stairwell enclosure walls have a 450q temperature rise restriction. Other 1-1/2 hour fire doors and 3-hour fire doors do not have any such temperature rise restriction.
Where vision lights were required, they are of a maximum size of 100 in2 in area and are located in 1-1/2 hour fire doors only. Elevator hoistway doors are 1-1/2 hour fire rated doors.
In areas where the danger of flooding exists, watertight bulkhead doors are used. (USAR 3.4.1, Food Protection) Watertight doors installed in some 3-hour walls have not been tested for a fire rating, but are considered at least equivalent to a 3-hour fire door. (SER 9.5.2.2) 3.1.2.2.10 Fire Seals Penetrations through fire barriers such as mechanical piping, external conduit and cable trays, will be sealed with fire rated seals. Internal electrical conduit fire rated seals are not required for electrical conduits which satisfy any of the below criteria:
Conduits that terminate in junction boxes or other noncombustible closure need no additional sealing. Conduits that run through an area but do not terminate in that area need not be sealed in that area.
Conduits smaller than 2" diameter that terminate 1 foot or greater from the barrier need not be sealed.
Open conduits of 2" diameter that terminate 3 feet or greater from the barrier need not be sealed.
Open conduit of greater than 2" in diameter that terminate 3 feet or greater from the barrier and have a cable fill of 40% or greater need not be sealed.
APPENDIX E E3.1-4 REV. 14, JANUARY 2011
CPS/USAR In the case of ventilation ductwork, fire dampers are used within the duct to prevent compromise of the fire barrier integrity of the wall.
Non-load-bearing concrete and concrete block walls are constructed with a gap between the top of the wall and the underside of the ceiling slabs or structural members above the wall.
Depending upon the type of wall construction, this gap varies from 1 to 2 inches. To prevent horizontal transfer of certain loads such as seismic loading from one area or building to another, vertical gaps have also been provided at the ends or intersection of walls in these areas. All such structural gap seal configurations in walls designated as fire barriers are tested in accordance with ASTM-E119 to achieve a fire rating equivalent to the fire barrier.
3.1.2.2.11 Plumbing A floor drain system is installed throughout the plant to drain and convey fire protection water, tank leakage and ruptures, oil leaks, and washdown water to proper points of discharge. The system is designed to have the finish floor slope to the floor drain and the piping sloped at 1/8 inch per foot permitting a 4-inch diameter pipe to have a flow rate of 100 gpm at 2.4 fps and a 6-inch diameter pipe to have a flow rate of 300 gpm at 3.0 fps. Curbs have been provided around pieces of equipment which have oil reservoirs or where oil is stored to minimize the effect of an oil leak or spill.
Effluents from the floor drain system are discharged through oil separators, and the separated oil flows to fixed or portable oil storage tanks. Tanks are sized to hold the largest probable quantity of oil anticipated for storage.
The drainage system from the turbine oil reservoir room, the dirty and clean oil room (radwaste building), and the seal oil unit (turbine building) are discharged to exterior oil separators.
Drainage, which is potentially radioactive, discharges to the liquid radwaste system where it is analyzed and processed.
3.1.2.2.12 Ventilation Fire Dampers Where ducts penetrate fire barriers, fire damper sleeve assemblies are provided to maintain the fire barrier's integrity. A sleeve assembly is composed of a sheet metal sleeve with perimeter angles enclosing a fire damper. The perimeter angles are placed flush with the fire barrier and protect the opening provided for expansion between the fire damper sleeve assembly and the wall opening. The enclosed fire damper has a rating of 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> which is greater than or equal to the fire barrier for both vertical and horizontal installations. The fire dampers are automatic; once closed they can only be opened manually. Deviations from the installation of fire dampers in fire barriers are identified and justified in the Safe Shutdown Analysis.
3.1.2.3 Electrical Cable Trays, Conduits, Panels, and Fire Stops Steel cable trays are provided throughout the station. Generally the cable trays have solid bottoms and are uncovered except for instrumentation cable trays, which have solid covers.
Sometimes open-bottom, ladder-type cable trays are used to facilitate cable entry to equipment such as switchgear and motor control centers. Cable trays are used only for cables.
Conservative energy contribution values (BTU/lb) were selected for the several types of cable insulation. Heat content values (BTU/ft) were then calculated for various cable types based on each cable's non-conductor weight.
APPENDIX E E3.1-5 REV. 11, JANUARY 2005
CPS/USAR The length of each tray-routed cable within each firezone was determined by either 1) the cable tabulation computer program based on distances between cable route points, or 2) tray length within that firezone as shown on cable tray route drawings.
Each tray-routed cable's heat load (BTU) contribution in the event of a fire in a given firezone was then determined by multiplying its length (ft) within that firezone by its heat content (BTU/ft).
Heat loads from all cables within a given firezone were summed to determine the total heat load (BTU) from tray-routed cable, which is an input to the fireload analysis.
Steel conduits are used throughout the station. Generally, the conduits are rigid steel except for lighting, communication, and fire detection cabling, which is in EMT conduit. Flexible metal conduits are used throughout the station, but only in short lengths to connect nonflexible conduit to equipment. Conduits are used only for cables.
The energy contributed during a fire by cables routed in conduits was considered negligible and was not included in determining the fire loading in each fire zone.
3.1.2.4 Ventilation Systems Once-through ventilation systems are provided for the turbine building, containment building, fuel building, radwaste building, machine shop, and general areas of the auxiliary, control, and diesel-generator buildings. These systems are non-safety-related except for isolation functions on the containment building and fuel building systems. These systems provide conditioned air to their respective buildings to obtain a minimum air change requirement, maintain the air flow from radioactively clean areas to areas of progressively greater radioactive contamination, and assist in heat removal. Air from potentially radioactive areas is exhausted through the common station HVAC vent where it is monitored for radiation.
The safety-related diesel-generator ventilation system, which operates when the diesel generator operates, is a once-through system which provides air for the diesel-generator, day tank, and oil tank rooms. The supply air is kept within design temperatures by mixing outdoor and return air, and is ducted to the diesel-generator room, then recirculated or exhausted to the outside.
The diesel-generator makeup system, which operates during normal plant conditions, is also a once-through system providing air to the diesel-generator, day tank, and oil tank rooms. The supply air is conditioned by heating and cooling coils, and is ducted to the diesel-generator room and then staged to the day tank and oil tank rooms and then exhausted.
The diesel-generator ventilation system also contains exhaust fans, which exhaust air from the day tank and oil tank rooms. These fans run continuously.
The diesel-generator ventilation system (including the exhaust fans) is safety-related, and a separate system is provided for each divisional diesel. The diesel-generator makeup system is non-safety-related, and one system is provided for three diesel generator rooms.
Room ventilation fans are stopped, and appropriate isolation dampers are closed whenever a CO2 fire protection system is actuated in the diesel-generator rooms. The room ventilation system can be manually restarted only after the CO2 system is reset.
APPENDIX E E3.1-6 REV. 11, JANUARY 2005
CPS/USAR Recirculation type systems are provided for the ECCS pump rooms, shutdown service water pump rooms and switchgear rooms. These systems are safety-related. A separate HVAC system is provided for each divisional equipment room associated with the areas. The recirculation systems provide heat removal while a small quantity of fresh air is purged through each equipment room for ventilation.
The control room HVAC system provides redundant safety-related cooling and ventilation to the control room and associated support facilities. The system normally operates in a recirculation mode with outdoor air introduced. The purge mode of the system can be manually activated by handswitch on the main control board to provide 100% outdoor air and exhaust 100% room air for control of smoke and combustible products. Additionally, ionization detectors in the return air and minimum outside air intake ducts automatically align the control room HVAC system to preclude significant entry of smoke from inside or outside the plant, by putting into service the control room HVAC recirculation air filter packages (See USAR Section 9.4.1.4 for smoke mode testing description).
The laboratory area of the control building is ventilated by a conventional HVAC system using a mixture of outdoor and return air. Isolation dampers are provided for each exhaust hood to permit laboratory personnel to stop air flow through the hood if a fire develops in the hood working area.
Fire dampers are discussed in Subsection 3.1.2.2.12.
Heat and smoke vents are provided in the turbine building roof. These vents will automatically open in case of a fire by melting of a fusible link. Also, these vents, except Vent #23, can be opened locally by manual releases or by remote manual hand switch operation from the main control room. In addition, large overhead rolling doors may be activated to open from the main control room to provide air inlet area.
3.1.2.5 Fire Detection System The fire detection system for the station consists of a low-voltage, microprocessor-based Pyrotronics XL-3 panels (1H13-P841 in the Main Control Room and 1FP43J in the Auxiliary Electrical Equipment Room) and terminal located in the main control room, which is connected to automatic fire detectors, local panels, and service water fire protection system flow switches throughout the station. Additional details on the Fire Detection System are provided in USAR Section 9.5.1.2.2.
3.1.2.6 Fire Protection Water Supply System The fire protection water supply system consists of pumps, underground yard water mains, inside building water mains, and isolation valves. Additional details of the Fire Protection Water Supply System are provided in USAR Section 9.5.1.2.2.3.
3.1.2.7 Water Sprinkler and Hose Standpipe Systems The fire protection water sprinkler systems and hose standpipes have branch connections to the main loop. Additional details on the Water Sprinkler and Hose Standpipe Systems are provided in USAR Section 9.5.1.2.2.4.
APPENDIX E E3.1-7 REV. 17, OCTOBER 2015
CPS/USAR 3.1.2.8 Halon Suppression Systems Halon suppression systems are total flooding and local application type systems. A sufficient quantity of Halon will be automatically discharged into the enclosure to provide a uniform fire-extinguishing concentration of agent. The Halon agent is stored outside of the protected zone, but may be stored inside the fire area. Additional details on the Halon Suppression Systems are provided in USAR Section 9.5.1.2.2.5.
3.1.2.9 Carbon Dioxide Suppression System Carbon dioxide suppression systems are provided for the diesel-generator set rooms, and the main turbine-generator exciter bearing housings. These systems are automatic initiation, low-pressure type systems. Additional details on the Carbon Dioxide Suppression System are provided in USAR Section 9.5.1.2.2.6.
3.1.2.10 Portable Extinguishers UL listed/FM approved portable extinguishers of appropriate classification are utilized in the Clinton Power Station. General placement of the extinguishers is indicated on the fire hazards analysis drawings included with this report. The extinguishers are located based on the fire hazards in the area. Extinguisher location provides easy accessibility near paths of travel, entrances, and exits, as well as high visibility. Additional details onPortable Extinguishers are provided in USAR Section 9.5.1.2.2.9.
3.1.2.11 Turbine Building Class 1E Cables The turbine building is classified as a non-safety-related, non-seismic building, although it does house some Class 1E electrical cables (in conduits) as well as instrumentation devices. These cables and devices provide inputs to the solid-state protection system for reactor trip or perform functions initiated by the protection system. The principal function of these devices is to provide anticipatory trip for the reactor based upon secondary system parameters. If these cables and/or devices failed, other parameters not measured in the turbine building would provide the necessary signal to shut down the reactor. Thus, no credit has been taken in the Safe Shutdown Analysis for the parameter measurements taken in the turbine building since the loss of these cables and/or devices will not inhibit safe shutdown of the plant.
On this basis, the turbine building and all equipment and systems in the building are considered nonessential for the safe shutdown of the plant.

CPS/USAR 3.2 AUXILIARY BUILDING 3.2.1 Fire Area A-1 3.2.1.1 Fire Zone A-1a; Elevation 707- 6 General Access Area (North)
Description The zone consists of a general access area in the basement of the auxiliary building with a floor area of 2112 ft2.
A plan view of this fire zone is shown on Figure FP-2a. Rated barriers, area detection, suppression systems, and major plant equipment are shown on Figure FP-2b. Safety-related cable trays are shown on cable tray Figure 2.
The floor is 9-foot 8-inch concrete on grade with five 4-inch floor drains routed to a sump located within the zone. The floor is not fire rated. The walls are 18-inch minimum concrete or 19-5/8-inch minimum solid concrete block. The walls are 3-hour fire rated. The ceiling is 16-inch minimum concrete with areas of removable concrete slabs and an open stairwell. The ceiling is not fire rated.

Safety-Related Equipment None.
Radiological Materials The charcoal adsorbers process radioactive off-gases and contain radioactive material.
No credible hypothetical fires in the off-gas system could produce doses to the public above those calculated using very conservative assumptions. The charcoal vessel volume is 5 feet in diameter and 20 feet long. However, in the event a fire should occur, a very conservative analysis would assume a release of 100% of the iodine from a fire in the first charcoal bed (this also conservatively assumes the loss of function of the subsequent charcoal beds), and 100%
of the noble gas source term passes through the station exhaust stack. The off-gas system charcoal beds are in steel vessels. However, in the unlikely event that the system integrity is not maintained, the results of this analysis would not be changed, since the off-gas charcoal beds are located in the off-gas filter building, and the off-gas filter building HVAC would exhaust through the station exhaust stack. Assuming a fumigation accident meteorology consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.3, the resultant calculated radiological consequences at the exclusion area boundary are 320 mrem thyroid and 65 mrem whole body. These postulated doses are well within 10 CFR 100 limits.

with the intent to minimize the fire hazard.
Most of the materials used in the original construction were within the limits of 25 when tested in accordance with the ASTM E-84 protocol. When replacement or new materials are selected, the fire hazard characteristics are reviewed using the results of appropriate testing. The fire test may be other than ASTM E-84, depending on the intended form and application of the material at CPS. For example, floor coverings will be evaluated and accepted if the critical radiant flux, tested in accordance with NFPA 253/ASTM E-648, is 0.45 watts/sq.cm. or greater and the maximum specific optical smoke density, tested in accordance with NFPA 258, is less than 450.
Floor coverings in areas containing systems or equipment required for safe shutdown of the plant are generally Class I material as defined in NFPA 101, or generally a flame spread rating of 25 or less as defined in ASTM E-84. For fire hazard analysis purposes, floor coatings are considered non-combustible if the material has a structural base of non-combustible material, with a nominal depth not APPENDIX E E4.1-13 REV. 19, OCTOBER 2017
BTP APCSB 9.5-1, APPENDIX A, PLANTS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATING PLANTS APPLICANT'S POSITION over 1/8 inch thick, and has a flame spread rating not higher than 50 as defined in ASTM E-84. Exceptions to these guidelines are evaluated for acceptability by Engineering on a case-by-case basis.
Consistent with the guidelines of NUREG 0800, Revision 2, Section 9.5.1, the following materials are acceptable for use as interior finish without evidence of test and listing by a nationally recognized laboratory.
Plaster, acoustic plaster, gypsum plasterboard (gypsum; wallboard) either plain, wall-papered, orpainted with oil-or water-based paint; Ceramic tile, ceramic panels: Glass, glass blocks; Brick, stone, concrete blocks, plain or painted; Steel and aluminum panels, plain, or enameled; Vinyl tile, vinyl-asbestos tile, linoleum, or asphalt on concrete floors.
The noncombustible materials used at CPS are concrete and steel structural and radiation shielding materials, and the reflective metallic installation installed inside the drywell.
The following are examples of com-bustible materials utilized at CPS.
Silicone foam sealant is used for sealing penetrations through walls and floors. Fiberglass insulation with metal lagging or fiberglass blanket insulation is used for hot piping. Fiberglass insulation with white craft paper and foil reinforced with glass yarns is used for cold piping. HVAC ductwork is insulated with fiberglass insulation with white craft paper and foil reinforced vapor barrier. Foam plastic insulation is used for cold pipe insulation inside the containment and drywell and for insulating cold equipment. Phenolic foam insulation is used for piping APPENDIX E E4.1-14 REV. 19, OCTOBER 2017
