Nuclear Management Company, LLC NMC Committed to Nuclear Excellence Point Beach Nuclear Plant 6610 Nuclear Road Two Rivers, WI 54241 NRC 2002-0095 10 CFR 50.48 October 22, 2002 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Dockets 50-266 and 50-301 Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 Reporting Of Fire Barriers Degraded For More Than Seven Days Enclosed is a 30-day report for Point Beach Nuclear Plant (PBNP), Unit 1 and Unit 2. This report is provided in accordance with the PBNP Fire Protection Evaluation Report (FPER),

Section 8.1.5. That section requires the submittal of a report to the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission when degradation of fire protection systems or components exceeds the time listed in FPER Section 8.1.3. Paragraph C.1.b (4) of that section requires a report if an inoperable fire barrier is not restored to an operable status within a seven-day period.

The damming boards for fire penetration seals M-5-3-29-F05 and M-5-3-29-F1 3 were removed from the penetrations to facilitate the removal and replacement of 4.16 KVA, 1P-28 Main Feed Water Pump, power feeder cables. These penetrations are located in the 3-hr fire rated barrier (floor/ceiling assembly) separating the Vital Switchgear Room (below) from the Non-Vital Switchgear Room (above). Removal of the boards was performed on September 18, 2002.

Final acceptance of the restored seals was performed on September 28 for penetration M-5 29-F5 and on September 29 for penetration M-5-3-29-F1 3, resulting in an out-of-service time of 10 and 11 days, respectively. Appropriate compensatory measures (hourly fire rounds) were initiated and maintained from the time the damming boards were removed until restoration of these seals was complete.

This report contains no new commitments.
