| 05000348/FIN-2018011-01 | 2018Q3 | Farley | Failure to ensure fire barrier penetrations (including fire dampers) in fire zones protecting safety-related areas shall be functional in accordance with NFPA 805 Section 3.11.3, Fire Barrier Penetrations | The NRC identified a Green finding and associated non-cited violation (NCV) of the Farleys Renewed Operating License Condition 2.C.(4) Fire Protection for U1 and 2.C.(6) Fire Protection for U2. This finding was identified for failure to maintain all provisions of the approved FPP, as described in NFPA 805, 2001 Edition to ensure that all fire barrier penetrations (including fire dampers) in fire zones protecting safety-related areas shall be functional. The functional failure of the two fire dampers in the A and B SWIS Battery Rooms was a performance deficiency and determined to be more-than-minor because it affected the Reactor Safety Mitigating Systems cornerstone attribute of protection against external factors, a fire, and it affected the fire protection Defense in Depth (DID) strategies involving the confinement of fires and to protect systems important to safety. Additionally, if left uncorrected, the issue could potentially lead to a more significant safety concern during fire events. |
