As a result of Wolf Creek's 2005 TriennialAs a result of Wolf Creek's 2005 Triennial Fire Protection Inspection, a re-evaluation of concerns described in NRC Information Notice (IN 92-18), 'POTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF REMOTE SHUTDOWN CAPABILITY DURING A CONTROL ROOM FIRE' was performed. During that re-evaluation it was identified that in the event of a fire in the control room, 39 motor operated valves (MOVs) credited for post-fire safe shutdown could potentially fail in an unanalyzed condition. Of those 39 MOVs, failure of 4 of them could potentially prevent achieving and maintaining safe shutdown (SSD) conditions.</br>In the 39 MOV circuits identified above, an intra-cable hot short between one conductor on the hot side of the indication circuit and another conductor on the load side of the control room hand switch could bypass the torque switch and energize either the open or close coil. If this occurs, the open or close contactor will close and the motor will operate in either the open or close direction until the motor stalls, possibly resulting in damage to the valve such that it cannot be manually operated.</br>Present system operability is not affected as there has been no occurrence of a fire in the Control Room and compensatory actions are in place to detect and mitigate the effects of a fire in the Control Room.</br>Actions taken or planned: An hourly fire watch was established in the Control Room due to a previous condition identified on 11/16/2005 in accordance with AP 10-104, Breech procedure. The condition identified today will be referenced on the active Breach Request that was implemented on 11/16/2005.</br>The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.ensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector.  +
