* Date Due NRC 4/21/ 84 Event Narrative:
           - Unii. 2 was in a refueling outage; unit 3 was operating at 95-percent power.
Units 2 and 3 were unaffected by this event. With unit 1 operating at 96-percent power, during the performance of Surveillance Instruction (SI) 4.11.A.1.g (Building Hydraulic Performance Verification), it was determined the Station II cable tray fixed spray system did not meet Technical Specifi-cation (T.S.) requirements as shown in Table 3 11. A. There was no effect on public health and safety. A patrolling fire watch was established in accordance with T.S. 3 11.A.2. There are no redundant systems.
The strainer (Fisher Governor Co. , Fre-Flo 260C) to this station was removed, cle,aned, flushed, and the station retested and found to meet T.S. require-ments. The cause was an apparent restriction in the supply line strainer due to a buildup of silt and clam shells. This station was retested within the following 18-months (T.S. frequency is once/3 years) in order to determine if any further changes in performance had occurred.
When retested (January 27, 1984), the unit 1 Station II cable tray fixed spray system again failed to meet T.S. requirements. There was no effect           on public health and safety. A fire watch was established and the strainer            to this station was again removed, cleaned, and flushed. The station was retested and was found to meet T.S. limits. The station was out-of-service approximately six hours. The strainers on this system are routinely back-flushed every month and removed, checked, and cleaned once every three months per Mechanical Maintenance Instruction 122 (High Pressure Fire Protection System Flush, Strainer Inspection, and Strainer Cleaning). No specific problems have been detected based on the inspections. The flow problem identified by surveillance testing appears to affect only Station II.
            "In addition to the routine strainer inspections, Station II will have its strainer remqved, checked, and cleaned every month.         At the next scheduled performance of SI 4.11. A.1.g (June 1985), the effect of tripling the preven-tive maintenance frequency will be investigated.
