W.P. Stewart Subscribed and sworn to before me, a Notary Public in and for the State and County above named, this 26th day of January,1979.

Notary g5sblic Notary Public, State of Florida at Large, My Commission Expires: July 25, 1980

e Question 23 - Prevention of Fire and Smoke Spread Describe the manner in which fire and smoke are prevented from spreading from area to area via the normal and emergency ventilation systems in all parts of the plant areas. Describe the location, actuation method and fire rating of dampers used for fire and smoke control in both air supply and return air systems. Describe the details of interlocks for ventilation system shutdown or mode change that can be utilized for ire and smoke control.

RESPONSE

The ventilation systems are described in the Florida Power Corporation submittal entitled Fire Protection Program Review, June 1977, pages 5-29 through 5-36. As discussed therein, the ventilation systems for the auxiliary building and the intermediate building operate only in a once through mode. Smoke removed from any area in those buildings by the ventilation system will be exhausted to the outside, not spread within the building. Air from the turbine building, which is also ventilated in the once through mode , is exhausted to the outside via ventilators, louvers, and windows. The control complex ventilation system switches to a once through mode upon detection of smoke in the ducts, or under manual control. Rated fire dampers in ventilation ducts penetrating fire walls in the control complex also assist in preventing the spread of smoke and fire within the control complex.

Question 30 - Fire Suppression System Design Provide the design data for all automatic suppression systems (both existing and proposed) including such items as design densities, soak times, power supplies and associated alarms. Identify areas of noncompliance with appropriate NFPA standards.

RESPONSE

The requested information is given for existing systems in section 5.3.3 of the Florida Power Corporation submittal entitled Fire Protection Program Review, June 1977, with the following additional information: design densities are 0.25 gpm/sqf t for the deluge system for the transformers, turbine lube oil piping and reservoirs, hydrogen seal unit, and main feedwater pumps. Soak time for maintenance of a 5% halon concentration in the cable spreading room for a 20 minute time period was demonstrated by preoperational test. As of this date Florida Power Corporation has not committed to install any additional automatic suppression systems at CR 3.

Should any automatic fire suppression system be required to resolve the outstanding concerns expressed by your staf f, FPC will supply the information required by Question 30 at that time.

Question 56 When will the results of the planned cable fire tests be provided (Page 5-9)?

RESPONSE

See attached report.

4 Question 68 Provide information on the plant breathing air supply, per the requirements of Apper. dix A to BTP 9.5-1.

RESPONSE

5.3.5 Ventilation There are separate ventilation systems for the Reactor Building, the Auxiliary Building, the Control Comples, the Intermediate Building, the Turbine Building, the Diesel Generator Building, and the Fire Service Pump House. These systems are discussed individually in the follcwing sections.

5.3.5.1 Reactor Building Ventilation System The flow diagram of Reactor Building ventilation systems is ahown in Figure 5-14. The ventilation systems (1) cool and recirculate air in the Reactor Building, and (2) provide capability of purging the building by exhausting air from it to the outside through the plant vent and supplying outside air into the building. The Reactor Building air is cooled and recirculated by three fan-cooler units (two normally operating) which draw air from various locations in the building, discharging it into the large open space above the operating floor. Emergency cooling of the Reactor Building is performed using the same equipment. Under post-accident emergency conditions, the units will operate at reduced speed. The fan motors are two-speed , pipe-ve. tilated units with air-to-water heat exchangers. They are capable of operation under accident conditions of 281*F and 68.3 psia.

Local area ventilation is provided for the operating floor by booster fans which supply air through supply ducts. Two booster fans (one normally operating) also supply air to the steam generator compartments. Cool air to the reactor cavity is supplied by one of two 100%-capacity fan-cooler units. There are twelve exhaust fans to exhaust air from the control-rod-drive shroud area.

The purge system provides mear.s for the reduction of concentrations of airborne radioactivity in the Reactor Building. It is operated only as required. The system is designed to remove up to 50,000 cfm air from the Reactor Building and supply an equal amount of outside air. Roughing, absolute, and charcoal filters are provided in the purge exhaust to remove radioactive particulates and iodine from the air prior to discharge.

The Reactor Building purge exhaust duct contains detectors for products of combustion, temperature and radioactivity. Upon detection of either products of combustion or excessive temperature, the Reactor Building purge fan is stopped by an interlock, and an alarm sounded in the control room.

Interlocks are provided to close the purge exhaust valves in the event of excessive particulate, gaseous or iodine activity. The Reactor Building purge supply air is filtered and monitored for combustible gases and products of combution. Detection of either causes the purge supply fans to stop and sounds a control room alarm. Purge system fans, filters and instrumentation are located outside the containment.

5.3.5.2 Auxiliary Building Ventilation The Auxiliary Building contains equipment and components which could be sources of airborne radioactivity as well as other equipment and components which would not. Its ventilation system is of the once-through type in which outside air is taken into the building and distributed to the various areas, then collected, filtered and dishearged to the outside. The flow diagram is shown in Figures 5-14 and 5-15.

The Auxiliary Building ventilation supply consists of a supply system for each of the spent fuel pit and the fuel handling areas, along with a supply subsystem which supplies outside air to the other areas. The Auxiliary Building supply system consists of a particulate filter, two 50%-capacity fans, and ductwork. Outside air is drawn into the system and distributed to the various areas of the building. The fuel handling area supply subsystem consists of a particulate filter and a fan which brings in outside air. The spent fuel pit supply consists of two fans each of 100%

capacity.

Within the Auxiliary Building, there are subsystems to cool air within the building and direct it into the compartments containing the spent fuel coolant pumps and the decay heat closed cycle cooling water pumps. There is also a small fan to recirculata air in the area containing the airlock which provides personnel access to the Reactor Building.

The Auxiliary Building main exhaust subsystem consists of ductwork to collect air from the various compartments and areas throughout the building, particulate, absolute and charcoal filters and four exhaust fans each of 50% capacity. Exhaust air from the controlled access area of the Control Complex (el. 95') is handled by this subsystem.

All air from the Auxiliary Building ventilation system is filtered by the particulate and charcoal filters, then exhausted to the atmosphere through the plant vent from a point near the top of the cylindrical section of the containment. Intakes to the system are located on the sides of the Auxiliary Building.

5.3.5.3 Control Complex The Control Complex is divided for purposes of ventilation into two zones, the controlled access area (el. 95') and the remainder of the building.

The flow diagram is shown in Figure 5-16. Except for the controlled access area and the top floor of the Control Complex (which contains the ventilation equipment for the complex), the Control Complex ventilation is of the recirculating type, but may be converted to once-through by operation of dampers. Air is supplied to the various areas by either the normal duty supply units or the emergency supply subsystem. The normal duty units consist of particulate filters and fans, while particulate

. filters, absolute filters, and charcoal filters, and fans make up the emergency supply subsystem.

Supply air is heated or cooled as necessary, then distributed to the various areas of the complex. Air from those areas with recirculation capability is returned by Control Complex return fans. Powe r-ope rated dampers are provided to allow recirculation from the return fans to the WPS/hewWO4 (D7)

supply system or to exhaust all taturn air and to supply only outside air to the Control Complex. The outside air intake and discharge points are on the Control Complex roof, separated by a distance of more than forty feet.

The upper floor of the Control Complex has a relief fan system which exhausts ventilation air from this area to the atmosphere at a point on the roof well separated from the intake.

The controlled access area (parts of which may contain radioactivity) receives air from the Control Complex supply system. Air is also supplied to the exhaust and sample hoods from the Turbine Building by a supply fan.

Air from the controlled access area is collected and directed by exhaust fans to the Auxiliary Building exhaust system for filtering and discharge.

The Control Complex is equipped with UL-approved, three-hour-rated fire dampers to isolate the various areas. Closure of these dampers is initiated by a fusible link upon the occurrence of high temperature at the dampe r. These dampers are also arranged to be automatically closed by products-of-combustion and/or temperature detectors, as descried in Section 5.3.3.1 and Table 5-3. Upon actuation of one of these detectors, an electric circuit is closed, melting the fusible link of its associated damper, thereby allowing it to close. Rooms are isolated by automatic closure of dampers in the supply and return air ducts upon detection of fire by a detector either in the room or in the return air duct. A control room alarm is also initiated. All dampers in the cable spreading room ducts are also automatically closed in the event the Halon system is initated.

The Control Complex ventilation system normally operates in the recirculation mode (except for the controlled access area) with outside air supplied as required to make up for the air exhausted from the controlled access area. If an engineered safeguards signal occurs, dampers are actuated to stop the supply of air to the controlled access area and place the remainder of the Control Complex in a full recirculation mode. Upon detection of radioactivity in the Control Complex atmosphere exceeding a present level, an emergency supply unit is started and the normal duty units stopped and isolated. This routes the supply air through the HEPA and charcoal filters in the supply units prior to its return to the Control Complex arecs.

A POC detector in the return air system automatically changes the system to once-through, exhausting all return air to the outside. A control room alarm is also initiated.

Another P0C detector in the air inlet duct to the Control Complex closes a fire damper in the duct and initiates a control room alarm in the event that products of combustion are detected in the incoming air.

A products-of-combustion detector in the controlled access exhaust hood supply fan intake closes a damper in that duct on detection of fire, and initiates a control room alarm.

WPS/hewWO4 (D7)

4 5.3.5.4 Intermediate Building Ventilation System The Intermediate Building, which houses the emergency feedwater pumps, main steam isolation valves, and Reactor Building purge supply equipment, has a once-through ventilation system. Air is supplied by two 100%-capacity supply fans, first passing through a particulate filter. It passes first through the emergency feedwater pump room, then through the remainder of the Intermediate Building, and is exhausted by two 100%-capacity fans.

There are fire dampers in the air intake and between the pump room and the remainder of the Intermediate Building. The fir damper in the air intake is closed automatically either by its fusible link or upon detection of high temperature by a temperature detector in the air intake. The dampers where the air leaves the pump room are closed by the dampers' fusible link or upon detection of high temperature in the pump room. A products-of-combustion detector is also provided in the pump room. The temperature and POC detectors also initiate control room alarms.

5.3.5.5 Turbine Building The Turbine Building has nine supply fans, with fire dampers located in the intakes. Each damper automatically closes upon high temperature in its fan discharge, or by the fusible link in the damper. Turbine Building air is exhausted through gravity ventilators, windows and wall louvers.

Thermavent gravity roof dampers are provided for the Turbine Building roof.

The dampers are equipped with 160*F fusible links.

The Turbine Building switchgear rooms are equipped with a recirculating ventilation system. It consists of two 100%-air-handling units consisting of filters, cooling coils, and fans. The air handling units are connected by ductwork to the switchgear rooms. Supply and return ducts are equipped with fire dampers which close on detection of high return air temperature.

Products-of-combustion detectors are also located in the return air ducts.

Both POC and temperature detectors sound control room alarms.

5.3.5.6 Diesel Generator Rooms Each diesel generator room has two 100%-capacity fans which supply air to the room. The air exhausts through wall louvers. A separate fan circulates air between the diesel control room and the diesel generator room. Fire dampers are provided between each diesel generator room and its control room. A products-of-combustion detector closes the mampers on detection of fire and initiates a control room alarm.

5.3.5.7 Fire Service Pump House The Fire Service Pump House has two 100%-capacity supply fans with a particulate filter which supply outside air. A products-of-combustion detector initiates a control room alarm in the event of fire.

4 SRP Station Ventilation Staff Concern Failure of exhaust ventilation in battery rooms could lead to build-up of explosive hydrogen concentrations.

Staff Position Relocate exhaust ducting to ceiling of battery room. Provide air flow monitoring on battery room exhaust by surveillance or alarm system.

RESPONSE

The batteries are of a type which has a very low hydrogen production rate when under charge. The potential ef fects of loss of ventilation in the battery room has been addressed in the Crystal River Unit 3 Final Safety Analysis Report, Section 8.2.2.6. The FSAR states:

"The Battery chargers normally supply the d-c system load and the float charge to the batteries. The chargers are also capable of supplying a 24-hour equalize charge. The chargers are supplied with a high/ low voltage alarm relay to monitor the d-c system. The high alarm point is set at 137 vde to protect against battery overcharging during normal operation.

" Battery Hydrogen Evolution was calculated under worst case conditions of the battery rooms at a temperature of 77'F and the batteries being overcharged at the high voltage alarm point of 2.35 volts per cell.

The results are as follows:

"1. Under the condition that the battery rooms were completely sealed from outside air it was found that it would require 210 hours0.00243 days <br />0.0583 hours <br />3.472222e-4 weeks <br />7.9905e-5 months <br /> to produce sufficient Hydrogen in the rooms to yield an explosive mixture (four percent by volume). This calculation was completed for comparison basis only as this condition is abnormal to plant ope ration.

"2. Under the condition that the control complex air handling system is in the emergency recirculation mode as described in Section 9.7.2.7.h with 0 percent outside air admission it was found that it would require 6500 hours0.0752 days <br />1.806 hours <br />0.0107 weeks <br />0.00247 months <br /> to produce sufficient Hydrogen in the control complex to yield an explosive mixture (four percent by volume)."

Because of the long time required to build up a flammable concentra-tion of hydrogen, and the surveillance program which requires periodic visits to each battery room, it is concluded that a ventilation flow alarm is not justified.
