These specifications will assure that in the event of inoperabic fire protection equipnent, corrective action will be initiated in order to maintain fire protection capabilities during all modes of reactor operation.

The pnps in the fire water suppression system have a capacity of 2000 GPM each assuring an adequate supply of water to fire suppression systems. Fire suppression water system operability as defined in 3.12.B.1 applies only as pertains to specification 3.12 and is not applicable to other specifications.

Hose stations are provided for manual fire suppression. In the event that a hose station becomes inoperable, additional' fire suppression equignent will be provided such as portable extinguishers or other means of fire suppression.
