| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 3 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis 1.0 PURPOSE 1.1 The purpose of the Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) is to provide an evaluation of the effects of postulated fires within Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS). The overall intent of the FHA is to demonstrate that any single plant fire will not negatively affect post fire safe shutdown (PFSSD) capability, or result in a radiation release that exceeds 10 CFR Part 20 limits. The analysis was performed to demonstrate that WCGS comparison requirements to 10 CFR 50 Appendix R are satisfied.
| |
| 1.2 This document supersedes the WCGS FHA that was historically maintained within Appendix 9.5B (Sections 9.5B.7 and 9.5B.8) of the USAR.
| |
| 2.0 SCOPE 2.1 FHA for each plant Fire Area identified in Attachment A. This includes all plant areas containing PFSSD equipment/circuits and non-safety plant areas that present a potential exposure hazard to areas containing PFSSD equipment/circuits due to proximity.

| |
| | |
| ===4.2 Background===
| |
| 4.2.1 The NRC originally requested that WCGS perform a fire hazard analysis for the facility in a {{letter dated|date=September 30, 1976|text=letter dated September 30, 1976}}. This letter also requested that a comparison to APCSB 9.5-1 Appendix A be provided. NRC {{letter dated|date=October 21, 1981|text=letter dated October 21, 1981}} requested that WCGS provide a comparison to 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. These requests were addressed via information provided within the following appendices of the SNUPPS Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and WCGS Site Addendum:
| |
| Appendix 9.5A - Comparison to APCSB 9.5-1 Appendix A.
| |
| Appendix 9.5B - Fire Hazards Analysis.
| |
| Appendix 9.5E - Comparison to 10 CFR 50 Appendix R.
| |
| Additionally, a detailed report entitled SNUPPS Control Room Fire Hazard Analysis was submitted to the NRC by letter SLNRC 82-046. This report addressed transient fires originating between various panels in the Control Room.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 6 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis Subsequent to the above Control Room FHA report, the criteria for a Control Room fire was modified by the NRC. In response to these changes, a new detailed report entitled SNUPPS Response Plan for Immediate Evacuation of the Control Room Due to Fire was submitted to the NRC via SLNRC 84-0109.
| |
| NRC questions from the 1977-79 time frame concerning fire protection information within the FSAR and WCGS Site Addendum (including the SNUPPS/Wolf Creek responses to the questions) were documented within FSAR Appendices 9.5C and 9.5D. A future revision to the FHA will provide a reference to the current document addressing the issue of concern. This revision will occur in parallel with the release of the Fire Protection Program Manual, which is being developed in response to PIR 2002-2246.
| |
| Ultimately the FHA and other supporting fire protection within the SNUPPS FSAR and WCGS Site Addendum received NRC approval, as documented in Operating License Condition 2.C.(5)(a).
| |
| Wolf Creek has historically maintained facility fire protection information within what is now termed the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR), which is a consolidation of the SNUPPS FSAR and WCGS Site Addendum. Revisions have been incorporated as necessary to address plant changes, including enhancements to the original response plan provided in SLNRC 84-0109 for Control Room evacuation.In effort to eliminate repetitive information and provide a more efficient and consistent means to update and control fire protection program documents, the majority of USAR Appendix 9.5B is superseded by this document. The extent of USAR Appendix 9.5A, 9.5B, and 9.5E incorporation within this document is as follows:
| |
| Appendix 9.5A - Comparison to APCSB 9.5-1 Appendix A Applicable elements of the comparison have been incorporated within this document. Specific paragraphs within this document that address an APCSB 9.5-1 Appendix A comparison issue are provided with a parenthetical reference to APCSB 9.5-1 Appendix A, including the respective paragraph number addressed. The current comparison provided in Appendix 9.5A of the USAR will remain active until release of the Fire Protection Program Manual, which is being developed in response to PIR 2002-2246.
| |
| Appendix 9.5B - Fire Hazards Analysis The entire appendix was incorporated into this document with the exception of the following:
| |
| - With limited exception, PFSSD analysis is documented in E-1F9910 with PFSSD supporting information provided by XX-E-013 and E-1F9900. PFSSD capability is specifically addressed within this document for Fire Areas KDB, RW, T-4, T-10, YARD-ESF, and YARD-SU, as these areas were not originally included in the USAR FHA.
| |
| - The evaluation of unique or unbounded fire barrier features, which is documented in M-663-00017A.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 7 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis FHA revision was provided where necessary to eliminate redundancy, provide clarification, or to strengthen the existing analysis.
| |
| Appendix 9.5E - Comparison to 10 CFR 50 Appendix R Applicable elements of the comparison have been incorporated within this document. Specific paragraphs within this document that address an Appendix R comparison issue are provided with a parenthetical reference to Appendix R, including the respective paragraph number addressed. The current comparison provided in Appendix 9.5E of the USAR will remain active until release of the Fire Protection Program Manual, which is being developed in response to PIR 2002-2246.
| |
| 4.3 Methodology 4.3.1 For each Fire Area analyzed in Attachment B, the topics identified in Sections 4.3.2 through 4.3.8 below, are addressed.
| |
| 4.3.2 Fire Area Description
| |
| : 1. The Rooms within the Fire Area are identified.
| |
| 4.3.3 Major Equipment
| |
| : 1. Major equipment within the Fire Area is identified.
| |
| 4.3.4 Design Features
| |
| : 1. Fire boundary separation from other Fire Areas is discussed.
| |
| : a. Fire barrier features separating Fire Areas are 3-hour rated, unless otherwise indicated. Unique or unbounded fire barrier configurations are addressed in M-663-00017A.
| |
| : 2. Passive barrier features within the Fire Area are discussed, where applicable.
| |
| 4.3.5 Combustible Loading
| |
| : 1. Significant fire hazards within the Fire Area are discussed, where applicable.
| |
| : 2. The cumulative fire hazard classification (Low, Moderate, or High) for the Fire Area is identified. This classification is based on the Room and Fire Area combustible loading tabulation maintained in calculation XX-X-004.
| |
| Unless indicated otherwise, the specific location of combustible material within a room is not a significant factor in the combustible loading analysis.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 8 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis The three combustible loading classifications are defined as follows:
| |
| LOW: < 100,000 Btu/ft2 MODERATE: > 100,000 Btu/ft2 and < 200,000 Btu/ft2 HIGH: > 200,000 Btu/ft2 Typical combustibles include Class A and Class B hazards. Class A hazards are ordinary combustible materials such as wood, paper, fabric, nylon, plastic, rubber, and cable insulation. Class B hazards are flammable and combustible liquids and gases such as cleaning solvent, diesel fuel oil, lube oil, oxygen, and acetylene.
| |
| A significant amount of fixed combustibles in the plant is electric cable insulation. The specific calorific value of each type and size of cable was used in calculating the maximum heat leading for each Fire Area.
| |
| Class A combustibles in closed metal containers located in general corridor areas of the plant may not be considered to contribute to the fuel load in that area. Their contribution is considered based on the adjacent combustible loads and the probability of a long duration fire.
| |
| Although fire hazard effects on exposed conduits have been evaluated for safe shutdown, electric cable inside metal conduit has not been considered as contributing to the fire loading in the hazard areas.
| |
| : 3. Combustible Control Zones that are administratively maintained to control transient combustibles in the separation area between redundant PFSSD components/circuits are discussed, where applicable.
| |
| : 4. In some instances cable chase fire loading is Moderate or High with an equivalent fire severity either near or exceeding three hours. This is the case due to the small floor area in relation to the combustibles presented by cable and postulated transient combustibles. Under normal situations, no ignition sources are present within cable chases, and introduction of a transient ignition source is administratively controlled. As previously identified, cable is IEEE-383 rated. Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) technical report TR-100370, Fire-Induced Vulnerability Evaluation (FIVE), identifies that such cable is not typically considered a fire source initiator due to a low ignition frequency considering past nuclear power plant experience and fire tests. Based on this and the defense in depth fire protection features discussed in the applicable Fire Area analysis section, the development of a cable chase fire severity that would challenge fire barrier integrity is not considered credible.
| |
| : 5. Administrative controls are in place to limit the use and location of transient combustibles. Based on these limits, the maximum increased fire loading permitted in any fire area will not exceed the areas fire protection capabilities. Where transient combustibles exceed the amounts qualified in Calculation XX-X-004, additional administrative controls are implemented commensurate with the hazard.

| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 9 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis 4.3.6 Fire Protection
| |
| : 1. Automatic detection features are discussed.
| |
| : a. Automatic fire and smoke detection systems are provided throughout the plant on the basis of the Attachment B fire hazards analysis and consequences of specific postulated fires. Attachment A identifies the automatic detection protection arrangement for each room that is encompassed within the Attachment B FHA. In each case the FHA considers the impact to safe shutdown where no or partial automatic detection is provided.
| |
| : 2. Automatic suppression features are discussed.
| |
| : a. Automatic suppression systems are provided in the plant on the basis of the Attachment B fire hazards analysis and consequences of specific postulated fires. Attachment A identifies the automatic suppression protection arrangement for each room that is encompassed within the Attachment B FHA. In each case the FHA considers the impact to safe shutdown where no or partial automatic suppression is provided.
| |
| : b. KC-M-006 calculates the fire water delivery system supply, sprinkler system demands, standpipe demands, and evaluates the overall hydraulic adequacy of the fire water suppression systems.
| |
| : 3. Typical fire alarm system annunciation is identified in Table 4.3.6.3.
| |
| : 4. Suppression equipment available in the area for manual fire fighting is discussed.
| |
| : 5. Fire Area accessibility is discussed.
| |
| : 6. Fire water drainage is discussed.
| |
| : a. All areas of the plant protected with water suppression systems have sufficient drainage capacity to prevent the run-off of water into other Fire Areas such that it would affect equipment operability. All drains throughout the plant drain to their respective building sumps, from there, sump pumps transfer the water to the radwaste system.
| |
| : b. The method by which sprinkler systems control fire is termed fire control approach. This method anticipates that a certain number of sprinklers will be opened surrounding the fire event area. All sprinkler heads installed in a given Fire Area will not open for a given fire event.
| |
| Table 16.3.1 from the NFPA Handbook (20th Edition) reveals that the majority of fires are suppressed by a small number of sprinkler heads (10 or less). Additionally, hose stream application for a fire event would be controlled and of a short duration.

| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 11 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis 4.3.7 Isolation and Smoke Removal
| |
| : 1. A description of fire isolation is provided.
| |
| : 2. AP 10-106, Fire Preplans, identifies fixed HVAC supply and exhaust fans servicing each Fire Area. Smoke removal tactics are dependent on several variables and fire ground conditions including wind patterns, fire intensity, smoke dispersion rate, location of the fire within the Fire Area, location of redundant PFSSD equipment, availability of normal exhaust, and power supply availability for portable ventilation. Therefore, it is not considered feasible to discuss each potential ventilation scenario within a given Fire Area. Portable ventilation strategies and tactics are addressed by the Fire Brigade training program.
| |
| NUREG/CR-4596 demonstrates that exposure to the corrosive products of a smoke environment can result in equipment damage. Therefore, the potential to expose redundant PFSSD equipment to a smoke environment is an important consideration during smoke control and removal activities.
| |
| However, corrosion from a secondary smoke environment is not expected to be a factor that impacts immediate PFSSD capability. This is substantiated by DE88003808 (SAND87-2484C), which identifies that corrosion from a smoke environment is an event that presents a problem on a time scale of days or even weeks. Additionally, NUREG/CR-6476 identifies that the most important fire scenarios from a plant risk perspective occur during time frames of roughly one hour or less. Thus, the issue of longer term exposures are more important to the question of general post-fire equipment reliability, which is ultimately a secondary concern to that of achieving initial safe shutdown.
| |
| 4.3.8 Analysis
| |
| : 1. Fire Suppression
| |
| : a. A discussion of the fire suppression systems (fixed and manual) use and effectiveness in extinguishing a fire is provided.
| |
| : 2. Safe Shutdown Capability
| |
| : a. The safe shutdown design basis is the cold shutdown operational mode. If a fire hazard within the plant necessitates the plant being placed in a safe condition, the reactor will first be taken to a hot shutdown condition. An extended hot shutdown condition prior to achieving cold shutdown in order to perform repairs or temporary routings, if required, is a stable, safe condition.
| |
| : b. USAR Section 7.4 describes in detail how safe shutdown can be performed with safety related equipment, and provides a discussion of component redundancies and system diversity for achieving the safe shutdown functions. System and component redundancy for the various support and auxiliary systems is provided in the associated USAR section.
| |
| : c. The fuel storage pool cooling system components are listed as being required for safe shutdown for the fire hazards analysis of the Fuel
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 12 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis Building. However, they are neither required for safe shutdown nor are they associated circuits as defined in10 CFR 50 Appendix R, Section III.G. They have been included to ensure that repairs are not required for fires in the Fuel Building. Fuel storage pool cooling system component failures resulting from fires in the Auxiliary and Control Buildings are not evaluated in the FHA or E-1F9910.
| |
| : d. Associated circuits were reviewed as if they were redundant safe shutdown items.
| |
| : e. The determination of safe shutdown capability following a fire is based on the PFSSD Fire Area analysis documented in E-1F9910 and the PFSSD manual action feasibility analysis documented in E-1F9900, coupled with the FHA evaluation addressing fire hazards, fire protection features, and suppression capability. PFSSD capability is satisfied when analysis demonstrates that Wolf Creeks comparison response to 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, Section III.G is met.
| |
| 4.4 Assumptions 4.4.1 The following assumptions were made in accordance with 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, to define the plant conditions for analysis purposes:
| |
| : 1. Only one fire is postulated to occur at any one time. Multiple fires are not postulated.
| |
| : 2. A design basis accident occurring simultaneously with a fire hazard is not assumed.
| |
| : 3. Extreme environmental phenomena, i.e., earthquake, flood, tornado, etc.,
| |
| occurring simultaneously with fire hazard are not assumed.
| |
| : 4. Failure of plant systems and components required for safe shutdown is not postulated unless that equipment is exposed to the fire. Wolf Creeks comparison response to Section III.G.2 of Appendix R is considered to provide an acceptable means to protect redundant safe shutdown equipment. Random single failures are not postulated in safe shutdown systems; only fire-related failures are evaluated. It should be noted that where automatic fire suppression systems are installed, the fire hazards analysis evaluates the effects of a failure of the automatic systems.
| |
| : 5. Loss of offsite power (LOSP) is assumed to occur simultaneously with the fire unless the area has been specifically evaluated to show that a LOSP could not occur as a result of the fire. For alternate shutdown, a LOSP is considered a simultaneous event. Failure of any of the onsite vital power supplies is not assumed unless it is caused as a direct consequence of a fire. Calculation XX-E-013 identifies the Fire Areas were LOSP due to fire is possible.
| |
| : 6. Refer to XX-E-013 and E-1F9910 for additional assumptions that are specific to the PFSSD analysis.
| |
| 4.5 Fire Effects on Electrical Equipment and Safe Shutdown Information
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 13 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis 4.5.1 The following discussions provide information on the WCGS plant design and nomenclature, the assumed effects of fire, and the response of certain devices.
| |
| : 1. Redundant PFSSD mechanical systems are referred to in the analysis as Train A and Train B. Train A is served by electrical separation groups 1 and 3, while Train B is served by electrical separation groups 2 and 4.
| |
| Electrical separation groups 5 and 6 are typically for non-safety related equipment. However, in limited cases these groups also provide a PFSSD success path.
| |
| : 2. The FHA and supporting documents XX-E-013 and E-1F9910 include the effects of a postulated fire hazard on PFSSD cables, exposed conduit and instrumentation. Embedded conduits are not considered due to the heat sink provided by the encasing barrier. Section 8.3.1.4 of the USAR provides the basis and criteria for the interdependence of redundant systems.
| |
| : 3. If a fire is postulated to cause a short in a circuit and that circuit is protected by an individual overcurrent protection device, that device is assumed to function to clear the fault without further degradation of the power source.
| |
| : 4. Separation of the devices for nuclear safety-related controls and instrumentation is achieved by physical separation, use of fire-resistive cable or barriers between separation groups for the same protective function, in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.75.
| |
| 4.6 General Information on Design Features 4.6.1 Redundant equipment and circuits required for safe shutdown are also protected against the effects of potential exposure fires. These protection features include fixed fire detection and suppression systems, fire barriers, control of combustibles, use of fire-resistive cable, and physical separation. The design goal for safety-related areas outside of the Containment was to provide the equivalent of a 3-hour rated fire barrier between redundant trains, as described in 10 CFR 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2.a. Where this was not possible, credit was taken for the detection and suppression systems installed in the plant, the use of fire-resistive cable, and compliance to the provisions of Appendix R, Paragraphs III.G.2.b and c, was addressed.
| |
| 4.6.2 In most fire areas, the boundaries are defined by walls, floors, and ceilings. In the Reactor Building, however, such natural boundaries do not completely enclose localized fire hazards. For the Fire Areas inside of the Containment, the provisions of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, Paragraphs III.G.2.d, e, and f were addressed.
| |
| 4.6.3 Emergency lighting is provided for areas required for operation of safe shutdown equipment and for access and egress to those areas. It consists of sealed beam units with individual 8-hour minimum battery power supplies.
| |
| 4.6.4 Safety-related cable in the general plant area is qualified to IEEE-383-1974. All single conductors inside control panels meet the flame resistance requirements of IPCEA S-19-81 or S-61-402.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 14 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis 4.6.5 Noncombustible materials are defined to meet one of the following criteria:
| |
| : 1. Material of which no part will burn.
| |
| : 2. Surface materials not over 1/16-inch thick with a flame spread rating of 50 or less as measured by ASTM E 84- 1976.
| |
| : 3. Interior finishes which meet 4.6.5.1, or are listed by an approved organization for surface flame spread of 25 or less per ASTM E 84-1976 and potential heat release of 3,500 Btu/lb or less per ASTM D 3286-1973.
| |
| 4.6.6 Lighting, fire protection, communication and specialty cables which are flame retardant but not qualified to IEEE-383-1974; and other communication and specialty cable, such as cords and computer ribbon cable, are limited in use in the following manner:
| |
| : 1. Covered with a flame retardant coating per the requirements of (BTP)
| |
| APCSB 9.5-1, Appendix A; or
| |
| : 2. Installed in a totally enclosed metal conduit system; or
| |
| : 3. Consist of short lengths of exposed cable between the end of a totally enclosed metal conduit system routed to a component and the connection to the component (e.g. at light fixtures and public address devices; or
| |
| : 4. Located in non-safety-related areas which are separated from safety-related areas by fire rated boundaries; or
| |
| : 5. Evaluated on a case-by-case basis for adverse impact on the fire protection program.
| |
| 4.7 PFSSD Historical Information Note:
| |
| The following historical information regarding the initial PFSSD analysis process was extracted verbatim from USAR Section 9.5B.6 (Rev. 14) so that the information would be readily available for reference purpose. E-15000 (Set-Route) is now the control means for PFSSD circuits.
| |
| The list of safe shutdown components shown on [USAR] Table 9.5B-2 was provided to electrical design engineers who located all associated circuits through the review of physical drawings and electrical schematics. Each circuit associated with these devices was then flagged as being safe shutdown related (following a fire) in the master electrical raceway routing program/data base E0580. This program is utilized to route the scheduled power block cable at WCGS. It ensures that train separation is maintained and provides the most direct/suitable routing for circuits.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 15 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis After the E0580 data base was updated, a special program (Electrical Fire Hazards Analysis Program [EFHAP]) was run to produce a listing of safe shutdown circuits by fire area and room number, and by electrical separation group. This listing also included "from" and "to" information for each circuit. When a safe shutdown incompatibility was determined to exist, a failure modes analysis was performed on the circuit, the physical location(s) of the circuits were evaluated, the availability of an alternate (diverse) shutdown system was identified, and/or the need for a rated fire barrier wrap was evaluated.
| |
| The need for a fire wrap was determined based on the installed detection and suppression systems and the physical distance separating the incompatible circuits. A summary of the final evaluation for each area is provided in Section X.X.7.2 of each fire area described in
| |
| [USAR] Appendix 9.5B (where "X.X" identifies the fire area).
| |
| Since the power block safety-related circuits are all routed in the design office through the application of computer technology and the EFHAP listings were generated from the base E0580 program, it has been determined that the inclusion of listings of conduit and raceway numbers in the USAR descriptions of each fire area is inappropriate. These listings would be of no benefit to any USAR holder or reviewer. The listings would be voluminous and add several hundred pages to the fire hazards analyses.

| 4.8 FHA Revision 4.8.1 The FHA is part of the Approved Fire Protection Program. As discussed in Operating License Condition 2.C.(5)(b), changes are allowed to the Approved Fire Protection Program provided they do not adversely affect the capability to achieve and maintain PFSSD. Therefore, technical changes to this analysis document require an evaluation in accordance with AI 26A-003. This evaluation, which requires Plant Safety Review Committee (PSRC) approval, is necessary to determine if proposed technical changes require prior NRC approval.

| |
| A.1.3 Design Features This Fire Area is separated from all other Fire Areas by fire barrier construction and penetration closure assemblies (structural steel fireproofing, fire doors, fire dampers, and penetration seals) that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
| |
| Are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, ASTM E-152, UL-10B, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing an equivalent level of protection.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing protection commensurate with the fire hazards present.
| |
| Table A.1.3-1 identifies fire barrier features within the Fire Area that are unique or not directly bounded by fire endurance testing. These features are evaluated within M 663-00017A or an appropriate document referenced within M 663-00017A. These evaluations determined that each unique or unbounded fire barrier feature will prevent fire propagation from one Fire Area to another, and will not adversely impact PFSSD equipment or circuits within an adjacent Fire Area.

Openings are located in these walls, near the ceiling, for venting these rooms in the event of a high-energy pipe break.
| |
| The normal charging pump room (Room 1115) is enclosed by 2-foot-thick concrete walls with a 3-hour-rated fire door and penetration seals. However, Room 1115 is not credited as a separate Fire Area.
| |
| A.1.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area A-1 is Low.
| |
| A.1.5 Fire Protection An automatic smoke detection system is installed in this area, except as noted in Attachment A. Manual-pull stations are located at exit doors. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| Attachment A summarizes the partial automatic suppression coverage provided for this Fire Area. Specifically, an automatic preaction-type sprinkler system is installed over inaccessible cable tray concentrations in Rooms 1101, 1102, 1130, and 1122. The system also provides protection for the north and south hatchways at the ceiling of this area (El. 2000'). Sprinklers are located to minimize obstructions with structural steel.
| |
| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are located throughout the area, as delineated on drawing A-1801.
| |
| | |

| |
| Access to this area for manual firefighting is available as follows:
| |
| : a. Stairwell 4101 from the Turbine Building.
| |
| : b. Stairwell 1119 at the south end from El. 2000'-0".
| |
| : c. Stairwell 1127 at the north end from El. 2000'-0".
| |
| : d. Control Building through Access Control.
| |
| One 4-inch drain per 1,000 square feet of floor area is provided throughout this Fire Area.
| |
| The floor drains are piped to the Auxiliary Building sump, which is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.
| |
| A.1.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| A.1.7 Analysis A.1.7.1 Fire Suppression The automatic detection system will provide an early warning of a fire in this area. Hose stations or portable extinguishers can be used to suppress the fire. The automatic sprinkler system installed over the cable trays will actuate to control a fire below and to assist the fire brigade by keeping the environment cool. The sprinkler actuation or a malfunction will be identified by Control Room annunciation. In the event of a failure of the automatic system, the fire can be extinguished manually, using hose stations and/or portable extinguishers. Adequate floor drains are provided to remove the fire suppression system discharge.
| |
| A.1.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an A-1 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.
| |
| Additionally, PFSSD manual actions for a fire in this area were evaluated as feasible within E-1F9900. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area A-1 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in A-1.

| A.2.5 Fire Protection Smoke detectors are installed in each room. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the exit doorways for this elevation. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are located in Rooms 1101 and 1122 (corridors). In addition, portable fire extinguishers are located within the Fire Area, in Rooms 1112 and 1113. Specific fire hose and extinguisher locations are delineated on drawing A-1801.
| |
| Access to Room 1112 is from Room 1121 (corridor) through a watertight door. Access to Room 1111 is from Room 1112 through a 3-hour-rated fire door. Access to Rooms 1113 and 1114 is from Room 1101 through a watertight door.
| |
| Rooms 1113 and 1114 have two 4-inch floor drains per room. There is one 4-inch floor drain in Rooms 1111 and 1112. A sump with two sump pumps is located in Room 1111.
| |
| The floor drains are piped to this sump. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.

| |
| The Fire Area extends from Elevation 1974 to the floor slab of Elevation 2047 feet - 6 inches. Room 1116 houses the Separation Group 4 boric acid tank and transfer pump.
| |
| The corresponding Separation Group 1 equipment is located in Room 1117. Rooms 1116 and 1117 are separated by a 6-foot-high, 12-inch-thick concrete barrier wall with no openings, which acts as a radiant heat shield. The redundant transfer pumps are located approximately 4 feet away from the barrier wall. A 6-foot-wide platform extending from the east to the west fire barrier is located at Elevation 2013. Steps are provided to Elevation 2026 from the platform with an intermediate landing at Elevation 2015 feet - 3 inches.
| |
| The boric acid batching tank and the boron injection makeup pumps are located on steel grating above Elevation 2026.
| |
| A.3.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area A-3 is Low.
| |
| A.3.5 Fire Protection A smoke detector is installed under the Elevation 2026 slab in Rooms 1116 and 1117.
| |
| One infrared flame detector is installed on either side of the 6-foot-high barrier wall to provide early warning of a fire at the floor elevation. Manual-pull stations located at the exit doors on this floor can also provide warning in the event of a fire. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| A hose station and one portable extinguisher are located in the corridor (Room 1101),
| |
| outside Room 1116, and in Room 1122, as delineated on drawing A-1801. For fighting a fire from the platform or at Room 1407, the hose stations in Room 1408 can be used (see A-1803). Additional hose lengths can be added (if required) for manual fire fighting above the boric acid tanks. Access for manual fire fighting at the floor elevation is from Room 1122 for Room 1117 and from Room 1101 for Room 1116. For access to Rooms 1101 and 1122, see Fire Area A-1.
| |
| Access to Room 1407 and the platform is from Room 1408. For a description of access to Room 1408, see Fire Area A-16.
| |
| A 4-inch floor drain is provided in each room. The floor drains are located 10 feet away from the barrier wall. The floor drains discharge to a sump in the corridor area, which is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.
| |
| A.3.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in this area will be contained by the fire barriers. The barrier wall will protect one room from a floor fire in the other. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.

| |
| A.3.7 Analysis A.3.7.1 Fire Suppression Due to the fire barrier separation, a fire in one of the adjacent areas cannot damage the equipment in this area. A fire in one of the rooms at Elevation 1974 will be detected and alarmed by the flame detectors and/or smoke detectors. The fire can be extinguished manually, using the hose stations and/or the portable extinguishers. A fire in this area will be contained by the fire barriers until extinguished. The combustible loading is low. Since the floor on either side of the barrier slopes to drains in the middle of each room, any transient combustible spill (such as lube oil) will flow away from the barrier wall.
| |
| Since there is no equipment requiring maintenance in the vicinity of the platform, introduction of transient combustibles in such quantities as to cause fire damage at this elevation is unlikely. A fire in the cable tray will be detected and alarmed by the smoke detector located in this fire area.
| |
| The fire can be extinguished from the platform (or the steps leading to the platform) by manual hose stream brought in from Room 1408. A fire in Room 1407 will be detected and alarmed by the detectors in the ceiling.
| |
| The fire can be extinguished manually by hose stream brought in from Room 1408. The floor drains in Rooms 1116 and 1117 are adequate to drain the fire fighting water. The floor slopes away from the access doors and barrier walls to the floor drains in the corridor in these rooms.
| |
| Therefore, an extinguishing system discharge in one of the adjacent areas will not damage the equipment within this fire area.
| |
| A.3.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an A-3 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.
| |
| Therefore, a fire within Fire Area A-3 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in A-3.

| A.8.3 Design Features This Fire Area is separated from all other Fire Areas by fire barrier construction and penetration closure assemblies (structural steel fireproofing, fire doors, fire dampers, and penetration seals) that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
| |
| Are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, ASTM E-152, UL-10B, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing an equivalent level of protection.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing protection commensurate with the fire hazards present.
| |
| Table A.8.3-1 identifies fire barrier features within the Fire Area that are unique or not directly bounded by fire endurance testing. These features are evaluated within M 663-00017A or an appropriate document referenced within M 663-00017A. These evaluations determined that each unique or unbounded fire barrier feature will prevent fire propagation from one Fire Area to another, and will not adversely impact PFSSD equipment or circuits within an adjacent Fire Area.

The wall separating the VCT from the seal water heat exchanger is fire rated for a minimum of 3 hours. Personnel access to the room is through a labyrinth opening with wire mesh doors.
| |
| Access to the Volume Control Tank Room is from Room 1320 through a door in Room 1318 and a labyrinth opening (Refer to A-1802). To promote radiological protection, an additional locked wire mesh door has been provided between Rooms 1313 and 1318.
| |
| The Volume Control Tank Room 1313 has the tank, piping, and two exposed conduits routed east-west 18 feet above the floor. The adjoining valve compartment, Room 1318, has two motor-operated valves, piping, manual valves, and five exposed conduits.
| |
| Therefore, the combustible loading in these two rooms is low. Since access from Room 1320 (corridor) is limited to these two rooms, the transient combustibles introduced into these rooms will be those required for maintenance of equipment located in these rooms.
| |
| Any cutting or welding operation will be administratively controlled. Therefore, the quantity of transient combustibles introduced into these rooms will be low and will not produce enough heat, in the event of a fire, to damage the tank, piping, and valves.

| |
| A.8.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area A-8 is Low.
| |
| The new resin for the demineralizers in Room 1319 will be brought in through the south end of the corridor and transported up to El. 2026 by the elevator in the south end. The resin will be in a hydrated form and therefore, does not ignite or sustain combustion easily. The demineralizers will be charged with new resin from the floor above. The demineralizers are ASME pressure vessels filled with water. Spent resin in the demineralizers is sluiced and piped to a spent resin storage tank located in the radwaste building. Consequently, the resin in the demineralizers do not pose a fire hazard.
| |
| The spent cartridges in the CVCS filters in Room 1302 will be moved to 55-gallon drums, sealed, and removed from the area. Administrative controls ensure that only new cartridges in quantities required for immediate use will be brought into this area and the containers are removed after they are emptied. The demineralizers and filters are not required for a safe shutdown of the plant.
| |
| A.8.5 Fire Protection An automatic smoke detection system is installed throughout the Fire Area except in several rooms with low combustible loading and no safe shutdown circuits or equipment (See Attachment A and XX-E-013). Manual-pull stations are located at the exit doors of this floor. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| An automatic preaction sprinkler system is installed over cable tray concentrations in Rooms 1301, 1314, and 1320 as identified in Attachment A. In the west corridor (Room 1301), additional sprinkler heads are provided below the cable tray elevation between columns A-2 and A-4. These additional sprinkler heads are provided to protect the cable trays from a transient fire located on the floor. This area contains three racks of cable trays and other obstructions, which may reduce the effectiveness of the ceiling-mounted sprinklers in controlling a transient combustible fire. The system also provides protection for the hatchways at the ceiling of this area located at the north and south ends of the building. The hatches at the center of the building are protected as detailed in M-663-00017A. Hose stations and portable extinguishers are located throughout the area, as delineated on drawing A-1802.
| |
| Access to this area for manual fire fighting is available as follows:
| |
| : a. Stairwell 4101 from the Turbine Building.
| |
| : b. Stairwell 1119 (at the south end) from outside and other buildings.
| |
| : c. Stairwell 1127 (at the north end) from other elevations of the Auxiliary Building.
| |
| : d. Doors (at the south end) of Room 1301 from outside.

| |
| : f. Access to Room 1317 is from Room 1315 and Room 1316.
| |
| One 4-inch drain per 1,000 square feet of floor area is provided throughout this Fire Area.
| |
| Rooms 1313, 1318, 1311, and 1312 have one 4-inch floor drain per room. The drains are piped to a sump located at El. 1967 accessed from Auxiliary Building floor El. 1974.
| |
| Sump pumps empty the sump. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.
| |
| A.8.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| A.8.7 Analysis A.8.7.1 Fire Suppression The smoke detection system installed throughout the Fire Area except where noted in Attachment A will provide early warning of a fire. Due to low combustible loading, detectors are not installed in the rooms where the CVCS demineralizers, filters, and volume control tank are located.
| |
| Hose stations and/or portable extinguishers can be used to extinguish a fire in these areas. The preaction sprinkler system installed over the cable tray concentration will actuate to control a fire below and keep the area cool for fire brigade entry. The sprinkler actuation or malfunction will be identified by Control Room annunciation. In the event of a failure of the automatic system, the fire can be extinguished manually using hose stations. Adequate floor drains are provided to remove the fire suppression system discharge. There is no safe shutdown equipment susceptible to water damage in this area.
| |
| The volume control tank in Room 1313 is enclosed by concrete walls of adequate thickness to prevent damage from a fire in the adjacent areas.
| |
| A water inventory is maintained within the tank at all times. The combustible loading in this area is low. Therefore, a fire in this room will not damage the tank.

| |
| A.8.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an A-8 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.
| |
| Additionally, PFSSD manual actions for a fire in this area were evaluated as feasible within E-1F9900. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area A-8 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in A-8.

| |
| A.9.5 Fire Protection Due to the low combustible loading in this area and the separation of redundant equipment by fire barriers, smoke detectors are not installed in this area. In the event of a fire in this area, plant notification can be made by the activation of a manual-pull station in the corridor.
| |
| Hose stations are located in Room 1301 outside the Fire Area. Two portable extinguishers are located in Room 1301.
| |
| Access to this area is from Room 1301 through a door. For access to Room 1301, see Fire Area A-8.
| |
| Two 4-inch floor drains, one on either side of the partition wall, are provided. The drains are piped to a sump located at El. 1967 accessed from Auxiliary Building floor El. 1974.
| |
| The sump is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.

Hose stations or portable extinguishers are available to manually extinguish a fire. A fire in this area will be contained by the fire barriers. Adequate drainage is provided to remove any fire-fighting water.
| |
| Since the floor in adjoining corridor Room 1301 slopes away from the door to a floor drain, a fire suppression system discharge in the adjacent area cannot damage the equipment in this area.
| |
| A.9.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits.

| |
| A 20 ft. Combustible Control Zone separation area is administratively maintained to strictly control transient combustibles in the limiting separation area between redundant PFSSD circuits within the east corridor of 1408. Specifically, the Combustible Control Zone is located between columns A7 and A8 from the Containment wall to the east wall of RHR Heat Exchanger Room 1309. Insitu combustibles within the Combustible Control Zone do not pose a fire propagation path that would disable both trains of redundant PFSSD equipment.
| |
| A.16.5 Fire Protection Automatic smoke detection is provided in this area. Manual-pull stations are located at exit doors of this floor. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| An automatic preaction-type sprinkler system is installed over cable tray concentrations in Rooms 1402 and 1408 as detailed in Attachment A. The system also provides protection for the hatchways at the ceiling of this area.
| |
| In the east corridor (Room 1408), additional sprinkler heads are provided below the cable tray elevation between columns A-1 and A-4. These additional sprinkler heads are provided to protect the cable trays from a transient fire located on this floor. This area contains cable trays and other obstructions, which may reduce the effectiveness of the ceiling-mounted sprinklers in controlling a transient combustible fire.
| |
| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are located throughout the area, as delineated on drawing A-1803.
| |
| Access to this area for manual fire fighting is available as follows:

| |
| A.16.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. The 6-inch-high curbing in Rooms 1401 and 1406 and the floor drains will prevent any transient combustible spill (such as lube oil) from spreading from one room to the other. The curb will also protect Rooms 1401 and 1406 against a spill in the corridor (Room 1408). Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| A.16.7 Analysis A.16.7.1 Fire Suppression The fire barriers will contain a fire in this area and will also protect this area from a fire in any of the adjoining areas. The smoke detectors will provide an early warning of a fire in this area. The fire can be extinguished manually using the hose stations and/or the portable extinguishers.
| |
| The Combustible Control Zone ensures that fire will not involve redundant PFSSD components within the Fire Area.
| |
| The automatic detection system will trip the sprinkler system deluge valve when a cable tray fire is detected. The automatic system will actuate to extinguish the fire. The sprinkler actuation or a malfunction will be identified by Control Room annunciation. In the event of a failure of the automatic system, the fire can be extinguished manually using the hose stations.
| |
| Adequate drainage is provided in each room to remove the fire-fighting water. The 6-inch-high curb installed around Rooms 1401 and 1406 will protect the safe shutdown equipment against damage from water discharged by the sprinkler system in Rooms 1402 and 1408.

The fire will be detected, alarmed, and suppressed by the automatic Halon system or the wet pipe sprinkler system. The Halon system discharge or a malfunction will be identified by Control Room annunciation. In the event of a malfunction of the automatic systems, the hose station in Room 1408 can be used to extinguish the fire.
| |
| Adequate drainage is provided to drain the fire-fighting water. Should manual firefighting be required, water damage to the electrical equipment in this room could result (with or without associated fire damage);
| |
| however, the water damage would not adversely affect safe shutdown.
| |
| The redundant equipment is located in another fire area. Since the floor in Room 1408 (corridor) slopes away from the doors to this room, water damage due to a sprinkler discharge in adjoining areas is not possible.
| |
| A.18.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an A-18 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary. Additionally, PFSSD manual actions for a fire in this area were evaluated as feasible within E-1F9900. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area A-18 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in A-18.

| A.19.3 Design Features This Fire Area is separated from all other Fire Areas by fire barrier construction and penetration closure assemblies (structural steel fireproofing, fire doors, fire dampers, and penetration seals) that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
| |
| Are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, ASTM E-152, UL-10B, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing an equivalent level of protection.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing protection commensurate with the fire hazards present.
| |
| Table A.19.3-1 identifies fire barrier features within the Fire Area that are unique or not directly bounded by fire endurance testing. These features are evaluated within M 663-00017A or an appropriate document referenced within M 663-00017A. These evaluations determined that each unique or unbounded fire barrier feature will prevent fire propagation from one Fire Area to another, and will not adversely impact PFSSD equipment or circuits within an adjacent Fire Area.

| |
| A small cylinder of hydrogen/nitrogen mix is located on the hydrogen analyzer skid. The skid is specifically designed for use with hydrogen. The cylinder, which contains 10%
| |
| hydrogen is used as a calibration gas. If the gas were to leak, it would quickly dissipate below the 4% LEL of hydrogen. Therefore, the small cylinder does not introduce any additional impact on safe shutdown capability.
| |
| A.19.5 Fire Protection An automatic smoke detection system is installed in this area. A duct smoke detector is provided for the air intake of SGK02 in Room 1513. Manual-pull stations are located near the exit doors of this floor. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| All charcoal adsorber units, except the containment purge filter adsorber, operate during normal plant operation. Downstream of each charcoal bed is a thermistor-type continuous thermal detector, which alarms in the control room at high air stream temperature. The bed temperature is therefore constantly monitored for the containment purge adsorber units and for the other units when not in use. The charcoal beds are equipped with a hose connection to provide manual water spray protection.

| The fire area below the 2065 elevation is divided into two compartments by a 2-foot-thick concrete wall. A 9-foot x 24-foot vent opening is located at the ceiling of each compartment. The barrier wall between the two compartments has a 27-foot wide x 23-foot high vent opening located approximately 34 feet above the floor. These vent openings are required to prevent over pressurization of the compartment in the event of a postulated break of main steam piping. Due to the existence of the vent opening, the barrier wall is not fire rated.
| |
| A.23.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area A-23 is Low.
| |
| A.23.5 Fire Protection An automatic detection system consisting of infrared flame detectors is installed in this Fire Area. Manual-pull stations are installed in Room 1408. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a pull station alarm is point addressable, while detection is zoned, for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| Portable extinguishers are located in each compartment. A hose station and additional portable extinguishers are located in Room 1506. The hose station is approximately 25 feet from the access door into Room 1508. All areas of the two compartments are within reach of this hose station. Additional hose length, if required, can be added from adjacent hose racks in Room 1506.
| |
| Access to this area is through an alarmed access door from stairway Room 1127.
| |
| Access openings in the barrier wall and platforms installed at El. 2042 and 2030 provide access between compartments. An intermediate platform is installed at El. 2037 feet 1/2 inches in each compartment; however, access between compartments at this elevation is not possible. An emergency escape hatch to the Turbine Building is located in the torsional restraint structure adjacent to this fire area. Access to this area is from the platform at El. 2030 in Room 1412.
| |
| Adequate fire water drainage is ensured by the two 20 diameter unsealed floor drains to the Turbine Building that are provided for drainage in the event of a feedwater pipe rupture within the area. Additionally, drainage is provided from the area by the oily waste drain system, which is piped to the Auxiliary Feedwater Room sump located in Room 1128 (El. 1974). The sump is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LE for further information on the oily waste drain system.
| |
| A.23.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in one of the compartments will be contained by the fire barriers and the concrete barrier wall until extinguished. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.

| |
| A.23.7 Analysis A.23.7.1 Fire Suppression A fire in this area will be detected and alarmed by the detection system.
| |
| The fire can be extinguished manually, using the portable extinguishers and/or the hose station in Room 1506. The safe shutdown instrumentation in this area has watertight enclosures. All the safe shutdown equipment in these rooms is qualified to a steam environment and an ambient temperature of 320 F.
| |
| Since the access to this area is controlled and limited, the transient combustibles introduced into these rooms will be those associated with the maintenance of equipment located in these rooms. Any major maintenance work on the isolation valves or the atmospheric relief valves will require a plant shutdown. (Maintenance on these valves will normally be done during refueling outage). Any postulated transient fire will not damage the 2-foot-thick concrete wall. Due to low combustible loading and control on access and transient combustibles, this area is judged to require a degree of fire protection equivalent to the Reactor Building.
| |

| A.23.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an A-23 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary. Additionally, PFSSD manual actions for a fire in this area were evaluated as feasible within E-1F9900. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area A-23 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in A-23.

| |
| A.27.5 Fire Protection This area is provided with a cross-zoned smoke detection system. Detection by either zone will alarm locally and in the Control Room. Activation by both zones will initiate the discharge of the Halon 1301 suppression system installed in this area. If one detection zone is not available, detection by the remaining zone alone will activate the Halon system.
| |
| The Halon 1301 system installed is capable of attaining a minimal 5 percent concentration. The system is designed to maintain at least a 5-percent concentration at the level of the highest combustible for a soak time of 10 minutes. An actuation station is provided to discharge the system manually. An activation by any automatic method will sound a local alarm, close required ventilation dampers, shut off associated ventilation and/or air conditioning fan motors, and discharge the system after an adequate time delay for evacuation. The Halon cylinders and the control panel are located outside the Fire Area. The control panel has a keylock switch to disable system controls during maintenance to prevent any unwanted system actuation. A 100-percent reserve cylinder bank is provided for this system.
| |
| A hose station and three portable extinguishers are located within the area. If access to these are blocked by a fire, additional hose stations and portable extinguishers located outside the area in Rooms 1402 and 3503 (Communications Corridor) are available.
| |
| Access for manual fire-fighting is from Rooms 1402 and 3503. For access to Rooms 1402 and 3503, see Fire Areas A-16 and CC-1, respectively.
| |
| Four 4-inch floor drains are provided in this area. The drains are piped to a sump located at El. 1967 accessed from Auxiliary Building floor El. 1974. The sump is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.
| |

| |
| A.27.7 Analysis A.27.7.1 Fire Suppression The fire barriers enclosing this area will protect this area from a fire in the adjoining areas and will contain a fire within the area until extinguished.
| |
| The fire will be detected, alarmed, and suppressed by the automatic Halon system. The Halon system discharge or a malfunction will be identified by Control Room annunciation. In the event of a malfunction of the automatic system, the portable extinguishers and/or the hose stations can be used to extinguish the fire.

| |
| Adequate drainage is provided to drain the fire-fighting water. Should manual firefighting be required, water damage could result to the electrical equipment in this room (with or without fire damage); however, the water damage would not prevent safe shutdown. Since the floor in Room 1402 (corridor) slopes away from the doors in this room, water damage due to a sprinkler discharge in adjoining areas is not possible.

| |
| A.28.3 Design Features This Fire Area is separated from all other Fire Areas by fire barrier construction and penetration closure assemblies (fire doors, fire dampers, and penetration seals) that are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, ASTM E-152, UL-10B, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature. In addition, within the room, the two auxiliary shutdown panels are separated by a fire barrier, which contains two normally closed fire rated doors. One door is located in front and one is located behind the panels.
| |
| Each auxiliary shutdown panel contains the controls and instrumentation for one safe shutdown train. Cable to the panels enter from the top for Separation Group 4 and from below for the redundant Separation Group 1. The Separation Group 1 circuits to the auxiliary shutdown panel enter the panel bottom directly through a penetration seal at the floor. Therefore, no exposed Separation Group 1 raceways appear in the room. The panels are provided with keylocks to control access to the panel interiors. Access to the Auxiliary Shutdown Panel Room is controlled and alarmed.
| |
| A.28.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area A-28 is Low. Due to the small floor area of the Auxiliary Shutdown Panel Room and the Security control of the room, combustibles are typically limited to those required for operation. Calculation XX-X-004 provides the bounding transient combustible package for this Fire Area.
| |
| (Reference 3.1, Section F.6)
| |
| Internal surfaces of the auxiliary shutdown panels are finished with paint of low flame spread. All cables in these panels meet the vertical flame spread requirements of IPCEA S-19-81 and/or IEEE 383-1974.
| |
| A.28.5 Fire Protection Smoke detectors are installed at the ceiling of this fire area. Manual-pull stations are installed adjacent to the exit doors of this floor. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room.

| |
| Access for manual firefighting is from Room 1408 through an alarmed access door. For access to Room 1408, see Fire Area A-16.
| |
| No drains are provided for this Fire Area, as manual fire water suppression efforts will be minimal, considering the limited combustible loading and small footprint of the Fire Area.
| |
| Additionally, a floor drain is located in Fire Area A-16 just outside the access door to A-28.
| |
| A.28.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| A.28.7 Analysis A.28.7.1 Fire Suppression The fire barriers around the room will protect the panels from a fire in one of the adjoining areas. The fire separation between the panels will protect either auxiliary shutdown panel from a fire postulated in the other. The smoke detectors will provide an early warning of a fire either in a cabinet or in the room. The fire can be extinguished manually, using the portable extinguisher.
| |
| A.28.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an A-28 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area A-28 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in A-28.

| C.5.5 Fire Protection Smoke detectors are installed above and below the suspended ceiling except as noted in Attachment A. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the exit doorways from the Access Control area. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| An automatic wet pipe sprinkler system is provided in this area above and below the suspended ceiling as detailed in Attachment A. Water flow in the system is alarmed in the Control Room.
| |
| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are provided in the corridors within the Access Control area, as indicated on drawing A-1801.
| |
| Access to this area for manual firefighting is available via Communications Corridor 3225 and Auxiliary Building Corridor 1101 through Fire Area C-6.
| |
| Adequate floor drains are provided to remove sprinkler and hose station discharge without appreciable accumulation. Any sprinkler discharge in the area above the suspended ceiling will drain through the suspended ceiling to the Access Control area below. Drainage is discharged to the Control Building sump, which is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.
| |
| C.5.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| C.5.7 Analysis C.5.7.1 Fire Suppression A fire in this area will be detected and alarmed by the automatic detection system. In the event that a fire occurs, the automatic suppression system will actuate and extinguish the fire. In the event of failure of the automatic system, the manual hose stations provide the capability of extinguishing the fire.
| |
| The suspended ceiling panels may be removed as necessary during firefighting efforts involving the normally concealed space above the panels. The majority of the cable trays in this area are no more than 12 feet above the floor elevation, and no trays are more than 14 feet above the floor. Consequently, a fire in these cable trays can be extinguished by manual hose stations from the floor (assuming failure of the automatic wet pipe sprinkler system above the trays).

The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by a C-5 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.
| |
| Therefore, a fire within Fire Area C-5 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant.

| Some electric cable is routed above the suspended ceiling over Room 3601. However, none of these circuits are required for a safe shutdown. The floor of Room 3601 contains nine cable trenches (approximately 3-1/4 inches deep), which continue up the height of the west wall in the Control Room. The trenches are covered by steel plates, and the vertical chases are faced with sheet rock (not rated). Access panels are provided for each chase at several elevations within the Control Room, and the steel covers on the trenches are removable for manual fire-fighting access. The floor of 3605 contains two cable trenches (approximately 3-1/4 inches deep). These two trenches are covered by steel cover plates that are removable for firefighting access.
| |
| Electrical cables of redundant safety-related equipment trains are physically separated within the Control Room. Redundant safety-related circuits enter the Control Room from the Upper and Lower Cable Spreading Rooms. Circuits from the Lower Cable Spreading Room, which are in separation groups 1, 3, and 5 enter the control panels and cabinets directly. Circuits from the Upper Cable Spreading Room, which are in separation groups 2, 4, and 6 are routed to the control panels and cabinets through conduit, vertical wall trays, and under floor cable trenches. Within the control panels, safety-related wiring is separated from redundant circuits and protected in accordance with the guidelines of Regulatory Guide 1.75.
| |
| C.27.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area C-27 is Low.
| |
| Internal surfaces of control panels are finished with paint of low flame spread. All cables in these panels meet the vertical flame requirements of ICEA S-19-81 and/or IEEE 383-1974 for flame resistance.
| |
| The carpet material used in the control room is 100 percent nylon. This material meets or exceeds the surface flammability requirements per ASTM E84 or CPSC Standard FF1-70, the static propensity rating per ASTM D2679 or AATCC-134, smoke development rating per ASTM E662, and the critical radiant flux rating per ASTM E-648 or NFPA 253.
| |
| The suspended acoustical ceiling consists of panels with a maximum flame spread of 25 when tested in accordance with ASTM E 84.
| |
| The majority of the paper is stored in steel cabinets, book cases and drawers, which reduces the fire loading.

| |
| C.27.5 Fire Protection As delineated in Attachment A. Automatic smoke detectors are installed in each room containing fixed combustibles and in panels, which contain both trains of redundant safety-related conduit, cable, or wire required for safe shutdown. Smoke detection is also provided for the cable trenches in 3601 and the area above the Control Room proper suspended ceiling. (Reference 3.1, Section F.2)
| |
| Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the exit doorways from this area.
| |
| Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm. (Reference 3.1, Section F.2)
| |
| Automatic smoke detection is provided for the outside air intakes to the Control Room ventilation system. This detection is alarmed in the Control Room, and the Control Room ventilation system can be manually isolated. (Reference 3.1, Section F.2)
| |
| An automatic Halon 1301 extinguishing system is provided for the nine cable trench/wall chase combinations in the floor and west wall of Room 3601. The system is designed to maintain a minimum 5-percent concentration for approximately 7 minutes by utilizing an extended discharge following the initial release of Halon agent. This design configuration was accepted in SSER 5. (Reference 3.1, Section F.2)
| |
| The Halon cylinders and the control panel are located outside the cable trench protected area. The control panel has a keylock switch to disable system controls during maintenance to prevent any unwanted system actuation. A release button is provided on the control panel to discharge the system manually. Automatic activation will sound a local alarm and discharge the system following a brief time delay. One hundred percent capacity reserve cylinders are provided for connection to the system.
| |
| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are provided adjacent to the Control Room area, as indicated on drawing A-1804. Hose stations are equipped with Class "C" spray nozzles with rubber bumpers. These hose stations permit coverage of the area above the suspended ceiling. (Reference 3.1, Section F.2)
| |
| The area is accessible for manual firefighting from Communications Corridor Room 3611, Southwest Stairwell 3201, and Auxiliary Building Room 1512. Breathing apparatus are available for Control Room operators. (Reference 3.1, Section F.2)
| |
| Drainage in this area is by four 4-inch floor drains. This is adequate to handle maximum hose station discharge. The floor drains are piped to the Control Building oily waste sump in Room 3102. The sump is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LE for further information on the oily waste drain system.

| |
| C.27.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barriers. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion. Air packs are provided for operating personnel to permit them to remain in the Control Room when smoke is present.
| |
| C.27.7 Analysis C.27.7.1 Fire Suppression Personnel access to the Control Room is limited to necessary personnel, and strict administrative controls exist to limit transient combustibles within the Control Room. For these reasons, it is highly improbable that any fire more severe than an electrical fire within a control panel or cabinet could occur.
| |
| The fixed paper combustibles are necessary for the safe operation of the plant and are not stored in the immediate vicinity of the panels containing redundant safe shutdown circuits. Nevertheless, exposure fires sufficiently large to destroy any single control panel, before being extinguished, have been postulated. The ability to take the plant to a safe shutdown condition under such a circumstance is addressed in Section C.27.7.2.
| |
| The physical separation discussed in Section C.27.3 for redundant cable separation groups prevents an electrically-initiated fire from propagating to the point that it could adversely affect redundant trains. This is based on the limited energy density associated with an electrical fire, the minimum separation distances within any control panel, the physical barriers provided within the panel, and the fire detection and suppression systems provided. Further, since there are no power cables in safety-related control panels, the probability of an electrical fire is low.
| |
| Additionally, consistent with the conclusions of NUREG/CR-4527, an internal cabinet fire is not postulated to propagate to an adjacent cabinet when the following are satisfied:
| |
| Cabinet of fire origin is protected by a predominantly noncombustible external shell.
| |
| Adjacent cabinet is protected by a predominantly noncombustible external shell.
| |
| At least a 1 air gap is provided between the cabinet of fire origin and the adjacent cabinet of concern.
| |
| The cabinet fire testing documented in NUREG/CR-4527 demonstrated that significant smoke obscuration did not occur until approximately six minutes following cabinet fire ignition.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 185 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 156 of 250)
| |
| The automatic Halon system will suppress a fire originating in a cable trench. Portable fire extinguishers and hose stations in the foyer to the Control Room and the vestibule to Stairway C-1 provide means of extinguishing any fire that may occur.
| |
| C.27.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability A detailed study, entitled "SNUPPS Control Room Fire Hazards Analysis,"
| |
| was submitted to the NRC by letter SLNRC 82-046 dated November 15, 1982. That report addressed transient fires originating between the Control Room panels. Based on revised NRC positions, a report, "Fire Protection Review" was submitted to the NRC by letter SLNRC 84-109, dated August 23, 1984. This report provides the response plan necessary to ensure achievement and maintenance of hot standby conditions from outside the Control Room with postulated Control Room fire damage.
| |
| Modifications to the facility and procedure changes have resulted in enhancements to the original response plan identified in SLNRC 84-109.
| |
| However, the letters objective to achieve and maintain hot standby in a systematic, prioritized manner is preserved.
| |
| In the event that the Control Room is made uninhabitable by smoke, as a consequence of a fire, and there is no damage to safety-related circuits within the Control Room, the plant can be taken to and controlled in a safe hot standby condition from the auxiliary shutdown panel in the Auxiliary Building. The plant can be taken to a cold shutdown condition from outside the Control Room using the auxiliary shutdown panel and local controls at equipment locations and cabinets containing safety related equipment as described in USAR Section 7.4.3.
| |
| If, as a consequence of a fire, there is the potential for damage affecting safety-related circuits within Control Room panels, there are switches and contacts on the train B auxiliary shutdown panel (RP118B) that would be used to isolate Control Room circuits. With control at RP118B and following completion of specific actions at other locations outside the Control Room, the plant can be taken to and maintained at a safe hot standby condition. Refer to USAR Table 7.4-1 for the list of selected instrumentation and controls on RP118B that have the isolation feature.
| |
| Transition to hot standby as a result of a Control Room fire necessitating Control Room evacuation is procedurally controlled by OFN RP-017.
| |
| With the plant in a safe hot standby condition, controls and instrumentation for systems required to take the plant to cold shutdown can be evaluated for operability and cold shutdown activities can be performed from the auxiliary shutdown panels, and locally, as required.
| |
| Refer to letter SLNRC 84-109 for further discussion on safe shutdown following a Control Room fire. XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits.

| |
| A stand-alone heat detector/door closer system is installed in the pantry, room 3602, which actuates closure of the pantry to Control Room door which is normally in the open position. The heat detector actuates the door closer and a strobe located in the Control Room near the pantry door.
| |
| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are provided in the foyers of Fire Area C-27 as indicated on drawing A-1804.
| |
| The area is accessible for manual firefighting from Communications Corridor Room 3611, Southwest Stairwell 3201, and Auxiliary Building Room 1512.

| Are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, ASTM E-152, UL-10B, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing an equivalent level of protection.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing protection commensurate with the fire hazards present.
| |
| Table C.37.3-1 identifies fire barrier features within the Fire Area that are unique or not directly bounded by fire endurance testing. These features are evaluated within M 663-00017A or an appropriate document referenced within M 663-00017A. These evaluations determined that each unique or unbounded fire barrier feature will prevent fire propagation from one Fire Area to another, and will not adversely impact PFSSD equipment or circuits within an adjacent Fire Area.

| |
| C.37.5 Fire Protection A manual-pull fire alarm station is located at the normal exit from this floor elevation. Pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| An automatic wet pipe sprinkler system, is installed in this area. The system is equipped with closed head spray nozzles. Backup to the automatic sprinkler system is by portable extinguishers and a manual hose station located in the ESF Switchgear Room (3301) at this elevation.
| |
| Access to the chase is through a 3-hour-rated door.
| |
| Drainage in this area is by one 4-inch floor drain. This is adequate to handle maximum sprinkler system discharge and hose station discharge. The drain discharges to the 1974 elevation and ultimately to the Control Building Sump, which is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.
| |
| C.37.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished. No ventilation ductwork penetrates the fire barriers in this Fire Area. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| C.37.7 Analysis C.37.7.1 Fire Suppression In the event that a fire develops, it will be contained by the fire barriers and extinguished by the automatic suppression system. Should the automatic suppression system fail, manual hose streams can be directed through the access opening to extinguish the fire.
| |
| C.37.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by a C-37 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.
| |
| Therefore, a fire within Fire Area C-37 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant.

| 2000 feet and above, this area is open to the Turbine Building. However, Rooms 3702 and 3703 are separated from all of the adjacent rooms within the Communication Corridor and Turbine Building by fire rated barriers; floor, walls and ceiling. The floor of the Rooms (3702, 3703) are at EL. 2061'-6" and the ceiling is at EL. 2074'-2".
| |
| CC.1.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area CC-1 is Low. This includes the combustible gas cylinder rack in Room 3102 that is necessary for laboratory analysis activities in the Health Physics Hot Laboratory.
| |
| The combustible loading associated with Rooms 3702 and 3703 is not considered to contribute to a fire in this Fire Area due to the fire barriers provided for each of these rooms.
| |
| CC.1.5 Fire Protection Automatic smoke detectors are installed in areas which contain appreciable quantities of combustibles. Attachment A identifies the specific rooms in this Fire Area that contain detection. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the exit doorways from each elevation of this area. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| At the floor elevations below the turbine operating floor where the Communications Corridor opens into the Turbine Building, an automatic pre-action sprinkler system is provided in the Turbine Building to protect this area from a fire in the Turbine Building.
| |
| Access to this area is from the Control Building through doors at each elevation, from the Turbine Building, and from the exterior through doors in the north wall of the building.
| |
| Adequate drainage is provided to handle maximum hose station discharge. The drains discharge to the Control Building oily waste sump in Room 3102. The sump is emptied by sump pumps. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.

| |
| The trench between the two Diesel Generator Rooms (P511W0018) is sealed with full depth grout at the communicating wall (column line DB). This seal configuration provides at least a 3-hour fire resistance rating.
| |
| D.1.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area D-1 is Moderate.
| |
| The diesel fuel oil day tank has a nominal capacity of 550 gallons. The dike around the base of the tank will hold at least 110 percent of the tank contents. The dike area is drained by gravity to a 900-gallon, covered sump in the same Diesel Generator Room.
| |
| The oil can be pumped outdoors to a truck connection for removal from the building.
| |
| Each diesel fuel oil tank is provided with protection features to preclude the uncontrolled leakage of diesel fuel. The design features provided for the day tank were reviewed and accepted by the NRC at the Wolf Creek Fire Protection Audit of February 6 to 9, 1984.
| |
| (Reference 3.1, Section F.9)
| |
| Diesel fuel is stored in underground tanks. The diesel fuel storage tanks are buried approximately 23 feet from the Diesel Generator Building wall. The storage tanks are set on a firm foundation, backfilled with noncorrosive sand surrounding the tank (6 inches minimum) and provided with a covering of 2 feet (minimum) of earth. This bulk storage of flammable liquids is remote from PFSSD SSCs. (Reference 3.1, Section F.10)
| |
| D.1.5 Fire Protection Automatic thermal detectors and infrared detectors are provided in this area. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the exit doorways from this area. Detector or pull station activation alarms locally and in the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation is zoned for quick identification of the specific area in alarm. (Reference 3.1, Section F.9)
| |
| An automatic preaction sprinkler system is provided for this area. The system is charged by thermal detector alarm or by manual activation of the suppression release station located in Room 3302, (outside the north exit from Fire Area D-1). Thermal detector or suppression release station activation will also lockout the emergency diesel generator fuel oil transfer pump, unless the pump is running. This configuration is provided to preclude a spurious fire protection system trip under accident conditions that would present a negative consequence to emergency diesel generator performance.
| |
| (Reference 3.1, Section F.9)
| |
| A hose station and portable extinguishers are provided just outside this Fire Area, and portable extinguishers are located within the area, as indicated on drawing A-1802. The hose station is equipped with 100 feet of hose for effective coverage of this Fire Area.

| Adequate floor drains are provided in the area to remove sprinkler and hose station discharge without appreciable accumulation. The drainage is collected in a sump within the area. The sump is emptied by sump pumps. The sump pump discharge lines from the two Diesel Generator Room sumps are connected outside of the Diesel Generator Building. It is not possible for a flame to spread through the pumps, valves, and piping from one sump to another. Refer to drawing series M-12LE for further information on the oily waste drain system. (Reference 3.1, Section F.9)
| |
| D.1.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in this area will be contained by the fire barriers. Heat and smoke venting for each Diesel Generator Room is provided by utilizing the exhaust air flow path. The free area of the exhaust air flow path provides at least 1.0 square feet of venting area for each 200 square feet of floor area. Smoke exhaust fans per se are not employed. Normal ventilation exhaust systems are utilized throughout for smoke removal. (Reference 3.1, Section F.9)
| |
| D.1.7 Analysis D.1.7.1 Fire Suppression Early warning fire detection is by infrared detectors, which will readily detect the type of fire caused by the burning of fuel and lube oils. In the event of a large fire, thermal detectors will charge the sprinkler system and the fusible link heads will open to extinguish the fire.
| |
| In the event the automatic system fails (identified by Control Room annunciation), the hose stream available will control the fire. As previously discussed, a thermal fire detection signal stops the emergency diesel generator fuel oil transfer pump, unless it is running. Depending upon the quantity of oil involved in the fire at this point, manual extinguishment with portable extinguishers and/or the hose station may be possible. If additional hose streams are required, the room is accessible from the yard hose hydrant system.
| |
| D.1.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits.

| |
| ESWA.1 Fire Area Description Essential Service Water Pumphouse Room K105, Access Vaults MHE1 through MHE5 and Train A ESW Electrical Duct Banks Room K105A.
| |
| ESWA.2 Major Equipment Essential Service Water Pumps, Traveling Screens, Strainers, Pre-Lube Storage Tank, Ventilation Fans, Electric Cable and ESW Electrical Duct Banks and Access Vaults.
| |
| ESWA.3 Design Features This Fire Area is separated from adjacent Fire Area ESWB by a common concrete wall and penetration closure assemblies that are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature. No door is present in this fire boundary.
| |
| Buried raceways containing electrical cabling associated with the Essential Service Water System are routed from the ESW Pump House to the Control Building. The raceways are embedded below grade except where they transition through a total of five access vaults.
| |
| At these locations a buried concrete vault containing two cells is provided to separate the redundant raceways. Each cell within a vault physically separates redundant train cable by a minimum of 18 concrete construction on all sides. The vault equipment hatches have an 18 overlap with vault interior walls and the manway hatches have at least an 11 overlap. All penetrations into the vaults are adequately sealed to minimize in leakage of air or water.
| |
| ESWA.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area ESWA is Low. This combustible loading applies to Room K105 only. Combustible loading for the access vaults and electrical duct banks (Room K105A) is not quantified.
| |
| The ESW system is manually treated for organic fouling with a microbial control agent (biocide) that is a combustible liquid. The liquid is piped within the ESWA where it taps into the ESW system piping.
| |
| ESWA.5 Fire Protection Room K105 (Train A ESW Pumphouse)
| |
| Automatic smoke detectors are installed at the ceiling of the area. A manual-pull fire alarm station is located at the exit from this area. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm. (Reference 3.1, Section F.11)

| |
| Portable extinguishers and hose stations are provided for manual fire suppression. Water for the hose stations is taken from the ESW piping, however these stations are pressurized by the service water system from the Circulating Water Screen House unless a low suction pressure signal in the Auxiliary Feedwater System, an SIS or loss of off-site power signal has caused the ESW pumps to start. Under these conditions water is taken from the ESW System. Any water used in this area for fire suppression would flow to the ultimate heat sink. Refer to Figure ESWA.5-1 for the ESW Pump House hose station configuration. (Reference 3.1, Section F.11)
| |
| Access for manual firefighting is via exterior access through door K1051.
| |
| Figure ESWA.5-1, ESW Hose Stations Room K105A (Train A ESW Duct Banks and Access Vaults)
| |
| Fire hydrants are located in the vicinity of the vaults for manual firefighting. The cooling lake is also in the vicinity for manual firefighting.
| |
| ESWA.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal Room K105 - The fire barrier will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished.
| |
| Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| Room K105A - A fire in any one of the cells within a vault will be contained to the cell of origin and will not propagate to the adjacent cell within a vault. The 18 thick concrete walls and ceilings, along with the hatch cover overlap, will help to prevent a fire from propagating into another vault or the surrounding area. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.

| |
| ESWA.7 Analysis ESWA.7.1 Fire Suppression Room K105 The fire hazard associated with the injection process for ESW chemical treatment is the undiluted combustible liquid filled piping located in ESWA.
| |
| Leakage from the pipe containing concentrated biocide within the ESWA is not anticipated, as the material is compatible with the pipe type, and the piping stresses are within ANSI B31.1 allowable values considering an operation basis earthquake and safe shutdown earthquake loads.
| |
| Additionally, the piping will only contain the combustible liquid concentration under pressure during periods of chemical injection. During periods of chemical injection inactivity, only residual biocide will remain in the distribution piping to ESW. In the unlikely event of a leak within the piping containing concentrated biocide, only Fire Area ESWA would be affected, as the fire barrier between the pump rooms prevent the same fire from damaging redundant ESW trains.
| |
| Due to the complete solubility of the biocide product in water and the very small concentrations of product in ESW system, there is no fire hazard concern associated with the product after it is diluted with ESW water in Fire Area ESWA.
| |
| Manual fire suppression equipment is available to extinguish a fire in this area. (Reference 3.1, Section F.11)
| |
| Room K105A Manual fire protection equipment is available to control and extinguish any postulated vault fire.
| |
| ESWA.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an ESWA fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area ESWA will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant.

| Fire Area ESWB (Reference M-KG080, E-KF0231 and E-KR0231)
| |
| ESWB.1 Fire Area Description Essential Service Water Pumphouse Room K104, Access Vaults MHE1 through MHE5 and Train B ESW Electrical Duct Banks Room K104A.
| |
| ESWB.2 Major Equipment Essential Service Water Pumps, Traveling Screens, Strainers, Pre-Lube Storage Tank, Ventilation Fans, Electric Cable and ESW Electrical Duct Banks and Access Vaults.
| |
| ESWB.3 Design Features This Fire Area is separated from adjacent Fire Area ESWA by a common concrete wall and penetration closure assemblies that are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature. No door is present in this fire boundary.
| |
| Buried raceways containing electrical cabling associated with the Essential Service Water System are routed from the ESW Pump House to the Control Building. The raceways are embedded below grade except where they transition through a total of five access vaults.
| |
| At these locations a buried concrete vault containing two cells is provided to separate the redundant raceways. Each cell within a vault physically separates redundant train cable by a minimum of 18 concrete construction on all sides. The vault equipment hatches have an 18 overlap with vault interior walls and the manway hatches have at least an 11 overlap. All penetrations into the vaults are adequately sealed to minimize in leakage of air or water.
| |
| ESWB.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area ESWB is Low. This combustible loading applies to Room K104 only. Combustible loading for the access vaults and electrical duct banks (Room K104A) is not quantified.
| |
| The ESW system is manually treated for organic fouling with a microbial control agent (biocide) that is a combustible liquid. The liquid is piped within the ESWA where it taps into the ESW system piping.
| |
| ESWB.5 Fire Protection Room K104 (Train B ESW Pumphouse)
| |
| Automatic smoke detectors are installed at the ceiling of the area. A manual-pull fire alarm station is located at the exit from this area. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm. (Reference 3.1, Section F.11)
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 219 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 190 of 250)
| |
| Portable extinguishers and hose stations are provided for manual fire suppression. Water for the hose stations is taken from the ESW piping, however these stations are pressurized by the service water system from the Circulating Water Screen House unless a low suction pressure signal in the Auxiliary Feedwater System, an SIS or loss of off-site power signal has caused the ESW pumps to start. Under these conditions water is taken from the ESW System. Any water used in this area for fire suppression would flow to the ultimate heat sink. Refer to Figure ESWB.5-1 for the ESW Pump House hose station configuration. (Reference 3.1, Section F.11)
| |
| Access for manual firefighting is via exterior access through door K1041.
| |
| Figure ESWB.5-1, ESW Hose Stations Room K104A (Train B ESW Duct Banks and Access Vaults)
| |
| Fire hydrants are located in the vicinity of the vaults for manual firefighting. The cooling lake is also in the vicinity for manual firefighting.
| |
| ESWB.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal Room K104 - The fire barriers will contain a fire within the Fire Area until extinguished.
| |
| Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| Room K104A - A fire in any one of the cells within a vault will be contained to the cell of origin and will not propagate to the adjacent cell within a vault. The 18 thick concrete walls and ceilings, along with the hatch cover overlap, will help to prevent a fire from propagating into another vault or the surrounding area. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.

| |
| ESWB.7 Analysis ESWB.7.1 Fire Suppression Room K104 The fire hazard associated with the injection process for ESW chemical treatment is the undiluted combustible liquid filled piping located in ESWA.
| |
| Due to the complete solubility of the biocide product in water and the very small concentrations of product in ESW system, there is no fire hazard concern associated with the product after it is diluted with ESW water in Fire Area ESWA. ESWB only contains diluted biocide.
| |
| In the unlikely event of a leak within the piping containing concentrated biocide, only Fire Area ESWA would be affected, as the fire barrier between the pump rooms prevent the same fire from damaging redundant ESW trains.
| |
| As discussed above, the fire barrier between the pump rooms prevents a single fire from damaging ESW trains. Therefore, a fire originating in ESWB will not impact ESWA. Manual fire suppression equipment is available to extinguish a fire in this area. (Reference 3.1, Section F.11)
| |
| Room K104A Manual fire protection equipment is available to control and extinguish any postulated vault fire.
| |
| ESWB.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an ESWB fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area ESWB will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant.

| |
| For all of the ESW access vaults the roof panels have a 2 foot overlap and lineup flush with the vault walls. The man-way access cover panels have a 5 foot - 6 inch overlap.
| |
| Vault AV1 has two instrument penetrations in the roof panel. The instruments are used for indication only, no control functions. Vault AV5 has one instrument penetration in the roof panel. The instrument is used for indication only, no control function. Vault AV3, Train B only, has one instrument penetration in the roof panel that is used for indication only, no control functions. Vault AV3 has another instrument penetration that is used for access to instruments in the pipe area, no control functions. Vault AV4, Train A only, has one instrument penetration in the roof panel that is used for indication only, no control functions. Vault AV4 has another instrument penetration that is used for access to instruments in the pipe area, no control functions. Vaults AV3 and AV4 have 120VAC routed into the vault that is used for flow and temperature instrumentation, indication only, no control functions.
| |
| ESWV.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for each vault is Low.
| |
| ESWV.5 Fire Protection Fire hydrants are located in the vicinity of the vaults for manual firefighting. The cooling lake is also in the vicinity for manual firefighting.
| |
| ESWV.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in any one of the pipe access vaults will be contained to the vault and will not propagate to the surrounding area. The two foot thick concrete walls and ceilings, along with the hatch cover overlap, will help to prevent a fire from propagating into another vault or the surrounding area. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| ESWV.7 Analysis ESWV.7.1 Fire Suppression There are no ignition sources located within vaults AV1, AV2, AV5, and AV6. The vaults are unheated. Vaults AV3 and AV4 have 120VAC routed into the vault that is used for flow and temperature instrumentation, indication only with no control functions. Manual fire protection equipment is available to control and extinguish any postulated vault fires.
| |
| ESWV.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability A vault fire will not impact safe shutdown capability. There are no electrically powered safe shutdown components or circuits located in any of the vaults to be damaged by fire. Redundant trains of the Essential Service Water System will not be affected by a single fire in any one of the vaults. Physical separation of the vaults precludes the possibility of a single fire in any one of the vaults from affecting the redundant train vault.

| Table F.5.3-1 identifies fire barrier features within the Fire Area that are unique or not directly bounded by fire endurance testing. These features are evaluated within M 663-00017A or an appropriate document referenced within M 663-00017A. These evaluations determined that each unique or unbounded fire barrier feature will prevent fire propagation from one Fire Area to another, and will not adversely impact PFSSD equipment or circuits within an adjacent Fire Area.

| F.5.5 Fire Protection An automatic smoke detection system is installed in this area. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the exit doorways from the Fuel Building. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm. (Reference 3.1, Section F.12)
| |
| A portable extinguisher is provided in this Fire Area and hose stations and portable extinguishers are provided just outside this Fire Area, as indicated on drawing A-1803.

The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an F-5 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.
| |
| Therefore, a fire within Fire Area F-5 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in F-5.

| |
| The 4-foot-thick Reactor Building walls serve as the fire barrier separation from adjacent buildings. There are no physical boundaries enclosing localized fire hazards within the Reactor Building. However, for purposes of this analysis, the Reactor Building is divided in the following zones as delineated on drawings A-1801 through A-1804.
| |
| Zone No. Area RB-1 Area within the secondary shield wall RB-2 Area outside the secondary shield wall - El. 2000 RB-3 North electrical penetration area - El. 2026 RB-4 South electrical penetration area - El. 2026 RB-5 Cable tray area - El. 2047'-6" RB-6 Reactor building - El. 2068'-8" RB-7 West area - El. 2026 RB-8 East area - El. 2026 RB-9 Tendon access gallery area RB-10 Reactor building - El. 2047'-6" areas, except cable tray area RB-11 Area within primary shield wall RB.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area RB is Low.
| |
| RB.5 Fire Protection Linear heat detection is installed above each reactor coolant pump and in areas where cable trays are concentrated. Duct smoke detection is provided for each containment cooler. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near hose stations. Detector or pull activation alarms locally and in the Control Room. The Control Room alarms are zoned for quick identification of the area in alarm. (Reference 3.1, Section F.1a))
| |
| Portable extinguishers and manual hose stations are permanently installed inside the Reactor Building as shown on drawings A-1801 through A-1804. The hose stations are spaced at no more than 100-foot intervals. The hose station locations are such that all accessible areas of the Reactor Building are adequately covered by at least one hose stream. A fire at any hose station may be extinguished by using an adjacent hose station. An extra length of hose can be added, if required, to the adjacent hose station.
| |
| (Reference 3.1, Section F.1b))
| |
| A fixed, manually charged, closed head sprinkler system is provided over the cable trays in Zones RB-3 and RB-4. A manual system is installed to prevent an inadvertent actuation of the sprinklers during normal plant operation. To protect the chloride sensitive piping and equipment from fire protection system leakage, the standpipes inside the Reactor Building are also normally dry. (Reference 3.1, Section F.1.a))
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 243 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 214 of 250)
| |
| All fire water system piping within the Reactor Building is maintained dry by two normally closed isolation valves located in series on the same supply line. The motor operated isolation valve (KCHV0253) can be operated from the Control Room while the manual valve (KCV0427) can be manipulated locally in Room 1322. Opening both of these valves will charge fire water system piping within the Reactor Building, including the two sprinkler systems. All the isolation valves associated with the standpipe and sprinkler system are electrically supervised.
| |
| The fire protection supply piping to the Reactor Building is protected from the effects of a single active failure. The inside Containment isolation valve is a check valve which is highly reliable by design and considered exempt from active failures due to the lack of any external electrical signals which may be disabled due to a fire inside the containment.
| |
| Refer to USAR Section 3.1.1 for a discussion of the single failure criteria. Even though a fire inside the Containment would not disable the outside isolation valve, a random failure of the outside valve may be postulated with a fire inside the Containment. In this case, the accessibility of the outside isolation valve is not impaired, and the valve may be operated manually.
| |
| The Containment atmospheric control filter-adsorber units are provided with a thermistor-type continuous detector which alarms in the Control Room on high airstream temperature downstream of the charcoal bed. The charcoal beds are equipped with a hose connection to provide manual water spray protection.
| |
| A system is provided to collect and contain lubricating oil for each reactor coolant pump (RCP). The RCP oil spillage protection and control system consists of a package of splash guards, catch basins, and enclosure assemblies as attachments to the RCP motors at strategic locations to preclude the possibility of oil making contact with hot components and pipe. High pressure portions of the lube oil system are totally enclosed with low point drain connections. Low pressure portions of the system are provided with drip pans with low point connections. Remote lube oil fill lines for the upper and lower bearing reservoirs on each reactor coolant pump motor are not protected by drip pans.
| |
| Due to the design of the fill lines, no lube oil leakage is postulated. The RTD Conduit Boxes (3 per motor) are not provided with drip pans, however, conduit seals and leak tight fittings are used to minimize lube oil leakage. Oil leakage at the RDT Conduit Box does not represent a fire hazard. (Reference 3.1, Section F.1.a) and Reference 3.2, Section III.O)
| |
| Low points of the collection systems are piped to two collection tanks (each tank serves two RCPs) located in the Reactor Building as shown on Figure RB.5-1. Each of the two oil collection tanks has a capacity of 311 gallons (usable), compared to 265 gallons of oil in the lube oil system of each pump. It is unlikely that common failure would occur that would cause the entire inventory of oil in two RCP motors to leak out. The collection tanks are provided with level indication and high level alarm in the Control Room.
| |
| Therefore, the plant operators would have an early indication of a significant oil leak and could initiate corrective action. The tanks are manually drained as required. Should leakage exceed collection tank capacity before corrective actions are completed, the tank would overflow onto the Containment floor. Any such leakage would flow to the containment normal sumps via the drainage trenches located adjacent to the tanks (see drawing M-1G022). This oil would not come into contact with hot surfaces and create a fire hazard. (Reference 3.1, Section F.1.a) and Reference 3.2, Section III.O)
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 244 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 215 of 250)
| |
| The tanks are constructed to the requirements of ASME Section VIII and have flame arrestors on the vents. The drain piping is ANSI B31.1. The tanks and piping are seismically supported in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.29. Additionally, the oil collection tanks were sized to accommodate any reasonable amount of leakage that might result from an SSE. The oil collection devices mounted on the RCPs have been seismically analyzed and qualified in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.29.
| |
| (Reference 3.1, Section F.1.a) and Reference 3.2, Section III.O)
| |
| Refer to drawing M-12LF09 for a piping and instrument diagram of the RCP lube oil collection system. The location of cable trays in the vicinity of the reactor coolant pumps is identified in Figure RB.5-1. (Reference 3.1, Section F.1.a) and Reference 3.2, Section III.O)
| |
| Access to the Containment is via the personnel hatch at El. 2047 feet 6 inches. This hatch opens to Room 1507 of the Auxiliary building. For access to Room 1507, see Fire Area A-20. An emergency personnel hatch for evacuation purposes is located at El. 2013 feet 5 inches. The hatch opens to a stairway leading to the outside grade elevation. The tendon access gallery can be reached from a hatch at the outside grade at El. 2000 leading to the tendon gallery access shaft, and through door 21011 at El. 1974 of Fire Area A-1. Stairways and one elevator are located at Zone RB-2, as shown on drawing A-1802, and provide access to all elevations up to 2068 feet 8 inches.
| |
| Self-contained breathing apparatus are available for use inside Containment. They are stored near the entrance to the RCA. (Reference 3.1, Section F.1.b)
| |
| Adequate drainage capability exists in the Reactor Building to prevent the accumulation of fire-fighting water. Refer to drawing series M-12LE and M-12LF and for further information on the drain systems applicable to the Reactor Building.
| |
| RB.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire within the reactor building will be contained by the fire barriers until extinguished.
| |
| Smoke may be removed by the containment purge system. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| RB.7 Analysis RB.7.1 Fire Suppression The automatic detection system, above the reactor coolant pumps, over areas where cable trays are concentrated and in the containment cooling system ducts, will alarm in the Control Room upon detection of a fire. The standpipes and sprinkler systems are manually charged by a combination of Control Room and local action to open the two normally closed isolation valves for Containment fire water supply. A fire in the cable trays at zones RB-3 or RB-4 would be suppressed by the respective sprinkler system. A fire can be extinguished manually, using the portable extinguishers and/or the hose stations.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 245 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 216 of 250)
| |
| The reactor coolant pumps are approximately 50 feet apart and a totally enclosed system to collect and contain the lube oil is provided for each pump. An oil fire is not postulated since this would require a failure in the pump lube oil system and another failure in the lube oil collection system in combination with the presence of an ignition source. Any major maintenance work on the pumps will require a plant shutdown. Therefore, an introduction of transient combustibles into this zone during normal plant operation is not postulated. The reactor coolant pumps are not required for a safe shutdown. For these reasons, an automatic suppression system is not provided to extinguish an oil fire in this zone.
| |
| The probability of a fire occurrence is greater during refueling and maintenance operations, when transient combustibles could be in the Reactor Building. However, the area would be occupied, and any potential fire would be quickly detected. Again, fire fighting could be performed manually using the hose stations and extinguishers shown on drawings A-1801 through 1804.
| |
| RB.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an RB fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.
| |
| Additionally, PFSSD manual actions for a fire in this area were evaluated as feasible within E-1F9900. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area RB will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in RB.

| RW.3 Design Features Fire Area RW to RW-1 is not separated by a physical fire barrier boundary. The south end of the Radwaste Tunnel at Column R1 has been established as a theoretical zone boundary between RW and RW-1 for analysis purpose only. For life safety purposes, fire barriers are provided for the stairwell enclosures within the Radwaste Building. The Radwaste Building is a concrete structure, while the Radwaste Storage Building is constructed of sheet metal siding over unprotected structural steel. The drum storage building is a combination of concrete and sheet metal construction. Although the majority of the barriers within the Radwaste Building are not credited as fire barriers, they do present a substantial impediment to fire propagation within the structure.

| |
| RW.5 Fire Protection Automatic smoke detectors are installed in the area, except as noted in Attachment A.
| |
| Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near exit doorways. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| An automatic wet pipe sprinkler system is provided for the Radwaste Storage Building and the Dry Waste Compactor area (Room 7228) of the Radwaste Building.
| |
| The charcoal filter adsorber unit is provided with a thermistor-type continuous detector which alarms in the Control Room at high airstream temperature. The adsorber unit is equipped with a hose connection to provide manual water spray protection.
| |
| Hose stations and fire extinguishers are strategically located throughout the area.
| |
| The area is accessible for firefighting from the exterior and the Radwaste Tunnel.
| |
| Floor drains that discharge to the Radwaste Building sump are provided for removal of firefighting water. Refer to drawing series M-12LF for further information on the floor and equipment drain system.
| |
| RW.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in this area is isolated from the Auxiliary Building by fire barrier construction. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| RW.7 Analysis RW.7.1 Fire Suppression A fire in the Radwaste Building will be detected and alarmed by the automatic detection system. A fire in the Radwaste Storage Building will be alarmed following sprinkler system water flow. Fire in the Radwaste Storage Building or Dry Waste Compactor area will be suppressed by the respective automatic sprinkler system. A fire can be extinguished manually, using hose stations and/or portable extinguishers in the event automatic suppression fails, or the fire is located in an area where automatic suppression is not provided.
| |
| A filter fire in the charcoal adsorber unit will be extinguished utilizing the manual spray system.

| RW.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability Four hand switches and associated cables are located in fire areas RW and RW-1 that are used to close the Steam Generator blowdown valves BMHV0001 through BMHV0004 in the case of a fire that renders the primary circuit incapable of controlling the valves. In the case of a fire in Fire Area RW or RW-1, the primary circuit will be available to control these valves. Therefore, a fire in this area will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in RW.

| |
| RW.1.3 Design Features This Fire Area is separated from the Auxiliary Building by fire barrier construction and penetration closure assemblies (structural steel fireproofing, fire doors, fire dampers, and penetration seals) that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
| |
| Are directly qualified by 3-hour fire endurance testing in accordance with criteria of the applicable controlling standard (ASTM E-119, ASTM E-152, UL-10B, UL-555, or IEEE-634) for the respective barrier assembly protective feature.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing an equivalent level of protection.
| |
| Have been evaluated as providing protection commensurate with the fire hazards present.
| |
| Table RW.1.3-1 identifies fire barrier features within the Fire Area that are unique or not directly bounded by fire endurance testing. These features are evaluated within M 663-00017A or an appropriate document referenced within M 663-00017A. These evaluations determined that each unique or unbounded fire barrier feature will prevent fire propagation from one Fire Area to another, and will not adversely impact PFSSD equipment or circuits within an adjacent Fire Area.

| Table RW.1.3-1 Fire Area RW-1, Unique or Unbounded Fire Barrier Features M-663-00017A Closure Unique or Unbounded Feature Component Category Penetration seals that exceed the bounding Penetration Seal limitations of M-663-00017 The ceiling, floor, and east west side walls of this area are against soil. The fire area is divided into two rooms by a 2-foot-thick concrete wall. Room 7133 is the Nonradioactive Tunnel, while Room 7134 contains radioactive piping.
| |
| Ventilation air for the tunnel is provided by transferring air from the Radwaste and Auxiliary Buildings by means of transfer fans. The tunnel is exhausted by Radwaste and Auxiliary Building exhaust systems. More air is exhausted than supplied to prevent exfiltration from the tunnel. Air is supplied to the nonradioactive portion of the tunnel and exhausted from the radioactive side of the tunnel.

| |
| RW.1.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area RW-1 is Low.
| |
| RW.1.5 Fire Protection An automatic smoke detection system is installed in Room 7133. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the exit doorways from adjacent areas. Detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm. Detection is not installed in the Radioactive Pipe Tunnel (Room 7134) due to low installed combustibles.
| |
| Hose stations are not located inside the tunnel since a fire in the tunnel may render them inaccessible. Hose stations, located approximately 30 feet away from either end of the tunnel in the Auxiliary and Radwaste Buildings, are available for manual firefighting.
| |
| Each hose rack has 75 feet of hose, and the tunnel is approximately 140 feet along.
| |
| Therefore, all areas of the tunnel are within reach of these hose stations. Portable extinguishers are provided inside and outside of the tunnel. Refer to drawing A-1801 for hose stations and extinguisher locations.
| |
| The area is accessible for firefighting from both the north and south ends of the tunnel.
| |
| A 4 foot x 4 foot x 4 foot sump with two 50 gpm submersible pumps is located in the Nonradioactive Tunnel midway between the Auxiliary and Radwaste Buildings. The sump pumps discharge to the floor drain tank located in the Radwaste building. The Radioactive Pipe Tunnel has a 3 foot x 3 foot x 3 foot sump, which is connected to the Nonradioactive Tunnel sump by a 4-inch embedded pipe.
| |
| RW.1.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in this area is isolated from the Auxiliary Building by fire barrier construction. Fire dampers will isolate HVAC openings in the fire barrier communicating with the Auxiliary Building. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| RW.1.7 Analysis RW.1.7.1 Fire Suppression Due to the low installed combustibles in the Radioactive Pipe Tunnel and limited credible ignition sources, a fire in this area is not postulated.
| |
| A fire in the Nonradioactive Tunnel area will be detected and alarmed by the automatic detection system. The fire can be extinguished manually, using hose stations and/or portable extinguishers.

| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are provided just outside this fire area at each floor elevation.
| |
| The area is accessible for fire fighting from each communicating elevation with the Auxiliary Building and Turbine Building.
| |
| No drains are provided for this Fire Area, as manual fire water suppression efforts will be minimal, considering the limited combustible loading and equipment in the Fire Area.
| |
| There are no PFSSD equipment or circuits in this area. There is no PFSSD equipment susceptible to water damage in this area. Therefore, water accumulation in the area would not affect safe shutdown capability.

| The Communication Corridor (Fire Area CC-1) is open to this area at El. 2000 and 2016, but separated from the adjacent Control Building by a fire boundary wall. The turbine lube oil area located approximately 38 feet north of the Auxiliary Building wall consists of two rooms (4308 and 4403), one above the other, which are both enclosed by fire barriers. Due to the fire boundaries for each of these rooms the areas are not considered part of Fire Area T-2. The FHA for Room 4308 is provided in Section T.4.1 (Fire Area T-4), while the FHA for 4403 (Fire Area T-10) is provided in Section T.10.1.
| |
| Fire Area T-2 to TURB is not separated by a physical boundary. The 50 point north of the Auxiliary Building wall has been established as a theoretical zone boundary between T-2 and TURB for fire hazard analysis purpose only.
| |
| A pipe trench extends from the Auxiliary Building wall to the Condenser Pit area. The trench is sloped away from the Auxiliary building.
| |
| T.2.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area T-2 is Low.
| |
| T.2.5 Fire Protection The T-2 areas below the turbine operating floor (El. 2065) are protected by an automatic detection system, using rate compensated thermal detectors. The detection system alarms locally and in the Control Room and also charges the preaction sprinkler system in the area. The Control Room detection annunciation is zoned for quick identification of the specific area in alarm. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the emergency exit doorways from this area. The pull stations alarm locally and in the Control Room.
| |
| Control Room annunciation of a pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| Hose stations and portable extinguishers are provided throughout this area. Adjacent hose stations are separated by no more than 100 feet.
| |
| Automatic preaction sprinkler protection is provided for T-2 areas below the operating floor, El. 2065. Each of the two systems is charged by actuation of any one of the thermal detectors located in the area protected by that system.
| |
| The entire area is readily accessible through several interior and exterior doors and fire-rated stairways.
| |
| Adequate floor drains are provided in the Turbine Building area to remove sprinkler and hose station discharge without appreciable accumulation. Refer to drawing series M-12LE for further information on the oily waste drain system.

| |
| T.2.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in this area will be isolated from the Auxiliary Building and Fire Areas T-4 and T-10 by fire barrier construction. Fire dampers will isolate the HVAC ducts from the Auxiliary Building, and Fire Areas T-4 and T-10. The roof of the Turbine Building is fitted with spring loaded vents which are held closed by fusible links. In the event of a fire in the Turbine Building, these vents will open to relieve smoke and heat. The vents are sized to provide 1 square foot of vent area for each 100 square feet of floor area. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for additional smoke removal discussion.
| |
| T.2.7 Analysis T.2.7.1 Fire Suppression A fire in this area will be detected and alarmed by the automatic detection system. The automatic suppression systems will discharge shortly after the automatic alarm signal occurs. In the event of failure of the automatic suppression system or a delay in discharge, the fire can be manually extinguished, using the portable extinguishers, manual hose stations, and/or the manual water spray systems, where provided.
| |
| Collapse of the Turbine Building roof or even a Turbine Building roof truss is not credible and is not postulated because of the fire protection provided, low fire loadings above the operating deck of the Turbine Building, and the construction of the roof which meets FM Class I UL Class A requirements. Even though the roof trusses will not collapse, it has been verified that a free-falling roof truss has less energy than tornado missiles considered in the design of safety-related buildings.
| |
| Fires on or above the operating deck within the T-2 area would be extinguished manually. The combustible loading above the operating floor is low and administrative controls limit the introduction and storage of transient combustibles on the operating floor. Fires starting on or above the operating floor will not damage the roof or roof trusses. The resultant heat and smoke will be vented through the roof vents.
| |
| Fire starting below the operating deck in an open area will be automatically detected and extinguished by an automatic preaction sprinkler system. Therefore, fires below the operating deck within the T-2 area will not damage the roof or the roof trusses. Failure of the automatic extinguishing system is alarmed in the Control Room.
| |
| T.2.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by an T-2 fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary.

| Floor drains are provided within the area to contain and remove sprinkler and hose station discharge without appreciable accumulation. The drains discharge to the oily waste sump located in Room 4308. Refer to drawing series M-12LE for further information on the oily waste drain system.
| |
| T.10.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in this area will be isolated from adjacent safe shutdown areas of the plant by fire barriers. Fire dampers will isolate the HVAC ducts from the adjacent safe shutdown areas. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| T.10.7 Analysis T.10.7.1 Fire Suppression A fire in this area will be detected and alarmed by the automatic detection system. In the event that a fire develops, it will be contained by the fire barriers, with the exception of the potential fire communication path to Fire Area T-4 via the floor drain system. The automatic sprinkler system will suppress a fire in the area. Should the automatic suppression system fail, manual hose streams and extinguishers can be used to extinguish the fire.
| |
| As identified in Section T.10.5, floor drains in the area discharge to the oily waste sump located in Room 4308 (Fire Area T-4). This presents a potential combustible liquid communication path between the two Fire Areas. However, each Fire Area is protected from other Fire Areas by fire barrier construction and a wet pipe sprinkler system ensuring that a fire originating in T-10 and communicating to T-4 through the drainage system, would be maintained within the fire barrier confines of T-4.
| |
| Additionally, Fire Area T-4 does not contain any PFSSD equipment or circuits. Therefore, a fire involving both T-10 and T-4 will have the same overall impact on plant safe shutdown capability.
| |
| T.10.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability One cable for the control of valve ABHV031 runs through this Fire Area.
| |
| This cable needs to function when the MSIV's are rendered incapable of closing due to a fire. For a fire in this area, the MSIV's will function normally. Therefore, a fire in any portion of Fire Area T-10 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant.

| |
| TURB.3 Design Features Fire Area TURB to T-2 is not separated by a physical fire barrier boundary. The 50 mark north of the Auxiliary Building wall has been established as a theoretical zone boundary between T-2 and TURB for analysis purpose only. Fire barriers are provided for Battery Rooms 4402 and 4404 for commercial property protection.
| |
| The Communication Corridor (Fire Area CC-1) is open to this area via T-2. However, CC-1 is separated from the adjacent Control Building by a fire boundary wall.
| |
| TURB.4 Combustible Loading Calculation XX-X-004 does not maintain a combustible loading classification for Fire Area TURB. The predominate combustible hazards associated with this area is that presented by lubrication oil and hydrogen within the main generator.

| |
| TURB.5 Fire Protection Battery Rooms 4402 and 4404 are protected by automatic smoke detectors. Remaining TURB areas below the turbine operating floor (El. 2065), with the exception of the Condenser Pit and Observation Posts are protected by an automatic detection system, using rate compensated thermal detectors. The detection system alarms locally and in the Control Room. Thermal detection activation and also charges the preaction sprinkler system in the area. The Control Room thermal detector alarm annunciation is zoned for quick identification of the specific area in alarm. Manual-pull fire alarm stations are located near the emergency exit doorways from this area. The pull stations alarm locally and in the Control Room. Control Room annunciation of a smoke detector and pull station alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| Automatic preaction sprinkler systems are provided to protect TURB areas below the turbine operating floor (excluding room enclosures and the Condenser Pit area). Each system is charged by actuation of any one of the thermal detectors located in the area protected by that system. Each floor elevation in the Turbine Building with the exception of 1983 and 2065 is protected by two independent sprinkler systems with each system serving approximately one-half of the floor area. A preaction sprinkler system, actuated by thermal detection, is also provided for the main turbine generator bearings The area under the condenser in the Condenser Pit is protected by an automatic wet pipe sprinkler system. The steam generator feedwater pump turbines are protected by a manually actuated water spray system. Detection is by thermal detectors which alarm locally and in the Control Room. A manual system is installed to prevent damage due to inadvertent operation. The hydrogen seal oil unit and is protected by an automatic water spray system actuated by thermal detectors, which alarm locally and in the Control Room.
| |
| An automatic wet pipe sprinkler system is provided for the Outage office and storage area located in the northwest corner of the turbine operating floor.
| |
| The entire area is readily accessible through several interior and exterior doors and fire-rated stairways.
| |
| Adequate floor drains are provided in the Turbine Building area to remove sprinkler and hose station discharge without appreciable accumulation. Refer to drawing series M-12LE for further information on the oily waste drain system.
| |
| TURB.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal A fire in this area will be isolated from the Auxiliary Building, Control Building, Fire Area T-4, and Fire Area T-10 by fire barriers. Fire dampers will isolate the HVAC ducts from the these areas. The roof of the Turbine Building is fitted with spring loaded vents which are held closed by fusible links. In the event of a fire in the Turbine Building, these vents will open to relieve smoke and heat. The vents are sized to provide 1 square foot of vent area for each 100 square feet of floor area. Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for additional smoke removal discussion.

| |
| TURB.7 Analysis TURB.7.1 Fire Suppression A fire in this area will be detected and alarmed by the automatic detection system. In areas where preaction suppression systems are installed, the design is such that the system will discharge shortly after the automatic alarm signal occurs. The wet pipe sprinkler systems will automatically activate as sprinklers heads are opened by the fire. In the event of an automatic suppression system failure, complete extinguishment is not achieved by the automatic systems, or there is a delay in discharge, the fire can be manually extinguished, using the portable extinguishers, manual hose stations, and/or the manual water spray systems, where provided.
| |
| Collapse of the Turbine Building roof or even a Turbine Building roof truss is not credible and is not postulated because of the fire protection provided, low fire loadings above the operating deck of the Turbine Building, and the construction of the roof which meets FM Class I UL Class A requirements. Even though the roof trusses will not collapse, it has been verified that a free-falling roof truss has less energy than tornado missiles considered in the design of safety-related buildings.
| |
| A fire involving the Outage Office or storage area on the operating floor would be suppressed by the sprinkler system. All other fires on or above the operating deck would be extinguished manually. The combustible loading above the operating floor is low and administrative controls limit the introduction and storage of transient combustibles on the operating floor. Fires starting on or above the operating floor will not damage the roof or roof trusses. The resultant heat and smoke will be vented through the roof vents.
| |
| Fire starting below the operating deck in an open area will be automatically detected and suppressed by an automatic sprinkler system.
| |
| Should an automatic fire extinguishing system fail to operate or is not entirely successful, manual fire fighting could still be accomplished to extinguish the fire. The resultant heat and smoke would be vented through the roof vents. Therefore, fires below the operating deck will not damage the roof or the roof trusses. Failure of the automatic extinguishing system is alarmed in the Control Room.
| |
| TURB.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability There are several components located in Fire Area TURB that are needed for a fire that renders the MSIVs incapable of closing. For a fire in this area, the MSIV's will function normally. Cables for several components that are needed for a fire that renders the MSIVs incapable of closing are located in Fire Area T-2 and CC-1. For a fire in these areas, the MSIV's will function normally.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 270 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 241 of 250)
| |
| The main turbine stop valves and steam bypass valves are located in Fire Area TURB. In addition to a fire that renders the MSIVs incapable of closing, these valves are needed in the case of a fire in the Control Room.
| |
| The procedure that governs the safe shutdown of the plant in the case of a fire in the Control Room assures that these valves will close.
| |
| Fire in this area and CC-1 can cause loss of off site power. However, redundant on-site power sources are available.
| |
| In summary, a fire in any portion of Fire Area TURB will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant, even in the unlikely event that fire propagation to T-2 and/or CC-1 occurs.

| CST/RWST.1 Fire Area Description Yard Areas around Condensate Storage Tank and Refueling Water Storage Tank (areas are identified as Fire Areas Y-01 and Y-02 in XX-X-004).
| |
| CST/RWST.2 Major Equipment Condensate Storage Tank, Refueling Water Storage Tank, Demineralized Water Tank, Reactor Makeup Water Tank, and Emergency Fuel Oil Storage Tanks.
| |
| CST/RWST.3 Design Features The water storage tanks are located in areas containing low combustible loading.
| |
| The walls of the two buildings adjacent to the Refueling Water Storage Tank are of concrete for the Fuel Building and metal siding for the Hot Machine Shop. The walls of the buildings adjacent to the Condensate Storage Tank are concrete for the Reactor Building and metal siding for the Auxiliary Boiler Room. Neither the below grade emergency fuel oil storage tanks or the diked heating oil storage tank present an exposure hazard to the CST or RWST.
| |
| CST/RWST.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area CST/RWST is Low.
| |
| CST/RWST.5 Fire Protection Yard hydrants and hose houses are located throughout the Power Block area.
| |
| CST/RWST.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal Smoke will be removed by natural means for these outdoor structures.
| |

| |
| CST/RWST.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As applicable, XX-E-013 identifies electrical PFSSD equipment located within the Fire Area, while E-15000 identifies PFSSD circuits. The detailed PFSSD analysis for the Fire Area is provided in E-1F9910. The analysis demonstrates that a success path of PFSSD equipment, unaffected by a CST/RWST fire, remains available for achieving and maintaining hot standby and ultimately, transition to cold shutdown, if necessary. Therefore, a fire within Fire Area CST/RWST will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant. This, coupled with the defense in depth fire protection features and administrative controls for the Fire Area, provides reasonable assurance that 10 CFR Part 20 radiation limits will not be exceeded due to a fire in CST/RWST.

| Fire Area YARD-ESF (Reference E-0F0221)
| |
| Note:
| |
| Fire Area YARD-ESF is identified as YARD1 in E-15000.
| |
| YARD-ESF.1 Fire Area Description ESF Transformers XNB01, XNB02, and surrounding yard area YARD-ESF.2 Major Equipment ESF Transformers XNB01 and XNB02.
| |
| YARD-ESF.3 Design Features The two ESF Transformers are located outdoors west of the Turbine Building and north of the Communications Corridor. The units set approximately 9-6 apart with an 13-3 tall by 20-8 long by 12 thick concrete barrier provided between the 11 transformers for fire exposure protection. Overhead cable raceways exiting the transformers into the Communications Corridor are separated by a horizontal distance of approximately 20 ft.
| |
| Due to spatial separation, the Communications Corridor, Turbine Building, and Station Service Transformers, do not present an exposure hazard to XNB01 or XNB02.
| |
| YARD-ESF.4 Combustible Loading The predominate combustible material is the transformer oil (approximately 2,170 gallons for XNB01 and approximately 4,205 gallons for XNB02). The oil is a Class 11 IIIB combustible liquid.
| |
| YARD-ESF.5 Fire Protection Each transformer is provided with automatic thermal detectors that upon activation will trip the open spray head deluge sprinkler system protecting the corresponding unit. The system may also be manually actuated by an electrical manual pull station in the area or by activation of a pneumatic manual release station on the deluge system riser. Detector or pull station activation will annunciate locally and in the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or release station alarm is zoned for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| Hydrants and hose hoses are accessible in the area for manual firefighting efforts.

| |
| A curbed gravel pit is located beneath the transformers. The pit is sized to contain the oil from a transformer as well as water from both ESF transformer deluge sprinkler systems operating for approximately 10 minutes. Drainage is provided by a manual valve controlled 6 drain that discharges to the Turbine Building drainage system. Refer to drawing series M-12LE for further information on the oily waste drain system.
| |
| YARD-ESF.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The concrete barrier between the two transformers provides exposure protection from a fire originating in either transformer. Smoke will be removed by natural means for the outdoor transformers.
| |
| YARD-ESF.7 Analysis YARD-ESF.7.1 Fire Suppression A fire in either transformer unit would be detected by the automatic heat detectors, which would automatically actuate the open head spray deluge system to suppress the fire. In the event that the deluge system does not extinguish the fire or the system fails to operate, the fire can be extinguished manually by utilizing an area fire hydrant.
| |
| YARD-ESF.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability The ESF transformers have been included as PFSSD equipment because they are the normal power supplies to the emergency busses. An analysis has been performed that shows the areas where these transformers can be lost and is included in calculation XX-E-013. In all areas where fire can cause the loss of these transformers, the emergency diesel generators will be available. Therefore, a fire in that causes the loss of ESF transformers XNB01 and XNB02 will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant.

| |
| YARD-SU.4 Combustible Loading The predominate combustible material is the transformer oil (approximately 10,850 gallons). The oil is a Class IIIB combustible liquid.
| |
| YARD-SU.5 Fire Protection The transformer is provided with cross zoned automatic thermal detectors.
| |
| Detection by either zone will alarm locally and in the Control Room. Activation by both zones will trip the open spray head deluge sprinkler system protecting the transformer. A deluge system trip signal also deenergizes XMR01. Activation of the electrical manual pull station in the area results in an single zone only alarm. It will not trip the deluge system. Manual deluge system actuation may be accomplished by activation of the pneumatic manual release station on the deluge system riser or key activated switch at the control panel. The Control Room annunciation of a detection or manual pull station alarm is zoned for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.

| Fire Area ESWC (Reference A-1324 through A-1327)
| |
| ESWC.1 Fire Area Description ESW Vertical Loop Chase, West of Control Building, Elevations 1974 to 2087-2, Room 8000.
| |
| ESWC.2 Major Equipment A and B train essential service water (ESW) piping and vacuum breakers.
| |
| ESWC.3 Design Features The ESW Vertical Loop Chase is a Seismic Category I structure that is attached to the west exterior wall of the Control Building. The exterior walls of the Chase below grade are concrete. Above grade, the walls are 1/2 thick steel plate with the exception of the east wall, which is the Control Building concrete wall at column line CF. The approximate area footprint of the Chase is 23 x 13. The Chase extends from 1974 to the top of the Control Building (2087-2). Access/egress is provided by an exterior door at 2000 (grade) and a personnel hatch on the Chase roof.
| |
| This fire area is separated from all other fire Areas by 3-hour rated fire barrier construction and penetration closure assemblies. No structural steel fireproofing is provided for the Chase due to low combustible loading. An additional consideration for not providing fireproofing was thermal expansion/contraction of the steel enclosure, from seasonal temperature changes, which would challenge fireproofing bond integrity. The exterior walls of the Chase are not fire rated, as there are no significant exterior fire exposure hazards in close proximity to the Chase.
| |
| ESWC.4 Combustible Loading The cumulative combustible loading classification for Fire Area ESWC is Low, with minimal fixed combustibles and no combustible continuity. As an added defense in depth feature, the fire area is maintained as a Combustible Control Zone. This administrative control requires that transient combustibles be constantly attended, or a transient combustible materials (TCM) permit is required. The TCM will specify required compensatory measures commensurate with the hazard presented by the transient combustible material package.
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 278 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 249 of 250)
| |
| ESWC.5 Fire Protection Area smoke detection is provided for the Chase. A manual-pull fire alarm station is located at each exit. Smoke detector or pull station activation results in local fire alarm notification appliance operation and annunciation within the Control Room. The Control Room annunciation of a fire alarm is point addressable for a quick and easy means to identify the location associated with the device in alarm.
| |
| A dry standpipe connection is provided south of the Chase at grade level. The standpipe feeds open head spray nozzles located below the Chase roof. Fire water is provided to the system by connecting the standpipe to an area fire hydrant with fire hose located in the hydrant hose house. The nozzles provide water spray protection for the Chase footprint, including the structural steel vertical columns.
| |
| Manual fire water suppression capability also includes hose stream application via area fire hydrants that are provided with fire hose and nozzle stored within the fire hydrant hose house.
| |
| Portable fire extinguishers are provided within the Chase for incipient fire response.
| |
| Drainage for the Chase is by a sump located on the 1974 elevation. Fire water discharge into the chase will not impact safe shutdown capability, as there are no electrical safe shutdown components within the Chase.
| |
| ESWC.6 Isolation and Smoke Removal The fire barrier separating the Chase from the Control Building will prevent fire propagation to a communicating fire area. No ventilation ductwork penetrates the fire barrier separating the Chase from the Control Building. Louvered vents are provided in the exterior walls of the chase to provide natural ventilation.
| |
| Refer to Section 4.3.7.2 for smoke removal discussion.
| |
| ESWC.7 Analysis ESWC.7.1 Fire Suppression In the event that a fire occurs within the Chase, it will be detected by area smoke detection. Fire severity will be low considering the limited amount of fixed combustibles and the administratively controlled transient combustibles within the Chase. Fire suppression will be via portable fire extinguishers, manual operation of the water spray system, or hose stream from an area yard fire hydrant. This protection approach
| |
| | |
| Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation Page 279 of 281 Fire Hazard Analysis ATTACHMENT B FIRE HAZARD ANALYSIS (Page 250 of 250) ensures that Chase structural integrity will not be challenged by an ESW Vertical Loop Chase fire.
| |
| ESWC.7.2 Safe Shutdown Capability As previously identified, there is no electrical safe shutdown equipment within the fire area. Protection of the Chase and vertical structural steel with the manual water spray system ensures that the building structure will not impact the performance of the ESW piping internal to the Chase. Per the section 3.2.1.2 assumption from NEI 00-01, Guidance for Post-Fire Safe Shutdown Circuit Analysis, (Rev. 2), exposure fire damage to manual valves and piping does not adversely impact their ability to perform their pressure boundary or safe shutdown function. Therefore, a fire within ESWC will not prevent safe shutdown of the plant.
