| event text = As part of an extent of condition review related to ENS report 50362 (Unanalyzed Condition Due to Lack of Appropriate Fuse Protection), it was identified that, within the past three years, three additional examples existed of missing fire barriers that could have impacted separation of redundant safe shutdown trains.  For the affected areas associated with each of the three missing barriers, compensatory measures (hourly fire watches) had been in place for three years prior to the discovery of the condition.  However, it was determined the missing barriers met the reporting criteria for 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(ii)(B) as unanalyzed conditions that significantly degraded plant safety.

The first condition was the use of rodofoam material in Auxiliary Building seismic joint seals.  Rodofoam is a combustible foam material and does not provide a fire rating equivalent to the barriers in which it was used.  This issue was corrected in a plant modification.
