TOLEDO EDISON COMPANY DAVIS-BESSE NUCLEAR POWER STATION UNIT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION FOR LER NP-33-80-ll DATE OF EVENT: January 16, 1980 FACILITY: Davis-Besse Unit 1 IDENTIFICATION OF OCCURRENCE: Pipe and conduit penetrations through fire barriers not scaled properly.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence: The unit was in Mode 1, with Power (MRT) = 2772, and Load (Gross MWE) = 920.

Description of Occurrence: On January 16,1980 at 0900 hours0.0104 days <br />0.25 hours <br />0.00149 weeks <br />3.4245e-4 months <br /> during the performance of ST 5016.11, Fire Protection System Barrier Surveillance Test, test personnel found a gap around a lb" conduit which penetrated a fire wall above the normal entrance to Room 236. The space should have been sealed with grout or silicone sealant or temporarily sealed with Kao-wool. This placed the unit in violation of Technical Specification 3.7.10 which requires all penetration barriers protecting safety related areas be functional at all times. A fire watch was established per the action statement until the penetration was temporarily sealed with Kao-wool.

On January 19,1980 at 1120 hours0.013 days <br />0.311 hours <br />0.00185 weeks <br />4.2616e-4 months <br />, test personnel discovered a 4" hole with a 2" conduit in it through the south wall of the #2 electrical penetration room. The gap was immediately packed with Kao-wool, and thus no fire watch was established.

Designation c f Apparent Cause of Occurrence: The cause of the first occurrence was procedure deficiencies in that the appropriate procedures did not address the temporary replacing of seals af ter conduit or pipe installation especially if the conduit or pipe is not installed immediately af ter the core drill is completed.

The cause of the'second occurrence was improper initial installation by construc-tion personnel.

Analysis of Occurrence: There was no danger to the health and safety of the public or to station personnel. The fire detection devices in the rooms would have pro-vided early warning of fires in their areas.

Corrective Action: A memo was issued to all station personnel warning against breaching of fire barriers. The applicable maintenance instruction (MI-M-87) has been modified to address the described deficiencies. It should be noted that ST 5016.11, Fire Protection System Barrier Surveillance Test is still in progress and any subsequent occurrences of this kind will be reported as a supplement to this Licensee Event Report.

Failure Data: There have been three similar reportable occurrences, see Licensee Event Reports NP-33-78-137, NP-33-79-61, and NP-33-79-63.
