>>A Re-evaluation of Existing Design Features and Administrative Controls," which was transmitted by letter dated February 25, 1977 (L-77-57).

Through an oversight, the additional length of hose and a new hose reel were not installed.

However, MP 15537.2 was revised to require the proper length of fire hose at this location.The Fire Marshall had noted the deviation on the surveillance procedure, and had ordered the equipment necessary to properly equip the fire hose station.He, however, was not aware of the timely response required by the"Action Statement" in the event a Limiting Condition of.Operation associated with the fire hose stations could not be met.The deviation noted in the completed copy of the procedure was overlooked during review of surveillance results by the On-Site Fire Protection Coordinator.

However, a third xeview (required in the procedure) by QC personnel detected the deviation, and corrective action was initiated.

A review of previously completed copies of the procedure disclosed similar instances of deviations that had not been corrected.

The corrective action will include revision of MP 15537.2 to require notification of the on-shift Nuclear Plant Supervisor should any fixe protection system/component (required by Technical Specifications) be found in a condition other than specified by the procedure.
