(h) Fire suppression water system shall be operable, except during system testing, jockey pu=p maintenance or training (not to exceed 7 consecutive days) with both fire pu=ps , each with a minimum capacity of 1800 gpm, with their discharge aligned to the fire suppression header and automatic initiation logic for each fire pump.

a. With less than the above required equipment:

(i) restore the incperable equipment to operable status within 7 days.

(ii) if equiptent is not restored to operable status within 7 days, prepara and submit a report to the Iluelear Regulatory Commission, pursuant to Section 5 9 3.1 of the Technical Specifications, within the next 30 days , outlining the plans and procedures to be used to provide for the loss of the system and the cause of the mal-function.

b. With no fire suppression water system cperable:

a-(i) establish a backup fire suppression water sys-tem within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. _

(ii) notify the Iluelear Regulatory Co==ission, pur-suant to Section 5.9 2.a of the Technical Specifications, outlining the cause of the =al-function, the actions taken, and the plans and schedule for restoring the system to operable status.

(iii) If (i) above cannot be fulfilled, place reactor in Hot Standby within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Cold Shutdevn within the folleving thirty (30) hours.

(5) The sprinkler system in the Diesel Generator Roces, the sprinklers above the steam driven auxiliary feedvater pump , and the deluge system in the personnel corridor between fire areas 6 and 20 shall be operable except during system testing. If inoperable:

a. Establish a continuous fire watch with backup fire ex-tinguishing equipment in the unprotected area within one hour, and _ , ,

,np b.

)O I3 Restere the system to operable status within 1h days or prepare and submit a report to the :iuclear Regulatory Cc==issica, pursuant to Section 5 9 3.1 of the Technical Specificaticas, within an additional 30 days , outlining the cause of the inoperability ana the plans for restoring the system to cperable status.

d DISCUSSION In accordaace with Sections 3.1. 5, 3.1. 27, and 3.1. 28 of the Cc==ission's Safety Evaltation Report (SER) for the Fort Calhoun Station fire protection program, the C=aha Public Pcver District vill have fire water suppression systens installed, as noted in the proposed specifications, in Dece=ber, 1979 The proposed specifications specify limiting conditions for operation and survei'_lar.ce measures for:

fire hose stations to be installed in the auxiliary building.

sprinkler system located above the steam driven auxilicry feed-water pump.

• deluge system located in the persennel corridor between fire areas 6 anc 20.

' lao proposed specifications are similar to model specifications re-e ived frca che Cc==ission in a letter dated June 17, 1977, and are identi-cal in content to those specifications for other fire water vrppressien sys-tems , approved by the Commission in AmenC=ent No. 38 to Operat.ing License DPR-40. 7nese specifications, if i=plemented, would not be ini=ical to the health and safety of the public or reduce the level of safety at the station.
