Subject:

Voluntary Report - Fire Protection Missed Thermo-M g Fire Vatch Gentlemen:

Summary  ; ,,

on September 10, 1792, while performing a routine audit of fire watch patrol logs, security personnel discovered that a non-Technical Specification hourly ftre watch, completed on September 8, 1992, was not properly performed. This hourly fire vatch was established an September 1, '.992 as a compensatory measure in response to NRC Bulletin 92-01, a pplement 1, Failure of Thermo-Lag 330 Fire Barrier System to Perform its Specified Fire Endurance Function" (Log Number l-2726), dated August 31, 1992. This is a voluntary report summarizing the citeumstances of this incident.

Discussion on September 10, 1992, as part of an ongoing fire patrol self audit a comparison

, of fire watch patrol logs to dotr card reader time histories, security personnel discovered that Room 325 (High Voltage Switchgear Room A) was not e.itered from 1706 ui.til 1822 on September 8, 1992, a period of 76 minutes. This exceeded the 60 +/ 15 minute hourly fire watch requirement established in response to NRC Bulletir. 92-01, Supplement 1. Further investigation revealed that the individual assigned to completing the required fire watch did eot enter Room 325 A

during the two patrols he performed from 1800 until 2000 on September 8, 1992.

However, a qualified fire vatch individv3'. enters 3 Room 325 at 1822 and again at 1921 therefore, technically only one lite watnh was missed. This event was not detected during the hourly reviews of fire watch logs because the fire watch log

, was incorrectl'/ signed by the individual as if the vatch was properly performed at 1806 and 1906. Potential Condition Adverse To Quali.ty Report 92-0367 was initiated on September 10, 1992 to address this incident.
