.19,83, that:

'"The June 28, 1983, Appendix R exemption requests to the NRC from Pilant to Vassallo describes the service water pump room and the

' fact that the area is bounded by a nonrated door. An exemption was granted for this area in a December 14, 1982, letter from Vassallo-to Pflant in spite of the nonrated door . . . . In order to eliminate any.more confusion, we will include the exterior door to the service water pump room in our Surveillance Procedures (SP) 6.4.5.1 and SP 6.4.5.2 for completeness of our procedures. The procedures will also' state that the door is not a rated fire door, but does not need to be, as stated above."

The.NRC inspectors reviewed SPs 6.4.5.1 and 6.4.5.2 and determined that door P105 had been deleted and the outer security door P106 was now included. However, the procedures do not " . . . state that the door is not a rated fire door .... "
