NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 95-52: FIRE ENDURANCE TEST RESULTS FOR ELECTRICALRACEWAY FIRE BARRIER SYSTEMS CONSTRUCTED FROM3M COMPANY INTERAM FIRE BARRIER MATERIALS
Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear powerreactors.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this informationnotice to inform addressees of the results of recent fire endurance tests forelectrical raceway fire barrier systems constructed from 3M Company Interamfire barrier materials. It is expected that recipients will review theinformation for applicability to their facilities and consider thisinformation, as appropriate, in their review of Interam fire barriers.BackaroundOn April 20, May 17, and July 7, 1995, the NRC staff visited Omega PointLaboratories (OPL), San Antonio, Texas, to witness full-scale fire endurancetests for electrical raceway fire barrier systems constructed from 3M CompanyInteram fire barrier materials. These tests were sponsored by Peak SealsCorporation (Peak Seals). Peak Seals informed the NRC staff that the testspecimens included in this test program were intended to represent genericInteram fire barrier systems and that these test programs were conducted inaccordance with Generic Letter (GL) 86-10, Supplement 1, 'Fire Endurance TestAcceptance Criteria for Fire Barrier Systems Used To Separate Redundant SafeShutdown Trains Within the Same Fire Area." The following information isbased on observations made by the NRC staff who witnessed these fire tests.The NRC staff has not reviewed the test reports.
Description of Circumstances
1-Hour Fire Endurance TestsThe first test assembly included nominal 24-inch and 6-inch-wide steel cabletrays; 1-inch, 2-inch, 3-inch, and 5-inch-diameter steel conduits; a 2-inchdiameter air drop; each was arranged in a U-shaped configuration; and a12-inch by 12-inch by 8-inch steel junction box. With regard to the 2-inch-diameter steel conduit, the Junction box was installed in one of its verticalruns and the 2-inch diameter air drop was installed in the other. These testspecimens did not include cable fill and were supported by a common trapeze9511080324- K4 //6t~zEzt-0 t f51(14 IN 95-52November 14, 1995 support. They were protected with three layers of Interam E53A fire barriermat material. Each layer was 7.6 mm [0.3 inch] thick.On April 20, 1995, OPL subjected the test assembly to the test fire specifiedin American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard E-119, "FireTest of Building Construction and Materials," for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. After the fireexposure, the test specimens were subjected to a fog-nozzle hose stream test.The 24-inch-wide cable tray; the 3-inch-, 2-inch-, and 1-inch-diameterconduits; and the air drop exceeded the temperature rise acceptance criteriaof GL 86-10, Supplement 1, near the end of the 1-hour fire exposure. None ofthe barriers burned through during the fire exposure nor were they breached bythe hose stream. Table 1 (see Attachment 1) summarizes the test specimen andfire barrier configurations and the results of the April 20, 1995, test.The second test assembly included a 24-inch-wide steel cable tray, 1-inch- and5-inch-diameter steel conduits, and a 2-inch-diameter air drop. These testspecimens did not contain cables and were protected with three layers ofInteram E54A fire barrier mat material. Each layer was 10 mm [0.4 inch]thick.On May 17, 1995, OPL subjected the test assembly to the test fire specified inASTM Standard E-119 for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. After the fire exposure, it subjected thetest specimens to a fog-nozzle hose stream test. These 1-hour test specimensmet the acceptance criteria of Supplement 1 to GL 86-10. Table 2 (seeAttachment 1) summarizes the test specimen and fire barrier configurations andthe results of the May 17, 1995, test.3-Hour Fire Endurance TestThe third test assembly included nominal 24-inch- and 6-inch-wide steel cabletrays; nominal 1-inch-, 3-inch-, and 5-inch-diameter steel conduits; a 2-inch-diameter air drop; each was arranged in a U-shaped configuration; and anominal 12-inch by 12-inch by 8-inch steel junction box. The cable trays werefilled with a single layer of mix cables. The cable trays, the 1-inch- and3-inch-diameter steel conduits, and the air drop were protected with fivelayers of Interam E54A fire barrier mat material. The 5-inch-diameter conduitand the Junction box were protected with six layers of Interam E54A firebarrier mat material. Each layer was 10 mm [0.4 inch] thick.On July 7, 1995, OPL subjected the test assembly to the test fire specified inASTM Standard E-119 for 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. After the fire exposure, it subjected thetest specimens to a fog-nozzle hose stream test. The barriers did not burnthrough during the fire exposure, nor were they breached by the hose stream.There was no visible damage to the test specimen cables. However, all of thetest specimens exceeded the temperature rise acceptance criteria of GL 86-10,Supplement 1. Table 3 (see Attachment 1) summarizes the test specimen andfire barrier configurations and the results of the July 7, 1995 test.DiscussionSection 50.48 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations requires thateach operating nuclear power plant must have a fire protection plan that IN 95-52November 14, 1995 satisfies General Design Criterion (GDC) 3 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.Fire protection features required to satisfy GDC 3 include features to ensurethat one train of systems necessary to achieve and maintain shutdownconditions is free of fire damage. One means of satisfying this requirementis to separate one safe shutdown train from its redundant train with a fire-rated barrier. The level of fire resistance required of the barrier, 1 houror 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />, depends on the other fire protection features in the fire area.The NRC issued guidance on acceptable methods of satisfying the regulatoryrequirements of GDC 3 in Branch Technical Position (BTP) Auxiliary and PowerConversion Systems Branch (APCSB) 9.5-1, 'Guidelines for Fire Protection forNuclear Power Plants"; Appendix A to BTP APCSB 9.5-1; BTP Chemical EngineeringBranch (CMEB) 9.5-1, "Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants"; and GL 86-10,"Implementation of Fire Protection Requirements." These guidance documentsstate that the fire resistance ratings of fire barriers should be establishedin accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 251,"Standard Methods of Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials"(1975), by subjecting a representative test specimen to a standard fireexposure.On March 25, 1994, the NRC issued Supplement 1 to GL 86-10 to (1) clarify theapplicability of the test acceptance criteria in GL 86-10 to raceway firebarrier systems, (2) specify a set of fire endurance test acceptance criteriathat are acceptable for demonstrating that fire barrier systems can performthe required fire-resistive function and maintain the protected safe shutdowntrain free of fire damage, (3) specify acceptable options for hose streamtesting, and (4) specify criteria for cable functionality testing when adeviation is necessary, such as when the fire barrier temperature risecriteria are exceeded or the test specimen cables sustain visible damage.These positions are incorporated by the NRC staff in its review and evaluationof the adequacy of fire endurance tests and fire barrier systems proposed bylicensees or applicants to satisfy existing NRC fire protection rules andregulations.Some temperatures observed during the tests exceeded the maximum allowabletemperature acceptance criteria of Supplement 1 to GL 86-10. In accordancewith this supplement, an engineering evaluation could be performed todetermine the acceptability of an in-plant Interam fire barrier that wasbounded by a deviating test specimen configuration. Information about suchevaluations can be found in Enclosure 2 of Supplement 1 to GL 86-10.
