ABSTRACT (Limit to 1400 spaces,i.e., approximately 15 single-spacedtypewnttentines) (16)

On December 16,1996, a discrepancy was discovered in the plant procedure utilized to perform the periodic ,

inspection of the fire protection system smoke detectors. On January 13,1997, a review of this discrepancy identified I that the surveillance procedure utilized prior to November 1995 (Surveillance Procedure (SP) 2618C, " Fire Protection System Smoke Detector Test") did not ensure that the requirements of Technical Specification (TS) Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.7.1 were met. In addition, on March 16,1997, it was discovered that SP2618C did not adequately document the trip functions of associated components during the testing of smoke detectors.

Fire protection requirements are no longer contained in the Technical Specifications. These requirements were removed by Millstone Unit No. 2 License Amendment No.191 which was issued on November 3,1995. Prior to Amendment No.191, Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.7.1 included requirements for smoke detectors in the Auxiliary Building (-5 foot elevation). The requirements for the fire protection equipment were relocated to the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) which is a plant controlled document.

The cause of both events was failure to properly incorporate Technical Specification surveillance reauirements into j plant surveillance procedures.

This event reports the historical noncompliance with Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.3.3.7.1.

SP2618C has been partially revised to ensure compliance with the fire protection system requirements in the TRM for the smoke detectors.
