Measures taken to separate redundant trains were incomplete. This item will remcin open pending further verification by Region II No violations or deviations were identifie . Administrative Controls Control of Welding and Cutting Activities Section 2.c(6) of Facility Operating Licensee No. NPF-23 for Byron Unit I requires that the licensee maintain in effect all provisions of the approved fire protection program as described in the Byron Fire Protection Report through Amendment No. 5. Administrative controls are required to be established for Operating Unit 1 and to protect Unit 1 from the construction fire hazards of Unit 2 by Sections 3.A.8 and 3.2.3(a) of the Byron Fire Protection Repor Sections 3.2.B.3.(a) and Section III.K.5 of Appendix A.S.7 of the Byron Fire Protection Report require that administrative controls be

,

es'ablished to control work involving ignition sources such as welding and cutting activitie Furthermore, by letter dated June 14, 1985 (D. L. Farrar-CECO to H. R. Denton-NRC), the licensee committed to comply with the requirements of National Fire Protection Association Standard No. 518 regarding welding, cutting and grinding activitie The following observations made in this area:

(1) Welding / Grinding With N_o Fire Watch During a tour of the Auxiliary Building on November 10, 1985, the inspector observed a weldir.g and grinding operation in progress by two workers in the vicinity of the radwaste remote shutdown panel on the 383 foot elevation. Both workers were facing opposite each other. One wor *er was welding while the other was grinding. No one was performing fire watch dut There were combustibles (plastic pail of wood scraps) within ten feet of the welding and grinding operatio When questiuned about a required fire watch for the operation by the inspector, each worker claimed to be the fire watch for the other. hhen asked for a welding and cutting permit, the workers could not locate one, but claimed that such a permit i

-

. .

!

had been issued and left inside of another work package. After stoppir}g work and leaving the area, the workers returned with a welding permit some time later and one worker resumed the welding / grinding activity while the other worker performed the required fire watch dut Although the worker performing fire watch duty produced evidence that he had received fire watch training, he did not appear to be fully cognizant of the required duties of a fire watch because he failed to remain in the area while the welding / grinding work was being performe In addition, to perform the fire watch duty, he positioned himself in a position that isolated him from the fire extinguisher provided to combat fire and, he failed to notice the plastic five-gallon pail of wood scraps within ten feet of the welding / grinding operatio Further review of this situation revealed the following:

(2) Shift. Engineer Authorization of Welding Permits The shift engineer's office had no knowledge of welding / grinding activities being cor4!ucted in this area because the licensee's procedure governing these activities appears to be inadequate and allcw excessive latitude to contractors to perform such work without the licensee's knowledge or contro Nuclear Work Request No. 6B1007, issued in May, 1985, authorized this work to be performed in Units 1 and 2. The fire hazard analysis review for the work request indicated that welding is to be performed by procedure. Unit 1 Operations Procedure No. BMP 3101-5 and Unit 2 Construction Procedure No. B.S.I. 104-5 require shift engineer authorization on welding and cutting activities only if this work is to be performed in ten designated areas. The licensee's rationale for limiting shift engineer authorization of these activities to these areas was based on a reduction of shift engineer workloa Where the shift engineer is required to authorize welding and cutting activities, on the spot authorization is given in the shift engineer's office. No inspection of the areas is performed to authorize the work to begin, and no subsequent monitoring of the activity is done by the shift enginee (3) Contractor Supervisor Authorizati_on of Welding Permits

_

Both Unit 1 and 2 welding and cutting procedures direct contractor supervisors to obtain shift engineer authorization for work to be performed in the ten designated areas identified in the procedures. The procedures direct contractor supervisory personnel to authorize welding and cutting

activities and issue weiding and cutting permits in other safety-related areas of the plant withcut shift engineer authorization. According to the licensee, the shift engineer

could track welding and cutting activities through associated Nuclear Work Requests that are maintained in the shift engineer's office, but no procedure is established to require this actio (4) Fire Watch Regairement and Permit System Limitation

The procedures for both Unit 1 and Unit 2 employ a methodology which limits the application of the requirement for fire watches

. and welding permits when welding and cutting activities are performed. According to the procedures, in. areas where there

, are significant transient combustibles, a contractor fire watch is required to be present during welding / cutting but a welding and cutting permit is not required. In areas where it is assumed that only minor fires might occur, no welding permit and no fire watch is required.

In response to these limitations the licensee provided the ,

inspector with documentation indication that supervision has received additional training on welding and cutting procedure The licensee also indicated to the inspector that a complete

, review of the procedures would be performed and appropriate changes made to properly govern work involving ignition sources under closely controlled condition Items 1, 2, 3 and 4 are considered an unresolved item (454/85049-01; 455/85034-01(DRS)) that may result in enforcement action pending

Region III review and acceptance of the licensee's written response describing corrective actions take b. Control of Combustibles At approximately 1630 hours0.0189 days <br />0.453 hours <br />0.0027 weeks <br />6.20215e-4 months <br /> on January 14, 1984, the licensee reported that a fire occurred on the Unit 1 Auxiliary Building roof. The cause.of the fire was determined to be the result of non-fire-retardant wood scaffolding in contact with the 1A diesel generator exhaust piping. There was no damage to structures or components required for safe operation of the plan Fighting the fire and removal of the wood scaffolding was complicated by the fact that the 1A diesel generator continued to run, causing the auxiliary building roof concrete penthouse structure housing the 1A diesel generator exhaust stack to be filled with hot exhaust gases, heat, and smoke from the fire. In addition, the 100 feet of fire hose at hose station No.1 (auxiliary building elevation 471 feet, column-row L-10) was insufficient to reach the fire, and fire brigade portable radio and telephone communications were lost at the time of the fire due to a planned outage on Communications Bus No. 033 .. -- .. . .

._-

. .

The results of the inspector's review of this event are as follows:

(1) Use of Fire Retardant Wood According to the licensee's January 7, 1985 internal correspondence (G. Sorenson to J. Oster), in 1976 or 1977, the licensee decided to take an insurance penalty for wood which was not fire retardant. Subsequent to that decision, the licensee committed to meet the requirements of Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 for Unit 1. An October 17, 1984 internal correspondence (M. E. Lohmann to all site contractors) was issued indicating that all wood in the Unit 1 Reactor Building was to be replaced with appropriate fire retardant wood. An April 8, 1985, internal correspondence (G. Sorenson to J. Oster) indicated that all wood in Unit 2 was replaced with fire-retardant woo During plant tours, the inspector verified on a sample basis the presence of fire retardant wood labelled "NCX Blue" in both Unit 1 and Unit 2. The temporary wood foundation for rail car tracks on the Unit 2 refueling floor is not fire retardant wood. However, this exccption was granted to the licensee by NRR in the safety evaluation report for Condition No. 25 of Special Nuclear Materials License No. SNM 191 (2) Fire Brigade Communications Comunications Bus No. 033W has been modified and power is now supplied by the security diesel generator. In the event of a loss of offsite power (such as the planned bus outage at the time of the January 14, 1984 auxiliary building roof fire), a continuous onsite power supply is provided for portable radio repeaters and telephone communication (3) Fire Hose Length In response to the concern for the adequacy of. ho';e lengths at hose station No. 1, the license revised prefire plans to require the fire brigade to respond to a fire in this area with extra hose lengths. This was determined acceptabl No violations or deviations were identifie . Building Design Fire Hose Stations On a sample basis the inspector evaluated the licensee's fire hose station installations for conformance with NFPA Standard No.14 as comitted to by the licensee in Section 3.6.c(4) of the Byron Fire Protection Report. A proposed change from the hose station at column-row K-14 to column-row K-17 could not be validated by NRR

. .

according to the Byron /Braidwood Fire Protection Report (Diagram No. M-52, Sheet 11). This change is generic to both Byrcn and Braidwood and is also discussed in Region III Inspection Report No. 456/85-053; 457/84-51 for Braidwood Units 1 and The hose station for column-row K-17 at elevation 451 feet of the turbine building is located in an inaccessible location inside the electrical instrumentation lab in the auxiliary building. Over 300 feet exists between hose stations located at column-row J-12 and column-row L-26 on the south wall at elevation 451 feet of the turbine building. This is inconsistent with NFPA 14 as these hose stations are used to facilitate manual fire-fighting in safety-related areas of the auxiliary buildin To correct this condition, the licensee proposed to relocate the hose station for column-row K-17 to the corridor outside of the auxiliary electric equipment room so as to facilitate manual fire-fighting activities in the Unit 2 control room area. By the conclusion of the inspection, no decision was made on the instal-lation of a hose station at cdlumn-row K-17. The licensee stated that further reviews would be conducted to determine the feasibility of bringing this installation in conformance with NFPA Standard

-

No. 1 This is considered an Open Item (455/84034-02(DRS)) pending verification by Region II Fire Barrier Penetration Seal Installations Fire barrier penetration openings are required by Section 3.4.d.3(d)

of the Byron Fire Protection Report to be sealed to give protection of the opening that is at least equivalent to that of the fire barrier. The licensee's firecode CT Gypsum fire barrier penetration sealing material is an acceptable material if properly applied. The NRC raised concerns at LaSalle Station over the application of firecode CT Gypsum fire barrier penetration sealing material. The licensee has satisfactorily resolved most of these concerns. The following concerns have not been resolved:

(1) Depth of Penetration Opening To achieve the qualified three-hour fire rating, the Gypsum material must be applied to a depth of five inches, in combination with four inches of thermafiber CT felt. Where there are thin floors or walls less than nine inches thick, the licensee has not identified or verified the acceptability of these installation .

The licensee has not verified conformance of cable density to the qualifying fire test criteri This (items 1, 2 and 3) is considered an Open Item (454/85049-02; 455/85034-03) pending verification by Region II No violations or deviations were identifie . Fire Protection Program Implementation The inspector reviewed the licensee's implementation of the fire protection program for Unit 2 prior to initial fuel loading as required by Section 3.1.e(2) of the Byron Fire Protection Report. Preoperational testing is required to be conducted of new fire protection equipment to verify operational readiness and conformance with design requirement Tests are required to be performed in accordance with written test procedures, and test results are required to be reviewed and evaluated in accordance with appropriate acceptance criteri The following are the results of the inspector's review: Preoperational Test Procedures A selected sample of Unit 2 station approved preoperational test procedures were reviewed. All tests reviewed incorporated appropriate procedural steps to measure quality affecting parameters that demonstrate operability of the equipment in accordance with design and governing code requirements, Preoperational Test Results Preoperational testing of fire protection systems was incomplete at the time of the inspection. Complete review of the test results will be made during subsequent Region III inspectio .

_

Region III Inspection Report No. 456/85-053(DRS); 457/85-051(DRS) for Braidwood documents an NRC concern about unqualified sectional isolation valves installed in the Reactor Building Fire Protection Water Supply System. These valves are manufactured by various fire protection equipment vendors and are installed in the fire protection water supply system in accordance with seismic requir-ements. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. does not list or label seismic class materials. Therefore, these valves do not have the required formal fire resistive qualification. This is inconsistent with the licensee's commitment in Section 3.6.b(1) of the Byron Fire Protection Report to install the fire protection water supply system in conformance to NFPA Standard No. 24. This is a generic concern for the Byron and Braidwood facilitie To resolve this concern, the licensee is requested to verify the acceptability of these valve installations and identify deviations from NFPA Standard No. 24 to NR This is considered an Unresolved Item (454/85049-03; 455/85034-04 (DRS)) pending verification by Region II No violations or deviations were identifie . Open Items Open itens are matters which have been discussed with the licensee, which will be reviewed further by the inspector, and which involve some action on the part of the NRC of licensee or both. Open items disclosed during the inspection are discussed in Paragraphs 4.a and . Unresolved Items Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in order to ascertain whether they are acceptable items, items of noncompliance, or deviations. Unresolved items disclosed during the inspection are discussed in Paragraphs 3.a and . Exit Interview The inspectors omt with the licensee representatives at the conclusion of the inspection on December 12, 1985, and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection. The licensee acknowledged the statements made by the inspectors. The inspectors also discussed the likely informational content of the inspection report with regard to documents reviewed by the inspector during the inspection. The licensee did not identify any such documents as proprietary. On January 10, 1986, in a telephone conversation with the licensee, additional concerns regarding the adequacy of administrative controls over welding and cutting activities were discussed with the license ._ .-
