The inspectors reviewed the manual suppression standpipe and fire hose system to
verify adequate design, installation, and operation in the selected fire areas/zones. The
inspectors examined flow measurement/pressure test data to verify that sufficient
pressure and flow volume was available to produce electrically safe and effective fire
hose operation within the nozzle manufacturer’s specified flow range. During plant
tours, the inspectors observed placement of the fire hoses and extinguishers to verify
they were not blocked and were consistent with the fire fighting pre-plan drawings and
fire protection program documents. Additionally, the inspectors checked a sample of
fire hose lengths to confirm they could reach the affected fire areas/zones in support of
manual fire fighting efforts.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.10 Compensatory Measures
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the administrative controls for out-of-service, degraded, and/or
inoperable, fire protection features. The inspectors reviewed selected active items on
the fire protection “LCO tracking log” and compared them with the fire areas selected for
inspection. The compensatory measures that had been established in these areas were
compared to those specified in procedure 92040-C to verify that the risk associated with
removing fire protection from service was properly assessed and adequate
compensatory measures were implemented in accordance with the approved fire
protection program. Additionally, the inspectors reviewed the adequacy of the licensee’s
short term compensatory measures for a degraded function or feature until appropriate
corrective actions were taken.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
.11 Fire Protection Licensing Basis
a. Inspection Scope
The team reviewed licensing basis documents, including: 10 CFR 50.48; BTP CMEB
9.5-1; Operating License Condition 2.G; the UFSAR; and fire protection SERs
documented in NUREG 1137 and its supplements. Based on the above, the inspectors
evaluated and compared the licensee’s safe shutdown procedures, and various
calculations of record against the licensing basis to measure the adequacy and
consistency of the program documentation.
b. Findings
No findings of significance were identified.
