4. OTHER ACTIVITIES
4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed condition reports resulting from fire, smoke, sparks, arcing, and
equipment overheating incidents for the period of July 31, 2001 to July 19, 2004 as well
as selected fire brigade response, emergency / incidents, and fire safety inspection
reports. This review was conducted to assess the frequency of fire incidents and
effectiveness of the fire prevention program and any maintenance-related or material
condition problems related to fire incidents. The inspectors also reviewed other
corrective action program documents, including completed corrective actions
documented in selected CRs, and operating experience program (OEP) documents to
verify that industry-identified fire protection problems potentially or actually affecting
VEGP were appropriately entered into, and resolved by, the corrective action program
process. Items included in the OEP effectiveness review were NRC Information
Notices, industry or vendor-generated reports of defects and noncompliance under 10
CFR Part 21, and vendor information letters. In addition, the inspectors reviewed a
sample of the fire protection program audits and self-assessments which the licensee
performed in the previous two-year period. The inspectors evaluated the effectiveness
of the corrective actions for the identified issues. The documents reviewed are listed in
the attachment.
