a. Commitments

i The inspector reviewed the licensee's action on the fire protectioncommitments made to the NRC. The NRC Fire Protection Safety Evaluation

| Report included in Section 9.5 of the facility Safety Evaluation Reporti (SER) dated February 1981 and the licensee's Fire Protection Evaluation

Report (FPER) including Revisions 1 - 6 were used in this review. A| number of discrepancies were noted between the fire protection features| identified in the SER, the commitments in the FPER and tne features

actually being provided at the pirnt. These included the followingitems:

(1) Control valves are not to be provided for the fire hydrantlaterals (SER, page 9-15).

(2) Electric power supply to electric fire pump does not conform toNFPA 20, Centrifugal Fire Pumps (SER, page 9-15).

9-17).

(8) Fire detectors in a number of areas sucn as the battery rooms, arenot installed with the spacing between detectors less than thatrecommended for smooth, unobstructed ceilings (SER, page 9-17).

,

(12) Curbs are not to be provided between the HVAC system chilled waterpumps (SER 9-21). *

(13) An automatic suppression system and a one-hour fire rated barrierfor one of the divisions where the recundant circuits or equipmentare separated horizontally by less than 20 feet are not to .beprovided; however, one of the redundant circuits will be enclosedby a 1-h-hour fim rated barrier (SER, page 9-22).

The i k um hn ident.ified the:c ita.:, has contacted NRC/NRR andrequested a meeting to resolve these discrepancies. This item isidentified as Unresolved Item (395/81-13-01), Discrepancies between

j. fire protection features provided and those listed in the SER. The! inspector advised the licensee that this item should -receive prompt| attention and must be resolved prior to licensing.I

b. Fire Protection Systems and Features|

A tour of the plant was made by the inspector to inspect the followingfire protection features: .

(1) Fire Dampers

| Practically all of the fire dampers have been installed The.'

following dampers were inspected and found to be satisfactorily.installed:

NOTE: *Not safety-related.t

'

-Documentation was provided for the QC inspecticn of the safety-relateddompers. Hot t er, QC documentation could not - be located on the non-safety-related dampers. The licensee's response to Question 421.77 inthe FSAR (Amendment 16 dated November 1979) stated that the QA programis ap). led only to the installation ar:d preoperational testing of fireprotection equipment. It is not clear to what extend the QA/QC programis to be applied to items which were completed prior to the currentfire protection QA program commitment. This item will be furtherevaluated during a subsequent ~ NRC inspection. Refer to InspectorFollowup Item (395/81-13-03) in paragraph 5.b.(5).

.

(2) Fire Doors .

Th' licensee estimated that the installations of the fire doors inevarious locations throughout the plant was approximately 90*scomplete with the installation of builders hardware and final door' alignment being the primary outstanding items. The licenseestated that a final QC inspection to vert fy correct installationis to be made when the door insi.allations are complete. This willbe reviewed during a subsequent NRC inspection.

(3) Fire Resistant Coatings

The structural steel in all areas of the plant such as the controlbuilding which was required to be coated with a fire resistantcoating has been coated. The initial work was inspected by QCusing Procedure CF-27, Spray Fireproofing. The inspector reviewedthe QC inspection records for the following areas:

Location QC Inspection '

Control Bldg /Rocm 36-08 2/28/78Control Bldg / Room 48-01 2/12/78

The inspection data sheets were not approved by the QC coatingsupervisor. The licensee stated that portions of the coatingmaterials had been removed from some areas during the constructionoperations for the installation of hangers, supports, es.c. andthat these areas were presently being recoated. All of the_seareas are to be reinspected by QC prior to final acceptance by QC:and the plant.

(4) Sprinkler Systems

The installation of the sprinkler systems which were incorporatedas part of the original plant design were essentially complete.The sprinkler systems were inspected by QC to verify that theinstallation was in accordance with the construction documents.The inspector reviewed the -QC inspection documents for thefollowing systems and found this data to b2 satisfactory.

System No. Location QC Inspection

FS 09 Diesel Generator Bldg. 3/26/79FC 22 Fire Pump Bldg. 3/26/79F5 24 Service Water Pump House 3/3/81FS 20 Cable Spreading Room 5/15/80

The hydrostatic pressure test and flushing test data were not' reviewed during this inspection.

(5) Fire Alarm Systems

There are two fire alarm systems provided for the plant. Onesystem is a standard fire alarm system which is designed to meet-

the provisions of NFPA-720. Most of the fire detectors located inthe safety-related areas of the plant are connected to this alarmsystem. The second fire clarm system is actually part of the HVACalarn system but the FPER takes credit for this system in some

i areas. Fire detectors and high temperature thermostats in thei HVAC systems are connected in'to this system. This system does nat

meet tne provisions of NFPA-720 for a standard fire alarm system'

since most of the equipment is rot listed or approved by arecognized testing organization for fire protection applicationand the power and alarm circuits are not electrically supervised.This item is part of Unresolved Item (395/81-13-01) in sbove =paragraph 5.a.,

The fire alarm systemt are equired by Procedure EF-11, Inspectica ofInstallation of the Fire Service System, to be inspected by the QC

; organization. QC inspection documentation is provided for the conduit,tray 'and cable termination for the detector units in s' fety-relatedaareas. However, documentation is not provided for the installanon of

,

,the main fire alarm control panels and for the location and spacing of

'each detector unit in safety-related areas, i.e. , verification that thedetectors wera properly lc:ated was not made. The licensee's responseto FSAo question 421.77 states that the QA program for fire protectionis part of the overall QA program and installation, testing and

' subsequent operations are processed similar to those utilized for.

safety-rela'ted work. Procedura EF-11 was prepared to provide instruc-tions for the QC inspectionsLof the electrical ' equipment in the FireService Systems. Paragraph 1 of this procedure states that " electrical -

,,

QC will inspect fire service related equipment for identifiestion,location, physical' integrity and-leveling and plumbness". Paragraph

_

2, 3, 4 and 5 of this procedure states that DC will inspect and verifyproper cable installation and termination wi*.h documentation of thereinspections to ba made on "FQCP" forens. The lack 'of documentation toindicate that these inspections wece conducted on ail portions of thefire alarm system is a failure to-meet a commitment to the NRC. Thisitem is identified as Caiation Item (395/81-13-02), Inadequate QCdocumentation of the fire alarm system installation.

.

T% licensee aavised the inspector by telep.t.ne on June 1,1981, thatGC c,ocumentation had been located on the fire detection equipmentinstalled as part of the HVAC control panel r.ich was installed byanother contractor. This data will be revie>;ed during a subsequent NRCinspection and is identified as Inspector Followup Item (395/81-13-03), ,

Review of QC documentation for HVAC fire protection equipment.

Except as noted above, within the areas examined, no violations oradditic9a1 deviations were_ identified.
