Mr. Norman C. Moseley, Director Office of Inspection and Enforcement U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Re~ion II - Suite 818 230 Peachtree Str.eet, Nort,hwest Atlanta, Georgia 30303 -
Dear Mr. Moseley:
Serial No. 773/110375 LQA/JDL:cjd
Docket Nos. 50-280 50-281
License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37
We have reviewed IE Bulletin 75-048 forwarded by your letter of November 3, 1975.
Enclosed as Attachments 1 through 6 are copies of all fire protection inspections since March 22, 1975, and documentation relating to these inspections. Attachment 1 i~ the most recent follow-up audit of this area by the quality assurance staff. Attachment 2 is an inspection report from the Nuclear Energy Liability Property lnsurance_Association (NEL-PIA) documenting an in.spection conducted by their staff. Attachment 3 is the station response _to the initial audit conducted by the qu~l ity assurance staff in this area and a memo to file regarding station response. Attachment 4 is the initial quality assurance staff audit. Attachment 5 is a 1 ist of discrepancies prepared by the Vepco Insurance Department immediately after an NEL-PIA inspection in April 1975 and forwarded to Surry Power Stqt ion. ·Attachment 6 is a Periodic Test of firef_ighting equipment. Thi-s test is now in use at the station.
Actions taken or planned can be extracted from the initial audit, audit response, and follow-up audit. For purposes of clarity, however, they are listed as follows~
1. A person has been designated for the fire protection area havi_ng this as his prime r_esponsibil ity.
2. Station personnel have been and are being formally trained in firefighting (22 at present).
3. A fire b~igade has been established.
4. Approximately 80% of previously discovered fire equipment deficiencies had been repaired and repairs are continui_ng.
5. Repair of ventilation louvers at the top of the turbine building to provide automatic closure has been completed.
. - e . . . · VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPAMY TO Mr. Norman C. Moseley e . SHEET NO, 2
fo 1 lows:·
6. The station has established a·monthly fire prevention inspection program with.daily visual walkdown inspections in selected areas, and a monthly Periodic Test
. (PT 24.4) for fire protection systems.
7. A maintenance procedure for repair of fire-stops (EMP-C-FP-23) has been developed.
8. A Periodic Test for checking the continuing integrity of fire-stops is being dev.eloped. It is ·expected that.· this test will be i~plemented by 15 January 1976.
9. Preparations. for flammabi 1 ity testing of fire-stops and materials are being implemented. The test is scheduled to be conducted a·t the North Anna Power Station prior to the end of this year.
10 •. Engineering Study 75-21, Fire System Louver Inspection,· h·as been ·1 nit i ated by the Station e_ng i neer i_ng staff.
Vepco's position relative to the ~esults of these inspections is as
1. We believe that the results of these inspections were ~ignificant in pointing.out an area which required corrective action.
2 .. We believe that we have demonstrated effective·corrective action and have established measures which will aid in. preventing a recurrence of these discrepancies-.
3. We believe that this illustrates the effectiveness of our internal quality assurance program and that this has been corroborated by an objectiv·e third party, NEL-PIA, as set forth in Attachment 2. ·
4. We believe we have an adequate fire protection program in effect at our Surry Power Station and that it is ~odesigned that there is reasonable assurance the health and s~fety of the public will be protected at all times.
It is our position that the results of these inspections (Attachments 1 through 6) are proprietary since insurance liability can be adversely affected by exiraction of this information out of context and without reference to associated corrective action programs. It is th~refore requested that the Attachments to this report be excluded from the public document room. Vepco has no objection to generalized statements such as "NEL-PIA and internal Vepco inspections discovered deficiencies in the firefighting and fire protection pr_ogram at their operating nuclear power s:tati'on" and 11corrective action

1. The reaso·n for the use of cyclohcxane sho1.1ld be deteTr.1ined. If. it'· is necessary th~t cycloJicxane be use<l, it should all
· be kept in a single area outside of the building· at least SO feet from all buildings and pertinent structures. If its use is not.required, it should be removed from the ·site.
2. _ Three gas cylinders ·were found against the northeast .. corner of the Boiler House in a non-permanent arrangement.
If these cylinders are necessary and if they are to be ··used, a permanent arrangement should be made in an area· .· ·not' exposed to truck traffic. Also, the hydrostatic
tests of the cylinders 1,:.ere found to be outdated. Properly dated cylinders should be used ••

5. ·, The arrangement for the filling of ni trogcn bottles in the area beth·ccn the No. 0 2 Containment ancl th.e Service Building is unso.tisfactory. The trailer bringing the
·µitrogen should have ·its wheels chocked, and the lines .running from the trailer. to .the bottles should qe made. a permanent arrm1gment. As is, trailer is not chocked and the feed lines from the trailer to -the bottles is strung around ladders 7 over s tai r1,rays, etc •. . .
60 Guards· shou1c1· be inst.1llcd around the ··piping leaving the base of tho suction tank to the fire pump. This should be done as heavy equipment· is now being parked beside these Jines nnd it is-quite possible tho..t this equipment COl;l,ld des troy the lin cs •

FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM
e.· June 13, 1975
Surry Power Station
The following discrepancies were noted on a routine walkdown. Many of these items were noted in my previous memo and are still outstanding.
1. Station #22 has no fire hose and was signed off on 6-4-74 as being O.K •. The hose has been missing for 3 months.
2. Fire house #9 was signed off on 6-4-74 ~s being ok. The door

is ripped off, one of the 2-!-11 hoses has the coupling. cut off and there isn't any nozzle for the 2,!-11 hose~ The fire ax looks as if someone has been cutting sod with it.

is just a pile a pi 1 e on the ( i • e. ax,
4. The main fire station has a dual six hose connection manifold which is not usab1e because one of the valves hcis been laying ' on the ground for m<::inths. This is a com-non 1 i ne with the other hydrant making both inoperative.
5. Fire hoses are being ~sed ·for 2ny job th~t- needs water (i.~: screens bei_ng \·Jashed dm·m, clean_ing the condenser, etc.)
6. Two fire valves are damaged; one being broken off at the ground level \·thich has been that way for months. I pointed this out in my last letter.
7. Two fire extinguishers \·,ere empty in the Turbine Building and the ·inspection of the extinguisher at locationJ'l is past due ...
. 8. One extinguisher was in the containment for weeks which need
to be recharged. I brought this to the attention of the proper people three times; to my knowledge it was~'t remo~ed unt•l the workman cleared the contuinmcnt., ...
9. Cups on the various fire hydrants are missing or laying on. the ground.

10. _ CO2 is available. If a fire started the only way you could fight
it is with a stream of water; there isn't even a fog nozzle avail-. able. There should be at least a fire extinguisher at the bottle storage area.
11. The Training Building and both trailers outside the gate do not have any fire extinguishers or not enough in the right places. The area where the prints are made has two copyir:g machines and no fire extinguishers in the room or even· on that floor. If we have a fire in that area we would loose ai 1 our microfi tm cards.
12. Two fire extinguishers in the Environmental Building have not been checked since March.
13. There is no designated area for a fire extinguisher in either Safeguard Building. We have extinguishers in there but if you want one you. have to go looking for it.
14. We should have a fog nozzle at all fire stations where oil or chemical fires might breakout. A straight nozzle vlill only spread the fire. This will make it worse than if we didn't have any fire hose at all.
