An exemption from certain requirements of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50, is described in Supplement No. 5 to the SER. This exemption is a schedular exemption to the requirements of General Design Criterion 64, permitting delaying functionality of the Turbine Building Circulating Water System-Radiation Monitoring System until 5 percent power for local indication, and until 120-days after fuel load for control room indication (Appendix R of SSER 5). Exemptions from certain requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR Part 50, are described in Supplement No. 5 to the SER. These include an exemption from the requirement of Appendix J. exempcing main steam isolation valve leak-rate testing at 1.10 Pa (Section 6.2.6 of SSER 5); an exemption from Appendix J, exempting Type C testing on traversing incore probe system shear valves (Section 6.2.6 of SSER 5); an exemption from Appendix J,

exempting Type C testing for instrument lines and lines containing excess flow check valves (Section 6.2.6 of SSER 5); and an exemption from Appendix J, exempting Type C testing of thermal relief valves (Section 6.2.6 of SSER 5). These exemptions are authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to ths public health and safety, and are consistent with the common defense and security. These exemptions are hereby granted. The special circumstances regarding each exemption are identified in &he referenced section of the safety evaluation report and the supplements thereto. These exemptions are granted pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12. With these exemptions, the facility will operate, to the extent authorized herein, in conformity with the application, as amended, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Introduction of combustibles into Combustible Control Zones (CCZ) at Salem is prohibited without a Transient Combustible Permit (TCP), see Form 1, and appropriate compensatory measures. CCZs are used to limit the potential for exposure of sensitive equipment to fire and/or combustion products, to limit the potential for fire propagation through plant equipment hatches, and to reduce overall fire risk. Fixed combustible material may be installed in CCZs with approval from the fire protection designated design authority or the fire department. Transient combustibles are combustible materials that are not part of permanent plant equipment, components or installations. Transient combustibles are intended to pass through or reside in the plant for a brief duration usually associated with, but not limited to, a maintenance or design change work activity (e.g., combustible liquids, wood 8, plastic products, waste materials, scrap, rags, trash bags, electrical extension cords, ctothing hoop rings, or other corn bustible materials resulting from a work activity.)

Ensure fire watch remains for 30 minutes after hot work is completed.

Hot Work Fire Watchers:

Present and observant at all times of the work being performed and the surrounding area.

Ensure that the work area is maintained as described on the HWP Inspection at all times while hot work is being performed.

Notify the control room immediately of any fire occurring after ensuring the safety of their co-workers.

Extinguish fires within the capabilities of their training after the fire has been reported.

Remain at their post fur 30 minutes following the last hot work.

HOT WORK PROCESS OVERVIEW Hot Work Work involving ignition sources, such as welding, cutting, burning, grinding or open flame soldering, is considered Hot Work.

Hot work is a fire watch required activity.

A Hot Work Permit (HWP) shall control work involving ignition sources, such as welding, cutting, burning, grinding or open flame soldering. [CD*226C, General Daily Hot Work permits are valid for the one calendar day in which they are issued.

Annual hot work permits, with specific numbers, are issued individually for each approved shop facility on site for compliance with the New Jersey State Uniform Fire Code.

Fire watch are not required in shops where wetding and work involving ignition sources are routinely performed or in yard areas where no flammable or combustible materials are located within 35 feet of the hot work.

Separate Hot Work tracking logs should be established for the Hope Creek and Salem stations.

The NFPS should review the logs at the beginning of each operating shift to become familiar with hot work that has been authorized for the shift and what detection zones may be affected.

Hot work requires the fire watch to be maintained for 30 minutes after hot work is completed or suspended, to ensure the work area is safe from fire.

A portable fire extinguisher, inspected within the previous 30 days, is required for the hot work job.

Hot Work activities will be defined as H1GH RISK if certain criteria are met.

HIGH RISK hot work activities will require additional administrative controls and supervisory oversight, beyond the normal hot work controls.

The following hot work activities are considered HIGH RISK:

Work on tanks, vessels or piping that contained, or had contained combustible or flammable chemicals, solvents, gases, etc.

+ Work in areas identified as having hydrogen as part of equipment or processes.

Use of arc gouging or plasma arc welding which produce copious amounts of heat, with molten slag and sparks.

Work in cable shafts, filter housings, or ventilation ductwork Work in Hope Creek Drywell [CD-682-D].

0 Work on equipment containing combustible (ignitable) metals, which are listed in Table I and 2 of this procedure lgni t ab1 e Metals Ignitable metals utilized at Salem and Hope Creek Stations are identified in Tab!e 1 and Table 2.

The following precautions apply when working on or in proximity of equipment containing ignitable metals:

4.4 4.4.1 4.4.2 Metals are considered potentially combustible whenever exposed.

Notify the Fire Department (FD) of work activities involving ignitable metals prior to the exposure of the metal.

Class D fire extinguisher (identified by a yellow star with a D, located on the extinguisher body), is readily available.

Ignition mechanisms consists of oxy-acetylene or carbon-arc welding, band saw friction cutting, abrasive cutting wheels and grinding operations.

Heat sink effect dissipates ignition source heating when in bulk form.

The ignitable metal hazard increases significantly when shavings, chips, dust, etc., are involved.

Metal fines produced from combustible metals, increase the hazard potential because they act like kindling.

Proper cleanup and removal of accumulations of metal fines, produced in such operations as band saw cutting, are essential for fire prevention and safety.

An exception to this requirement is allowed for work performed in shop areas.

0 Hot work permits are required for all hot work activities.

Hinh Risk Hot Work High risk hot work is a PSEG Fire Department term applied to work with well defined and special hazard criteria.

This type of hot work is distinguished from non-high risk hot work.

High Risk hot work still involves ignition sources, such as welding, cutting, burning, grinding or open flame soldering.

High risk work involves:

0 Vessels and systems that contain, or had contained, combustible or flammable chemicals, solvents, or gases.

0 Work involving ignitable metals.

Work involving processes that produce copious amounts of heat with molten slag and sparks. For example, current industrial technology may employ equipment such as plasma arc cutting machines. This technology produces copious amounts of energetic slag and sparks.

Special and additional controls apply to high risk hot work These controls are covered under NC.FP-AP.Z7-0012(Q), Safe Hot Work Practices.

Combustible Material Control General Use and Controls - All areas:

0 Combustibles Material will be controlled IAW NC.FP-AP.22-0025 (Q).

lmpairments are formal controls that recognize, evaluate, and administratively approve and track either planned actions or emergent conditions that impact the operability of the fire protection system or a fire protection component.

Job supervisors prepare and submit impairment requests for work activities that will place fire protection equipment or system in an inoperable condition.

Nuclear fire protection supervisors (NFPS) evaluate impairment requests and emergent system and equipment issues to identify the full scope, or aggregate impact, of the issue.

0 NFPS identifies the appropriate compensatory measures and generates an impairment, accordingly.

Prior to issuing impairments, the NFPS notifies and reviews the impairment issue with the Operations Superintendent or Control Room Supervisor (OSICRS), of the affected station, and obtains 0SICRS.approval to issue the impairment..

Compensatorv Measure Fire Watch Proaram Adequate compensatory measures are required to be implemented to supplement inoperable fire protection systems and equipment Procedures SC.FP-AP.ZZ-O003(Q) and HC. FP-AP.ZZ-0004(Q) identify those systems and components requiring compensatory actions to be taken when a fire protection system or component is determined to be inoperable.

lanitable Metals The metals titanium, zirconium, and magnesium represent a special combustible material hazard class that warrants extra care and control.

These metals are classified as ignitable metals. These are metals that can burn readily, vigorously, and with a significant release of heat.

Controls relative to working on or in the vicinity of ignitable metals are provided in procedure NC.FP-AP.ZZ-004 2(Q), Safe Performance of Hot Work.
