SUBJECT:

STEERlhG COMMITTEE REPORT n3]

One of the statements we often hear is that Appendix R is confusing. For clarification, I suggest you include the following in the Fire Protection Steering Comittee report:

A segment of the industry stated Appendix R is confusing.

Is the stipulation that Appendix R is confusing valid? The answer depends on how and who looks at it.

Appendix R was developed to established required fire protection

(,

features for certain specific areas which remained unresolved in the fire protection safety evaluation reports issued in 1978-79.

Since these open items were discussed at great length with the affected licensee, that licensee should certainly understand what was required to achieve full corpliance.

A team of a fire protection engineer with e systems engineer should be able to understand the Rule (Calvert Cliffs staff statement).

Because Appendix R does not stand on its own, to an individual without the requisite background and knowledge, Appendix R may be confusing.

If you think it is appropriate, you may also include:

The inspection results of the first units indicated that the licensees had not performed the re-review of the three sections (Ill.G, ll!.J and !!!.0) mandated by the Regulation. This requirement was specifically identified in a letter sent to each licensee in February 1981.
