An hourly roving fire _watch had been previously established for the above fire areas due to other fire protection concerns. Therefore, the requirements of Technical Specification Action Statement 3.7.11.a, were met.

Technical Specification 3.7.11 states:

"All fire penetrations *(including cable penetration barriers, fire doors and fire dampers), in fire zone boundaries, protecting safety related areas shall be functional."

Action Statement 3.7.11.a states:

"With one (1) or more of the above required fire barrier penetrations non-functional, within one hour either establish a continuous fire watch on at least one side of the affected penetration, or verify the OPERABILITY of fire detectors on at least one side of the non-functional fire ha~rier and establish an hourly fire watch patrol. Restore the non-functional fire barrier penetration(s) to functional status within 7 days or, in lieu of any other report required by Specification 6.9.1, prepare and submit a Special Report to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.2 within the next 30 days outlining the action taken, the cause of the non-functional penetration and plans and schedule for restoring the fire barrier penetration(s) to functional status."

APPARENT CAUSE OF OCCURRENCE:

The cause of the impairment of the fire barrier penetrations was to support outage related activities.

ANALYSIS OF OCCURRENCE:

The functional integrity of fire barrier penetrations ensures that fires will be confined or adequately retarded from spreading to adjacent portions of the facility. This design feature minimizes the possibility of a single fire involving several areas of the facility.

The subject fire areas contain detection devices in addition to the roving fire watch patrol. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that a fire in the areas would be detected before it could involve an adjacent area.
