REPORT DETAILS

Background

This report presents the results of a triennial fire protection inspection conducted in accordance with NRC Inspection Procedure (IP) 71111.05T, "Fire Protection." The objective of the inspection was to assess whether Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) had implemented an adequate fire protection program and whether post-fire safe shutdown capabilities had been established and were properly maintained at Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (Oyster Creek). The following fire areas (FAs) and associated fire zones (FZs) were selected for detailed review based on prior inspection results and risk insights from the Oyster Creek Individual Plant Examination of External Events (IPEEE):

Fire Areas (Fire Zones)

  • TB-FZ-11D
  • RB-FZ-1F3
  • OB-FZ-22A

Inspection of these fire areas/zones fulfilled the inspection procedure requirement to inspect a minimum of three samples.

The inspection team evaluated Exelon's fire protection program (FPP) against applicable requirements which included Operating License Condition, NRC Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs), 10 CFR 50.48, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix R. The team also reviewed related documents that included the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Section 9.5.1, fire protection plan, fire hazards analysis (FHA), and post-fire safe shutdown analyses.

The team evaluated aspects of five mitigating strategies for responding to large fires and explosions, as required by Operating License Condition 2.C.17 and 10 CFR 50.54(hh)(2). The team also reviewed related documents that included NEI 06-12, "B.5.b Phases 2 & 3 Submittal Guidance," Revision 2 (ML070090060). Inspection of these strategies fulfills the inspection procedure requirement to inspect a minimum of one sample.

Specific documents reviewed by the team are listed in the attachment to this report.

REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

==1R05 Fire Protection (IP 71111.05T)

==

.1 Protection of Safe Shutdown Capabilities

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed the FHA, safe shutdown analyses, and supporting drawings and documentation to verify that post-fire safe shutdown capabilities were properly protected.

The team ensured that applicable separation requirements of Section III.G of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, and the licensees design and licensing bases were maintained for the credited safe shutdown equipment and their supporting power, control, and instrumentation cables. This review included an assessment of the adequacy of the selected systems for reactivity control, reactor coolant makeup, reactor heat removal, process monitoring and associated support system functions.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.2 Passive Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

The team walked down accessible portions of the selected fire areas to evaluate whether the material conditions of the fire area boundaries were adequate for the fire hazards in the area. The team compared the fire area boundaries including walls, ceilings, floors, fire doors, fire dampers, penetration seals, electrical raceway and conduit fire barriers, and redundant equipment fire barriers and radiant energy heat barriers to the design and licensing basis requirements, industry standards, and the OCNGS FPP, as approved by the NRC, to identify any potential degradation or non-conformances.

The team reviewed selected engineering evaluations and qualification records for a sample of penetration seals to determine whether the fill material was properly installed and whether the as-left configuration satisfied design requirements for the intended fire rating. The team also reviewed similar records for selected fire protection wraps to verify whether the material and configuration was appropriate for the required fire rating and conformed to the engineering design.

The team also reviewed recent inspection and test records for fire dampers and the inspection records for penetration seals and fire barriers to verify whether the inspection and testing was adequately conducted, the acceptance criteria were met, and any potential performance degradation was identified.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.3 Active Fire Protection

a. Inspection Scope

The team evaluated manual and automatic fire suppression and detection systems in the selected fire areas to determine whether they were installed, tested, maintained and operated in accordance with NRC requirements, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes of record and the OCNGS FPP. The team also assessed whether the suppression systems capabilities were adequate to control and/or extinguish fires associated with the hazards in the selected areas.

The team reviewed the as-built capability of the fire water supply system to verify whether the design and licensing basis and NFPA code of record requirements were satisfied and to assess whether those capabilities were adequate for the hazards involved. The team reviewed the fire water system design and hydraulic analysis to assess the adequacy of the system to supply the largest single hydraulic load on the fire water system plus concurrent fire hose usage with one fire pump out of service. The team evaluated fire pump performance tests to assess the adequacy of the test acceptance criteria for pump minimum discharge pressure at the required flow rate to verify whether the criteria was adequate to ensure that the design basis requirements were satisfied. The team also evaluated the underground fire loop flow tests and flushes to verify whether the combination of the tests and flushes adequately demonstrated that the flow distribution circuits were able to meet design basis requirements. In addition, the team reviewed recent pump and loop flow test results to verify whether the testing was adequately conducted, the acceptance criteria were met and any potential performance degradation was identified.

The team walked down accessible portions of the detection and water suppression systems in the selected areas and major portions of the fire water supply system, including the motor and two diesel driven fire pumps, interviewed system and program engineers, and reviewed selected issue reports (IRs) to independently assess the material condition of the systems and components. In addition, the team reviewed recent test results for the fire detection and suppression systems for the selected fire areas to verify whether the testing was adequately conducted, the acceptance criteria were met and any potential performance degradation was identified.

The team assessed the fire brigade capabilities by reviewing training, qualification, and drill critique records. The team also reviewed Exelon's firefighting strategies (i.e., pre-fire plans) and smoke removal plans for the selected fire areas to determine if appropriate information was provided to fire brigade members and plant operators to identify safe shutdown equipment and instrumentation, and to facilitate suppression of a fire that could impact post-fire safe shutdown capability. The team independently inspected the fire brigade equipment, including personnel protective gear (e.g., turnout gear) and smoke removal equipment, to determine operational readiness for firefighting.

In addition, the team reviewed Exelon's fire brigade equipment inventory and inspection procedure and recent inspection and inventory results to verify whether adequate equipment was available, and whether any potential material deficiencies were identified.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.4 Protection from Damage from Fire Suppression Activities

a. Inspection Scope

The team performed document reviews and plant walkdowns to determine whether redundant trains of systems required for post-fire safe shutdown, located in the same or adjacent fire areas, were subject to damage from fire suppression activities or from the rupture or inadvertent operation of fire suppression systems. Specifically, the team evaluated whether:

  • A fire in one of the selected fire areas would release smoke, heat or hot gases that could cause unintended activation of suppression systems in adjacent fire areas which could potentially damage all redundant safe shutdown trains or
  • A fire suppression system rupture, inadvertent actuation or actuation due to a fire, in one of the selected fire areas, could directly damage all redundant trains (e.g.

sprinkler caused flooding of other than the locally affected train) and

  • Adequate drainage was provided in areas protected by water suppression systems

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.5 Alternative Shutdown Capability

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed the safe shutdown analysis, operating procedures, piping and instrumentation drawings (P&lDs), electrical drawings, the UFSAR, and other supporting documents for the selected fire areas to verify whether Exelon had properly identified the systems and components necessary to achieve and maintain post-fire safe shutdown conditions. The team evaluated selected systems and components credited by the safe shutdown analysis for reactor pressure control, reactivity control, reactor coolant makeup, decay heat removal, process monitoring, and support system functions to assess the adequacy of Exelon's alternative shutdown methodology. The team also assessed whether alternative post-fire shutdown could be performed both with and without the availability of off-site power. The team walked down selected plant configurations to verify whether they were consistent with the assumptions and descriptions in the safe shutdown and fire hazards analyses. In addition, the team evaluated whether the systems and components credited for use during post-fire safe shutdown would remain free from fire damage.

The team reviewed the training program for licensed and non-licensed operators to verify whether it included alternative shutdown capability. The team also verified whether personnel required for post-fire safe shutdown, using either the normal or alternative shutdown methods, were trained and available on-site at all times, exclusive of those assigned as fire brigade members.

The team reviewed the adequacy of procedures utilized for post-fire shutdown and performed an independent walk through of procedure steps (i.e., a procedure tabletop)to assess the adequacy of implementation and human factors within the procedures.

The team also evaluated the time required to perform specific actions to verify whether operators could reasonably be expected to perform those actions within sufficient time to maintain plant parameters within specified limits.

Specific procedures reviewed for normal and alternative post-fire shutdown included:

  • ABN-30, Control Room Evacuation, Rev. 25
  • FSP-TB11D, Turbine Building Basement Fire Support Procedure, Rev. 8
  • FSP-RB1F3, Reactor Building Elev. -19 Foot, Rev. 3

The team reviewed selected operator manual actions to verify whether they had been properly reviewed and approved and whether the actions could be implemented in accordance with plant procedures in the time necessary to support the safe shutdown method for each fire area. The team also reviewed the periodic testing of the alternative shutdown transfer and isolation capability, and instrumentation and control functions, to evaluate whether the tests were adequate to ensure the functionality of the alternative shutdown capability.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.6 Circuit Analysis

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed Exelon's post-fire safe shutdown analysis for the selected fire areas to determine whether the analysis identified both required and associated electrical circuits and cables for the systems and components necessary to achieve and maintain safe shutdown. The team reviewed electrical schematics and cable routing data for power, control, and instrument cables associated with selected components.

Specifically, the team evaluated the selected circuits and cables to determine whether they were

(a) adequately protected from potential fire damage, or
(b) analyzed to show that fire-induced faults (e.g., hot shorts, open circuits, and shorts to ground) would not prevent safe shutdown, or
(c) analyzed to show that potential damage could be mitigated with approved operator manual actions, in order to verify whether fire-induced faults could adversely impact safe shutdown capabilities. The team's evaluations considered credible fire scenarios, cable insulation attributes, cable failure modes, cable routing, and common power supply or electrical bus configurations.

In addition, the team reviewed cable raceway drawings and cable routing databases for a sample of components required for post-fire safe shutdown to determine whether those cables were routed as described in the safe shutdown analysis. The team also reviewed equipment important to safe shutdown, but not part of the success path, to assess whether Exelon's safe shutdown methodologies were appropriate, conformed to design and licensing basis requirements, and appropriately considered the guidance in NRC Regulatory Guide 1.189, "Fire Protection for Nuclear Power Plants," revision 2.

Cable failure modes were reviewed for the following components:

  • P-15-1B

B Control Rod Drive Pump

A Isolation Condenser Shell Water Level

The team reviewed a sample of circuit breaker and over-current protection coordination studies to determine whether equipment needed for post-fire safe shutdown activities could be adversely affected due to a lack of coordination that could result in a common power supply or common electrical bus concern. The team also evaluated whether coordination studies appropriately considered multiple faults due to fire. In addition, the team reviewed a sample of circuit breaker maintenance records, for components required for safe shutdown, to determine whether the breakers were properly maintained.

The team assessed the transfer of control from the control room to the alternative shutdown locations to determine whether it would be affected by fire-induced circuit faults (e.g., by the provision of separate fuses and power supplies for alternative shutdown control circuits).

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.7 Communications

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed safe shutdown procedures, the safe shutdown analysis, and associated documents to verify whether an adequate method of communications would be available to plant operators following a fire. Specifically, the team evaluated whether plant telephones, page systems, and portable radios would be available for use and were properly maintained. During this review, the team considered the effects of ambient noise levels, clarity of reception, reliability, and coverage patterns. The team inspected selected emergency storage lockers to independently verify whether portable communication equipment was available for the fire brigade and plant operators. In addition, the team evaluated whether radio or phone repeaters, transmitters, and power supplies would be reasonably unaffected by a fire.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.8 Emergency Lighting

a. Inspection Scope

The team walked down the emergency lights in the selected fire areas to independently evaluate the placement and coverage areas of the lights. The team assessed whether the lights provided adequate illumination on local equipment and instrumentation required for post-fire safe shutdown, to ensure local operations could be reliably performed under expected post-fire conditions. In addition, emergency light placement was also evaluated to determine adequate illumination of local area access and egress pathways.

The team verified whether the emergency light batteries were rated for at least an eight-hour capacity. The team interviewed system engineers and technical staff to evaluate the adequacy and the performance of the Emergency lighting Units (ELUs).

Preventive maintenance procedures, the vendor manual, conductance tests, and battery replacement practices were also reviewed to evaluate whether the ELUs had been maintained in a manner that would ensure reliable operation.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.9 Cold Shutdown Repairs

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed Exelon's dedicated repair procedures, for components which might be damaged by fire and were required to achieve post-fire cold shutdown. The team evaluated selected cold shutdown repairs to determine whether they could be achieved within the time frames assumed in the design and licensing bases. In addition, the team verified whether the necessary repair equipment, tools, and materials (e.g., pre-cut cables with prepared attachment lugs) were available and accessible on site.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.10 Compensatory Measures

a. Inspection Scope

The team verified whether compensatory measures were in place for out-of-service, degraded, or inoperable fire protection and post-fire safe shutdown equipment, systems, or features (e.g., detection and suppression systems and equipment, passive fire barriers, pumps, valves, or electrical devices providing safe shutdown functions or capabilities). The team evaluated whether the short term compensatory measures adequately compensated for the degraded function or feature until appropriate corrective action could be taken and whether Exelon was effective in returning the equipment to service in a reasonable period of time.

The team reviewed selected compensatory measures in the form of operator manual actions for 10 CFR 50 Appendix R, Section III.G.2 areas to evaluate whether those actions could be reasonably accomplished. Specific attributes reviewed included availability of diagnostic instrumentation, expected environmental conditions, minimum staffing, communications, equipment availability, training, procedures, and verification and validation.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.11 Review and Documentation of FPP Changes

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed recent changes to the approved fire protection program to assess whether those changes had an adverse effect on the ability to safely shutdown.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.12 Control of Transient Combustibles and Ignition Sources

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed Exelon's procedures and programs for the control of ignition sources and transient combustibles to assess their effectiveness in preventing fires and in controlling combustible loading within limits established in the FHA. A sample of hot work and transient combustible control permits were reviewed to assess the adequacy of Exelon's fire protection program administrative controls. The team performed plant walkdowns to independently verify whether transient combustibles and ignition sources were being properly controlled in accordance with the administrative controls.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

.13 Large Fires and Explosions Mitigation Strategies

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed selected mitigation strategies intended to maintain or restore core cooling, containment integrity, and spent fuel pool cooling capabilities under the circumstances associated with loss of large areas of the plant due to large fires or explosions. The team assessed whether Exelon continued to meet the requirements of license condition 2.C.17. The team reviewed five mitigation strategies:

  • Operation of the electro-magnetic relief valves using the portable power supply;
  • Manual operation of the isolation condenser for B.5.b events;
  • External makeup to the isolation condensers using the portable pump;
  • External makeup to the fuel pool using the B.5.b pump and,
  • Manually opening containment vent valves in a B.5.b event

The team's review included: a detailed assessment of the procedural guidance; a walkdown of the strategy with a trained operator to assess the feasibility of the strategy and operator familiarity; a review of maintenance and surveillance test records for the strategy equipment; and an independent inventory check of the strategy equipment, materials, and tools to ensure the appropriateness of equipment storage and availability.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA2 Identification and Resolution of Problems

(IP 71152)

a. Inspection Scope

The team reviewed a sample of issue reports and action requests associated with the fire protection program, post-fire safe shutdown issues, and mitigation strategy issues to determine whether Exelon was appropriately identifying, characterizing, and correcting problems associated with these areas and whether the planned or completed corrective actions were appropriate. The condition reports reviewed are listed in the attachment.

b. Findings

No findings were identified.

4OA6 Meetings, including Exit

The team presented the inspection results to Mr. R. Peak, Plant Manager, and other members of Exelon 's staff on April 11, 2014. The team verified that this report does not contain proprietary information.
