    Requirements of the Fire / Flame Impingement Barrier for Fire Pumps. Section
    7.8 of Surveillance Procedure PT-34.6.7.2, Revision 1, has been revised to

    pumps on a 18-month frequency.
4.  Unresolved Items
    Unresolved items were not identified during the inspection.
5.  Fire Protection Prevention Program (64703)
    a.  Fire Prevention / Administrative Controls Procedures
          The inspector ' reviewed the following Fire Prevention / Administrative
          Proced res:
          Procedure No.                              Title
          FPP-003                                    Fire Brigade Training
          FPP-004                                    Fire Brigade Personnel Medical
                                                    -and Physical Qualifications
          FPP-007                                    Control and Use of Fire
                                                      Fighting Equipment
          FPP-013                                    Weekly Fire Inspection and
                                                      Plant Housekeeping
          FPP-014                                    Control of . Combustibles - and
                                                      Transient Loads
          FPP-017                                    Control of Cutting, Welding and
                                                      Grinding
          PFP-001                                    Pre-Fire Control Procedure
          PFP-013                                    General Fire Plan
          Based on this review, it appears that the above procedures meet the NRC
          Guidelines of:
          (1) The docurnent entitled " Nuclear Plant Fire Protection functional
                Responsibilities, Administrative Controls, and Quality Assurance"
                dated June 1977.
          (2) 10 CFR 50 Appendix R - Fire Protection Programs for Nuclear Power
                Facilities.

  b.  Fire Brigade
      (1) Organizations-
            The plant fire brigade is composed of six shifts of fully dedi-
            cated fire brigade personnel. The fire brigade leader is normally
            a Senior Reactor Operator and the remaining fire brigade members
            are composed of Auxiliary Operators and a radwaste representative.
            The inspector reviewed the on-shift " fire brigade roster" for the
            dates January 8,1986 through January 22, 1986, and verified that a
            sufficient number of fire brigade personnel were on duty to meet
            the provisions of Technical Specification 6.2.2 for fire brigade
            operations and for plant operation.
      (2) Training
            The inspector reviewed the training records for six brigade Fire
            Chiefs and 13 fire brigade members assigned duty during the above
            period and found that four of the fire brigade members had not
            completed all quarterly fire brigade training and one brigade.
            member had not participated in the number of fire drills required
            by procedure FPP-003.      This is identified as Violation Item
            (324/86-04-01 and 325/86-03-01), Inadequate Fire Brigade Drills
            and Training. A sample of the records of the annual physical
            examinations and respirator training for the brigade members
            required by procedure FPP-004 were reviewed and found satisfac-
            tory.
        (3) Fire Brigade Equipment
            The inspector performed an inspection of the fire brigade equip-
            ment, consisting of fire hose, nozzles, tools, and miscellaneous
            equipment, stored at the fire brigade equipment response location
            located at the south fire equipment house.
            A total of 17 sets of turnout gear (coats, boots, helmets etc.),
            17 sets of self contained breathing apparatus, and 38 spare air
            cylinders are available.    Ten sets are located adjacent .to the
            main centrol room; two sets are in the radwaste control room; and
            five_ sets are at the south fire equipment house.
            Based on this inspection, the designated fire brigade equipment
            stored at the fire brigade equipment response locations appeared
              to be properly maintained and stored in a ready condition.
  Except as noted above, no additional violations or deviations were identi-
  fied within the areas inspected.

      Plant Tours
      Plant tours were made by the inspector on both day and night shifts. At the
      time of the inspections Unit I was in full operation.and Unit 2 was in an
      extended outage. During the plant tours portions of the following plant
      areas.and .their related fire protection features were inspected:
      Diesel Generator Building - 2',    23', and 50' elevations
      Service Water Building - 4', 20' elevations
      Reactor Building Unit 2 - (-)17', 20' and 50' elevations
      Reactor Building Unit 1 - 20' - 50' Elevations and Refueling Floor Control
      Building - 23' and 49' elevations
      The inspector visually inspected the fire / smoke detection capabilities, and
      the manual firefighting equipment (i.e., portable extinguishers, hose
      stations, etc.) and the fire barrier walls associated with the above plant
      areas.
      Based on the visual inspection, it appears that the fire protection features
      associated with the above plant areas were properly maintained and fully
      functional, except that a number of fire doors in the diesel generator
      building were not in service. However, the licensee had established the LCO
      requirements of the Technical Specifications for these areas.
      The plant tours also reviewed the licensee's implementation of the fire
      protection administrative procedures. On January 22, 1986, the inspector
      and the Brunswick plant Fire Protection Engineer accompanied members of the
          -
      Fire Protection Support group during their conduction of a weekly fire
      inspection per the criteria of procedures FPP-013 and .FPP-014 of the Service
      Water Building and Diesel Generator Building. During this walkthrough the
      inspector observed a non fire-retardant wood crate, combustible cardboard
      and rubber gasketing material associated with Unit 2 maintenance work which
      had obstructed fire protection equipment in the Unit 1 area of the Service
      Water Building. Also identified was flammable oil accumulations on the
      floor, conduits and cable trays within the 2' elevation of the diesel
      generator building. These conditions were reported to the licensee.        The
      licensee's fire protection support group inspector during this walkthrough
      did not identify or note any of these conditions on the FPP-013 checklist.
      FPP-013 requires the inspectors to note any identified condition which could
      adversely affect the fire protection status of the area.        Failure to
      identify, and not correct the above mentioned conditions which are adverse
      to the fire protection of the area is considered a faihre to implement
      FPP-013. This constitutes a violation of Technical Specification 6.8.1.f,
      which requires that written procedures for the fire protection program be
      implemented and is identified as Violation Item (324/86-04-02 and
      325/86-03-02), Failure to Implement Fire Protection Procedure FPP-013.

                                        5
    Several _ welding operations were observed in the Unit-2 reactor building
    during outage maintenance activities. An approved " Hot Work" permit had
    been issued for the welding sites and the operations and fire prevention /
    protection practices generally met the licensee's fire prevention procedure
    requirements.
    The general housekeeping as a whole had deteriorated somewhat since the last
    NRC fire protection . inspection. This can be contributed to the Unit 2
    outage activities and the licensee's failure to identify and correct adverse
    housekeeping practices as identified _ by above Violation Item 324/86-04-02
    and 325/86-03-02.
    Except as noted above, no additional violations or deviations were identi-
    fied within the areas inspected.
7.  Inspector Followup Items
      (Closed) Inspector Followup Item, (324/84-37-01 and 325/84-37-01), Surveil-
    lance Testing for Eight Hour Battery Powered Emergency Lighting Units.
    Procedure PT-34.15.9.1 Revision 0, was issued on November 13, 1985, to
    provide semiannual physical inspection and lighting head positioning for all
    Appendix R Emergency Lighting . Units. In addition, this procedure provides
    for an 18-month battery capacity 8-hour discharge test for a 10% sample of
      the emergency lighting units. The scope of testing and schedule provided in
      the procedure appear acceptable.
