REACTOR SAFETY

Cornerstones: Initiating Events, Mitigating Systems, and Barrier Integrity

1R05 Fire Protection (71111.05TTP)

Indiana Michigan Power Company, the licensee, in a letter (ML060090370) to the U. S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated December 28, 2005, committed to adopt

the National Fire Protection Association Standard (NFPA) 805, Performance-Based

Standard for Fire Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants, 2001

Edition, as defined by 10 CFR 50.48(c) for the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Power Plant.

The NFPA 805 standard established a comprehensive set of requirements for fire

protection programs at nuclear power plants. The standard incorporated both

deterministic and risk-informed, performance-based concepts. The deterministic

aspects of the standard are comparable to traditional requirements. However, the

transition to a risk-informed, performance-based fire protection program requires an

in-depth nuclear safety circuit analysis for equipment identified for nuclear safety

functions such as safe-shutdown. Because the conversion and licensing process to

NFPA 805 was expected to identify and address a variety of issues that were normally

the subject of the triennial fire protection baseline inspection, the NRC modified the fire

protection inspection program and Enforcement Policy for licensees in transition to

NFPA 805. As a result, this inspection was conducted in accordance with Inspection

Procedure (IP) 71111.05TTP, Fire Protection - NFPA 805 transition Period (Triennial),

dated May 9, 2006. Associated with the transition to NFPA 805, when a certain finding

not associated with a finding of high safety-significance meets the four criteria

established by Section A of the NRC's Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding

Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48), the violation

would receive enforcement discretion in accordance with the NRC's Enforcement

Policy.

The purpose of the fire protection triennial baseline inspection was to conduct a

design-based, plant specific, risk-informed, onsite inspection of the licensees fire

protection programs defense-in-depth elements used to mitigate the consequences of

a fire. The fire protection program shall extend the concept of defense-in-depth to fire

protection in plant areas important to safety by:

preventing fires from starting;

rapidly detecting, controlling and extinguishing fires that do occur; and

providing protection for structures, systems, and components important to

safety so that a fire that is not promptly extinguished by fire suppression

activities will not prevent the safe-shutdown of the reactor plant.

The inspectors evaluation focused on the design, operational status, and material

condition of the reactor plants fire protection program and post-fire safe-shutdown

systems. The objectives of the inspection were to assess whether the licensee had

implemented a fire protection program that: (1) provided adequate controls for

combustibles and ignition sources inside the plant; (2) provided adequate fire detection

and suppression capability; (3) maintained passive fire protection features in good

Enclosure

3

material condition; (4) established adequate compensatory measures for

out-of-service, degraded or inoperable fire protection equipment, systems or features;

(5) ensured that procedures, equipment, fire barriers, and systems exist so that the

post-fire capability to safely shut down the plant was ensured; (6) included feasible and

reliable operator manual actions when appropriate to achieve safe-shutdown; and

(7) identified fire protection issues at an appropriate threshold and ensured these

issues were entered into the licensees problem identification and resolution program.

In addition, the inspectors review and assessment focused on the licensees post-fire

safe-shutdown systems for selected risk-significant fire areas. Inspector emphasis

was placed on determining that the post-fire safe-shutdown capability and the fire

protection features were maintained free of fire damage to ensure that at least one

post-fire safe-shutdown success path was available. The inspection was performed in

accordance with the NRCs regulatory oversight process using a risk-informed

approach for selecting the fire areas and attributes to be inspected. The inspectors,

with assistance from a Senior Reactor Analyst (SRA), used the licensees Individual

Plant Examination for External Events (IPEEE) to select several risk-significant areas

for detailed inspection and review. Documents reviewed are listed in the Attachment to

this report.

The fire areas and/or fire zones selected for review during this inspection are listed

below and constituted five inspection samples as defined in IP 71111.05TTP.

Shutdown from Outside Main Control Room

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the functional requirements identified by the licensee as

necessary for achieving and maintaining hot shutdown conditions to ensure that at

least one post-fire safe-shutdown success path was available in the event of fire in

each of the selected fire areas and for alternative shutdown in the case of control room

evacuation. The inspectors reviewed the plant systems required to achieve and

maintain post-fire safe-shutdown to determine if the licensee had properly identified the

components and systems necessary to achieve and maintain safe-shutdown conditions

for each fire area selected for review. Specifically, the review was performed to

determine the adequacy of the systems selected for reactivity control, reactor coolant

inventory makeup, reactor heat removal, process monitoring, and support system

functions. The review also included the fire safe-shutdown analysis to ensure that all

Enclosure

4

required components in the selected systems were included in the licensees

safe-shutdown analysis.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees post-fire safe-shutdown analysis, normal and

abnormal operating procedures, piping and instrumentation drawings, electrical

drawings, their updated final safety analysis report, and other supporting documents to

verify that hot and cold shutdown could be achieved and maintained from outside the

control room for fires that rely on shutdown from outside the control room. This review

included verification that shutdown from outside the control room could be performed

both with and without the availability of offsite power.

The inspectors also examined the operators ability to perform the necessary manual

actions for achieving safe-shutdown by reviewing post-fire shutdown procedures, the

accessibility of safe-shutdown equipment, and the available time for performing the

actions.

The inspectors reviewed the updated final safety analysis report and the licensees

engineering and/or licensing justifications (e.g., NRC guidance documents, license

amendments, Technical Specifications, safety evaluation reports, exemptions, and

deviations) to determine the licensing basis.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

.2

Protection of Safe-shutdown Capabilities

a.

Inspection Scope

For each of the selected fire areas, the inspectors reviewed the fire hazards analysis,

safe-shutdown analysis, and supporting drawings and documentation to verify that

safe-shutdown capabilities were properly protected.

The inspectors reviewed the licensee 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 fire hazards

analysis. The inspectors performed plant walkdowns to verify that protective features

were being properly maintained and administrative controls were being implemented.

The inspectors also reviewed the licensees design control procedures to ensure that

the process included appropriate reviews and controls to assess plant changes for any

potential adverse impact on the fire protection program and/or post-fire safe-shutdown

analysis and procedures.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

Enclosure

.3

Passive Fire Protection

a.

Inspection Scope

For the selected fire areas, the inspectors evaluated the adequacy of fire area barriers,

penetration seals, fire doors, electrical raceway fire barriers, and fire rated electrical

cables. The inspectors observed the material condition and configuration of the

installed barriers, seals, doors, and cables. The inspectors reviewed approved

construction details and supporting fire tests. In addition, the inspectors reviewed

license documentation, such as NRC safety evaluation reports, and deviations from

NRC regulations and NFPA standards to verify that fire protection features met license

commitments.

The inspectors walked down accessible portions of the selected fire areas to observe

material condition and the adequacy of design of fire area boundaries (including walls,

fire doors, and fire dampers) to ensure they were appropriate for the fire hazards in the

area.

The inspectors reviewed the installation, repair, and qualification records for a sample

of penetration seals to ensure the fill material was of the appropriate fire rating and that

the installation met the engineering design.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

.4

Active Fire Protection

a.

Inspection Scope

For the selected fire areas, the inspectors evaluated the adequacy of fire suppression

and detection systems. The inspectors observed the material condition and

configuration of the installed fire detection and suppression systems. The inspectors

reviewed design documents and supporting calculations. In addition, the inspectors

reviewed license basis documentation, such as, NRC safety evaluation reports,

deviations from NRC regulations, and NFPA standards to verify that fire suppression

and detection systems met license commitments.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

.5

Protection from Damage from Fire Suppression Activities

a.

Inspection Scope

For the selected fire areas, the inspectors verified that redundant trains of systems

required for hot shutdown would not be subject to damage from fire suppression

activities or from the rupture or inadvertent operation of fire suppression systems

including the effects of flooding. The inspectors conducted walkdowns of each of the

Enclosure

6

selected fire areas to assess conditions such as the adequacy and condition of floor

drains, equipment elevations, and spray protection.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

.6

Alternative Shutdown Capability

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed the licensees systems required to achieve alternative safe-

shutdown to determine if the licensee had properly identified the components and

systems necessary to achieve and maintain safe-shutdown conditions. The inspectors

also focused on the adequacy of the systems to perform reactor pressure control,

reactivity control, reactor coolant makeup, decay heat removal, process monitoring,

and support system functions.

The inspectors conducted selected area walkdowns to determine if operators could

reasonably be expected to perform the alternate safe-shutdown procedure actions and

that equipment labeling was consistent with the alternate safe-shutdown procedure.

The review also looked at operator training as well as consistency between the

operations shutdown procedures and any associated administrative controls.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

.7

Circuit Analyses

a.

Inspection Scope

In accordance with IP 71111.05TTP, Fire Protection - NFPA 805 Transition Period

(Triennial), dated May 9, 2006, this section of the IP was suspended for facilities in

NFPA 805 transition.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

.8

Communications

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors reviewed, on a sample basis, the adequacy of the communication

system to support plant personnel in the performance of alternative safe-shutdown

functions and fire brigade duties. The inspectors verified that plant telephones, page

systems, sound powered phones, and radios were available for use and maintained in

working order. The inspectors reviewed the electrical power supplies and cable routing

for these systems to verify that either the telephones or the radios would remain

functional following a fire.

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspectors conducted a review to verify that 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 inspectors also conducted a review on

the adequacy of short term compensatory measures to compensate for a degraded

function or feature until appropriate corrective actions were taken.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

4OA2 Problem Identification and Resolution (71152)

a.

Inspection Scope

The inspector reviewed the licensees corrective action program procedures and

samples of corrective action documents to verify that the licensee was identifying issues

related to the fire protection program at an appropriate threshold and entering them in

the corrective action program. The inspectors reviewed selected samples of condition

reports, design packages, and fire protection system non-conformance documents.

b.

Findings

No findings of safety-significance were identified.

4OA3 Follow-Up of Events and Notices of Enforcement Discretion (71153)

(Closed)Licensee Event Report (LER) 05000315/2008-002-00: 250Vdc Cable

Separation Criteria for 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R Not Met

This event, which occurred on February 6, 2008, during the licensees transition to

NFPA 805, a finding of nonconformance and a violation of NRC requirements (see

Section 4OA7), was discovered by the licensee in their Appendix R fire protection

analyses for both units. The finding involved the failure to identify a short section of

Train A 250Vdc conduit enclosed cable passing through the Train B 4kV switchgear

room. The routing of the unprotected conduit enclosed cable presented a potential fire

hazard which, if left unprotected, could disable both the Train B switchgear as-well-as

the remote control to the Train A 4kV switchgear due to fire damaged should a fire occur

in the Train B 4kV switchgear room. As a result, the licensee issued AR00825805,

Appendix R Compliance for Train B 4kV Room Fire. In addition, compensatory fire

watch tours of the affected fire zones were established and remained in effect until

permanent corrective actions were implemented. Permanent corrective action included

wrapping the conduit with a fire retardant material and converting the CO2 suppression

system from manual to automatic in accordance with the requirements of Appendix R,

Section III.G.2.(c). In addition, the applicable design documents were updated to reflect

the installed fire protective material.

The inspectors reviewed the licensees corrective actions for the above described

Appendix R nonconformance finding. The inspectors review of applicable licensee

documents showed that the licensee had established compensatory fire watch tours for

the affected fire zones and that the fire watch tours remained in effect until permanent

corrective actions were implemented. Based on the inspectors review of applicable

modification documents (e.g., EC-48720 and EC-48721) and by independent walkdown

observations, the inspectors concluded that the previously unprotected conduit enclosed

cable was now wrapped with an appropriate fire retardant material (i.e., 3M' Interam)

and that the CO2 suppression system was converted from a manual suppression system

to an automatic suppression system to restore conformance with the requirements of

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Paragraph III.G.2(c) requirements and the licensees

original Appendix R Program assumptions. The inspectors concluded that the licensees

corrective actions, both taken and planned, were appropriate and reasonable.

Enclosure

The enforcement aspects of this finding are discussed in Section 4OA7. Documents

reviewed as part of this inspection are listed in the Attachment. This LER is closed.

This event follow-up review constituted one sample as defined in IP 71153-05.

4OA6 Management Meetings

.1

Exit Meeting Summary

On November 20, 2009, the inspectors presented the inspection results to Mr. Larry

Webber and other members of the licensee staff. The licensee acknowledged the issues

presented. The inspectors confirmed that none of the potential report input discussed

was considered proprietary.

4OA7 Licensee-Identified Violations

The following violation of very low safety-significance (Green) was identified by the

licensee and is a violation of NRC requirements which meet the criteria of the NRC

Enforcement Policy, for being dispositioned as a NCV.

Title 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, requires, in part, that one train of systems necessary to

achieve and maintain hot shutdown conditions from either the control room or emergency

control station is free of fire damage. On February 6, 2008, the licensee identified an

Appendix R non-compliance (see Section 4OA3), where the Train A 4kV switchgear would

not be free of fire damage to support safe-shutdown in the unlikely event of a postulated

fire in the Train B 4kV switchgear room. The licensee performed a safety-significance

evaluation (i.e., PRA Study 054) and determined that the issue was not of high safety-

significance (i.e., the event had a CDF of 1.93E-7). The inspectors concurred with the

overall results of the licensees evaluation for safety-significance. This finding met the

criteria for enforcement discretion under Interim Enforcement Policy Regarding

Enforcement Discretion for Certain Fire Protection Issues (10 CFR 50.48) published in

Federal Register Notices dated June 16, 2004; January 14, 2005; and April 18, 2006.
