24 HOUR REPORT REQUIRED BY PLANT OPERATING LICENSE
"This notification is being made to report a violation of the Salem Unit 2 Operating Licensee Section 2.C.10, 'Fire Protection.' Approximately 95% of the installed emergency lights on Unit 2 have been rendered inoperable as a result of discharge testing. Per the Fire Protection Program, these lights being inoperable would require that suitable hand held lighting be available to operators required to perform Appendix 'R' shutdown activities. These lights were checked and of the 16 lights(8 per Unit) 8 did not pass the required 3 minute test(at 1915). This constituted a violation of the fire protection program requirements and could have reduced operators ability to respond to a shut-down from outside the control room. The 8 inoperable hand held lights have been replaced with operable hand held lights, bring the unit into compliance with the Fire Protection Program at 2020 on 2/27/01."
The NRC Resident Inspector was notified.
