Content:
domly selected unannounced drill shall be critiqued by qualified individuals independent of the licensee's staff. A written report from such individuals shall be available for NRC review.:- (e) Drills shall, as a minimum, include the following: i) Assessment of fire-alarm effectiveness, time required to notify and assemble the fire brigade, selection, placement and use of equipment, and firefighting strategies. ii) Assessment of each brigade member's knowledge of his or her role in the firefighting strategy for the area assumed to contain the fire. Assessment of the brigade member's compliance with established plant firefighting procedures and use of firefighting equipment, including self-contained emergency breathing apparatus, communication equipment, and ventilation equipment, to the extent practicable. iii) The simulated use of firefighting equipment required to cope with the situation and type of fire selected for the drill. The area and type of fire chosen for the drill should differ from those used in the previous drill so that brigade members are trained in fighting fires in various plant areas. The situation selected should simulate the size and configuration of a fire that could reasonably occur in the area selected, allowing for fire development due to the time required to respond, to obtain equipment, and organize for the fire, assuming the loss of automatic suppression capability. iv) Assessment of the brigade leader's direction of the firefighting effort as to thoroughness, accuracy, and effectiveness. (4) Records Individual records of training provided to each fire brigade member, -including-drill critiques,, hall be maintained for at least 3 years to ensure that each member r•ceives training in all parts of the training program. These records of training shall be available for NRC review. Retraining or broadened training for firefighting within buildings shall be scheduled for all those brigade'members whose performance records show deficiencies. -
