Peach Bottom took four sprinkler heads per system regardless of type Head selected should not be just the easiest heads to reach as that may not be representative Head testing requirements should include increasing test pressure on heads until they actuate. In addition, the failed heads should be shipped back to the site for retention. These actions will assist with evaluation of the failure and future failures by the site.

Summer - for IRIS 525603, learning was that there was recall on this switch for CAT diesels that should have been addressed Sequoyah - for IRIS 520726, learning was that a dirty heating element shorted and caught fire. Sites should test heaters regularly (to burn dirt off) or replace older heaters. For IRIS 508878, moving the trash compactor to a less risky area than next to building was an effective corrective action to prevent reoccurance Oconee - for IRIS 521487, good to report electrical issues that did not result in a fire, it helps FPRA with risk numbers North Anna - for IRIS 519955, EDG candle flame fire was accepted condition for previous years but now a intolerance for risk is driving a modification to deal with this issue once and for all. Brunswick - for IRIS 527129, Hot work - Arch gouging caught fire cloth on fire, put out with smothering - Better work control practices are needed in future arch gouging to prevent arch gouging slag build up</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: Benchmarking and take backs Summary</title><link>https://community.nantel.org/community-forums/fire_protection/region-2/f/region-2-forum/19187/benchmarking-and-take-backs-summary/21233</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Jul 2022 21:03:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f091e2e3-9a62-4733-a93f-2c2944145d13:02461ddb-21af-464f-80a3-8b6553615c1d</guid><dc:creator>Derrick_Herrin</dc:creator><description>Name tents at chairs, name tags for folks Have something for fire trainers, fire marshals, put less in engineering side of things</description></item><item><title>Forum Post: RE: 50 year Sprinkler Head Testing - how select populations?</title><link>https://community.nantel.org/community-forums/fire_protection/region-2/f/region-2-forum/19171/50-year-sprinkler-head-testing---how-select-populations/21232</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Jul 2022 20:40:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">f091e2e3-9a62-4733-a93f-2c2944145d13:fb660f38-ffac-47df-9710-dd9c950bcf34</guid><dc:creator>Derrick_Herrin</dc:creator><description>Region II plants that have performed 50 year sprinkler head sampling: Oconee, North Anna, Surry, Farley &amp;amp; Sequoyah.

Documented heads replaced by drawing changes Oconee reported no failures in testing performed so far Wording out of NFPA 25 is representative, not 10%. Can use to leverage less heads being tested St. Lucie tested recently and on a 8 or so head system, half of the sprinkler heads failed.
