Smoke Barrier Door Deficiency
Penalty
Summary
The facility failed to maintain doors in smoke barrier walls to resist the passage of smoke, affecting one of six levels within the component. During an observation on February 13, 2025, it was noted that the double smoke doors next to room 505 did not close smoke tight. Additionally, the double smoke doors next to room 526 had voids in the door frame where hardware had been removed. These issues were confirmed during an interview at the exit conference with the Chief Operating Officer, Administrator, and Maintenance Director.
