NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry Unit 3 Docket No. 50-296 License No.
DPR 68 During an NRC inspection conducted on August 13 to September 16, 1995, a
violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (60 FR 34381; June 30, 1995), the violation is listed 'below:
CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these procedures.
Foreign Material Exclusion Control, an activity which affects quality by preventing the introduction of foreign material into systems relied upon to safely operate and shutdown a nuclear power plant, is accomplished by implementing the requirements of Site Standard Practice SSP-12.8, Foreign Material Exclusion.
SSP-12.8 requires that foreign material, when taken into a Foreign Material Exclusion Zone, be recorded into the Foreign Material Exclusion accountabili'ty log to ensure proper tracking of the material until it is removed from the Foreign Material Exclusion Zone.
. Contrary to the above, on August 30, 1995, while performing a walkdown of the torus interior, NRC inspectors determined that a temporary light stringer being utilized within the Foreign Material Exclusion Zone was not logged in the Foreign Material Exclusion accountability log.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
