SUBJECT:
BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT - NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION
REPORT 05000260/2003005 and 05000296/2003005
Dear Mr. Scalice:
On December 27, 2003, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an
inspection at your operating Browns Ferry Unit 2 and 3 reactor facilities. The enclosed
integrated quarterly inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed
on January 16, 2004 with Mr. Ashok Bhatnager and other members of your staff. Results from
our inspection of your Unit 1 Recovery Project are documented in a separate Unit 1 integrated
inspection report.
The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and
compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.
The inspectors reviewed selected procedures and records, observed activities, and interviewed
personnel.
This report documents a self-revealing finding of very low safety significance (Green) which was
determined to involve a violation of NRC requirements. However, because of the very low
safety significance and because the finding was entered into your corrective action program,
the NRC is treating the finding as a non-cited violation (NCV) consistent with Section VI.A of the
NRC Enforcement Policy. If you contest any non-cited violation in the enclosed report, you
should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for
your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,
Washington DC 20555-0001; with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region II; the Director,
Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-
0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.
