APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Bxowns Perry Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 License No. DPR-52 Based on the NRC inspection May 30 - June 1,
1979, certain of your activities were apparently not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indi-cated below.
These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
Technical Specification 6.3.A., requires that detailed written procedures, including applicable check-off lists covering normal startup, operation and shutdown of the reactor and of all systems and components involving nuclear safety of the facility shall be prepared,
- approved, and adhered to.
Procedure BF12.7 specifies that oncoming operating personnel will "acquaint themselves with plant conditions with special emphasis on abnormal or unusual conditions...and review journal entries back to the persons last shift or back five days."
Oncoming personnel other than operations are required to "acquaint themselves with the plant status, acquaint themselves with abnormal or unusual conditions, and acquaint themselves with instruc" tion from their supervisor or shift engineer."
Contrary to the above, this procedure was not adhered to in that on 5/29/79, the oncoming Nuclear Engineer supplied to operations for startup a rod withdrawal sequence that had been demonstrated to result in high control rod notch worths on 5/26 and 5/27/79 and that had been superceded by a
revised sequence on 5/27/79.
Additionally, the oncoming shift engineer put this sequence into use for reactor startup, and was apparently unaware of the short period events occuring on 5/26-27/79.
This had great potential for causing a repeat of the short period event and is an item of noncompli-ance.
This is an infraction.
