Dear Mr. Kingsley:
SUBJECT;
(NRC INSPECTION
REPORT
NOS. 50-259/89-04,
50-260/89-04,
AND
50"296/89-04)
This refers
to the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission
(NRC) special
reactive
team
inspection
conducted
by
D.
RE Carpenter
on January
4-12,
1989, at your Browns
Ferry facility near
Decatur,
The purpose
of the inspection
was to
evaluate
the conditions
which led to your initiating and partially carrying
out
the
Browns
Ferry
Unit
2
core
reload
without
adequate
core
neutron
monitoring.
A't the conclusion
of the inspection
the findings were discussed
on
January
13,
1989 with those
members
of your staff identified
in
the
enclosed
inspection report.
Your loading of fuel without adequate
core neutron monitoring is considered
to
be
a potential
unreviewed safety question,
which resulted in part,
from failure
to properly
implement
administrative
procedures
associated
with 'the
process
and failure to provide
for
adequate
review of fuel
loading
procedures.
These
issues
are
under
consideration
for escalated
enforcement
action.'ccordingly,
a Notice of Violation is not being
issued
at this time,
and
no reponse
is required.
Please
be advised that the characterization
of the
violations described
in this report
may
change
as
a result of further
NRC
review.
You will be
advised
by separate
correspondence
of the results of our
deliberations
on this matter.
In
accordance
with Section
2.790 of the
NRC's
"Rules of Practice,
"Part 2,
Title 10,
Code of Federal
Regulations,
a copy of this letter, it's enclosures
'and
any reply will be placed in the
NRC's Public Document
Room.
