Dear Hr. Kfngsley:

SUBJECT:

INSPECTION REPORT

NOS. 50-259/89-07)

50-260/89-07

AND 50-296/89-07

An NRC team inspection

was conducted

February

27 through March 10,

1989 to

review the implementation of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant

(BFN) Design Base-

line and Verification Program

(DBVP) at TVA's Engineering Offfces in Knoxville.

During the inspection,

the

NRC team reviewed the status of open items from the

first and second

NRC team inspection of the DBVP,

a sample of engineering cal-

culations,

design

change control documents,

and configuration control drawings.

The

NRC team also interviewed cognizant

TVA personnel

about TVA's implementation

effort of the

BFN DBVP.

The

NRC team noted

no significant deviations

from the requirements

of the

BFN

DBVP.

Most of the'deficiencies

noted during this inspection were previously

fdentiffed by TVA and the associated

corrective actions

were tracked

by the

DBVP punchlist report.

Therefore,

the

NRC team concludes that, in general,

TVA is adequately

implementing the

BFN DBVP for those essential

systems

required to safely shutdown the plant.

Upon successful

completion of the

DBVP, the

NRC team concludes that the plant configuration will be fn

conformance with the design basis.

The staff plans to verify successful

implementation of the

DBVP through

a vertical slice inspection

when the

BFN restart activities are fn the final stages

of completion.

Also, the

staff wi 11 evaluate

the reconstituted

design basfs against licensing

criterf a.

The

NRC team was also able to close

31 items left open after the ffrst and

second

NRC team inspection.

However, the

NRC team identified several

items

that

TVA needs to address.

The enclosed

inspection report details the scope, objectives,

and ffndfngs

of the

NRC inspection

team and identifies the areas

examined 'during the

fnspection

(Enclosure 1).

Your attention fs invited to the items detailed

in Section 3, Summary, of the Inspection Report.

Your response

for these

items is requested within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

The responses

directed

by this letter and fts enclosure

are not subject to

the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,

PL 86-511.
