ENCLOSURE 1

NOTICE OF DEVIATION Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3

Docket Nos.

50-259, 50-260, and 50-296 License Nos.

DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 The following deviation was identified during a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on October 16 - November 15, 1989.

NUREG-1232, Volume 1, Safety Evaluation Report on Tennessee Valley Authority:

Revised Corporate Nuclear Performance

Plan, July 1987, stated that "TVA was requested to notity the NRC at least 30 days before making any permanent change in their organization or permanent replacement of senior managers.

The Revised Corporate Nuclear Performance

Plan, Volume I, Revision 6, states in Section III, A. 1, that is is not always possible to notify the NRC at least thirty days prior to a permanent change in senior management but TVA will keep the NRC advised of changes at the earliest possible time.

Senior Managers include the

Chairman, Nuclear Safety Review Board and the Manager of Nuclear Training.

Contrary to the

above, on October 23,
1989, TVA appointed a new NSRB Chairman; and in early November
1989, a replacement was named for the departed Manager of Nuclear Training.

Both of these senior management changes were made without formal or informal notification of the NRC either before or within a reasonable time after the changes.

TVA's senior management changes without notification of the NRC at the earliest possible time are considered a

Deviation from NPP, Volume I commitments to the NRC.

Please provide U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control

Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Associate Director for Special
Projects, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, Browns Ferry, in writing within 30 days of the date of this Notice, the reasons for the deviation, the corrective steps which have been taken and the results
achieved, the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further deviations, and the date when your corrective action will be completed.

Where good cause is

shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
