NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry 2
Docket No. 50-260 License No.
DPR-52 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on May 19-June 18,
- 1990, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved failure to comply with procedures for controlling modification work activities.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1990),
the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification Section 6.8. 1, Procedures, requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 includes administrative procedures and procedures for controlling repair activities of safety-related equipment.
Site Directors Standard Practice 7.9, Integrated Schedule and Work Control, Section 6.4. 1, requires that prior to commencing modifications work activities that have the potential for affecting equipment operation which may affect the safe operation of the unit, that documented approval be obtained from plant operations personnel.
Contrary to the
- above, on Nay 29, 1990, prior documented approval from plant operations was not obtained before modifications personnel began disassembly of a piping support affecting a portion of the operating south EECW header.
The activity resulted in the failure of a dresser
- coupling, resulting in that source of cooling water supply being inoperable.
This resulted in the movement of an 18 inch header, and the dischar ge of large amounts of water in the piping tunnel with personnel in the tunnel.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I) applicable to Unit 2.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, you are hereby required to submit a
written statement or explanation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control
