Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3
ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Docket Nos. 50-259, 50-260, and 50-296 License Nos.
DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on December 16, 1991 - January 16,
- 1992, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
The violation involved failure to follow the Unit Separation procedure for personnel access.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
( 1991), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, Instructions, Procedures, and
- Drawings, requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.,
Site Procedure, SSP-12.50, Unit Separation for Recovery Activities, Section 3.4, implements the requirement for control of personnel access into Unit 2 operating
- spaces, and directs Unit 3 personnel to wear color coded hardhats and'unique plant access picture badges.
Contrary to the above, this requirement was not met on January 8, 1992, when a
NRC inspector identified Unit 3 personnel without uniquely identified access badges.
Licensee action to resolve this issue in December,
- 1991, did not correct this problem.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I) applicable to all three uni ts.
0 Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, the Tennessee Valley Authority is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.

If an adequate reply is not received in the time specified in this Notice, an order or demand for i nformation may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
