ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry 2 and 3
Docket Nos.
50-260 and 50-296 License Nos.
DPR-52 and DPR-68 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 12 - April 16,
- 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC
'nforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification Section 6.8. l.l.a, requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.
Included in the appendix are administrative procedures covering equipment control (e.g. locking and tagging).
Site Standard Practice 12.3, Equipment Clearance Procedure',
requires clearances involving control fuses located on multiple fused terminal boards that are required to be tagged shall have the control fuses
- removed, a hold notice tag attached to fuse blanks, and the fuse blanks inserted into the fuse clips.
Also, required is that each hold notice shall specify the component's positional condition on the clearance sheet.
Contrary to the above, these requirements were not met for the following two examples:
1.
On March 30,
- 1993, the inspector identified five instances of hold order tags not in place with the clearances still active.
The inspector found five tags attached to fuse blanks laying inside a control room back panel cabinet while craft were working in the panels.
2.
On April 12,
- 1993, the inspector identified two hold order tags on clearance number 3-93-0045 that did not correctly specify the component's position/condition on the clearance sheet.
The clearance sheet specified the position of PK block covers as "PLACED" but the block covers were removed and laying on the floor with the tag attached.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
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.
