INSPECTION
REPORT
NOS. 50-259/93-25,
50-260/93-25,
AND
50-296/93-25)
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by C. A. Patterson
of this office on
June
19,
1993 - July 16,
1993.
The inspection
included
a review of activities
authorized for your Browns Ferry facility.
At the conclusion of the
inspection,
the findings were discussed
with those
members of your staff
identified in the enclosed
report.
Areas
examined during the inspection
are identified in the report.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observation of
activities in progress.
Based
on the results of this inspection,
certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements,
as specified in the enclosed
Notice of
Violation.
We are concerned
about the violation describing the required
action to take within one hour for an inoperable reactor protective
system
trip channel
because
the plant operators'id
not have adequate
information
available to determine
the necessary
and timely actions to take.
In addition,
the enclosed
Inspection
Report identifies activities that violated
NRC
requirements
that will not be subject to enforcement
because
the licensee's
efforts in identifying and/or correcting the violation met the criteria
specified in Section VII.B of the Enforcement Policy.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed
Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response,
you should
document the specific actions taken
and any additional
actions
you plan to prevent recurrence.
After reviewing your response
to this
Notice, including your proposed corrective actions
and the results of future
inspections,
the
NRC will determine
whether further
NRC enforcement
action is
necessary
to ensure
compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice",
a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
