INSPECTION
REPORT
NOS. 50-259/93-39,
50-260/93-39,
AND
50-296/93-39)
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by C. A. Patterson of this office on
October
16,
1993 - November 19,
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.
Mithin
these
areas,
the inspectio'n 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 concerning failure to control design
changes
and fire protection
program implementation.
Me are concerned
about the violation because
two
examples of inadequate
control
and coordination
between
design engineering'nd
other plant organizations
lead to first,
a failure to update plant procedures
and labeling following issuance of control
room drawings,
and second misconfi-
guration of the unit separation
boundary.
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.
The corrective action for the first
example. of failure to control design
changes
should address all systems
covered
by the renumbering
scheme
and timeliness of updating procedures
and
labeling after issuing updated control
room drawings.
The corrective action
for the second
example of failure to control design
change
should address
how
the unit separation
boundaries will be controlled
as future unit three
systems
are tested.
After reviewing your response
to this Notice, including your
proposed corrective actions
and the results of future inspections,
