e ENCLOSURE 1
OTIC 0
0 A ON Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3
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 October 16 - November 19, 1993, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions,"
10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are listed below:
10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires that measures shall be e'stablished for the identification and control of design interfaces and for coordination among participating design organizations.
These measures shall include the establishment of procedures among participating design organizations for the review, approval,
- release, distribution, and revision of documents involving design interfaces.
Contrary to the above, these requirements were not met for the following two examples:
1)
Design Changes were not controlled in that, on November 5,
- 1993, ten pages of identification number changes for fuses, handswitches, and other components which were changed by Design Change Notice S19592 were not coordinated thorough the Operations Department to change plant label'ing and procedures.
2)
Design Change Notice (DCN) S25756A to modify the unit separation boundary for system testing was issued without the appropriate control and coordination in that required plant configuration changes were not completed.
This was discovered on October 15,
- 1993, when an NRC inspector identified configuration changes, addressed in the DCN, not in their correct position.
The licensee then audited the configuration of the components required by the DCN and identified approximately two pages of needed changes.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I) applicable to all three units.
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.
