INSPECTION
REPORT
NOS. 50-259/94-11,
50-260/94-11,
AND
50-296/94-11)
Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by George
T. Hopper of this office on
during the weeks of November 14-18,
and November
28-December
2,
1994.
The
inspection
included
a review of activities authorized for your Browns Ferry
Nuclear
Power Station.
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 (Notice).
The violation is of concern
because
management
personnel
allowed operators
to reactivate their licenses
and perform licensed duties
without having met the necessary
10
CFR, 55.53 requirements,
while incorrectly
certifying that these
requirements
had
been
completed.
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 p'lan 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.
The responses
directed
by this letter and the enclosed
Notices are not subject
to the clearance
procedures
of the Office of Management
and Budget
as required
by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980,
Pub L.96-511.
