AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

This refers to the inspection

by J.

August 21-25

and September

11-14,

1995.

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

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.

The responses

directed

by this letter

and the enclosed

Notice are not subject

to the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget

as required

by the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1980,
