Dear Mr. Kingsley:
This refers to the inspection
conducted
on March 17,
1996 to April 27,
1996 at
the Browns Ferry facility..
The purpose of the inspection
was to determine
whether activities authorized
by the license
were conducted safely
and in
accordance
with NRC requirements.
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,
the
NRC has determined that three
violations of NRC requirements
occurred.
The violations are cited in the
enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice)
and the circumstances
surrounding
them
are described
in detail in the subject inspection report.
We are concerned
with one example involving a failure to implement established
controls for
'caffolding
construction
which potentially caused
an inoperable
emergency
diesel
generator.
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.
Your response
may reference
or
include previous docketed
correspondence, if the correspondence
adequately
addresses
the required
response.
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 the
NRC regulatory requirements,
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter, its enclosures,
and your response will be placed in the
NRC
Public Document
Room (PDR).
To the extent possible,
your response
should not

privacy, proprietary,
or safeguards
information so that
it can
