Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by A. Tillman of this office on May 19-23,

1980, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52 and

DPR-68 at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant and to the discussions of our findings held

with J. L. Harness at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during this inspection included your physical security program as

implemented under the provisions of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations,

Part 73, " Physical Protec+. ion of Plants and Materials" and the specific require-

ments of your approved Security Plan. Within these areas, the inspection consisted

of selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews

with personnel, performance tests, and observations by the inspectors.

During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license

appear to be in noncompliance with NRC requirements. These items and references

to pertinent requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed here-

with as Appendix A.

This notice is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of

Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal

Regulations. Section 2.201 requires you to submit to this office, within 20

days of your receipt of this notice, a written statement or explanation in reply

including:

(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you and the results

achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further noncom-

pliance; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Details of

activities involving safeguards and security measures are exempt from disclosure

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(d). Therefore, your response should be inccr-

porated in a separate paper and referenced in your reply.

In accordance with Section 2.790(d) of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, activities involving safeguards and

security measures are exempt from public disclosure; therefore, the enclosures

to this letter with the exception of the report cover page, which is an inspection

summary, will not be placed in the Public Document Room.
