Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by A. Tillman of this office on August 11

through 15, 1980, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License No. DPR-77

at Sequoyah and to the discussions of our findings held with J. Bynum 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 Protection of Plants and Materials" and the specific requirements

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.

We have examined actions you have taken with regard to previously identified

enforcement matters.

These are discussed in the enclosed inspection report.

One new unresolved item resulted from this inspection and is discussed in the

enclosed report. This item will be examined during subsequent inspections.

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 herewith

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 Regula-

tions.

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 noncompliance; 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 incorporated 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.
