O APPENDIX A NOTICF. OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority License No. DPR-77 Sequoyah Unit 1 Based on the NRC inspection June 1 - July 5, 1980, certain of your activities were apparently not corducted in full compliance with NRC requirements as indicated below. These items have been categorized as described in correspondence to you dated December 31, 1974.
A.
As required by Technical Specification 6.8.1, written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering activities listed in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. Methods for temporary change are implemented by AI-9 Control of Temporary Alterations and the use of Temporary Alteration Orders. Section 7.1 of AI-9 states that "All temporary alterations of Critical Systems, Structures and Components which are designated as operable shall be performed... using instructions as specified on a Temporary Alteration Control Form which has been reviewed by PORC and approved by the plant superintendent." In addition, "the Tempo-rary Alteration Order is always required when using this method" to properly identify to the control room operator the temporary condition.
Contrary to the above, on June 25, 1980 the ice condenser inlet doors were blocked shut with temporary mechanical stops. The use of mechnical stops constituted a temporary alteration of a critical system, designated as operable, and was done without tne use of a Temporary Alteration Control Form or Temporary Alteration Order.
This is a deficiency.
B.
As required by 10 CFR 73.55(d)(7), "The licensee shall positively control all points of personnel access into vital areas..."
In addition Section 5.2.1 of the Sequoyah Physical Security Plan (PSP) states that "All vital area barriers will be resistant to penetration. The penetration resistance of the barriers will not be diminished by doors, windows and other openings in the barriers."
Contrary to the above:
1.
On June 23, 1980, a vital area door was removed for maintenance without adequate compensatory measures being provided to control access into the vital area.
2.
On June 20, 1980, a protective grating was removed from a vital area barrier opening to provide access to the area for maintenance personnel without adequate compensatory measures being provided to control access into the vital area.
This is an infraction. Similar items were brought to your attention in our letter dated June 2 and June 26, 1980.
