SUBJECT:
NOTICE OF ENFORCEMENT DISCRETION FOR FARLEY UNIT-2 1
By letters dated November 29, 1993, you requested the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to exercise discretion not to enforce compliance with Technical Specifications 3.0.4 and 3.6.4.2 to allow changing modes with only one of the two hydrogen recombiners being operable.
This discretion would permit startup of Farley Unit 2 while you attempt to obtain parts to restore the 2B hydrogen recombiner to' operable status.
Based on our review of your justification including compensatory measures, we l
conclude that this course of action involves minimum safety impact, and we are clearly satisfied that this exercise of discretion is warranted from a public i
health and safety perspective. Therefore, we will not enforce compliance with T.S. 3.0.4 and 3.6.4.2 for a period of seven days following the first entry into Mode 2 after November 29, 1993. This discretion was granted verbally by a phone call from E. W. Merschoff, NRC, to 0. Morey, Southern Nuclee Operat-ing Company, on November 29, 1993.
However, we will consider enforcement action, as appropriate, for the conditions that led to the need for this A-exercise of enford ment' discretion.
Sincerely,
/h 7,
/-
Luis A. Reyes Deputy Regional Administrator
