ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION i
Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos.: 50-327 and 50-328 Sequoyah License Nos.: DPR-77 and DPR-79 l
i l
During an NRC inspection conducted on May 17-20, 1993, a violation of NRC l
requirements was identified.
In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," the violation is listed i
below:
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.Section IV of the Sequoyah Procedures Generation Package (Verification and Validation Program) article D.1 requires that the Emergency Operating Procedures be technically correct and that the step deviation document be accurate and complete.
Contrary to the above, 1.
The Step Deviation Document (EPM-3) was not accurate and complete in that section 3.2.3 did not agree with step 10.b of ES-3.2 (Post-Steam Generator Tube Rupture Cooldown by Ruptured S/G Depressurization).
EPM-3 stated that the Blowdowr. method was chosen as the preferred means to depressurize the ruptured steam generator in ES-3.2; however, the actual procedure used the condenser steam dump valves as the preferred method.
2.
The Step Deviation Document was not technically correct in that it stated that the intent of Westinghouse Owners Group guideline ES-l 0.0 was fully met by the Sequoyah Emergency Operating Procedures due to the transition steps within the instructions and inclusion of additional transitions on the foldout pages of applicable instructions; however, the transition from E-3 to E-1 could not be made within the framework of the Sequoyah Emergency Operating Procedures.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Tennessee Valley Authority is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.

r 2
3 corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
