j SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION i

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/93-34 AND 50-328/93-34)

This refers to the inspection conducted by William J. Tobin of this office on I

July 12-16, 1993. The inspection included a review of activities authorized  ;

for your Sequoyah facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings

were discussed with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed ,

report. l

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within

these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures

and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of

,

activities in progress.

Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of

Violation (Notice). This violation is of concern because it is reflective of

management over' sight of significant elements of the Access Authorization Rule.

In addition, the enclosed Inspection Report identifies activities that

violated NRC requirements that will not be subject to enforcement action

because the licensee's efforts in identifying and/or correcting the violations

met the criteria specified in Section VII.B of the Enforcement Policy.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your

'

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "P.ules of Practice," a copy of

this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
