Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327, 50-328 l Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-77, DPR-79 i

During an NRC inspection conducted on June 28 - July 2 and July 12-23, 1993, a  !

! violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General ,

i Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, i Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

l 1

i 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion XI requires that a test program be l

established to assure that all testing required to P m nstrate that i structures, systems, and components will perform sathfactorily in )

service is performed in accordance with test Procedures which 1 incorporate the requirements and acceptance limits. I i Units 1 and 2 Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering test activities of safety-related equipment.  ;

i

Test procedures 0-PI-SXX-032-002.0, (Rev. 3), Auxiliary Building Control

' Air Quality Test, and 0-PI-SXX-032-001.0, (Rev. 3), Turbine Building Control Air Quality Test, require that, if sample results for particle j size indicate the control air system is degraded, then document and

disposition the deficiency in accordance with SSP-8.1. Procedures 0-PI-SXX-032-002.0 and 0-PI-SXX-032-001.0 (Rev. 3) do not address the corrective action method (e.g., recalibration).

1 Procedure SSP-8.1, (Rev. 5), Conduct of Testing, requires that, if the i

test acceptance criteria are not met, the test director notify the responsible supervisor immediately. SSP-8.1 then requires the responsible supervisor to initiate corrective action by appropriate Administrative Control Program (ACP) documentation if an adverse

condition exists as defined by SSP-3.4, Corrective Action, and the test i

procedure does not address the corrective action method (e.g.,

4 recalibration).

Procedure SSP-3.4, (Rev. 7), Corrective Action, defines adverse J

conditions as deficiencies including nonconforming material, parts, or components; failures; malfunctions; and deviations that are more than minor in nature, i.e. have an impact on the quality of the work

(product). SSP-3.4 also lists corrective action program ACPs, including Significant Corrective Action Reports (SCARS), Problem Evaluation Reports (PERs), Work Request / Wor.k Orders (WR/W0s), and seven others.

I Contrary to the above, procedures covering test activities of safety-related equipment were not implemented in that adequate corrective action was nat taken for a failure on March 8, 1993 of test procedures 0-PI-SXX-032-002.0 and 0-PI-SXX-032-001.0. The test failed due to unacceptable particles in the safety-related Auxiliary Control Air (ACA)

System and in the nonsafety Station Control and Service Air (SCSA)

System, which both serve nther safety-related systems of Units 1 and 2.

Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327, 50-328 Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-77, DPR-79 The limits on particles in the ACA and SCSA systems are to support operability of safety related systems, including Auxiliary Feedwater, Control Room Ventilation, Containment Vacuum Relief Valves, and Main Steam Isolation Valves. A PER or other ACP was not promptly initiated and the adverse condition was not promptly corrected. Resamples were not taken until June 1993, and those sample test results were unknown as of July 23, 1993. In addition, the adverse condition of particles in 1 the ACA and SCSA Systems was not on the licensee's restart list.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1). l Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Tennessee Valley Authority  ;

is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanttion to the l U.S. Nuclear Pegulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, ,

Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region i II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, at the facility that is  :

the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter

within the time specified in this Notice, an order or demand for l information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified,  !

suspended, or revoked, or why such othe action as may be proper should ,

not be taken. Where good cause is shown, onsideration will be given to extending the response time, i 3
