Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/93-50 AND 50-328/93-50)
This refers to the routine resident inspection conducted by W. Holland of this
office from October 11 through November 6,1993.
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 inspection report.
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 the inspection, certain of your activities appeared to
violate NRC requirements as described in the enclosed Notice of Violation. We
are concerned about the process that you use to establish clearance boundaries
for work on structures, systems, and components in your plant. A violation was
also identified during startup of Unit 2, when both motor driven auxiliary
feedwater pump handswitches were found by the NRC to be in pull-to-lock while in
Mode 3. This violation was attributed to inadequate self-checking, and indicated
'
that control room operators were not fully cognizant of Technical Specification
requirements for the auxiliary feedwater system. No response to this violation
is necessary, as your corrective actions were sufficient.
In addition, the enclosed Inspection Report identifies activities that violated
NRC requirements that will not be subject to enforcement action because your
efforts in correcting the violation meet the criteria specified in Section VII.B
of the Enforcement Policy.
In accordance with Section 2.790(a) of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter and its enclosures are not subject to the
clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
