SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
,
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/93-42 AND 50-328/93-42)
This refers to the routine resident inspection conducted by W. Holland of this
office from September 4 through October 10, 1993. The inspection included a
review of activities authorized for your Sequoyah facility.
At the co.clusion
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 pro u dures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
'
I
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 control work' activities around-
and on energized electrical equipment.
Past electrical event evaluations
j
should have resulted in corrective actions' prior to the event discussed in
this report.
In addition, we are concerned about your staff not following
i
administrative requirements for post-maintenance or modification testing as
l
required.
We are also concerned about a weakness which the NRC identified regarding the
.!
lack of a periodic inspection of. critical portions of the inner containment'
liner. As of the end of the inspection period, we understand _that future
!
periodic inspections of the 'affected areas will be incorporated during
subsequent refueling outages,
i-
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
