Subject: Report Nos.k259/82-lh0-260/82-15, and 50-296/82-15

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. J. Chase of this

office on April 26 - May 25,1982, of activities authorized by NRC Operating

License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52, and CPR-68 for the Browns Ferry facility. Our

preliminary findings were discussed with Mr. G. T. Jones, Power Plant

Superintendent, at the conclusion of the inspection.

Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the

enclosed inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of

selective examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with

personnel, and observations by the inspectors.

During the inspection, it was found that certain activities under your license

appear to violate HRC requirements. These items and references to pertinent

requirements are listed in the Notice of Violation enclosed herewith as

Appendix A. Elements to be included in your response are delineated in

Appendix A.

We have examined actions you have taken with regard to previously identified

enforcement matters. These are discussed in the enclosed inspection report.

One new unresolved item is identified in the enclosed inspection report. This

item will be examined during subsequent inspections.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosures will

be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room unless you notify this office, by

telephone, within ten days of the date of this letter and submit written appli-

cation to withhold information contained therein within thirty days of the date

of this letter. Such application must be consistent with the requirements of

2.790(b)(1).
