APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-259, 260, & 296 Browns Ferry 1 2, and 3 License Nos. DPR-33, 52, & 68 As a result of the inspection conducted on April 26 - ttay 25,1982, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, 47 FR 9987 (March 9,1982), the following violations were identified.
A.
10 CFR 50.59 requires that the licensee maintain records of changes in the facility and that records shall include a written safety evaluation which provides the bases for the determination that the change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
Contrary to the above, the requirement that a written safety evaluation be made was not met in that the off-gas post-treatment sampling station configuration was modified by the addition of a temporarily installed sample pump without a safety evaluation being performed.
The off-gas sampling station is described in figure 7.12-2a of the Final Safety Analysis Report.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I.D.1) and pertains to all three units.
B.
Technical Specification 4.8.B.1.a requires that for effluent streams having continuous monitoring capability, the activity and flow rate shall be monitored and recorded to enable release rates of gross radioactivity to be determined on an hourly basis.
Contrary to the above, the requirement that effluent streams having continuous monitoring ca. ability have the activity monitored on an hourly c
basis was not met in that the inspectors detennined that the sampling line for the turbine building exhaust ventilation going to Continuous Air Monitor (CAM) had accumulated water (approximately two cups) obstructing the sample fl ow.
The sample line had been blocked by water accumulation for an 4
undetermined amount of time. The licensee had previously identified that this line has a tendency to accumulate water and had replaced the sample l
pipe with clear plastic hose to aid in determining water accumulation; l
however, no specified frequency was established to determine moisture build up.
This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement IV.E.) and is applicable to l
Unit 2.
C.
Technical Specification 6.3 requires that detailed written procedures shall be adhered to, reviewed by the Plant Operating Review Committee (PORC) and approved by the Plant Superintendent.
