l ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328 Sequoyah License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 The following violations were identified during an inspection conducted on October 23 - 26, 1984. The Severity Levels were assigned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).

1. Technical Specification Section 6.8.1.f requires written procedures to be established, implemented and maintained for the fire protection program implementation. FSAR Section 9.5.1.4 states that fixed water fire suppression systems are periodically tested in accordance with the applic-able National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code requirements to ensure operability and are inspected at regular intervals to ensure that all equipment is in good operating condition. NFPA Section 6012 (1973 edition) states that fire protection system strainers are to be thoroughly inspected after each operation or flow test and cleaned if necessary with routine inspection and cleaning performed annually, and more frequent if necessary, based on experience.

Contrary to the above, the strainers in the supply piping to the fire protection automatic water spray and sprinkler systems are not included in a periodic maintenance inspection and cleaning program.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).

2. Technical Specification Section 6.8.1.a requires written procedures to be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures listed in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33. Regulatory Guide 1.33 Appendix A requires radiation protection procedures. Sequoyah's Radiation Control Instruction RCI-14 Section V.A, states that respirator protection is required for conditions involving airborne contamination and that workers must have a current whole body count, respiratory fit and training and a current medical review.

Contrary to the above, a number of fire brigade members who may be required to respond to airborne contamination areas in the event of a tire, are not respirator qualified due to the lack of respirator fit and training or out of date medical review or whole body count.

T11s is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
