50-327/328 Mr. H. G. Parris Manager of Power 6N0118 Missionary Ridge Place Tennessee Valley Authority 1101 Market Street Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402-2801

SUBJECT:

SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 - REGULATORY EFFECTIVENESS REVIEW From May 7-11, 1984, the NRC conducted a Regulatory Effectiveness Review at Sequoyah Units 1 and 2.

The findings of that review are documented in the enclosed Part I, Safeguards Systems Effectiveness Review; Part II, Safety / Safeguards Interface Review; and Part III, Vital Area Definition of the Regulatory Effectiveness Review report.

While a number of strengths were observed in your safeguards program, certain safeguards matters were found that warrant further consideration.

Accordingly, it is requested that you provide comments relative to those areas indicated as needing attention in the above documents. To assist in your consideration of findings in the Regulatory Effectiveness Review report, some suggestions as to possible corrective measures are also enclosed.

It should not be inferred that these are the only acceptable solutions. A response within 45 days of the date of this letter will be appreciated.

I The vital area part of the report is provided to keep you informed of the results of the Los Alamos National Laboratory vital area analysis of your plant.

It is not intended to convey any new or changed NRC staff position or backfit.

In fact, NRC policy concerning vital areas is presently undergoing staff review. Once the NRC adopts a final position regarding the identification of vital equipment, the vital area analyses of all plants, including the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, will be reevaluated fron a licensing perspective.

The reporting and/or recordkeeping requirements contained in this letter affect fewer than ten respondents; therefore, OMB clearance is not required under P.L.96-511.
