Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

REPORT NOS. 50-327/86-04 AND 50-328/86-04

On January 21-30 and February 12-13, 1986, NRC inspected activities authorized by

NRC Operating License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 for your Sequoyah facility.

As a

result of this inspection, significant failures to comply with NRC regulatory

requirements were identified and accordingly, an Enforcement Conference to

discuss these matters was conducted telephonically on March 14, 1986.

Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.

Within these

areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and

representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations of activities

in progress.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC

Enforcement Actions," 16 CFR.Part 2, Appendix C (1985), the violation described

.in Item 1 of the enclosed Notice has been classified as a Severity Level III

violation.

Normally, a civil penalty is considered for a Severity Level III

violation.

However, I have decided that a civil penalty will not be proposed in

this case because the State of South Carolina has taken enforcement action.

You are required to. respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence.

After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions, - the NRC will determine

whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with

NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures

will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.

'

The responses directed by this letter and the enclosures are not subject to the

clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget issued under the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
