NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328 Sequoyah License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on December 14-18, 1987 and February 2-4, 1988, violations of NRC requirements were identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcemen+ Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violations are listed below:
A.
Technical Specification (TS) 6.8.1 requires that procedures recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, be established, imple-mented, and maintained.
This includes administrative procedures.
The requirements of TS 6.8.1 as implemented by Administrative Instruction (AI)-30, Section 23 "Plant Staff Overtime Limits" requires Plant Manager or Plant Superintendent authorization to exceed the overtime limits specified in AI-30. AI-30 also requires that AI-2, Appendix C, "Deviation From Plant Staff Overtime Limits" be forwarded to the Plant Manager no later than the next work day.
Contrary to the above, from February to November,1987, the overtime limits specified in AI-30 were exceeded on numerous occasions without Plant Manager or Plant Superintendent authorization.
In addition, the form documenting deviation from plant staff overtime limits was not always forwarded to the Plant Manager within the required time period.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
B.
10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, the licensee's accepted Quality Assurance Program, and the Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual collectively require that activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings and shall be accomplished j
in accordance with instructions, procedures, or drawings, i
Contrary to the above, prior to December 14, 1987, the licensee failed to prescribe in instructions or procedures the training and qualification requirements for composite crews, in that composite crews were implemented prior to having established training and qualification requirements for foremen and general foreman supervising personnel in other craf ts, for craftsmen performing work outside of their craft, and for craftsmen performing independent verification outside of their craft.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Tennessee Valley Authority is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the Nuclear 4
