SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-259/88-05, 50-260/88-05, AND
50-296/88-05)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
G. L. Paulk on March -1-31,1988.
The inspection included a review of activi-
ties authorized for your Browns Ferry facility.
At the conclusion of the
inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the enclosed inspection report.
Areas examined during the inspection included operational safety, maintenance
observation, surveillance testing observation, reportable occurrences, plant
'
operations review committee (PORC), restart testing and Q-List. Within these
areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and
representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of activi-
ties in progress.
The inspection findings indicate certain activities appeared to violate NRC
requirements.
The violations, references to pertinent requirements, and
elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice
of Violation.
Violation D described in the enclosed Notice is similar to a violation con-
tained in the Notice sent to you by our letter dated April 21, 1986.
Because
"similar violations," as described in the NRC Enforcement Policy are of
significant concern to the NRC, please give particular attention,in your
response to the identification of the root cause of this problem and your
corrective action to prevent recurrence.
Two unresolved items were identified in the inspection report.
The first
matter ralates to proper designation of alternate Plant Operations Review
Committee (PORC) chairmen in your Plant Managers Instruction 7.1 which are
other than those stated in Technical Specification 6.5.1.2.a.
The second
matter relates to Q-list programmatic deficiencies which require further
evaluation by your staff to ensure that the Q-list can be relied upon in
determining safety-related and important to safety equipment.
