ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-259, 50-260, and 50-296 Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3 Licensee Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on April 1-30, 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The viola-tion involved an inadequate administrative procedure for the prep & ration. of licensing documents.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions, "10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C the violation is listed below:
Technical Specifications 6.8.1.1.a and 6.8.1.1.J. require the licensee to establish, implement, and maintain administrative procedures which control technical and cross-disciplinary review.
Implicit in this requirement is that the procedures be adequate for the activity involved.
Administrative procedure PMP 0602.01, Management of TVA's Interface with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, addresses the licensee's responsibili-ties and requirements for the preparation of licensing submittals.
Contrary to the above, administrative procedure PMP 0602.01 was found to be inadequate in that it lacked any requirement or guidance on the use of tentative or draft information in preparation of licensing submittals.
This deficiency contributed to the licensee's submittal of draft informa-tion for NRC review on March 23, 1988. The licensee's calculations used to evaluate the effects of a pustulated fuel drop accident did not receive full independent verification nor approval for issuance until two days after issuance of the submittal.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I) and is applicable to all three units.
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 Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Director, Office of Special Projects, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, Browns Ferry within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice. This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include:
(1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when 8806200418 880603 PDR ADOCK 05000259 4
