SUBJECT:
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/88-26 AND 50-328/88-26)
This refers to the special Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) shift
coverage inspection conducted by the NRC's Sequoyah Restart Task Force
on April 3,
1988 thru May 4,
1988.
The inspection included a review of
the activities associated with the heatup of Sequoyah Unit 2.
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 are identified in the report.
These areas included extended control room observation and operational
safety verifation.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of
selective examinations of procedures and representative records,
interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in progress.
The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appeared to
,
violate NRC requirements.
Accordingly, the violation, references to
l
pertinent requirements, and elements to be included in your response are
I
described in the enclosed Notice of Violation.
In light of similar
violations previously cited in Inspection Reports 327,328/87-30, 87-66,
and 88-06, the NRC still has concern regarding the overall adequacy of
configuration control at Sequoyah.
Please consider this previous
enforcement history in your root cause evaluation of the violation
herein.
Two unresolved items were identified during the inspection.
An
unresolved item concerning delays in entering and reporting LCO entry on
l
'
RCS leakrate and concerns with initiation of Abnormal U arating
ga Instructions is addressed in paragraph 10 of the enclos;
report.
A
Smo second unresolved item was identified concerning the det 11 tion of
$8C control room areas to which operators are restricted while at the
oo
controls.
This item is further documented in paragraph 3 of the
$$
enclosed report.
With regard to this second unresolved item, it is
yy
requested that you provide a response, within 30 days of the date of
mo
this letter, that addresses the results of'your review of this situation
o$
and any corrective actions considered appropriate to achieve resolution.
