NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket No. 50-328 Sequoyah Nuclear Plant, Unit 2 License No. DPR-79 During an NRC inspection conducted on September 14 through October 16,1998, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:

l l Technical Specification 6.8.1.a requires, in part, that procedures shall be established implemented and maintained covering the activities recommended in Appendix A of i Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978," Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operations)". Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Section 9, includes procedures for performing maintenance on safety related components and structures i.e., ice Condenser.

Maintenance instruction (MI),0-Ml-MXX-061-001.0, Revision 6, Ice Condenser Ice Servicing, requires that intermediate deck doors be installed in accordance with l Westinghouse Drawing T189E83 and that bolts used to fasten the intermediate deck door frames to the radial beams be torqued to between 9-11 ft. Ibs. as specified in the subject procedure.

Contrary to the above, as of September 16,1998, requirements of 0-MI- MXX-061-001 had not been implemented in that a significant number of bolts used to fasten the intermediate deck door frames to the radial beams had not been torqued to the specified tolerance as evidenced by loose or missing bolts and by the use of improper washers.
