Dear Mr. Scalice:

This refers to the inspection conducted on January 3,1999 through February 13,1999, at the

Sequoyah Nuclear Plant facility. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.

During the inspection period, yo':r conduct of activities at the Sequoyah facility was generally

characterized by good maintenance and plant support. Operations was considered to be

acceptable. However, weaknesses were identified in the licensed operator training program and l

. freneze protection program. Engineering support was considered to be acceptable. However,

program weaknesses were identified which allowed the installation of an unqualified

replacement part in the 2A-A emergency diesel generator. .

requirements occurred. These violations are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs),

consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. These NCVs are described in the f

should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection /f
