SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-259/86-40, 50-260/86-40 AND 50-296/86-40)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
G. L. Paulk on November 1 - December 31, 1986. The inspection included a review
of activities 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 are identified in the report. Within these
areas, the inspection consisted of operational safety, maintenance observation,
surveillance testing observation, reportable occurrences, licensee action on
previous enforcement matters, management meetings, design changes and modifi-
cations, and facility modifications, and the new employee concern program.
The inspection findings indicate certain activities appeared to violate NRC
requirements. The violation, references to pertinent requirements, and elements
to be included in your response are described in the enclosed Notice of
Violation.
Your attention is invited to unresolved items identified in the inspection
report. These matters will be pursued during future inspections.
Licensee event report (LER) 50-259/8606 Revision 1, was based on a probabilistic
risk assessment (PRA) which you consider an unreviewed draf t from which no
meaningful conclusions can be drawn. We request that you submit a revision to
this LER so that we can complete our review. The inclusion of unreviewed and
draft information is unacceptable for our purpose.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title
10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be
placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
