a ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328 Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on February 6 - March 5,1987, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

The violation involved a failure of personnel to prcperly frisk.

In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedures for personnel radiation protection be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.

Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Radiological Control Instruction RCI-1, Radiological Hygiene Program, implements these requirements.

RCI-1 states that employees are responsible for properly monitoring themselves prior to leaving radio-logically controlled areas (RCAs).

Contrary to the above, approximately six workers were observed improperly monitoring themselves as they exited the RCA.

The workers did not frisk gloves that were used to handle items that had potential external contamination.

The gloves were removed from the RCA and used to perform work tasks outside the RCA.

This is a severity level V violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.201, you are required to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:

(1) admission or denial of the alleged violation; (2) the reasons for the violation if admitted; (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; (4) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and, (5), the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Security or safeguards information should be submitted as an enclosure to facilitate withholding it from public disclosure as required by 10 CFR 2.790 (d) or 10 CFR 73.21.
