SUBJECT: ' NOTICE:0F DEVIATION-
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-259/87-02,~50-260/87-02,AND
'50-296/87-02)
This refers ' to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted
by G. L. Paulk .on January 1-31, 1987.
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 selective examinations of procedures and
representative records, interviews with personnel,.~and observation of activities
in progress.
,
' The inspection revealed no' iiolations of NRC requirements. --However, 'certain
activities having safety significance appeared to deviate .from your Final: Safety
Analysis Report.
The deviation and elements to be included in your response are
described in the enclosed Notice'of-Deviation.
Among the unresolved items identified in the inspection report, one of particular
concern 'is the unresolved item in paragraph 7.C. dealing with. surveillance
intervals ' that may be longer than intended due 'to the extended. outage of the
units.
Although you may be in verbatim compliance with .the Technical Specifi-
cations--for surveillance testing, our concern is that the surveillance' interval
is not explicitly defined (i.e. , time units) for the once per operating ' cycle
frequency.
Thus, the. surveillance requirement interval is ambiguous' and tha
s'urveillances may not be performed in a timely manner as intended. This iss~ue
needs to be resolved expeditiously since the equipment' in question may need to
be. tested to assure operability.
'
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.
