SUBJECT:
NRC OFFICE OF INVESTIGATION REPORT NO. 2-96-009
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
Thank you for your response of June 9,1997, to our Notice of Violation issued on March 14,1997, conceming activities conducted at your Sequoyah facility.
Your response provided additionalinformation on the fire watch violation at Sequoyah. You also requested that the characterization of this violation be changed to a non-cited violation, since TVA identified the violation, took immediate corrective action and reported the violation to the NRC. A description of the management oversight of the Sequoyah fire watch program, including the disciplinary action taken against the personnel who failed to perfom. required fire watch duties; an explanation of the reasons the bar code reader initially used to document the fire watch rounds was discontinued and a description of the scanner device
_ currently being used to verify that the fire watch patrols were being properly performed; and the training of the fire watch personnel were also addressed by your response.
We have evaluated your response and performed an additionalinspection of this issue in March'1997, that was documented by NRC Inspection Report 50-327,328/97-03. Eased on these reviews we have reconsidered our position and changed this Severity Level IV violation to a non-cited violation.
We appreciate ycur cooperation in this matter.
