SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/97-09 AND 50-328/97-09
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
- This refers to the regional team inspection conducted August 4-8,1997, at the Sequoyah
facility. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
This team inspection was conducted to assess the effectiveness of your controls in
identifying, resolving, and preventing problems. The assessment was done by reviewing
approximately three years of historical data for three selected systems. The systems
selected were the emergency diesel generator, auxiliary fcedwater, and vital inverter
systems.
The results of this assessment indicate that there is a consistent improving trend in your
corrective action programs. While a significant number of problems continue to be identified
.
by your programs, the inspection showed that during 1997, corrective actions were generally
more thorough, and more timely than the actions taken during the previous two years. The
NRC considers that the involvement of top site management in daily Management Review
Committee activities, reviewing problem evaluation reports, is a positive influence in the
improving trend.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
Sincerely,
ORIGINAL SIGED BY
PAU: FREDRICKSON
