ENCLOSURE 3 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-259, 50-E60, Browns Ferry, Units 1, 2, and 3

.and 50-296 License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspections conducted during various intervals between February 11 and May 23, 1986 identified a violation of NRC requirements.

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

Criterion XVI of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, requires that measures shall be esttblished to ensure that conditions adverse to quality, such as deficiencies, deviations, and nonconformances, are promptly identified and corrected. Section 17.2.16 of the TVA Quality Assurance Program Report implements these requirements and requires that the corrective action

{

reports become part of the plant quality assurance records.

It also states that "DQA makes followup reviews for implementation of the corrective action and reviews any reports generated by the action before the corrective action report is closed."

's Contrary to these requirements, on July 9, 1985 Nonconformance Report (NCR) BFNTDP7801 was closed by actions completed for Engineering Change Notice (ECN) L1845.

This issue involved failure to maintain separation between safety division I and safety division II circuits in that the recirculation pump flow monitoring circuit for each division was tied together on the same terminal block. The corrective action required degrading the circuits to non-safety and routing them in non-divisional trays ono conduits. The corrective action on the NCR was confirmed by the Browns Ferry engineering project manager as completed on Autjust 15, 1985.

However, this actico had, in fact, not been completed even though the rccords showed comp.etion (Sample 39).

t This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement II).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, the Tennessee Valley Authority is hereby required to submit to this Office within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice, a written statement or explanation in reply, including for each violation:

(1) the reason for the violations if admitted, (2) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, i

pg298M E86j)/

O

Motice of Violaticn (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
