Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: REPORT NOS. 50-327/86-08 AND 50-378/86-08
~
This refers to a special NRC team inspection conducted during the period
January 21-24, 1986, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License
Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 for your Sequoyah facility.
This inspection was conducted
by NRC personnel from the Offices of Inspection and Enforcement, Nuclear Reactor
Regulation, and Region II.
The inspection was conducted at the TVA Offices in
Knoxville, at the Watts Bar site, and at the Sequoyah site. At the conclusion of
the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff
identified in the enclosed inspection report.
This inspection related only to
the Employee Concern Prcgram as implemented prior to January 24, 1986.
The inspection consisted of a programatic review of the structure and implementa-
tion of the TVA program for determining which employee concerns apply to Sequoyah
Nuclear Plant and which of these concerns are safety-related and/or safety
significant.
This review included an assessment of whether TVA had established
and implemented appropriate sc?eening criteria to make these determinations and
to evaluate the generic applivability to Sequoyah of employee concerns at
other TVA nuclear sites.
Aread inspected consisted of selective examination of
procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observa-
j
tions by the inspectors.
While screening procedure weaknesses were noted at
each organizational level, the majority of safety-related/ regulatory issues were
being addressed by the Sequoyah site.

l
Within the scope of the inspection, no violations or deviations were identified.
Your attention is invited to the observations made in the inspection report.
Our
observations and youtf commitments resulting from this inspection have been
transmitted by a previous letter dated February 13, 1986.
Your position with
regard to our observations should be included in revisions to your Employee
Concern Program.
These matters will be pursued during future inspections.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter or the enclosed inspection
report, please contact us.
Sincerely,
