Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/87-17 AND 50-328/87-17
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) routine resident inspec-
tion conducted by Ken Jension on March 6 - April 5,
1987.
The inspection
included a review of tictivities authorized for your Sequoyah facility. During
this period, this review also included a special inspection of your restart
determinatior process. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were
discussed with those members of your staf f identified in the enclosed inspec-
tion 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.
Within the scope of the inspection, no violations or deviations were identified.
However, in the area of your restart determination process, the inspectors noted
cases of informality in the implementation of your process. Additionally, some
tracking systems used to select items as restart or nonrestart were found to be
inaccurate.
Finally, several cases were found where corrective actions were
deferred beyond restart based on compensatory measures being in place, which
appears to be inconsistent with your administrative procedures governing this
process.
These concerns have been discussed with your staff and it is our
understanding that actions will be taken to resolve these concerns. We will
be inspecting this area again as part of our restart readiness inspection prior
to restart in order to ascertain adequate resolution of those concerns.
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 enclosure
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
