ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket No. 50-328 Sequoyah 2 License No. DPR-79.

During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 2-6,'1987, a violation of NRC requirements.was identified. The viola-

. tion involved a failure to follow approved plant procedures and inadequate work instructions. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violation-is listed below:

Technical Specification 6.8.1 states that written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering the applicable procedures recomended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978. . Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A, states that maintenance which-can affect the performance of safety-related equipment should be properly preplanned and performed in accordance with written procedures, documented instructions, or drawings appropriate to the circumstances. -The licensee prepared Work Request 8217268 to replace splices for cables 2V1418A and 2V1419A at penetration 30 of the Unit 2 containment. Work Request B217268 referenced procedure M&AI-7, Cable Terminations, Splicing and Repairing of Damaged Cables, to specify the requirements for repair of the cables.

Contrary to the above, on March 4,1987, the inspector observed workers removing a required fire retardant coating from the pigtails on the annulus side of penetration 30'with a heat gun and a screwdriver instead of using a solvent approved by the cable manufacturer as required by M&AI-7. Furthermore, Work Request 8217268 did not specify the removal or require that the coating be ' replaced following the work in accordance, with a commitment documented in an October 18, 1984, letter to the NRC.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, 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: (1) admission or denial of the violation, (2) the reason for the violation if admitted, (3) the corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved, (4) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations, and (5) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
