4 ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328 Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on August 6 -

September 5,1986, violations of NRC requirements were identified. The viola-tions involved a failure to comply with health physics requirements, Technical Specification (TS) preventive maintenance requirements, TS PORC activity require-ments, and TS reporting requirements. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1986), the violations are listed below:

A.

TS 6.12 states that in lieu of the control device or alarm signal required by paragraph 20.203(c)(2) of 10 CFR 20, each high radiation area in which the intensity of radiation is greater than 100 mrem /hr but less than 1000 mrem /hr shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance of a special Radiation Work Permit (RWP).

Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Radiological Control Instruction RCI-1, Radiological Hygiene Program, states that each high radiation area shall be conspicuously posted with a sign or signs bearing the radiation caution symbol and the words: DANGER or CAUTION HIGH RADIATION AREA and RWP required.

Contrary to the above, on September 3, 1986, two maintenance personnel entered a high radiation area and failed to return either of the two avail-able entry barriers to a position which barricaded access to the high radiation area thus removing the postings.

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

B.

TS 6.8.1.a requires the licensee to establish, implement and maintain written procedures covering the applicable activities in Appendix A of Reguletory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978.

Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, recommends procedures for contamination control and access control to radiation areas including a radiation work permit (RWP) system.

Plant procedure RCI-1 states that protective clothing requirements are specified on a RWP time sheet and that the protective clothing shall be worn as required.

Contrary to the above, the requirement that protective clothing be worn as required by the RWP was not met in that on September 3, 1986, three persons were observed to be in nonconformance with the protective clothing dress requirements specified in RWP 86-2-216-117, time sheet 3, in that none of the three individuals correctly wore a protective hood.

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