SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-259/87-28, 50-260/87-28,

AND 50-296/87-28

This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by

R. E. Weddington on July 27-31, 1987.

The inspection included a review of

activities authorized for your Browns Ferry facility. At the conclusion of the

inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of your staff

identified in the enclosed inspection report.

Health and safety 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.

The inspection revealed that adequate corrective action on a previous violation

(50-259/260/296/84-12-03) had not been accomplished and that certain activities

appeared to continue to violate NRC requirements.

The NRC views this failure

to take adequate corrective action as a serious matter.

Specifically, the

inspection revealed that your computer codes do not currently enable you to

produce termination exposure reports containing all of the information required

by our regulations.

Since there is a need for additional corrective actions,

in accordance with 10 CFR 2.201(a), please submit to this office within 30 days

of the date of this letter, a written statement describing the steps taken or

planned to correct the violation and the results achieved, corrective actions

which will be taken to avoid further violations, and the date when full

compliance will be achieved.

In your response you should also indicate what

actions you have taken to correct the problem of not taking adequate corrective

actions and steps taken to prevent recurrence.

Failure to resolve this matter

may result in additional enforcement action.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy this letter and its enclosure

will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
