Dear Mr.'Kingsley:
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/89-19 AND 50-328/89-19)
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) routine monthly
' inspection conducted by K. Jenison from July 6, 1989 thru August 5, 1989. At
the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those
members of your. staff identified in the enclosed inspection report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report.
These
areas included operational safety verification, maintenance activities,
surveillance activities, and followup of plant events.
Within these areas,
the' inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures and
representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
As a result of these inspections, a weakness in the
accuracy of information provided to the NRC emergency response center was
identified as described in paragraph 9.b of this report. This weakness, which
is similar to a violation issued in NRC Inspection Report 327, 328/88-34, was
discussed with the Sequoyah Site Director. Corrective action will be reviewed
during future NRC inspections.
The inspection findings indicate that certain activities appear to violate NRC
requirements.
The identified violations involved a failure to comply with a
Technical Specification Action Statement and a failure to implement an abnormal
operating instruction.
The violations, references to pertinent requirements,
and elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed
Your attention is also invited to the unresolved items identified in the
Inspection Report.
Two of the unresolved items address apparent weaknesses in
your control of the system configuration of safety related systems, and the
availability of adequate procedures to implement TS action statements.
Additional NRC review of these issues will be conducted during future
inspections.
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, its enclosures,
and any reply will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
