Dear Mr. Kingsley:
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327/88-60 AND 50-328/88-60
This refers to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted by
A. R. Long on December 22-23, 1988, and February 22, 1989.
The inspection
included a review of activities authorized for your Sequoyah facility. At the
conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed with those members of
your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are described in the report, and included
followup of previous inspection findings and a review of methods for reactivity
calculations. The inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
The inspection activities indicated that certain activities appeared to violate
NRC requirements.
These activities involved failures to initiate the esta-
blished corrective action process on three occasions when conditions adverse to
quality were identified. The violation, references to pertinent requirements,
and elements to be included in your response are described in the enclosed
In your response to the violation, please document the
basis of your position that the violation does not indicate a weakness in your
corrective action program or procedures.
An additional violation was identified involving minor deficiencies in com-
pleted reactor engineering procedures.
The violation met the NRC enforce-
ment policy criteria for discretionary enforcement and, therefore, no Notice
of Violation will be issued.
No response is necessary.
Your attention is invited to two unresolved items identified in the inspection
report. These matters will be pursued dur
.g 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 and its enclosure
will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
