        SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
                    (NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-327,328/87-24AND50-327,328/87-30)
        This refers to the subject Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) inspections
        conducted at the Sequoyah facility on April 6 - May 5, 1987, and May 6 -
        June 12, 1987. The subject reports documenting these inspections and the
        associated Enforcement Conference were sent to you on June 4, 1987, and
        July 20, 1987, respectively. The inspections included a review of the
        circumstances surrounding the February 1, 1987 and the April 29, 1987 reactor
        coolant system spill events, and observations of ongoing testing evolutions.
        As a result of these inspections, five failures to comply with NRC regulatory
        requirements were identified and, accordingly, NRC concerns regarding the
        inspection findings were discussed by J. A. Axelrad, Deputy Director, Office of
        Special Projects and G. G. Zech, Assistant Director, Inspection Programs, TVA
        Projects, Office of Special Projects - NRC, with C. C. Mason, Deputy Manager of
        Nuclear Power-TVA, in an Enforcement Conference held on June 18, 1987.
        The violation described in the enclosed Notice of Violation involves several
        examples of inadequate procedure implementation and identifies occurrences
        which demonstrate a lack of control over testing evolutions, and system and
        equiprnent status. We believe that issuance of this Notice of Violation is
        necessary to obtain the management attention necessary to resolve the
        underlying problem. Your corrective action will be specifically reviewed
        during the heat up phase and NRC operational readiness evaluation.
        You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
        specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your
        response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional
        actions you plan to p. event recurrence. After reviewing your response to this
        Notice, including your proposed corrective actions, the NRC will determine
        whether further NRC enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with
        NRC regulatory requirements.

July 20, 1987, respectively. The inspections included a review of the

circumstances surrounding the February 1, 1987 and the April 29, 1987 reactor

coolant system spill events, and observations of ongoing testing evolutions.

As a result of these inspections, five failures to comply with NRC regulatory

requirements were identified and, accordingly, NRC concerns regarding the

inspection findings were discussed by J. A. Axelrad, Deputy Director, Office of

Special Projects and G. G. Zech, Assistant Director, Inspection Programs, TVA
