REPORT 50-259, 260, 296/90-14-SUPPLEi~lENTAL

RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATIOiN

On June 14, 1990, NRQ issued the subject inspection

report which cited TVA with a violation for failure to perform independent

verification.

In its response to the violation dated July 13, 1990, TVA noted it was evaluating

the generic impact of this concern and committed to provide a supplemental

response by August 24, 1990.This letter reports on the generic actions that TVA has taken to address independent

verification.

The enclosure provides a listing of commitments

being made in this letter.In order to stan.ardize

independent

verification

activities

TVA has developed a corporate level standard, STD-10.1.15, Independent

Verification.

This standard establishes

requirements

for determining

when independent

verification

is required and for performing

independent

verification.

This standard will be implemented

at BFN by September 30, 1990, through a revision to Site Director Standard Practice (SDSP)3.15, Independent

Verification.

BFNi procedures

will be evaluated against the criteria in this revised SDSP during the two-year procedure review and change process.In summary, TVA considers that the revision of SDSP 3.15 will establish consistent

use of independent

verification

activities

at BFN such that plant systems and components

are controlled

in a manner that supports safe and reliable operation.
