SUBJECT:

PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - SEQUOYAH

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

On March 10 1997, the Regional staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Sequoyah. The staff conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear )ower plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance. T1e results are used by regional management to facilitate  !

planning and allocation of inspection resources. The PPR for Sequoyah involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating inspection j results and safety performance information for the period from September 1996, i through February 1997. PPRs provide regional management with a current '

summary of licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic  ;

Assessment of Licensee Performance and senior management meeting reviews.

This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the Sequoyah PPR review. It is provided in an attempt to minimize the resource ,

impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts to be resolved in  ;

advance of inspection dates. The enclosure presents our inspection plan for '

the next six months. Specific dates are included for near term inspections. i Long term inspection dates will be announced prior to the inspections and any scheduling conflicts will be resolved with your staff. The rational or basis  ;

for each inspection outside the core inspection program is provided so that .

you are aware of the reasons for em)hasis in these program araas, Resident i inspections are not listed due to t1eir ongoing and continuous nature. >

During each NRC inspection planned during this period, specific attention will continue to be given to the verification of selected Updated Final Safety  ;

Analysis Re) ort (UFSAR) commitments. A plicable portion (s) of the UFSAR that  ;

relate to t1e inspection activities wil be reviewed and verification made i that the UFSAR commitments have been properly implemented into plant  !

practices, procedures and/or parameters.  !
