Dear Mr. Kingsley:
SUBJECT:
SAFETY EVALUATIONS ON THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY EMPLOYEE CONCERNS SUBCATEGORY REPORTS -
BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 This letter forwards our safety evaluations of the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA), subcategory reports submitted as part of the Employee Concerns Special Program (ECSP) and relevant to Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant.
Our safety evalua-'ions of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant employee concerns were transmitted to you in letters dated March ll, 1988 and November 4, 1988.
TVA classified the employee concerns in the ECSP into the nine functional cate-gories listed in Table 1 and determined that about 700 of more than 5800 employee concerns in the ECSP were potentially safety related or safety significant to Browns Ferry.
These categories were further separated into 107 Subcategory Reports.
Our safety evaluation on the programmatic aspects of the ECSP was transmitted to you in a letter dated October 6, 1987.
The staff's safety evaluations listed in Table 2 of Enclosur'e 1 and contained in Enclosure 2, cover the Browns Ferry employee concerns issues which the staff considered to be a representative sample.
The remainin~g topics were covered, in general, by the staff's review of restart issues.'VA's evaluations of the employee concerns in the Management and Personnel and Industrial Safety categories concluded that there were no safety-related con-cerns in these categories.
The staff's safety evaluations on these categories were forwarded in letters dated August 24, 1987 and December 14, 1987.
Employee concerns in the Intimidation, Harassment and Wrongdoing category were removed from the ECSP and assigned to the TVA Office of Inspector General for investigation.
The staff's evaluation of the resolution of these employee concerns is contained in a letter dated October 8, 1987.
