ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Browns Ferry 1, 2, and 3 Docket Nos. 50-259, 50-260, and 50-296 License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 During the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted on March 16 - March 27, 1992, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accor-dance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1991), the violation is listed below:
10 CFR 50 Appendix B, Criterion III, Design Control, requires that measures shall be established for the identification and control of design interfaces and for coordination among participating design organizations.
These measures shall include the establishment of procedures among participating design organizations for the review, approval, release, distribution, and revision of documents involving design interfaces.
Site Procedure SSP-9.3, (formerly SDSP 8.11) Plant Modifications and Design Change Control, established the administrative controls and require-ments for design changes and plant modifications based on design changes.
Nuclear Engineering Implementing Procedure, BFEP Pl 89-06, requires that prior to return to service primary and critical drawings be revised and issued to incorporate the installed changes.
Contrary to the above, these requirements were not met for the following examples:
A construction contractor, without adequate authorization, signed for Browns Ferry Nucleai Engineering as design authority on design change notice W16836A, on twelve advanced authorized forms for field design change notice F16903, on temporary alteration control form 3-91-004-100, on drawing approval for work orders 91-44565-00 and 91-44565-01, and a 10 CFR 50.59 safety assessment for a temporary alteration.
2.
During the troubleshooting of the 4160 volt loop after a power inter-ruption on January 13, 1992, it was discovered that a primary draw-ing had not been updated.
Several recent modifications had been installed and equipment energized for four months without updating t
the primary drawing.
This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement I).
