ENCLOSURE 1 NOTICE OF VIOLATION Tennessee Valley Authority Docket Nos. 50-327 and 50-328 Sequoyah Units 1 and 2 License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 The following violations were identified during an inspection conducted on July 6 - August 5,1985. The Severity Levels were assigned in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy (10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C).
1.
Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that written procedures be implemented and maintained covering safety-related activities stated in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, which includes use of Administrative Procedures.
The licensee has established Administrative Instruction, AI-12, Adverse Conditions and Corrective Actions, to provide measures which assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified, documented, and corrected, and that actions are taken to prevent their recurrence.
Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to implement AI-12 in that documented identification and appropriate corrective actions were not taken to reduce vibration of an Individual Rod Position Indication (IRPI) module.
Instead, a paper wedge was placed between IRPI modules by plant operators in an attempt to reduce vibration and prevent the modules from becoming electrically disconnected while required to be operable.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
This violation applies to Unit 2 only.
2.
Technical Specification 6.11 requires that procedures be prepared consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 20 and shall be approved, maintained and adhered to for all operations involving personnel radiation exposure.
The licensee has established Radiological Control Instructions RCI-1, Radiological Hygiene Control, and RCI-14, Radiation Work Permit (RWP)
Program, to meet certain of these requirements.
RCI-1 states that whole body frisking is required when exiting a contamination zone to prevent spread of contamination to other areas. RCI-14 requires each employee to be responsible for meeting the requirements listed on the RWP and RWP Timesheet.
RWP 02-0-85663, issued for entry to the waste gas compressor room on July 16, 1985, required a whole body frisk upon exit from the contaminated area.
Contrary to the above, on July 16, 1985, two licensee employees failed to parform a whole body frisk upon exit from the waste gas compressor room.
This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement IV).
