SUBJECT:

SAN ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - NRC INSPECTION REPORT 050-00361/2024-004 AND 050-00362/2024-004

Dear Frederic Bailly:

This letter refers to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted onsite from June 24-27, 2024, with continuing in-office review until July 24, 2024, for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3. The inspectors discussed the results of the inspection with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the onsite inspection and during the final exit meeting on July 24, 2024. The inspection results are documented in the enclosure to this letter.

This inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to public health and safety, the common defense and security, and to confirm compliance with the Commissions rules and regulations, and with the conditions of your licenses. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selected examination of procedures and representative records, observation of activities, independent measurement of radiation levels, and interviews with personnel. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed your implementation of decommissioning performance; radioactive waste treatment, and effluent and environmental monitoring; remedial and final surveys; fire protection program; and solid radioactive waste management and transportation of radioactive materials.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two Severity Level IV violations of NRC requirements occurred. The first violation involves your failure to ensure a package for shipment was leakproof and properly closed and sealed to prevent release of radioactive content as required by U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. The second violation involves your failure to ensure, by examination or appropriate tests, that the packaging for the Unit 2 pressurizer was proper for the contents being shipped as required by DOT regulations. Since your staff placed the two deficiencies into your corrective action program and the safety significance of the issues was determined to be low, and because the violations were non-repetitive and not willful, these violations are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCV), consistent with Section 2.3.2.a of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The current NRC Enforcement Policy is included on the NRC's Website at (https://www.nrc.gov/aboutnrc/regulatory/enforcement/enforce-pol.html). These NCVs are described in the subject inspection report. You are not required to respond to this letter unless the description herein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position.

However, if you contest the violation or significance of the NCVs, you should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to: (1) the Regional Administrator, Region IV; and (2) the Director, Office of Enforcement, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRCs Agency Rules of Practice and Procedure, a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response, if you choose to provide one, will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRCs Website at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy or proprietary information so that it can be made available to the public without redaction.

If you have any questions regarding this inspection report, please contact Ms. Stephanie Anderson at 817-200-1213 or the undersigned at 817-200-1249.

Sincerely, Gregory G. Warnick, Chief Decommissioning, ISFSI; Operating Reactor Branch Division of Radiological Safety and Security Docket Nos. 50-361; 50-362 License Nos. NPF-10; NPF-15 Enclosure:
