Attention: Mr. Harold B. Ray, Senior Vice President, Power Systems
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-206, 361, 362/93-19
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by C. W. Caldwell,
J. J. Russell, and D. L. Solorio, of this office, and C. M. Regan, of the
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, on June 24 through July 28, 1993, of
activities authorized by NRC License Nos.
DPR-13, NPF-10, and NPF-15 and to
the discussion of our findings held by the inspectors with Mr. R. W. Krieger
and other members of the Southern California Edison Company staff at the
conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspection
report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspectors.
One violation of NRC requirements was identified within the scope of this
inspection involving inadequate corrective actions related to the removal of
lagging from a main steam safety valve in Unit 2 on February 5, 1993. This
violation is of particular concern because commitments made in a Licensee
Event Report (LER) involving the inoperability of a main steam safety valve in
1990, were not implemented.
Although we acknowledge your efforts to resolve
this issue by documenting the root cause of this event in an LER issued March
8, 1993, we request that your response to the violation address the actions
you have taken to ensure that commitments made in future LERs will be fully
implemented.
In addition, one non-cited violation was identified involving the failure to
properly control a change to an abnormal operating instruction. This
violation was identified by your Quality Assurance (QA)
organization, which we
consider to be a strength.
We note another deficiency involving the control of contractors occurred
during this inspection report period. Your QA organization noted a deficiency
in the control of weld filler material by a contractor employee. We note that
QA has identified similar instances of this by contractor employees. In
addition, our previous inspection reports (50-206/93-09 and 93-11) highlighted
further deficiencies in the control of contractor activities related to the
identification of degraded radiological control barriers, proper placement of
self-reading dcsimeters, inadvertent damage to equipment, and failures to

PDi;

properly restrain portable equipment. These instances of failures to control
contractor activities appear to warrant additional management attention to
assure that effective corrective actions are implemented.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in theenclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) when preparing your
response.
In your response, you should document the specific action taken and
any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence.
Your response should
include a discussion of the actions taken to ensure commitments in LERs are
implemented as discussed above. After reviewing your response to this Notice,
including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future
inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is
necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter-and the enclosure
will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased
to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
C. A. VanDenburgh, Chi
