APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Southern California Edison Company Docket No. 50-362 San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 3 License No. NPF-15 During an NRC inspection conducted on January 19 through 22 and February 1 through 5, 1988, one violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedures for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1987), the violation is listed below:

1.

10 CFR 71.137, "Audits" reads, in part:

"The licensee shall carry out a comprehensive system of planned and periodic audits to verify compliance with all aspects of the quality assurance program and to determine the effectiveness of the program.

The audits must be performed in accordance with written procedures or checklists by appropriately trained personnel not having direct responsibilities in the areas being audited."

Contrary to the above, since 1984, no specific procedure or checklist existed to assure that a comprehensive system of planned and periodic audits, to verify compliance with all applicable aspects of the Quality Assurance program and to determine the effectiveness of the Quality Assurance program for the use of transport packages, was carried out.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement V).

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Southern California Edison Company is hereby required to submit a written statement of explanation to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region V, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice. This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:

(1) the reason for the violation if admitted, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.

Consideration may be given to extending the response time for good cause shown.
