Attention:
Mr. Kenneth P. Baskin, Vice President
Nuclear Engineering Safety and Licensing
Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine inspection conducted by Messrs. F. R. Huey,
J. E. Tatum, A. L. Hon, and A. D. Johnson of this office during the period of
May 22 through July 2, 1988 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. C. B. McCarthy and other members of the Southern
California Edison 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.
As discussed in paragraph 9 of the enclosed report, Unit 2 Licensee Event
Report (LER) 88-10 did not address important aspects of operability problems
associated with the Units 2/3 emergency chillers. In particular, the LER did
not address the ability of the emergency chillers to reject the design basis
heat load or the possible impact of the observed conditions on the accident
analyses in the FSAR.
It is our understanding that you plan to revise and
resubmit this LER.
I find this particularly distressing considering the
emphasis placed on adequacy of technical work in the last few months at San
Onofre. I would appreciate your assessment of what this piece of work says
about management's efforts to improve technical work.
In addition to the above, the summary section of the enclosed inspection
report identifies other examples which indicate a need for improved
performance by site management in recognizing the.safety significance of
plant problems and ensuring their thorough resolution. The issues discussed
in paragraphs 2.d and 8 of the enclosed report are specific examples of this
concern. These issues also indicate a need for more active involvement by
your quality oversight and review groups in recognizing and addressing these
problems. We would like to discuss these observations with you during a
future management meeting.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain of your
activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as set
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A. In

addition, one aspect of your plant design appeared to deviate from your
commitments to the NRC, as set forth in the Notice of Deviation, enclosed
herewith as Appendix B.
Your response to the Notice of Violation is to be submitted in accordance with
the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201 as stated in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.
You are requested to respond to the Notice of Deviation as requested in
Appendix B.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter, the enclosures,
and your responses will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notices are not
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be glad to
discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
J. B. Martin
Regional Administrator
