Attention: Mr. D. J. Fogarty
Executive Vice President
Gentlemen:
This refers to a meeting held with you, Mr. K. P. Baskin, Mr. C. B. McCarthy,
Jr. and other members of the SCE staff at the San Onofre site on November 2,
1988. The subjects discussed are summarized-in theenclosed report. A copy
of the meeting agenda is also enclosed.
At this meeting we discussed actions which are being implemented by SCE to
improve the performance of engineering and technical work at San Onofre. We
also discussed recent SCE initiatives in the area of predictive and preventive
maintenance and preparations for transshipment of Unit 1 spent fuel to Units 2
and 3. During the meeting we commented on the significant improvements which
SCE has realized in plant operational performance during the past year and
encouraged SCE management to continue the self-critical attitude and attention
to detail which has contributed to this improvement.
As discussed further in the enclosed report, we emphasized the following
principal areas of current NRC concern:
A review of the numerous technical and engineering problems identified
during the past year underscores several missed opportunities for
licensee quality oversight groups to identify and correct the observed
problems. SCE management should provide continuing attention to effec
tive utilization of these groups to find and correct problems before they
become self-revealing or 'are pointed out by outside activities. The NRC
will be focusing additional inspection activity into this area.
SCE management should pursue timely follow-through and periodic reassess
ment of the actions being implemented to improve engineering and tech
nical performance. This is an important task that will receive continued
NRC inspection emphasis.
Several plant problems have been recently identified which indicate a
need for improved communications between SCE and the NRC. SCE management
should emphasize timely and candid evaluation of the need to inform NRC
regarding evolving plant problems.
We look forward to additional discussion on these matters during the coming
year.
