Docket Nos.. 50-206, 50-361, 50-362
Southern California Edison Company

Rosemead, California 92770
Attention:
Dr. L. T. Papay
Senior 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 June 27,
1989.
The subjects discussed are summarized in the enclosed report. A copy
of the meeting agenda is enclosed.
At this meeting, we discussed the actions being implemented by SCE to improve
engineering and technical work and the effectiveness of quality oversight
activities in support of San Onofre. In addition, we reviewed SCE efforts in
reorganizing the nuclear engineering and quality assurance organizations, and
relocating these organizations closer to the San Onofre site. We also
discussed the SCE root cause investigation program and implementation of the
Fitness for Duty Rule.*
It appears that SCE has laid proper foundations for improvement in these areas.
However, as discussed during our meeting, we view the lack of Quality Assurance
supervisory presence in the plant spaces to be a significant shortcoming in
assessing plant activities which tends to somewhat offset the effectiveness of
your current initiatives. During the meeting, your newly appointed Quality
Assurance Manager indicated that a primary goal of his near term efforts will
be to emphasize activities which add value to the quality assurance process. I
agree with the concept of "value added" as a means of assessing the effective
ness of quality assurance activities in an organization, and anticipate
improvements over the next few months, particularly in the following areas:
The quality of in-house design activities and the turnover of plant
modifications;
The findings of your nuclear quality oversight activities and the
effective implementation of these findings into program improvements; and
The thoroughness and effectiveness of your root cause investigations and
implementation of effective corrective actions.
We look forward to additional discussion on these matters with SCE during the
remainder of the current SALP period.
