NOTICE OF VIOLATION Paci fi c Gas and Electri c Company Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1
Docket No.
50-275 License No.
DPR-76 EA 82-13 As a result of an investigation conducted between December 1981 and January 1982 of the statements made by representatives of Pacific Gas and Electric Company,
- licensee, at a November 3, 1981 meeting with the NRC Staff and others the following violation was identified and has been categorized in accordance with the NRC Interim Enforcement Policy, 45 FR 66754 (October 7, 1988):
At a meeting held in Bethesda, i4laryland, on November 3, 1981, as part of the NRC Staff review of the seismic reverification program at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Unit l, the NRC Staff inquired of the licensee whether it had received reports dealing with the seismic reverification program being conducted by R. L. Cloud Associates, Inc., which the NRC did not have.
Representatives of the licensee made responses indicating that no written reports existed.
Contrary to the above, the responses (at pages 215-217 of the transcript of the November 3, 1981 meeting) of the licensee's representatives on November 3, 1981 to the NRC Staff constituted a material false statement by omission within the meaning of Section 186 of the Atomic Energy Act of
- 1954, as amended.
The responses were false in that at the time the responses were made indicating that no reports existed which had not been provided to the NRC Staff, at least two draft reports had been prepared by R. L. Cloud Associates, Inc.,
and made available to the licensee on October 21, 1981 and on October 26, 1981, but had not been provided to the NRC Staff.
Mhen the.. responses were made, licensee representatives, other than those making the false statement, were present and recognized the responses as inaccurate but failed to take steps to correct the information.
Other licensee representatives including one who unintentionally made, in part, the false statement stated after they knew of the existence of the draft reports, that the responses made were inaccurate.
The false statement is material in that the NRC Staff would have requested submittal of the draft reports along with all comments submitted by the licensee in order to evaluate the independence of the reverification program.
This is a Severity Level III violation.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2,201, Pacific Gas and Electric Company is hereby requi red to submit to this office within 30 days of the date of this Notice a written statement or explanation, including for each alleged violation: (1) admission or denial of the alleged violation; (2) the reasons for the violation if admitted; (3) the corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and (5) i;he date when

full compliance will be achieved.
Consideration may be given to extending the response time for good cause shown.
Under the authority of Section 182 of the Act, 42 U.S.C.
2232, this response shall be submitted under oath or affirmation.
