The conditions of that draft license were discussed at meetings with the Commission on August 10 and 27, 1981.
Enclosed for Commission consideration of Diablo Canyon, Unit 1 are copies of the current draft.
A few revisions to the draft license initially transmitted on August 7, 1981 have been made.
In particular, the changes to the following license conditions (see enclosed) should be noted:
. Condition E has been modified to reflect the findings in ALAB-653 (RESTRICTED) decfsfon issued on September 9,
1981
. Condition C(8)b - Shift llannfng and C(8)c - Management of Operations have been inserted per discussion with the Commission at the August 27, 1981 meeting.
Conforming changes in numbering of the conditions C(8)b thru C(8)o in August 7, 1981 draft were made.
. Condition C(5)c - Equipment gualfffcation has been modified to reflect the results of a recent staff audit of equipment qualification data.
. Condition C(8)i - Relief and Safety Yalve Test Requirements deleted "*"
and reworded to conform to Commission approved wording used in the Sequoyah 2 license.
