Attention:
Mr. J.

Gentlemen:
Subject:
NRC Inspection of Diablo Canyon Units
1 and
2
This refers to the
a routine inspection
conducted
by Messrs.
L.
M.
Padovan
and
K.
E. Johnston
during the period of December
20,
1987 through January
30,
1988.
This inspection
examined your activities
as authorized
by
NRC License
Nos
~
DPR-80 and
At the conclusion of the inspection,
discussions
of
their findings were held with Mr. J.
D. Townsend,
and other members of your
staff.
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.
Based
on the results of this inspection, it appears
that one of your
activities
was not conducted
in full compliance with NRC requirements,
as set
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed
herewith as Appendix A.
Your
response
to this notice is to be submitted in accordance
with the provisions
of 10 CFR 2.201
as stated
in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.
In addition, three
areas of concern
were identified in this report and
discussed
in the exit meeting for assessment
by plant management.
First,,the
described
January
8, 1988, reactor trip represents
another
example of failure
to provide
a thorough
and in-depth assessment
of a first-of-a-kind operation,
and obtain higher level supervision or management
guidance
before proceeding
in the face of uncertainty.
Secondly,
several
examples
of inadequate
configuration controls are provided,
suggesting
the
need for improvements
in
the configuration control
system at Diablo Canyon.
Thirdly, documented
recent
examples of inadequate
root cause
analysis
and untimely corrective actions
indicate plant management
must take additional
steps
to assure
an atmosphere
whereby your staff members insist upon
a thorough explanation
and in-depth
understanding
of plant problems in a. timely manner.
Further management
attention to address
these
issues
and implement
and enhance
the corrective
actions described
in your June
15,
1987, letter to the
NRC appears
to be
warranted.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 (a),
a copy of this letter and the enclosures
will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
