Dear Sir ot

SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION OF DIABLO CANYON'UNITS 1

AND 2

This refers to the special

inspection

conducted

by Mr e

W. J.

Wagner, of this

office, and Mr. S.

M. Matthews

and Mr. R. L. Pettis, Jr., of the Office of

Nuclear Reactor Regulation,

on October 23-26,

and November 6-9,

1989.

This

inspection

examined your. activities

as authorized

by NRC License

Nos.

DPR-80

and DPR-82.

We discussed -our findings with members of your staff at the

conclusion of the inspection.

Areas

examined during this inspection

are described

in the enclosed

inspection

report.

Within these

areas

the inspection consisted

o'f s'elective

examinations

of procedures

and representative

records, interviews'ith personnel

and

observations

by the inspectors.

This inspection is

a followup of the 'inspectuion 'document'ed

in NRC inspection

report 50-275/89-22,

dated

November,;17,, 1989; Ttps 'inspection

involved a

assure

that equipment

wi 11 perform under all design requirements.

In

particular, your engineering

evaluations failed to.address

the specific

deficiencies

noted in the audit reports associated

with those

vendors

and also

failed to evaluate

the impact of the deficiencies

on the hardware installed zn

the plant.

The use of performance history alone

does not constitute

an

adequate

dedication for safety-related

equipment.

Because

PG&E was

aware that the prior audits

were inadequate,

the specific

deficiencies identified during the reaudits

should

have

been

addressed

and

resolved.

Accordingly, within 30 days,

PG&E is requested

to advise the

NRC

of PG&E's actions to:

a)

Address

each of the specific deficiencies identified during the

reaudits of the seventeen

suppliers

which were reinstated

on the

(}SL

and define the basis for PG&E's decision that performance history

evaluation

has resolved the observed deficiencies.

b)

Provide

a safety evaluation addressing

the basis for continued plant

operation for installed equipment supplied

by any vendor for which

the evaluation described

in paragraph

(a) above concludes that the

vendor should not have

been reinstated

on the OSL.

c)

Define an appropriately prioritized and timely program for

reauditing all suppliers identified as having been

inadequately

audited

by PG&E.

In accordance

with '10 CFR 2.790(a),,a. copy of this letter and the enclosure

will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

I

Should you have

any questions

concerning this inspection

we will be pleased

to

discuss

them with you.
