Dear Sir or Madam:

Subject:

NRC Inspection

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by Mr. L. F. Miller, Jr. of this

office on November 20-22,

1989 of activities authorized

by

NRC Operating

Licenses

DPR-80 and 82,

and to the discussion of the findings of the

inspection

held with Mr. J.

Townsend

and other members of his staff at the

conclusion of the inspection.

This was

a special,

announced

inspection to review how Pacific

Gas

and

Electric had staffed the Shift Supervisor position at Diablo Canyon Units

1

and 2.

In particular,

the apparent

assignment

of an unlicensed

person

to this

position from September

1,

1988 to January 6,

1989

was reviewed.

'Within this

area,

the inspection consisted

of selective

examinations

of procedures

and

representative

records,

interviews with personnel

and observations

by the

inspector.

The inspection

determined that

PGImE had apparently

not assigned

a senior licensed

person to be onsite at all times in overall plant control, from initial

licensing in April 1985 until the continuous

manning of the Shift Supervisor

position in January

1988.

(However, it is recognized that the required total

numbers of licensed

operators

and senior operators

were stationed at all times.)

The inspection

determined further that the position of Shift Supervisor,

formally created

in October

1987 at Diablo Canyon,

had authority to direct

licensed operators

on shift, and, therefore,

apparently

should

have

been

a

senior licensed position.

Finally, the inspection

concluded that from

September

1,

1988 to January

6,

1989,

an improper exception to your manning

practices

was

made to permit

an unlicensed

person

to assume

the senior licensed

responsibility of the Shift Supervisor.

Enforcement action associated

with the findings of this inspection will be

the subject of separate

correspondence.

An enforcement

conference

to review

this occurrence

and any additional'nformation or explanation

which you can

provide is scheduled

for December

19,

1989 at 9:00 a.m.

in the Region

V offices.
