Attention:
Mr. J.
D. Shiffer, Senior Vice President
Nuclear Power Generation
Gentlemen:
NRC Inspection Reports
50-275/89-22,
dated
November 17,
1989,
and 50-275/89-27,
dated December'2,
1989,
documented
the results of a special
NRC inspection at
the
PG&E General Office and the Diablo Canyon site.
This inspection
involved an
NRC review of the specific actions
being
implemented
by
PG&E to
resolve deficiencies
associated
with the audit of safety-related
equipment
suppliers.
NRC Inspection Report 50-275/89-27
stated that enforcement action
on the
quality assurance
program deficiencies
noted during the inspection would be
the subject of separate
correspondence,
pending completion of licensee
action
to address
remaining
NRC concerns.
Our concerns
involved seventeen
supplieIs of safety-related
equipment that
had been
removed
from the
Oualified Supplier List (QSL) based
on recent licensee audit findings.
In
particular,
we expressed
concern that
PG&E had reinstated
these
seventeen
suppliers
on the
OSL without resolving the specific deficiencies
identified by the audits.
PG&E letter DCL-90-010, dated January
12, 1990, addressed
the above concerns.
In particular,
PG&E stated that each of the seventeen
suppliers
were
reevaluated
to address
the specific deficiencies identified by
PG&E audits.
Based
on this additional evaluation,
PG&E concluded that two of the
seventeen
suppliers
should not have
been reinstated
on the
OSL without
additional restrictions.
Specifically,
PG&E determined that unassembled,
safety-related
parts procured from one supplier
and
non-ASME, safety-related
parts procured
from another supplier required additional dedication prior to
use in safety-related
applications.
PG&E has taken action to implement these
restr ictions.
We consider that the January
12
PG&E submittal
has
addressed
our remaining
concerns.
Accordingly,
a Notice of Violation addressing
the deficiencies
identified during the above referenced
inspection is enclosed
herewith
as
Appendix A.
In this regard,
PG&E has already satisfactorily addressed
the
corrective actions associated
with improper identification and correction of
audit program deficiencies,
as cited in violation A of the attached
Notice.
Therefore,
no licensee
response
is required for violation A.
However,
violation B addresses
the failure of PG&E management
to properly evaluate
and
correct deficiencies
associated
with the improper reinstatement
of two
suppliers
on the OSL, and requires
a licensee
response.
The 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.

Record Note:
OE has requested
that all enforcement
actions involving procurement
program deficiencies
be provided to
OE for concurrence prior to issue.
In this regard,
the subject of this enforcement
was discussed
with J
Luehman
on 1/29/89,
and it was agreed that since this enforcement
deals with corrective action program deficiencies
rather
than specific
procurement
program deficiencies,
submittal to
OE was not required.
The action of this letter
was discussed
with NRR/VIB (McIntyre) on
2/7/DD, who agreed. ~. g~M~ ~ ~/ir/go
