APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pacific Gas and Electric Company Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Docket Nos.
50-275 and 50-323 License Nos.
DPR-80 and DPR-82 During an NRC inspection conducted on January 28, through March 10, 1990 a
violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1989), the violation is listed below:

Contrary to the above, on September 20, 1989, while excavating on the rise above the seawater intake area, licensee General Construction personnel unexpectedly uncovered and gouged buried auxiliary saltwater system piping, and did not initiate an Action Request.
