Attention:

D. Shiffer, Senior

Vice President

and General

Manager

Nuclear

Business

Unit

Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

MANAGEMENT MEETING

This refers to the management

meeting held with yourself and members of your

staff at the Region

V office on May 28,

1991.

Subjects

discussed

during the

meeting are sumarized

in the enclosed

meeting report.

Diablo Canyon

has experienced

a number of main condenser

steam

dump valve

failures.

Your corrective

actions for these

valves

now appear satisfactory.

However, your root cause determination

and safety evaluation of the

dump

valve failures did not appear to get the comprehensive

attention they

deserved until after the

May 17,

1991 valve failures.

Now that the valve

internals

on Unit

1 have

been

changed

out with internals of a different

design

we recommend that you remain alert to assure

yourselves

that this

change is

an effective solution to your steam

dump valve problems.

The

PGSE Event Investigation

Team investigation into the Unit 1 loss of

off-site power event appears

to have

been thorough.

In implementing corrective

actions

as

a result of the event,

we encourage

you to consider the role of

supervisors

and management

in the planning

and oversight of maintenance

activities.

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.

Your continued cooperation is appreciated.

If you have

any questions

concerning this management

meeting report,

we will be please

to discuss

them

with you.

Sincerely,

Enclosures;

R.

Division of Reactor Safety
