Subject:'RC
Inspection of Diablo Canyon Units
1. and
2
This refers to the routine inspection
conducted
by D. Kirsch,- R.
Huey,
and
S.
Matthews during the period of March 10-17,
1992.
This inspection
examined
your activities
as authorized
by
NRC License
Nos.
and DPR-82.
At the
conclusion of the inspection,
a discussion of the inspectors'indings
was
held with members of your staff.
Areas
examined during this inspection
are described
in the enclosed
inspection
report.
Within these
areas,
the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with
personnel,
and observations
by the inspectors.
Based
on the results of this inspection, it appears
that certain of your
activities were not conducted
in full compliance with NRC requirements,'s
set
forth in the enclosed
One other violation, involving
failure to properly implement qualit'y assurance
requirements for a safety
related
procurement,
is not being cited because
your efforts in identifying
and correcting the violation met the criteria specified in Section VII.B.2 of
,the Enforcement Policy.
The inspection identified that you did not conduct your activities for
procurement of your sixth emergency generator
in a manner to assure
procurement of a product which fully met your quality requirements.
Further,
you had several
opportunities to identify and correct the procurement
deficiencies.
For example,
your audit of the generator
supplier in 1989
identified problems,
however,
you issued the purchas'e
order prior to the audit
report being issued
and prior to the supplier being placed
on your qualified
suppliers list; you failed to properly res'olve
an important draft audit
finding involving a poorly implemented
commercial
grade dedication
program;
and your resolution of a nonconformance
report regarding
inadequate
supplier
audits,
which was closed in late
1990, failed to include the
1989 audit in its
scope of corrective action.
In addition, the inspection identified that

when you did recognize the problems with the
1989 audit, your proposed
.corrective actions to resolve the problems
were too limited in scope
and did
not address
the potential for similar deficiencies
in other audits performed
during the
same time period.
You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed
Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response,
you should document the specific actions
and any additional actions
you plan to prevent recurrence.
After reviewing your response
to this Notice,
including your proposed corrective actions
and the results of future
inspections,
the
NRC will determine
whether further
NRC enforcement
action is
necessary
to ensure
compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the
NRC Public. Document
Room.
The responses
directed
by this letter are not subject to the clearance
procedures
of the Office of Management
and Budget
as required
by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980,
Pub.
L. No.96-511.
Should you have
any questions
concerning this inspection,
we will be pleased
to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely
