Subject:
MANAGEMENT MEETING OF APRIL 21,
1992
This refers to the April 21,
1992 open meeting held with you and members of
your staff at the
NRC Region
V office in Walnut Creek, California.
A list of
attendees,
a summary of the meeting discussion,
and
a copy of the presentation
materials
used during the meeting
are provided in the enclosures.
You and your staff discussed
significant weaknesses
in your guality Assurance
(gA) procurement audit process
which permitted notable quality problems to be
encountered
during procurement of the sixth emergency diesel
generator for
your Diablo Canyon facility.
In addition,
you presented
an update of your
corrective actions
concerning the containment
fan cooler unit
(CFCU) backdraft
damper failures.
The discussions
concerning
procurement of a safety grade generator
from a
supplier
who had
been
removed from the qualified supplier list (gSL) raises
questions
about the
gA organization's ability to identify significant problems
in your procurement
process.
In addition,
we are concerned with the
effectiveness
of your gA organization
in addressing
deficiencies
once they
have
been recognized.
Although the
new gA management
appears
to have
recognized
the organization's
weaknesses
and to have
implemented
improvements
in the procurement
audit program, full resolution of previously identified
issues
remains
a concern.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter and
i
enclosures will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
Should you have
any questions
regarding this letter,
we will be pleased
to
discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
7/2
