NOTIC F

0 ATION Pacific Gas and Electric Company-Diablo Canyon Units 1 and 2

. Docket Nos. 50-275 and 50-323 License Nos.

DPR-80 and DPR-82 P

. During an NRC inspection conducted on September 14 through October 8, '1992, violations of NRC requi'rements were identified.

In accordance with the General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violations are identified below:

A.

Technical Specification 4.0.5-states in part that "...Inservice

, inspection of ASIDE Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components...shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASNE Boiler and Pressure

'essel Code and applicable addenda..."

The ASHE Boiler and Pressure Vessel

Code,Section XI, 1977 Edition through Summer 1978 Addenda, Subartice IWA-2300(e) states in part that "Nondestructive examination persohnel for all methods shall be examined...Personnel vision examination shall be conducted annually."

Contrary to the above, on October 1,

1992, the NRC inspector identified that vision examinations had not been conducted annually for an examiner who had performed two Unit 1 Section XI Hydrostatic Pressure Tests on September 4,

1992..

The examiner had last been tested on January 4,

1991.

This is a Severity Level IV violation {Supplement 1), applicable to Unit 1.

- B.

10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI states in part that "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as...

deviations, and nonconformances are promptly identified..."

Administrative procedure NPAP C-12/NPG-7, "Identification and Resol,ution of Problems and Nonconformances,"

Revision 21, Section 4.1 states in part that "Any individual who discovers a problem... or a nonconformance or suspects that a problem or nonconformance exists, is responsible for initiating an Action Request

{AR)..."

Subsubarticle IWP-4510 of Division 1 of Section XI of the ASNE Code states in part that "At least one Displacement Vibration Amplitude (Peak-,

to-Peak Composite) shall be read during each inservice test...

on a pump coupled to the driver, the measurement shall be taken on the bearing housing near the coupling."

i Contrary to the above on October 1,

1992, an NRC inspector identified that an AR had not been initiated to identify the problem that Section 10.23 of test procedure STP P-6B,

".Routine Surveillance Test of Steam-Driven Auxiliary Feedwater Pump," Revision 23, incorrectly identified the location to take vibration measurements for Test Point 3.

Revision 23 incorrectly identified the location of Test Point 3 as on the pump

casing, instead of on the bearing housing near the coupling as required by the ASME Code.

The licensee issued Revision 24 to procedure STP P-6B on September 25, 1992, to correct the error.

However, the problem was not documented on an AR, nor were earlier surveillance tests of the Unit 2 safety-related auxiliary feedwater pump 2-1 (performed on June 10, 17, July 8, August 5, and September 3,

1992, in accordance with the incorrect instructions) evaluated for potential impact on the operability of safety-related pump 2-1.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1), applicable to Unit 2.

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Pacific Gas and Electric Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.
