ENFORCEMENT CONFERENCE
REPORT 50-275/93-14
AND 50-323/93-14
This letter refers to the inspection of Diablo Canyo'n
Powe
ower Plant conducted
on
'1
5 28
1993.
Our inspection identified several
apparent violations
o
NRC requirements,
as described
in Inspection
Report 50-275/
323/93-11.
These apparent violations,
and your subsequent
corrective actions,
were the topic of an enforcement
conference
held at
g'ay
,
.
esu
19
1993.
Results of the enforcement
conference
are described
in t e
enclosed
enforcement
conference
report {50-275/93-14
and 50-323/93-14).
A
copy of the handout
and slides presented
by your staff at the meeting is
enclosed
as
an attachment
to the report.
Based
on our review of these matters,
we are issuing the enclosed
Notice of
Violation (Notice), whi ch lists the following violations:
(A) the failure
o
im'lement
and maintain
a program that ensured
the capability to obtain
and
s
and
articulates
ana lyze reactor coolant
samples
and samples'f radioiodine
p
in plant gaseous
effluents under'ccident
condi tions;
( )
B
the failure to
perform
a written safety evaluation
of changes
to your faci lities
and
procedures
for post-accident
sampling
and analysis of reactor coolant
dissolved
Taken together,
these
v1olat1ons
1illustrate that your post-accident
sampling
program was vulnerable
i n that it relied
on metho

Lo
-" r availability in a worst-case
accident.
As such,
.e
'
escalated
enForcement
action for this matter.
However, your enforcemeni
conference
presentation
sufficiently demonstrated
that other operable
means
existed for short-term
and long-term assessment
of core
g
p
effluent releases,
and that the resultant
safety significance of these
violations is relatively low.
Also, based
on your enforcement
conference
pl"esentati on,
we recognize
the effectiveness
of your corrective
actions: t ',e
