SUBJECT:

DIABLO CANYON MOV INSPECTION

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 93-19

,!

This refers to the inspection

conducted. by Messrs.

C. Myers,

and

M. Runyan

during the period of July 19-23,

1993.

The inspection consisted of a review

of activities authorized for your Diablo Canyon facility.

At the conclusion

of the inspection,

the findings were discussed

with Mr. J.

Townsend

and other

members of your staff.

This inspection

examined the implementation of the ptogram which you have

developed in response

to Generic Letter 89-10,

"Safety-Related

Motor-Operated

Valve Testing

and Surveillance."

The inspection consisted of interviews with

personnel

and selective examination of records

and procedures.

We concluded

that the implementation of your motor-operated

valve program was generally in

accordance

with your commitments to Generic Letter 89-10.

The report discusses

a concern associated

with the auxiliary feedwater control

valve 2-LCV-109.

Despite having completed your GL89-10 program to assure

the

capability of the

MOV to operate

under worst case

design basis conditions, the

MOV subsequently

failed to open during routine surveillance testing.

We are

concerned that your initial corrective actions did not identify the root cause

for the failure prior to returning the

MOV to service nor assess

the

implications of the failure on the adequacy of your

MOV program.

The

objective of the GL89-10 program is to assure that

common mode deficiencies

in

the design

and maintenance

of MOVs have

been recognized

and corrected.

Deficient

MOV performance

should receive particular attention to assure that

your program is comprehensive

and effective.

In accordance

with 10 CFR Part 2.790 of the'NRC's

"Rules of Practice,"

a copy

of this letter

and its enclosure will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

concerning this inspection,

to discuss

them with you.
