APPENDIX A NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pacific Gas and Electric Company Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Docket Nos.
50-275 and 50-323 License Nos.
DPR-80 and DPR-82 During an NRC inspection conducted on October 23, 1988, through December 3,
- 1988, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C (1988), the violation is listed below:
A.
Facility Technical Specification 6.8. 1 states that:" "Written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering...applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978...."
Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, Section 8 specified "Procedures for Control and Testing of Measuring and Test Equipment and for Surveillance Tests, Procedures, and Calibration."
In partial implementation of this requirement, licensee Administrative Procedure (AP) C-3S3 Revision 0, "Dealing with Gauge Osci llations During the Performance of ASME Section XI Required Tests",
states in section 5.3.4, "If the gauge is oscillating irregularly, throttle the gauge isolation valves...take 5 spot readings at 10 second intervals, sum the 5 readings and divide the sum by 5 to obtain an average reading."
Contrary to the above, on October 28, 1988, while performing an ASME Section XI required Auxiliary Saltwater (ASW) System pump baseline performance test (Surveillance Test Procedure P-7A), for ASW pump 2-2, a
pump discharge'flow gauge oscillated irregularly and 5 spot readings at 10 second intervals were not taken.
This is a level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the prov'isions 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, DC 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region V, and a copy to the NRC Senior Resident Inspector, Diablo Canyon, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.

(1) the reason for the violation if

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this
- Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Consideration may be given to extending the response time for good cause shown.
