INSPECTION

REPORT 50-275/94-26;

50-323/94-26

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by Hr.

W. L. Holley of this office on

October 24-28,

1994.

The inspection

included

a review of activities

authorized for your Diablo Canyon Nuclear

Power Plant,

Units

1 and 2,

facility.

At the conclusion of the inspection,

the findings were discussed

with those

members of your staff identified in the enclosed

report.

Areas

examined during the inspection

are identified in the report,

Within

these

areas,

the inspection consisted of selective

examinations of procedures

and representative

records,

interviews with personnel,

and observation of

activities in progress.

The results of this inspection

are documented

in the

enclosed report.

It was identified by your staff that,

on two occasions,

individuals willfully

entered

areas controlled

as high radiation areas

(HRAs) without complying with

applicable requirements.

This was in violation of Technical

Specification 6. 12. 1.

Although these

examples

were willful, this violation is

not being cited because

the criteria in paragraph

VII.B.2 of Appendix

C to

10 CFR Part 2 of the

NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

were satisfied.

We recognize that these violations were identified by

PGEE personnel

and that

each resulted

in disciplinary action against

the individuals who elected to

violate requirements.

The

NRC views this as'a positive indicator of the

strength of PGEE's

programs.

Nonetheless,

because

violations of HRA

requirements

have

been

a recurring problem at Diablo Canyon,

the

NRC believes

that

a meeting to discuss this concern

would be beneficial.

It is our understanding,

based

on

a conversation

between

Hs. Ka'thleen

Hubbard

of your staff and Blaine Hurray of Region

IV on December

13,

1994, that

a

meeting will be conducted

on January

4,

1995,

at your facility to discuss

whether additional corrective actions

concerning this type of violation are

warranted.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the

NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of

this letter

and its enclosures will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.
