During an

NRC inspection

conducted

between

February

several

examples

of a violation of NRC requirements

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 listed

below:

Diablo Canyon Technical Specification 6.8. 1. states,

in part, that

implemented,

and maintained

covering the applicable

procedures

recommended

in Appendix

A of

Regulatory

Guide

February

1978.

Appendix

A of Regulatory

Guide 1.33,

Revision

2,

recommends

procedures

covering the operation of emergency

core cooling systems,

surveillance

testing of safety

systems

required Technical Specifications,

chemical

control,

and administrative

procedures

for equipment control.

1.

Revision

10 of Operations

Procedure

(OP) B-3B:I, "Accumulators

Fill and Drain," Step 6.5.6,

requires

operation of Flow Control

Valve

(FCV) FCV-8878B to fill Accumulator 1-2.

Contrary to the above,

on March 22,

1995,

Valve FCV-8876B was

operated

instead of Valve FCV-8878B, resulting in

a partial drain

down of the accumulator.

~

Revision

11A of STP M-16N, "Operations of Trains

A and

B Slave

Relays

K632 and K634," Step

12. 10.3, requires restoration of both

Valves

FCV-37 and

FCV-38 to the open position.

Contrary to the above,

Step

12. 10.3

was incorrectly marked

N/A, on

March 14,

1995, resulting in failure to restore

the valves to

proper position at the conclusion of the surveillance.

Revision

1 of OP 1.DC20,

"Sealed

Components,"

Step 4.2.5,

requires

that Category

1 valve seals

may be broken,

when the checklist is

required to be current,

only after receiving documented

authorization

by the appropriate Shift Foreman.

Contrary to the above,

on March 28,

1995,

the licensee

operated

sealed

Valve SI-2-8920B without documented

authorization

or Shift

Foreman

approval.

Revision

8 of OP C-7C: III, "Condensate

Polishing

System

Transferring

Resin Beds,"

Step 6.4, contains

a manual

valve

alignment

sequence

for transfer of resin

and requires

a 25-minute

drain of the demineralizer prior to proceeding with the manual

transfer

procedure.

Contrary to the above,

on April I, 1995, neither the manual

valve

alignment

sequence

nor the 25-minute drain requirement

were

followed.

The incorrect valve alignment resulted

in

overpressurization

of the resin transfer

system

and rupture of the

anion regeneration

tank.

This is

a Severity
