AND

NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Hr. Rueger:

On April 13,

1996,

the

NRC completed

an inspection at your Diablo Canyon

1

8

2

reactor facilities.

The enclosed

report presents

the results of that

inspection.

During the 6-week period covered

by this inspection period, your conduct of

activities at the Diablo Canyon facilities was generally characterized

by

safety-conscious

operations

and

sound engineering

and maintenance

practices.

Two violations were identified by the

NRC inspectors.

We are concerned

with

recent operations

performance

related

to operator failures to verify safety-

related

instrumentation

through channel

checks

required

by Technical

Specifications

and their failure to adhere to procedures

during the Unit

1

restart

process.

We are also concerned

with engineering

performance

related to assuring that

the

FSAR is updated

to be consistent

with plant conditions

and current

practices

and to assuring that changes

are appropriately evaluated.

We note

that subsequent

to inspector findings in this area

you have initiated aetio

s

to review the accuracy of the

FSAR and have identified

a number of

discrepancies

which require additional licensee

and

NRC review.

We request

that you provide

a response

describing your

FSAR review efforts

and the

results

obtained

thus far so that

we may resolve this matter.

The violations are cited in the enclosed

Notice of Violation, and the

circumstances

surrounding

the violations are described

in detail in the

enclosed

report.

Please

note that you are required to respond

to this letter

and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed

Notice when

preparing your response.

The

NRC will use your response,

in part, to

determine

whether further enforcement

action is necessary

to ensure

compliance

with regulatory requirements.
