SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-275/97-08; 50-323/97-08 AND NOTICE OF

VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Rueger:

An NRC inspection was conducted

May 12-16, 1997, at your Diablo Canyon Nuclear

Power Plant, Units

1 and 2, reactor facilities. The enclosed report presents the scope and

results of that inspection.

This inspection focused primarily on Unit

1 radiation protection outage activities.

A

violation was identified regarding the failure of radiation protection technicians to perform

air sampling as required by a radiation work permit.

Although the safety consequences

of

this incident were minimal, the major concern was that approximately six radiation

protection technicians were involved in providing job coverage for the task and none knew

the air sampling requirement of the radiation work permit.

This violation is cited in the enclosed

Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding the violation 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.

II

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of this letter,

its enclosure,

and your response

will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

To the extent possible, your response

should not include any personal privacy, proprietary,

or safeguards

information so that it can be placed in the PDR.without redaction.
