ENCLOSURE 1
NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pacific Gas and Electric Company Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Docket Nos.:
50-275 50-323 License Nos.:
DPR-80 DPR-82 During an NRC inspection conducted on May 12-16, 1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.
In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.8.1.a. states, in part, that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained covering the applicable procedures recommended in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, Appendix A.
Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix'A, Section 7.e.1, requires procedures for the radiation work permit program.
Section 4.2.5 of Procedure RPI.ID9, Revision 1, "Radiation Work Permit," requires radiation protection personnel to perform radiological surveys and sampling as required by the radiation work permit.
Contrary to the above, between May 11-13, 1997, the inspectors identified that air sampling was not performed during work in the Unit 1 residual heat removal recirculation sump, as required by the radiation work permit.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement IV)(50-275/323/9708-01).
Pursuant to the provisions 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, D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas

This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.
Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response.
If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken.
Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
'7706040i62 970602 PDR ADQCK 05000275 8
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public ocument Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
Dated at Arlington, Texas this 2nd day of June 1997
