NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-275/97-12; 50-323/97-12

Dear Mr. Rueger:

An NRC inspection was conducted July 20 through August 30, 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.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at Diablo

Canyon was generally characterized

by competent,

professional,

and safety-conscious

performance of operations,

maintenance,

engineering,

and plant support.

During the

inspection period, the operators'imely response

to the loss of cooling oil flow in a main

transformer prevented

a shutdown of the unit.

In addition, replacement of the Unit 1 main

steam safety valve discs with Inconel X-750 discs and the current augmented test program

for the main steam safety valves has indicated promising improvement

of the performance

and reliability of these valves.

In accordance

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

a copy of this letter

and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

mas

.
