SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-275/98-02; 50-323/98-02 AND NOTICE OF
VIOLATION
Dear Mr. Rueger:
From January 4 through February 14, 1998, a routine inspection was conducted 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 period, your conduct of activities at the
Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant facilitywas generally characterized
by safety-conscious
operations, sound engineering and maintenance practices, and good radiation protection
support.
Based on the results of this inspection, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. The
violation involved several individual examples of failure to implement the sealed valve procedure.
The violation is cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances
surrounding this violation are described in detail in the enclosed report. The NRC has concluded
that information regarding the reason for the violation, the corrective actions taken and planned
to correct the violation and prevent recurrence is already adequately addressed
on the docket in
the enclosed report. Therefore, you are not required to respond to this letter unless the
description therein does not accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position.
In that
case, or ifyou choose to provide additional information, you should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed Notice.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its
enclosure(s),
and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).
