APPENDIX A l

NOTICE OF VIOLATION Pacific Gas and Electric Company Docket No. 50-323 Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant License No. DRP-82 i

During an NRC inspection conducted on July 30 through September 9,1989, a

violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the ' General e

Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C (1989), the violation is listed below:

Facility Technical Specification 6.8.1 states that:

" Written procedures shall be established, implemented and maintained covering... applicable procedures recommended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision

2. February 1978...."

Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, February 1978, Section 11 specified procedures for the " Plant Fire Protection Program." In partial implementation of this requirement, licensee Administrative Procedure NPAP C-113, Revision 6, dated September 22, 1988, " Fire System Impairment" states in section 4.1.3: "Whenever a fire protection system is found to be or is to be impaired, the shift foreman and the fire Marshall (or designee) shall be notified."

Contrary to the above, on August 2 and 15, 1989, the fire door B-35 for the Unit 2 Residual Heat Removal Heat Exchanger #2 was impaired to permit frequent access through the locked door by a workman in the area.

The shift foreman and the fire Marshall were not notified.

On August 2, the inspector observed the door latch disabled by tape and on August 15, the inspector observed the door ajar by use of a set of pliers.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).

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, DC 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region V, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector, Diablo Canyon, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice.

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 if admitted, (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.

If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order may be issued to show cause why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked or why such other actions as may be proper should not be taken.

Consideration may be given to extending the response time for good cause shown.
