Subject:

NRC Investigation - San Onofre Unit 1

This refers to the investigation conducted by Messrs 0. Shackleton, P.

Joukoff, and G. Yuhas of this office oh April 23 through May 8,1981, of

activities authorized by NRC License No. DPR-13, and to the discussion

of our findings held by Mr. Yuhas with Mr. J. M. Cwran and other members

of your staff on April 30, 1981.

Areas examined during this investigation are described in the enclosed

investigation report. Within these areas, the investigation consisted

of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,

interviews with personnel, and observations by the investigators.

No items of noncompliance with NRC requirements were identified within

l

the scope of this investigation. Our examination of your system to

control release of radioactively contaminated tools and other materials

from restricted areas, however, revealed that the system failed to

provide for a full accounting of the release of such items.

In view of

the findings of our investigation which substantiated that hand tools

and other materials had been removed from the facility site and the

!

l

results of our previous inspections (Report Nos. 50-206/81-02and81-11)

'

wherein we found that low level radioactive material had been removed

l

inadvertently from the restricted area, we are concerned with the

l

effectiveness of your program to preclude the release of potentially

radioactive material from the restricted area. Accordingly, we believe

this matter requires your attention. We will continue to review this

l,

matter in future NRC inspections.
