Attention:
Mr. Harold B. Ray
Senior Vice President, Nuclear
Gentlemen:
This refers to the special inspection conducted by Messrs. A. L. Hon and
C. W. Caldwell of this office on October 1 through November 15, 1990.
This
inspection included a review of activities authorized for your San Onofre
Units 2 and 3.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the inspectors discussed
their findings with Mr. H. E, Morgan and other members of your staff identi-
fied in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspec-
tion report.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinatiors of procedures and representative records, interviews with
-
personnel, and observations by the inspectors.
Based on the results of this inspection, two apparent violations were
identified and are being considered for escalated enforcement action in
accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC
Enforcement Actions" (Enforcement Policy), 10 CFR Part 2 Appendix C (1990).
These two licensee-identified Technical Specifications violations involved
misalignment of valves that resulted in inoperability of important safety
.
equipment. One affected the emergency core cooling and containment cooling
sub-systems in Unit 3, and also affected the Unit's containment integrity.
The second violation affected the auxiliary feedwater system in Unit 2.
Since these violations are being considered for escalated enforcement action,
no Notice of Violation is presently being issued for these inspection find-
ings.
In addition, please be advised that the number and characterization of
the apparent violations described in the enclosed inspection report may change
as a result of further NRC review.
An enforcement conference to discuss these apparent violations has been
scheduled for December 11, 1990. The purposes of this conference are to
discuss the apparent violations, their causes and safety significance; to
provide you the opportunity to point out any errors in our inspection report;
to provide an opportunity for you to present your proposed corrective
/ /
)
actions; and to discuss any other information that will help us determine the
appropriate enforcement action in accordance with the Enforcement Policy.
