Attention:

Subject: NRC Inspection of San Onofre Units 2 and 3
This refers to the special team inspection conducted by Mr. W. Albert and
other members of our staff on August 12-23, 1985 of activities authorized by
NRC License Nos. NPF-10 and NPF-15, and to the discussion of our findings held
by Messrs. A. Chaffee and W. Albert and other members of our staf f with Mr. H.
B. Ray and other members of your.staf f at the conclusion of the ins.pection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed inspection
report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures and representative records, interviews with
personnel, and observations by the inspector.
This inspection focused 60 percent of its effort upon your administrative
controls associated with the AWS, the emergency DGs, the HPSI and 125 VDC
systems and the implementation and adherence.of those controls in the
following areas: Calibration Program; Maintena'nce Program; Surveillance
Program; Vendor Field Change Notices; and Design Changes and Modifications.*
The other 40 percent of the team's effort was focused on administrative
controls in the following areas: Onsite/Offsite Committee Activities; Quality
Assurance Audits (onsite and offsite); Licensed /Non-Licensed Operator Training
and Plant Operations.
,
Overall Conclusions
,
l
l
The strengths and weaknesses found in the areas examined are discussed in the
attached inspection report and also in the paragraphs summarizing the
inspection results (below).
In general the team found your organization to be
competently staffed with adequate management systems as evidenced by our
review of your organization and your procedure systems. With the exception of
your control over preparations for modification work and your use of work
!
instructions or drawings when approved maintenance procedures do not exist, we
l
found no significant problems with the procedures or the implementation of the
L
procedures. Recent events at your Unit 1 regarding the auxiliary feed water
pumps, subsequent to this inspection, indicate that your use of work
instructions or drawings may not be adequate. Management involvement was
l
evident in the reporting systems provided.

A.
Maintenance
Our inspection of maintenance activities included review of the
procedures controlling maintenance, review of selected records of
completed maintenance, verification of Quality Control Inspector
certification and evaluation of the timeliness of maintenance completion.
A concern was identified relating to the potential for violation of
Technical Specification requirements when approved maintenance procedures
were not available. Although some marginal instances were noted, no
clear-cut violations were identified in this area.
In the other areas of
the inspection of maintenance activities, no items of noncompliance or
deviations were identified.
B.
QA Audit Program
The quality assurance audit program as it relates to the operational and
support activities at the San Onofre facilities was found to be well
staffed, viable, and effective. The program appears to enjoy strong
support of the senior management of the Southern California Edison
Company.
C.
Non-Licensed Staff Training
The inspectors reviewed the site non-licensed staff training program for
conformance with applicable regulatory requirements, licensee comitments
and industry standards. Training program implementation was also
reviewed for compliance with training program descriptions. The
inspectors concluded the non-licensed staff training program and its
implementation met evaluation criteria, with the exception of training
recordkeeping. During a record review of training received by selected
individuals, the licensee was unable to directly relate documented
training to training program requirements. However, at the NRC exit
meeting, the licensee indicated a mechanism, not previously identified,
was available to directly relate training records to program
requirements. Accordingly, this item will be evaluated in a subsequent
NRC inspection.
D.
Procedures
The system for review, approval, and administrative control of procedures
was examined to ascertain whether procedures were maintained in
accordance with regulatory requirements. The technical content of
selected procedures was compared to various documents describing the
design operation of plant equipment. The inspectors concluded that
strong administrative control of procedures existed and that the
technical content of the procedures reviewed was consistent with the
Final Safety Analysis Report, the Technical: Specifications, and the
Vendor Manuals. One observation was made regarding temporary change
notices (TCN) to procedures. TCNs'are allowed to. remain effective
indefinitely. The inspectors felt that timely incorporation of TCNs into
procedures would be prudent for ease of -usage and administrative control.

M: suring and Test Equipment
,
The Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE) program was inspected to
determine whether procedures were established and implemented for the
calibration and control of M&TE used to test, calibrate and repair
safety-related components and systems. The inspectors concluded that an
adequate program existed and was being implemented to ensure the proper
calibration and control of M&TE.
F.
Technical Specification Surveillance
The licensee's surveillance programs for the auxiliary feedwater system,
diesel generator system, 125 volt D.C. power system, and HPSI system were
examined. The surveillances for these systems / equipment were verified by
comparing them with those surveillances required by the Plant Technical
Specifications. The program was sampled to determine the frequency and
thoroughness of the surveillances being performed.
It is concluded that
the surveillance programs appear to be adequate and to function as
designed.
G.
Committee Activities
The intent of this inspection was to verify that the Nuclear Safety Group
(NSG), the Onsite Review Committee (OSRC) and the Independent Safety
Engineering Group (ISEG) were functioning in conformance with Technical
Specification Requirements. The inspectors concluded that the groups
were meeting their requirements. Strengths noted during the inspection
were that, (1) QA audits were performed on all three groups within the
past year to assure that they were meeting their requirements and (2) the
OSRC chairman (Station Manager) had a major role in the discussions and
decisions made by the OSRC in the meetings that the inspectors attended.
H.
Plant Modifications
During the inspection a construction activity was observed which involved
the erection of scaffolding above and on safety related electrical
l
equipment. The inspectors questioned the conformance of this activity to
i
applicable requirements. The NRC wished to examined other aspects of the
situation. This area will be followed up by the resident inspection
staff and reported on during a future inspection.
I.
Vendor Field and Technical Manual Change Notices
.The inspectors reviewed the administrative controls and plant records to
assess the licensee's program to effectively identify, control,
distribute, schedule and implement vendor technical manual changes for
modifications and to ascertain that technical manuals are controlled and
maintained current according to a document' control program.
Several organizations are responsible for vendor mioual change control
depending on the type of change notices.
Bechtel
t. Siso receiving some
of the vendor's notices during this; transition,perloo. Overall, the
licensee's program and implementation.seemed adequate in this area.
Deficiency identified by previous NUS-audit appeared to be corrected.
No items of noncompliance with NRC requirements were identified within the
scope of this inspection.
