SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-361/97-02:50-362/97-02 AND NOTICE OF
VIOLATION l
Dear Mr. Ray:
An NRC inspection was conducted January 12 through February 22,1997, at your San
Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 reactor f acilities. The enclosed report
presents the scope and results of that inspection.
During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the San
Onofre f acilities was generally characterized by safety-conscious operation, sound
engineering and maintenance practices, and careful radiological work controls.
During this inspection period two violations were identified in the operations area, three
situations involving f ailure to follow procedural or drawing requirements were identified
regarding: (a) the order of valve manipulations while realigning shutdown cooling, resulting
in the inadvertent transfer of about 1000 gallons of water from the refueling water storage
tank to the reactor coolant system; and (b) maintaining reactor coolant system pressure
within prescribed parameters. These violetions were the result of weaknesses in
communication and operator attention to detail. In the engineering area, personnel
conducting steam generator tube hydrostatic tests failed to maintain pressure for the
length of time specified by procedure.
These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the
circumstances surrounding the violations are described in detailin the enclosed report.
Please note that you are required to respond to this letter and should follow the ,
instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. The NRC will /!
use your response, in part, to determine whether further enforcement action is necessary
to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
l '
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, 1 p ,/,'I--
its enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR). >f
To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy, proprietary,
or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction.
