The information presented is preliminary, requires further evaluation and is basically all that is known by the IIT on this date. FACILITY: Southern California Edison Company Emergency Classification Unit 1 X Notification of Unusual Event Docket No. 50-206 Alert Site Area Emergency General Emergency Not Applicable

SUBJECT:

Status Report from NRC Incident Investigation Team The Incident Investigation Team (IIT) remains onsite gathering data, conducting interviews, inspecting equipment, meeting with the licensee, concurring in licensee action plans and analyzing facts. A preliminary sequence of everits has been developed by the IIT and is attached. A set of preliminary hypr theses e explaining the significant events has been developed by the IIT'and are'being investigated. All interviews should be completed on November 27, 1985. All licensee action plans for further troubleshooting and uncovering remaining event related information should be. finalized on November 28, 1985. Assuming the combination of information possessed by the IIT and the licensee action plans to uncover additional facts appear adequate to project closure of significant open issues, the IIT intends to depart the site by December 1, 1985, and to reassemble in Bethesda, Maryland. A final status report'will be issued prior to the IIT's departure from the site. CONTACT: T. Martin , W. Lanning
