Subject:
Docket Nos. 50-361 and 50-362
Reply to a Notice of Violation
San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3
Reference: Letter, Mr. Arthur T. Howell (USNRC) to Mr. Harold B. Ray
(SCE), dated January 7,1999
The referenced Inspection Report and Notice of Violation cover letter indicates "... you
are not required to respond to this letter unless the description therein does not
accurately reflect your corrective actions or your position." Southern Califomia Edison
(SCE) has reviewed the Inspection Report and while the report does accurately reflect
SCE's position relative tu the violations themselves, SCE would like to clarify two of the
corrective actions associated with the first violation mentioned in the inspection Report
(Violation 50-361/9822-01).
The first violation occurred during the week of the inspection, and involved the
detachment of a high radiation area sign and rope barrier for a short period of time. As
a part of the corrective actions which were developed prior to the inspector leaving the
site, a standown of appropriate contract workers was to be conducted and an article
discussing the occurrence was to be placed in the site news letter.
Relative to the standown, during discussions with the inspector the impression was
given that all contractors would participate in the standown and that the Maintenance
Manager, Construction Manager, and the Radiation Protection Manager would discuss
the occurrence and the importance of complying with radiation protection work
requirements. The inspection report reflects this and it further states that the standown
was conducted on December 15,1998.

January 26,1999
The standown was implemented as follows:
The SONGS Maintenance Manager, Construction Manager, and the
-
Radiation Protection Manager met with Bechtel Construction Company
(BCC) non-manual field engineers, superintendents, general foremen and
foremen, and conducted " stand-down training" on December 15,1998.
On December 15,1998, standowns of approximately 300 BCC craft, BCC
.
non-manual and nuclear construction non-manual personnel who are
involved in field activities were conducted by the above trained personnel.
The importance of maintaining radiological barriers and complying with radiation
protection work requirements was reiterated in a January 1,1999, Health Physics
Bulletin to RCA Personnel as well as a January 11,1999, site news letter article. As
discussed in the inspection Report, SCE is conducting a review of radiation worker
practices and root cause analysis of associated problems (referred to as an Event
Trend Report (ETR)). The ETR is currently scheduled for completion by the end of
February,1999. Additional corrective actions may be taken if deemed appropriate.
Relative to the news letter article, the information given to the inspector and reflected in
the inspection Report was that the article would appear in the January 4,1999, edition.
The article appeared in the January 11,1999, news letter rather than the January 4,
.
1999 edition.
SCE does not believe that these clarifications change the characterization of the
violations.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
'&
