1450 MARIA LANE, SUITE 210

,&g WALNUT CREEK, CALIFORNIA 94596 DEC 6 1985 Docket Nos.: 50-275 and 50-323 Pacific Gas and Electric Company 77 Beale Street, Room 1451 San Francisco, California 94106 Attention: Mr. J. D. Shiffer, Vice President Nuclear Power Generation, Licensing -

Gentlemen:

The NRC is in the process of conducting safeguards Regulatory Effectiveness Reviews at nuclear power reactors. I wish to inform you that the Diablo Canyon 1 and 2 facility has been chosen for such a review scheduled for the week of January 13 through 17, 1986.

The prime purpose of the review program is to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the Diablo Canyon 1 and 2 safeguards program and to determine whether existing safeguards regulations yield the level of protection intended by NRC. The team performing the review supports NRC's quality assurance program for safeguards, both as it applies to the Diablo Canyon security system and to NRC's regulations. The review will complement, but be independent of, the licensing and inspection functions.

The review at Diablo Canyon will be conducted by a team with representatives from the Division of Safeguards, Region V, and U. S. Army Special Forces personnel from Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The review team will be comprised of two groups. One group will look at the facility's safeguards from the perspective of an insider, while the other will view safeguards from an external adversary's perspective. A list of participants is being provided to the Diablo Canyon Plant Manager.

The review will initiate with an entrance briefing. You may wish to have a representative of your corporate staff present during this briefing, as it I will provide an overview of the team's objectives and anticipated activities for the duration of the visit. Any questions that may arise concerning the team's review technique or other matters, will be addressed at that time.

For the remainder of the first day, the team would like to have a plant orientation tour v'.th emphasis on safeguards areas and systems, and begin the 1 examination of plant vital areas. During the remainder of the on-site assessment, I the team will continue reviewing vital areas and components, and the entire safeguards program. The last day is reserved for any activities the team has been unable to accomplish and for a briefing of plant and corporate personnel on the preliminary results of the review.

Please provide appropriate plant personnel support for both team groups during the scheduled review. The external group will require an escort from the security department who can communicate with alarm stations. The internal group will need escorts from both security and plant operations. The latter should be individuals familiar with the locations and detailed operation of the engineered safety feature systems and components at each unit. The team will make every effort to schedule its activities so as to avoid disruption of normal plant operations. The time that various team members will spend on-site will vary, but generally will range from four to seven hours per day.

If you have any questions regarding the conduct of these regulatory effectiveness reviews, which you wish to have answered prior to the team's visit, please contact Robert Dube, Safeguards System Evaluation Section, at (301) 427-4723 or Arthur McQueen of the Region V staff, at (415) 943-3770.
