SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50 361/97 17:50 362/97 17 AND NOTICE OF

VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Ray:

An NRC inspection was conducted July 6 through August 16,1997, at your San Onofre

Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 reactor facility. The enclosed report presents

the scope and results of that i,spection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at

San Onofre was generally characterized by safety conscious operations, sound engineering

and maintenance practices, and careful radiological work controls. This was especially

significant given the challenges posed by the dual unit outage. However, weaknesses in

operator attention to detail, knowledge of plant conditions, procedural adherence, the

communication of management expectations, and the overall quality of operational

procedures were noted. Your continued attention is warranted.

in addition, baseo on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that four

violations of NRC requirements occurred. These violations are cited in the enclosed Notice

of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding the violations are described in

detail in the enclosed report. Please note that, for Violations A, B, and D, 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 vf.th regulatory

requirements.

The NRC has concluded that information regarding the reason for Violation C, the /

corrective actions taken ano those planned to correct and prevent its recurrence are

already adequately addressed in Enclosure 2. Therefore, you are not required to respond to' /

/f

this letter for Violation C unless the description therein does not accurately reflect your

corrective actions or your position, in that case, or if you choose to provide additional

information, you should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice,

in accordance with 10 CFR Part 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this

letter, its enclosures, and your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room

(PDRh To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal privacy,

proprietary, or saf] guards information so that it can be placed in che PDR without

redaction.
