Southern California Edison Company Docket No. 50-206 t San Onofre Unit 1 License No. DPR-13 b

During an NRC. inspection conducted on November 18, 1988'through January 7'and Janua ry 12,.1989, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. !In accor-

' dance with 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 53 Fed. Reg. ~40019 (October 13, 1988),

the violation is listed below: .

Technical Specification 6.8.1 requires that applicable procedures recom-mended in Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 3.33, Revision 2', February 1978, be established and implemented.

• Section 10 of Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Revision 2, states that procedures should be provided for periodic chemistry sampling of plant systems.

Station procedure S0123-III-1.6.1, Revision 3 (Normal Operation of the Reactor Sampling System), defines the requirements for periodic sampling of the reactor coolant system for proper concentrations of boron for core reactivity control. Step 3.1 of this procedure requires that prior to use of the. procedure, the user must verify that the latest revision of L ,

the procedure is being used.

Contrary to the above, between November 30 and December 24, 1988, a Unit 1 chemistry technician did not verify use of the latest procedure revision for performing reactor coolant chemistry sampling. In particular, the technician used a Revision 2 procedure which did not include the latest requirements for sampling a depressurized reactor coolant system. ,
