INSPECTION

REPORT

NOS. 50-275/92-33

AND 50-323/92-33

This refers to the routine inspection

conducted

by H. Hiller, J.

Minton,

and

B. Olson during the period

from November

10 through

December

21,

1992.

This

inspection examined your activities as authorized

by NRC License Nos.

DPR-80 and

DPR-82.

At the conclusion of the inspection,

the inspectors

discussed

their

findings with members of the

PG&E staff.

Areas

examined during this inspection

are described

in the enclosed

inspection

report.

Within these

areas,

the inspection consisted of selective

examinations

of

procedures

and

representative

records,

interviews

with

personnel,

and

observations

by the inspectors..

A noteworthy strength

was

observed

during this inspection

period involving a

licensed

operator's

observation

of

a fastener

on the

ground.

The resulting

investigation identified a pending failure of an electrical connection

on a main

transformer,

which

was

promptly

repaired.

This

operator's

alertness

and

initiative may have averted

a plant trip.

This questioning attitude should

be

encouraged.

No violations or deviations

were identified during this inspection.

However,

paragraph

14.c of the enclosed inspection report discusses

one apparent Severity

Level

V violation which was identified during the Shutdown Risk Team Inspection

conducted

during the

1992 Unit

1 refueling outage.

This apparent

violation

concerned

plant staff personnel

who exceeded

Technical

Specification

overtime

limitations without prior authorization.

Since the criteria of Section VII.B.2

of the

NRC Enforcement Policy were satisfied, this violation was not cited.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790{a),

a copy of this letter and the enclosure will

be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

Should you have

any questions

concerning this inspection,

we will be pleased to

discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,
