SUBJECT:

PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION, UNITS 1, 2, AND 3 - NRC SECURITY INSPECTION PROCEDURE 95001 SUPPLEMENTAL INSPECTION REPORT 05000528/2012405, 05000529/2012405 AND 05000530/2012405

Dear Mr. Edington:

On June 11, 2012, the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed a supplemental inspection, pursuant to Inspection Procedure 95001, at your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3. The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on June 13, 2012, with Mr. D. Mims, Senior Vice President, Regulatory Affairs, and other members of your staff.

In accordance with the NRC Reactor Oversight Process Action Matrix, this supplemental inspection was performed to follow-up on a performance issue which occurred in the second quarter of 2011. This issue was previously documented and assessed in NRC Inspection Report 05000528/2011404, 05000529/2011404 and 05000530/2011404. The NRC was informed on May 14, 2012, of your staffs readiness for this inspection.

The objectives of this supplemental inspection were to provide assurance that: (1) the root causes and the contributing causes for the significant issues were understood; (2) the extent of condition and extent of cause of the issues were identified; and (3) corrective actions were or will be sufficient to address and preclude repetition of the root and contributing causes.

Based on the results of this inspection, no findings were identified. M In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records System (PARS) component of NRC's Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

The material enclosed herewith contains Security-Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals could present a security vulnerability. Therefore, the material in the enclosure will not be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. If Security-Related Information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please mark your entire response, Security-Related Information in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(d)(1) and follow the instructions for withholding in 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1). In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390(b)(1)(ii), the NRC is waiving the affidavit requirements for your response.

Sincerely,

/RA/
