Subject:

Request for Additional Lnformation-Palo Verde Safety Valves.

Dear Mr. Knighton:

License No. NPF-34 for PVNGS Unit 1 in Section 2.C(22) is conditioned as follows:

"Pressurizer Safet Valves Section 5.4 SSER 7

Prior to initial criticality, APS shall establish the acceptability of increased blowdown of the pressurizer safety valves for power operation."

The PVNGS Unit 1 license was conditioned as a result of the staff continuing its review of the safety significance of the safety valve increased blowdown on power operation as discussed in Reference 1.

The staff has since determined that additional information is required to complete the review.

This request for addi-tional information was transmitted to ANPP in Reference 2.

Attached, for the staff's review, are the responses to the request for information required to complete the review.

The submittal of this information also establishes the acceptability of the increased blowdown of the pressurizer safety valves for power operation as required by License Condition 2.C(22).

Please contact Mr. W. F. quinn of my staff if you have any questions on this matter.
