Subject:

FSAR Update

Dear Dr. Denton:

Arizona Public Service Company (APS),

the applicant for an operating license for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) Unit 2, wishes to advise you that

design, construction, and pre-operational testing are essentially complete except as noted herein and that we expect Unit 2 and the operating organization to be operationally ready on December 2,

1985, to commence the process leading to the fuel loading of the unit in accordance with the Technical Specifications for Unit 2:

A.

FSAR and Licensin Commitments Status 10 CFR Part 50.71(e) recognizes that the FSAR is a living document subject to periodic updating to conform the plant description set forth therein to its actual state at any point in time.

To the best of our knowledge, Reference 2 identified the known changes necessary to update the FSAR to conform to a current status.

Future discrepancies will be handled in a manner compatible with 10 CFR Part 50.59.

B.

Remainin Work Items The open item tracking systems in use at Palo Verde identify and track completion of outstanding hardware deficiencies, test deficiencies disclosed during pre-operational

testing, inspection issues and other items requiring resolution.

Entries are reviewed and classified so as to identify restraints to plant operational modes.

Outstanding items currently on the tracking systems are typical of an operating plant in both number and scope.

Those items classified as restraints to fuel load will be closed out or dispositioned prior to commencement of fuel load.

Similarily, items classified as restraints to any of Operational Modes 5

through 1 will be'losed out or dispositioned before operation in such mode is commenced.

C.

Items Not Com lete for Which Schedular Exem tions Have Been Submitted Items required by the

FSAR, other licensing commitments or other regulatory requirements which will not be completed by fuel load of Unit 2 are listed in Attachment 1.

Requests for schedular exemption and/or

)ustifications for interim operation respecting such items have been "submitted.

D.

Prep erational Tests Attachment 2 lists those Phase I (preoperational) tests which will be performed after initial fuel load per FSAR 14.2.5.

To the best of my knowledge, the foregoing addresses the remaining activities and items which bear upon your issuance of an operating license authorizing fuel loading and low power operation of Palo Verde Unit 2.

In summary, with the completion of such items as noted, except where schedular exemptions are

II 1,

Dr. Harold R. Denton Certification Regarding the Design, Construction and Pre-Operational Testing of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station Unit 2 ANPP-34083 Page 3

appropriate, I presently expect that we will be ready to commence the process leading to the fuel loading of Palo Verde Unit 2

on December 2,

1985.

Accordingly,- we request that a forty year operating license be issued on December 2, 1985.

Very truly yours,
