Mr. E. E.

Gentlemen:
/
Subject:
NRC Inspection of Palo Verde Units 1,
2 and 3.
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Messrs.
R. Zimmerman,
C. Bosted,
G. Fiorelli, J. Ball and K. Ivey of this office on July
1 August 3,
1986 of
activities authorized
by NRC License Nos.
NPF-51 and Construction
Permit Number CPPR-143,
and to the discussion of our findings held with
yourself and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
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.
Based
on the results of this inspection, it appears
that one of your
activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements,
as set
forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed
herewith as Appendix A.
Your response
to this Notice is to be submitted in accordance
with the
provisions of 10 CFR 2.201
as stated in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.
In addition to, the above violation, we continue to have
some concern with the
level of quality exhibited by your post trip review process.
Our letter to
you dated January
30,
1986, which transmitted Inspection Report 50-528/85-43,
provided an assessment
of your post trip evaluations;
identifying areas
which
we believed required
improvement.
Our recent review of your post trip efforts
regarding
a reactor trip at Unit
1 on July 12,
1986, indicated that although
improvements
have been
made, further enhancement
to the process is warranted.
Particular 'emphasis
should be focused
on data gathering
and evaluation,
the
development of a systematic
approach
toward planning
and troubleshooting of
equipment malfunctions
and the development of specific plant restart criteria.
Our inspectors
noted that considerable
revamping of your post trip review
methodology took place following our comments during the July
12 post trip
review process.
Although those
changes
appear
to have been effective in
improving the thoroughness
and approach
toward evaluation, of a subsequent
reactor trip, we believe that
a continuing strong
commitment
on the part of
corporate
and plant management is necessary
to achieve post trip review
evaluations
of consistently high quality.
