Attention:
Mr. E. E.
Van Brunt Jr.,
Executive Vice President
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 September
8, 1986, through
October
12,
1986 of activities authorized by NRC License Nos.
and Construction Permit Number CPPR-143,
and to the discussion of our findings
held with 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.
Recent
cases of personnel error'iscussed
in paragraph
15 of the enclosed
report, indicate the continuing need for aggressive
management
action to
minimize personnel
errors in the future.
Previous
NRC inspection reports
have
documented
our concern regarding problems during the operational
phase
which
were attributed to instances
of personnel error, including the failure to
follow plant procedures.
Your letter to the Region V office, dated
July 7,
1986 communicated
the corrective actions undertaken
and planned to
improve plant performance in this area.
Although some
improvement
has
been
evident,,
the recent
examples
indicate that further improvement is necessary.
In our meeting 'on October 28,
1986, it was tentatively agreed to review this
.area,
among others, in another
management
meeting in Walnut Creek in about 4-6
weeks.
At that time I would appreciate
your analysis of the effectiveness
of
your efforts to reduce personnel errors.
No violations or deviations of NRC requirements
were identified within the
scope of this inspection.
In accordance
with l0 CFR 2.790(a),,
a copy of this letter and the enclosure
will be placed i.n the
NRC Public Document
Room.
