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.

J. Ball,

G. Fiorelli,

K. Ivey and

R.

Zimmerman of this office on May 10,

1987 through June

20,

1987, of activities authorized

by

NRC License

Nos.

NPF-41,

NPF-51 and

NPF-65,

and to the discussion of our findings held with yourself and

other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

0

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,

inter-

views with personnel,

and observations

by the inspectors.

Based

on the results of this inspection, it appears

that certain of your

activities were not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements,

as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed

herewith as Appendix A

and the Notice of Deviation, enclosed

herewith as Appendix B.

Additionally, we draw your attention to paragraph

12 of the attached

report which describes

the failure of a steam generator

sample valve to

pass

an inservice test

and your staff's

subsequent

actions

taken to

address

the valve malfunction.

We want to reemphasize

to you our

expectation that indications of a failure of safety related

equipment

be

conservatively

assessed,

promptly brought to management's

attention,

and

aggressively

pursued to resolution.

Your response

to these

Notices is to be submitted in accordance

with the

provisions of 10 CFR 2.201 as stated in Appendix A, Notice of Violation

and Appendix B, Notice of Deviation.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790(a),

a copy of this letter and the en-

closure will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.

The response

directed

by this letter and the accompanying

Notice are not

subject to the clearance

procedure of the Office of Management

and Budget

as required

by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,

PL 96-511.
