Attention:

Executive Vice President,
Nuclear
Gentlemen:
Subject:
NRC Inspection of'alo Verde Units 1,
2 and
3
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Messrs.
Ringwald and J.
Sloan of this office on October
16
1989, of activities authorized
by NRC License
Nos.
and to the discussion of our findings held
members of the Arizona Nuclear Power Project staff
the inspection.
D. Coe,
T. Polich, J.
through November 12,
NPF-51 and
by the inspectors with
at the conclusion of
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.
No violations or deviations of regulatory requirements
were identified;
however two issues
discussed
in .the enclosed
report continue to raise
concern regarding your performance of technical
work.
Paragraph
8
describes
an event at Unit 1 where a safety system flow transmitter
was
calibrated incorrectly due to apparent
communication problems
between
your engineering
and maintenance
organizations.
This event appears
to be
similar to problems
encountered earlier in 1989, where incorrect
technical
information was used in procedures
mid-loop operations.
Paragraph
10 discusses
your actions
regarding
long
term problems
encountered
with switches associated
with the plant
protective
system.
Our concern is that the priority placed
on addressing
this issue
may not have
been appropriate
considering the application of
the switches.
'n accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter and the
enclosure Hill be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
Should you have any questions
concerning'this
inspection,
we will be
pleased to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
S. Richards,
