Attention:

Mr. William F.

Conway,

Executive Vice President

Nuclear

Gentlemen:

Subject:

NRC Inspection of Palo Verde Units 1,

2 and

3

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by Messrs.

T. Polich,

D.

Coe

and

G. Fiorelli of this office on March '20 through April 26,

1989, of

activities authorized

by

NRC License

Nos.

NPF-41,

NPF-51

and NPF-74,

and

to the discussion of our findings held by the inspectors

with members

of

the Arizona Nuclear

Power Project staff at the conclusion of the

inspection.

Areas

examined during this inspection

are described

in the enc)osed

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 several

of your

activities were not conducted

in full compliance with NRC requirements,

as set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed

here'with

as Appendix A.

We are particularly concerned with the adequacy of your preparation for,

and execution of Reactor Coolant System

(RCS) mid-loop operations.

The

procedures

for this activity appeared

incomplete.

Engineering

data

was

not properly incorporated,

and adequate

contingency actions 'were not

specified.

Furthermore,'your oversight organizations

did not provide

timely, critical assessments

commensurate

with the importance of this

evolution.

We request

that you address

these

concerns

in your response

to

Item A of the Notice of Violation.

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 accordance

with 10

CFR 2.790(a),

a copy of this letter and the

enclosures 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.
