Attention:

Executive Vice President,
Nuclear
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
REPORT
OF MEETING WITH ANPP MANAGEMENT
This refers to a meeting held with yourself,
and members of your staff and
myself,
and other members of the
NRC staff, at the Arizona Public Service
Company Offices in Phoenix,
Arizona on September
1, 1989.
The subjects
discussed
are
summarized
in Meeting Report
Nos. 50-528/89-42,
50-529/89-42,
and 50-530/89-42,
enclosed
herewith.
During our meeting,
I expressed
to you my extreme
concern regarding the
failure of ANPP managers
to devote
any significant amount of time to the
observation of activities in important areas
of the plant.
My frustration is
heightened
due to the fact that this issue
has
beeh previously raised at past
management
meetings with your staff.
Furthermore,
the relatively large
number
of ANPP managers
who are
new to Palo Verde would seem to require
an increased
effort on their. part to get out in the plant and learn first hand about the
facility and the staff.
As I stated to you during the meeting, I consider
the
failure of the
ANPP management
team to spend time in the plant to be
a major
oversight in your efforts to implement positive changes at Palo Verde.
I
strongly recommend that you act in this area promptly and thoroughly..
In discussing
the Unit 2 Main Feedwater
System overpressurization
event,
and
the event wherein
an operator at Unit 2 failed to properly flash the main
generator field,'e identified to you that your staff had not exhibited the,
appropriate
instincts
when problems arise.
You should continue to reenforce
to your staff the basic principles you stated at our June
5 meeting of
stopping in the face of uncertainty
and reacting conservatively
when faced
'with questionable
situations.
Regarding your efforts to review long standing
concerns,
your actions
as
outlined in our meeting appear appropriate.
We again reiterate
the need to
perform this review thoroughly, particularly in light of the backlogs of
various
open issues.
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.
