SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION
OF
PALO VERDE UNITS 1,
2
AND 3
This letter refers to the routine inspection
by Messrs.
C. Clark,
C.
Ramsey
and
F.
Gee of this office, and Mr. D. Notley of HRR,
on January 8-April 12,
1990, of activities authorized
by
NRC License
Nos.
and
and to the discussions
of our findings held with members of your staff on
January
26,
1990,
February 9, 1990,
February 23,
1990 (per telecon),
March 23,
1990,
March 30,
1990, in the Region
V Office, and subsequent
telephone
conversations
through April 16,
1990.
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.
One violation, identified in
paragraph
2.E(5) of the enclosed
inspection report,
has not been cited since
the criteria set forth in 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, Section V.G.l, were found
to have
been satisfied.
This inspection identified that your personnel
are still reluctant to initiate
a Material Nonconformance
Report
(MNCR) or Engineering Evaluation
Request
(EER), immediately within their shift upon identification of a deficiency or
nonconformance
condition.
Without immediate documentation of these identified
conditions,
there is no way to ensure
adeq'uate operability determination,
engineering
evaluation
and management
review of the identified condition.
This area requires additional
management
attention.
The
NRC has
developed
several
concerns
regarding the status of your 10 CFR 50,
Appendix R, emergency lighting.
These
issues
are
documented
in the enclosed
inspection report
as unresolved
items.
We look forward to meeting with you
as
soon
as possible to resolve these
issues
and request that you expeditiously
advise
us of an acceptable
date.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter and the enclosure
will be placed
In the
NRC Public Document
Room.
