Subject:
NRC Inspection of Palo Verde Units 1,
2 and 3
This refers to the inspection conducted
by Messrs.
D. Coe, J.
Ringwald,
J.
Sloan,
and
C. Myers, from July 15 through August 25, 1990, of
activities authorized
by NRC License
Nos.
and
the discussion of our findings held by the inspectors with members of the
Arizona Public Service
Company staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
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.
Based
on the results of this inspection, it appears that two 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.
One of the violations concerns
the inadequate
documentation
and
evaluation of deficiencies
on motor operated
valve actvators.
While we
recognize yout recent efforts for improvement in your program for
identifying conditions adverse to quality, additional
management
attention appears
needed to assure that the operational significance of
motor operated
valve actuator setpoints in maintaining design basis
operability is recognized
and communicated.
We have reviewed your
corrective actions related to this violation and consider
them to be
adequate.
Therefore,
no response
to this violation is required.
This report also lists four Licensee
Event Reports
(LERS) submitted to
the
NRC since
December
6, 1989, all of which involve either
a missed
surveillance test or Technical Specification action requirement.
We
acknowledge that the corrective actions for each individual
LER appear
appropriate;
however,
a further review of underlying causes
appears
warranted.
Your response
to this Notice is to be submitted in accordance
with the
provisions of 10 CFR Part 2.201 as stated
in'Appendix A, Notice of
Violation.
