Subject:
NRC INSPECTION OF
PALO VERDE UNITS 1, 2,
AND 3
This letter refers to the inspection
conducted
by Messrs.
W. J.
Wagner and
H.
A. Freeman,
of this office, on-site January
13-17,
1992,
and in-office
February 4-5, 1992, of activities authorized
by
NRC License
Numbers
and to discussions
of our findings held with your 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.
As a result of our inspection, it was identified that there is
a lack
of system engineering
involvement in the processing
of limited design
change
packages
and material
non-conformance
reports dispositioned
as "Other,"
"Rework," or "Scrap."
Also, failure data trending information is not being
provided in a timely- manner to system engineers
on problems concerning their
systems.
Similar problems regarding the lack of system engineering
involvement in
problems with their systems
were identified in previous
NRC inspections.
We consider the system engineers
to have
a significant role in the assurance
of quality and safety of the plants.
Therefore,
we will continue to evaluate
your resolution of this issue through future inspections.
No violations or deviations
were identified within the scope of this
inspection.
