Attention:
Mr.

Conway
Executive Vice President,
Nuclear
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-528/529/530/91-50
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Messrs.
W. Ang,
F. Ringwald,
J. Sloan,
and
H.
Wong of this office, and Mrs. M. Thompson,
NRR Project
Manager,
on December
18,
1991, through January
25,
1992.
The inspection
included
a review of activities authorized for your Palo Verde facility.
At
the conclusion of the inspection,
the findings were discussed
with those
members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas
examined during the inspection
are identified in the report.
Within
these
areas,
the inspection consisted of selective
examinations of procedures
and representative
records,
interviews with personnel,
and observation of
activities in progress.
Based
on the results of this'nspection,
one of your activities appeared
to be
in violation of NRC requirements,
as specified in the enclosed
Notice of
Violation (Notice).
Although
10 CFR Part 50, Section
2.201 requires that you
submit to this office a written statement
of explanation,
we note that this
violation had
been corrected
and those actions
were reviewed during this
inspection.
Therefore,
no response
with respect to this matter is required.
Your attention is directed to Paragraph
14 of the enclosed
inspection report,
which discusses
unexpected
changes of reactor protection instrument setpoints
associated
with steam generator
pressure.
We consider your initial response
to this significant issue to have
been
weak.
We encourage
you to review this
issue
and consider whether lessons
can
be learned
and applied to future event
responses.
In that the cause of the setpoint
changes
has not yet been
determined,
we intend to continue to closely follow this issue.
