NRC INSPECTION

REPORT 50-528/94-19;

50-529/94-19;

50-530/94-19

(NOTICE OF VIOLATION)

This refers to the inspection

conducted

by Nr. Arthur D. Ncgueen of this

office on Nay 23-27,

1994.

The inspection included

a review of activities

authorized for your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2,

and 3,

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.

The purpose of the inspection

was to determine

whether activities authorized

by the license were conducted safely

and in

accordance

with NRC requirements.

Based

on the results of this inspection, certain licensed activities appeared

to be in violation of NRC requirements,

as specified in the enclosed

Notice of

Violation (Notice).

The violation is of concern

because it involved the

failure to declare

an Unusual

Event for a reactor coolant system leak rate of

greater

than 44 gallons per minute.

The inspector verified that appropriate

corrective action

had

been

implemented; therefore,

no response to this Notice

is required.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"

a copy of

this letter

and its enclosures will be placed in the

NRC Public Document

Room.
