INSPECTION
REPORT 50-528/94-26;
50-529/94-26;
50-530/94-26
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Mr. K. Johnston
and others of this
office on July 24 through September
3,
1994.
The inspection
included
a review
of activities authorized for your Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station,
Units I, 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.
The results of this inspection
are
documented
in the enclosed
report.
Early in the inspection period,
the "reengineered"
organization
was
implemented for the maintenance,
engineering,
nuclear assurance,
and licensing
organizations.
While we noted that the transition
had occurred
smoothly
and
that
some benefits of the
new organization
were realized,
we also noted that
there
were lingering concerns
at the maintenance
worker level with the
effectiveness
of the
new organization
and the work processes.
While we
recognize that
such
broad
changes will result in some worker anxiety,
we
encourage
you to continue to thoroughly assess
all issues
as they
may be early
indications of weaknesses
in the
new work processes
and organizations.
You identified that shift technical
advisor
(STA) manning requirements
were
not met for a period greater
than two hours
as
a result of the shift technical
advisor's unfamiliarity with Technical Specification
Requirements.
This
violation is not being cited because
the criteria in paragraph VII.B.2 of
Appendix
C to
10 CFR Part 2 of the
NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
were satisfied.
In addition, it was identified that required presentations
to the Plant
Review
9410210007
941014
ADOCK 05000528
6
Arizona Public Service
Company
Board were not made in accordance
with procedures.
This violation is also not
being cited because
the criteria in paragraph
VII.B.I of Appendix
C were
satisfied.
In both instances,
your staff took prompt
and effective action to
correct the problem.
We were also encouraged
by the prompt actions
and
responses
to other inspector observations
and findings.
Three unresolved
items were identified concerning the:
failure of 'the Unit 3
pump to start
(Section 2.4); failure of a containment
spray valve to operate
(Section 3.2);
and environmental qualification of
steam
supply valves
(Section 6.2).
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.
Should you have
any questions
concerning this inspection,
we will be pleased
to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
Division of Reactor
Projects
