AND
This refers to the inspection
conducted
by Messrs.
L. T. Ricketson
and
G.
L. Guerra of this office on March 6-10,
1995.
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 indicates
a.
weakness
in your program to control radioactive materials
and contamination.
You are required to respond
to this letter and should follow the instructions
specified in the enclosed
Notice when preparing your response.
In your
response,
you should
document the specific actions
taken
and
any additional
actions
you plan to prevent recurrence.
Your response
may reference
or
include previous docketed
correspondence, if the correspondence
adequately
addresses
the required response.
After reviewing your response
to this
Notice, including your proposed
corrective actions
and the results of future
inspections,
the
NRC will determine
whether further
NRC enforcement
action is
necessary
to ensure
compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
Additionally, since your staff has also identified related
problems
please
discuss
your actions to address
the generic
problem of radioactive material
and contamination control at your facility.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the
NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter, its enclosure(s),
and your response will be placed in the
NRC
Public Document
Room
(PDR).
To the extent possible,
your response
should not
include
any personal
privacy, proprietary,
or safeguards
information so that
it can
be placed
in the
PDR without redaction.
However, if you find it
necessary
to include such information, you should clearly indicate the
