a
deviation of your Updated Final Safety Analysis Report was identified.
In

below:
The Palo Verde Updated Final Safety Analysis Report,
Section

In partial
implementation of these
commitments,
Procedure
Revision 0,
"GTG Parallel
Operation With Nonclass
1E Loads," provided
instructions for the testing of the gas turbine generators
(GTGs).
Step 8. 1. 11. 1 states,
in part, to complete Section 6.4 of
Procedure
"Gas Turbine Generator
1 Operating Instructions,"
prior to paralleling
GTG ¹I to offsite power.
Procedure
Section 6.4,
Step 6.4.3. 1, specifies that the operator
ensure that the
GTG
1 speed control isoch/droop
switch is in the droop position.
Contrary to the above,
on March 9,
1995, prior to paralleling
GTG
1 to
offsite power,
a nonlicensed
operator did not accomplish testing of
station blackout coping equipment
(the
GTGs) in accordance
with test
instructions in that
he did not ensure that the
GTG
1 speed control
isoch/droop
switch was in the droop position.
The switch remained
in
the isoch position
and
as
a result
GTG
1 tripped when it was paralleled
to offsite power.
