INSPECTION
REPORT 50-528/9611;
50-529/9611;
50-530/9611
AND
Dear Mr. Stewart:
e
An NRC inspection
was conducted
June
2 through July 13,
1996,
at your Palo
Verde Nuclear Generating Station,
Units 1,
2,
and
3 reactor facilities.
The
enclosed
report presents
the
scope
and results of that inspection.
During the 6-week period covered
by this inspection,
your conduct of
activities at the Palo Verde facilities was generally characterized
by safety
conscious
operations,
sound engineering
and maintenance
practices,
and careful
radiological controls.
During this inspection,
the
NRC determined that two violations of NRC
requirements
occurred.
The firstviolation involved the. failure of
Instrumentation
and Controls maintenance
engineering to recognize that
a
change to the Unit 2 gualified Safety Parameter
Display System represented
a
change to the facility as described
in the safety analysis report
and to
review the change to determine
whether it represented
an unreviewed safety
question.
The second violation involved the failure of an individual to
process
themselves
and their hand carried
items through security search
equipment prior to entering the plant protected
area.
This item is of concern
since it represents
a
common practice for janitorial staff performing work at
the plant protected
area
access,
and this practice
was accepted
by plant
security.
These violations are cited in the enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice)
and
the circumstances
surrounding
the violations are described
in detail
in the
enclosed
report.
Please
note that you are required to respond to this letter
and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed
Notice when
preparing your response.
The
NRC will use your response,
in part, to
determine
whether further enforcement
action is necessary
to ensure
compliance
with regulatory requirements.
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

ADOCK 05000528

4
a
include
any personal
privacy, proprietary,
or safeguards
information so that
it can
be placed
in the
PDR without redaction.
Should you have
any questions
concerning this inspection,
we will be pleased
to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
