SUBJECT:

NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-528/96-14; 50-529/96-14; 50-530/96-14

Dear h/lr. Levine:

An NRC inspection was conducted November 18-22, 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.

The inspection included an evaluation of four applicants for senior reactor operator

licenses.

We determined that three of the four applicants satisfied the requirements,

and

the appropriate licenses have been issued.

The applicants performed marginally on the

written examination.

We considered this to be noteworthy since all were instructors in the

operations training department.

In contrast, we observed very good performance in all

aspects of the operating examination.

Finally, we concluded that the examination

developed by your staff was adequate

and required only minor revision.

However, the

written examination had more technical errors than we have previously observed.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter

and its enclosure willbe placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR).

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we willbe pleased to discuss

them with you.

Sincerely,

Thomas P. Gwynn, Di ector

Division of Reactor S
