NOTICE OF VIOLATION Krizona Public Service Company Docket No. 50-528 P.O. Box 53999, Station 9082 License No. NPF-41 Phoenix, Arizona 85072-3999 During an NRC inspection conducted on January 25-29, and February 11-12, 1993, a violation of NRC requirements was identified.

In accordance with the

" General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C, the violation is listed below:

Paragraph 2.E. of the Facility Operating License No. NPF-41 for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station requires the licensee to fully implement and maintain in effect all provisions of the Commission-approved physical l

security, guard training and qualification, and safeguards contingency plans, including all amendments to those plans made pursuant to provisions of the Miscellaneous Amendments and Search Requirements revisions to 10 CFR 73.55, and pursuant to the authority of 10 CFR 50.90 and 10 CFR 50.54(p).

Section 3.1.2. of the licensee's approved Security Plan describes in part the design and specifications of the protected area perimeter fence and requires that this fence provide " assurance of no intruder penetration."

P Contrary to the above, as of February 11, 1993, the protected area perimeter fence failed to provide assurance of no intruder penetration in that the bottom of a fence section was capable of being raised to a height of eleven inches.

This is a Severity Level V Violation (Supplement III).

i Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Arizona Public Service Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S.
