SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-528,529,530/93-43
This re'ers to the inspection conducted by J. Sloan, H. Freeman, and
f
A. MacDougall of this office, and T. Alley, of the Department of Energy, on
September 21 through November 1, 1993. The inspection included a review of
activities authorized for your Palo Verde 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 inspection identified two violations of NRC requirements, both involving
the failure to follow procedures. You are commended for identifying and
correcting the first violation, which involved performing a surveillance test
using an outdated revision. The second violation involved a maintenance
technician who inappropriately signed for a review that was required to be
signed by the ASME Section XI pump and valve engineer. These violations were
not cited because the enforcement discretion criteria in the Enforcement
Policy were satisfied.
The inspection also noted several instances in which licensee personnel took
appropriate actions in response to deficient conditions and followed plant
procedures. These included: performing a thorough follow-up to a loose jam
nut on an auxiliary feedwater pump; mounting a . camera in the refueling canal
to identify foreign objects; implementing appropriate corrective actions when
an out-of-date procedure revision was identified; removal and inspection of a
diesel generator bearing; and identification of error made during
reconstitution of a fuel assembly.
Additionally, one violation is referenced in this inspection report regarding
deficiencies you identified involving the performance of auxiliary operators.
A Notice of Violation was separately issued on October 15, 1993, and no
respcnse was requested. The violation is listed in this report for
administrative purposes only.
