Letter dated August 29,1996, from K. E. Brockman, USNRC to W. L. Stewart, APS
Dear Sirs:
Subject:
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS)
Units 1,2, and 3 Docket Nos. STN 50-5281529/530 PVNGS Physical Security Plan, Amendment 41 The PVNGS Physical Security Plan was amended on October 6,1996.
The amendment incorporated organizational changes within the Security Department, physical changes made to the protected area boundary, clarification to the description of the outer perimeter isolation zone, and drawing changes. Also included are the corrections to the Security Plan that were requested in the referenced letter.
The changes made in Amendment 41 resolved all issues identified in attachments 1 and 2 of the referenced letter. APS has evaluated and enhanced the Security Plan change review process to ensure future changes are subjected to a more thorough review. Additionally, a more conservative approach will be used in deciding whether to submit changes to the Security Plan under 10 CFR 50.54(p) or 10 CFR 50.90.

The referenced letter slso contained the following comment:
l i
"The change in this revision [40] also proposed to remove drawings of I
vital areas from the security. plan.
In this regard, during the above
[
telephone conversation we understood that Table 4-D, ' Vital Island Locations and Boundaries,' would list the alarm components of all
[
operable doors, portals, hatches, etc., in all vital areas."
I A more clear restatement of the referenced telephone conversation would be that all
[
information included on the drawings can be found or derived from information included j
in Table 4-D with the exception of the actual visual representation of the location of the l
vital area doors, portals, and hatches. The drawings, originally included in Amendment 39, did not include alarm component details.
1 In conclusion, we~ appreciate your staff's professionalism in working through these j
issues to achieve an improved and simplified Security Plan that meets the appropriate regulations for PVNGS.
