AND NOTICE OF VIOLATION

Dear Mr. Levine:

.

On March 17-21,1997, an NRC inspection of the f acility physical security program for the l

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1,2 and 3 was conducted. The inspec'. ion l

activities consisted of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,

interviews with personnel, and observation of activities in progress.

Overall, we determined that your physical security program was effectively implemer,ted.

We are concerned, however, that two violations were identified, which involved the failure '

to adequately protect safeguards information and to maintain an adequate vehicle barrier

system.

The violations are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances

surrounding the violations are described in detail in the enclosed report. You are required

to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice

when preparing your response. In your response, you should documen, the specific

actions taken and any additional actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing

your response to this Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of

future inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

The material enclosed herewith contains Safeguards information as defined by

10 CFR 73.21 and its disclosure to unauthorized individuals is prohibited by Section 147 of

the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. Therefore, the material will not be placed in

the Public Document Room.
