Attention:
Mr. E. E. Van Brunt Jr. ,
Executive Vice President
Gentlemen:
Subject: NRC Inspection of Palo Verde Units 1, 2 and 3.
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. R. Zimmerman,
C. Bosted, G. Fiorelli, J. Ball and J. Melfi of this office on May 27,
1986, through June 30, 1986 of activities authorized by NRC License Nos.
NPF-41, NPF-51 and Construction Permit Number CPPR-143, and to the
discussion of our findings held with yourself and other members of your
staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
Areas examined during this inspection are described in the enclosed
inspection report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of
selective examinations of procedures and representative records, inter-
views with personnel, and observations by the inspectors.
Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that one of your
activities was not conducted in full compliance with NRC requirements, as
set forth in the Notice of Violation, enclosed herewith as Appendix A.
Additionally, paragraph 9 in the enclosed report documents a discrepancy
between the inputs used in the seismic calculation for the diesel
generator bridge cranes, and those required by the design specification.
This instance of failure to assure that procured equipment satisfies the
appropriate design specification is similar in nature to several examples
for which a violation was issued following the NRC Construction Appraisal
Team inspection conducted earlier this year (50-530/86-03). A report of
the team's findings and a Notice of Violation were transmitted to you on
April 4, and June 16, 1986, respectively.
It is our understanding that
you have agreed to include your assessment and corrective actions
associated with the adequacy of the diesel generator bridge crane design
verification as part of your response to Item 2, in the Notice of
Violation issued on June 16, 1986. Also, it is our understanding that
you have agreed to respond to that Notice of Violation, in total, by the
revised date of July 28, 1986.

closure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
